You’ve described how I feel so perfectly. I’ve always been afraid to admit it though because we tried so long and this baby is so, so wanted that I feel like I’m not allowed to admit I’m struggling through fear of looking like I’m ungrateful to be having this baby, which is totally not the case, he’s a complete blessing which I’m so grateful for, but pregnancy is hard. I’ve had a rough ride so far and have a long way to go, we’re at very high risk of pre term labour so every day is full of anxiety for me which is so all consuming it sort of overshadows all the good stuff.I’ve hated every minute of it, other than feeling baby move, seeing him on scans and shopping for him etc (so the ‘nice’ bits). Everything else has been full of anxiety, pain, sickness, stress etc. Even now feeling him move all day the anxiety is still there that something could still go wrong. My brain won’t even let me think about bringing him home because my anxiety takes over and tells me I might not. It’s been awful.
I struggled with my first pregnancy to the point of peri-natal depression.Anyone struggling to enjoy their first trimester or pregnancy in general? I wanna be soo happy and excited but I’m too scared to really enjoy it just incase xx
I had 2 in the last week that they were very confident were effective and nothings happened eitherFinally voted for full term. Can’t believe I’m there already39+4 today. Had a sweep this morning which was ineffective but trying not to be too disheartened.

My 2 year old said to me “mummy has biiiiig nipples”My 4 year old just turned round to me and said ‘Mummy you look fat and big’ cheers mate I am 32 weeks pregnant![]()
This sounds like when my husband told me he would use blue medical gloves for every nappy change so brought 3 boxes home. I’m sure you can guess how many times he actually used the gloves. (Hint: ZERO!)Mr R is convinced we’ll be getting up and taking him to his room to change all night so won’t need any extra change mats etc. He’s also going to apparently take every nappy across our parking area to the outside bins straight away rather than a collection at the end of the dayat 3am when it’s the 4th nappy change of the night and it’s cold and drizzly?! Course you are babe
