I had a good pregnancy besides the usual stuff lol, I think my birth went pretty alright too and it's so hard to think about how big she's gotten so far. I can't wait to learn about her as a person though, what her fabourite colour is, her favourite animal, her first words, if she wants to do sports or clubs at school, just all the fun things :)
I cry about all of that also. It’s like this big build up when you’re pregnant and everything is so exciting and everyone is getting excited and prepared and then you deliver and it’s amazing and beautiful, and then it kinda just ends. I totally get it, I have a two year old and an almost three month old. But one thing i remind myself is that if I’m spending all this time being sad over what they used to be and how fast they are growing I’ll miss out on the now. The present is so beautiful and you have to live in it to fully soak up your baby. Because in a month from now you’ll look back on where your baby is at now and think oh my goodness they were so little! Live in the moment, study what they look like and smell like and feel like now and soak it up ❤️ it’s such a gift being a momma. Sooooo bittersweet
Journaling helps me, that way I feel like I can get all my feelings out.
I felt the same way. I was really emotional and missed my pregnancy. And I was also sad about baby growing up too. Birth was a shock for me and everything that followed. I cried constantly. Tbh I have doubts what I experienced was normal and I regret not seeking support. I would recommend speaking with a professional about how you're feeling - it doesn't hurt.
It didn’t happen to me but remind yourself what’s to come will be wonderful. Like them talking and calling you mama for the first time or when they start to giggle loudly ect… you gotta continuously redirect yourself into the positive thoughts. It takes some practice but it works.
