pregnancy guilt

First let's start off with congratulations to all the pregnant mommies out there and best of luck to those TTC.

But never feel guilty for being pregnant. I see it on here far too often!

Wether you are happy, excited, and want to share that with the world...or you are miserable and hating being pregnant and want some comfort.

Somebody else's struggle to get pregnant does not negate the struggles of being pregnant.

Just because somebody else wishes that they got to go through the squished organs, swollen ankles, morning sickness, and overall discomfort of being pregnant does NOT mean that you have to enjoy it.

I am of course excited to meet my baby girl; but being pregnant has been one of the most miserable experiences of my life.

At the safe time don't be afraid to share your excitement or love of pregnancy out of fear of hurting the feeling of those who haven't yet been able to enjoy it. You are allowed to be excited about every small step along the way. Your body is doing something AMAZING and you don't have to dull your shine for one second...rock your pregnancy glow!

With that said I have a massive amount of respect for anybody TTC or who struggles with fertility. That's isn't an issue I have ever faced, and I can only imagine how hard it is. Baby dust toneverybody who needs it, and a happy and healthy pregnancy to those who are lucky enough to be pregnant!!
