I’ve been dealing with depression my entire pregnancy. I have yet to talk to anyone other than you ladies. I know I should talk to my mom, boyfriend or OB but I’m scared of their judgement. My mom fears it and has mentioned to my boyfriend “no matter what, don’t let her get depressed.” We’re a very happy couple, and everyday he tells me I’m beautiful and how much he loves me and our daughter. But I still struggle with loving my new body. My new emotions. My new mindset. And my new life. I’m scared to raise my baby bc I know someday she will turn into a pre-teen, then a teen, then a full blown adult. I know it’s hard and it always scares me, but I’m also ready at the same time. I’m very close to my mom as well, and she’s very excited to get another granddaughter bc there’s so many grandsons. I’m still very terrified to continue to watch my body grow and stretch and hurt, but I know my baby is healthy. Or so I feel she is, she’s always moving and kicking away. I’m 22w2d and have the worst clinic ever. I was supposed to be scheduled for a big scan four weeks ago, but they never sent the referral to the private clinic bc they don’t do it there. They said it was to check all her organs and growth. I have my regular appointment tomorrow, so I’m going to put my foot down and let them know their lack of communication between me and each other sucks. Anyways, this post was mainly to say thank you to all you ladies that comment positivity and be real with me. Your words helped me a lot. Helped me accept my bump, my fears, and worries. I appreciate all of you. 💗💗
