Never have been so angry and hurt in my life!
Last night I was talking to my mom about a couple of my Ailments with my pregnancy this go around. Compared to my first pregnancy it's really a complete 180 for the better. I have cerebral palsy so in case you don't know what that is it's a brain injury from birth that causes my muscles to behave differently than a normal person. It's mostly lower extremity so I walk a little weird anyway it does effect my whole body though. It causes me to be high risk automatically. With my first pregnancy it was horrible constant morning sickness, dizziness, and light headedness. So this pregnancy has had very light morning sickness and yesterday was my first dizzy spell that I've had this time and for a moment I thought I was going to pass out. Another thing that difference with this pregnancy is my feet and legs swell and go numb if I stand too long almost like I've been walking around an amusement park All day long. As I was trying to tell my mother this she just shook her head and said "I really don't think you can raise two kids, I honestly don't think you can do it. Don't you realize how hard it's going to be?..." and then proceeded to compare my pregnancy to when she was pregnant with my brother 21 years ago. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it. I was so angry but I said nothing just sat there with a surprised look on my face. Then I went to my room and balled my eyes out. I've been sick to my stomach all day. I told my husband about it he didn't know what to say. I told my father about it and his facial expression was more surprised than mine. And he laughed in disbelief then said, "wow I think that's her way of saying she doesn't want y'all to move out."
I just don't know what to do? Have y'all ever been through with this?
And for those who are curious I'm going to be 13 weeks tomorrow.
