About my job, my appearance and not having much time away from work once baby is here. I know some other moms have posted about feelings like these in the past so I know it’s normal but man am I really not having a happy day.

First, I work from home full-time and it’s a blessing and a curse at the same time. It’s a blessing because I am able to be comfortable during my pregnancy and there’s more flexibility with my prenatal appointments. But there’s also no clear distinction between work time and personal time, meaning once I’m done with work I’m already home and I just don’t want to be in my house like at all. Most times I end up driving to the store just to walk around and get out for a bit but my life seems so monotonous because of my job.

Secondly, my body is going through an immense amount of changes and I can’t keep up! Between the weight gain and smelliness i am starting to feel super self conscious, on and the extra hair everywhere! Talk about having low self esteem right now.

Third, why the hell does the US only allow you to take 6 weeks of paid leave after baby is born? Seriously WTF???

Mamas please share what you are going through? Feelings of concern, frustration, etc I think it’d be nice to see what others are going through because I know I’m not alone.
