Looking for words of encouragement or stories of joy

I’m a mom of a 9 month old and just found out I’m pregnant again. I didn’t enjoy most of being pregnant, had a traumatic birth experience and our baby was super colicky for the first 3 months. I just feel so overwhelmed and scared of going through it all again so soon. I have a great husband and family and know things will be okay, but it just feels like a huge mountain to climb when I was JUST starting to really enjoy things. I believe children are a gift, and so I feel ashamed for not feeling more grateful. I’m hoping to maybe hear some fun stories or things to look forward to from other people with similar situations, to remind myself there will be lots of good even if it’s challenging. 💗

This is honestly great news congratulations

Congratulations! Pregnancy is very hard so have grace for yourself :) With warmer weather around the corner it will be helpful to get out and have some daily fresh air, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Every pregnancy and birth is different so be open minded that this one will be it own experience. Ask for help when you’re feeling sick or need a nap because it really is hard, especially with a little one. Also for colic, I’d encourage you to look into nervous system chiropractic care. It helps a lot! Colic is a symptom, not a diagnosis, so there may be some underlying struggle or tension. You’ve got this. It is a blessing :)

Remember it's an honor to be a mother and be able to bring life to the world. This pregnancy may be completely different in a good way. And your little ones will have a sibling to play and grow up with!

Your last pregnancy experience will not be exactly the same as this one 💯 your last birth experience won't be exactly the same as this one 💯 your first baby will not be exactly the same as this one 💯 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I've had 5, some close in age, some super far in age.. every one has been different. I'm basically addicted to the birth process at this point after finding the best way for my mind and body. You've had the crash course; you can now adapt your approach to not have as traumatic (or not at all) of an experience ❤️
