Just feel sad

😓You can start from now ✨ make conscious choices to enjoy it. You are still in it

I was young in my first pregnancy (19 going on 20) and I don't really remember making the most out of it. Like I didn't take pictures or do any major celebrations, I didn't have a lot of friends or a major big family. It sort of just flew by without making most of it. But the experience won't be forgotten and is not less special than the others . It was better in some way cos I didn't know what to expect so I was in a sort of bliss. Whereas this and my 2nd was sort of like I knew wat to expect so was even more nervous. I've made more out of these pregnancies but it doesn't take away the bond with my first and treasured the memories just as much. It felt just as special each time.

I get where you're coming from! Ours wasn't planned (although very much wanted) so I feel like that caused some stress at the beginning, we were already planning on moving cities so spent the beginning house hunting, the middle waiting around on solicitors/ estate agents and now I'm 33 weeks we're finally moving. I haven't really had any time to relax and just enjoy it and my partner moved to the new city early to begin their job whilst I've had to stick with mine in the old city for the maternity leave so I feel like he's missed out on a lot of the 1sts ect. I was also sad about not having any bump pictures so my friends organised a little photo shoot at my baby shower which was cute. It definitely sucks but you've still got a bit of time, so I would try and make an effort now to do a few of the things you wanted too. At the same time don't beat yourself up over it if you run out of time, you're about to get a whole wonderful first year of first times and you want to stay present to enjoy them ❤️

Start to try enjoy it now for sure, take the pictures and do something that makes you happy, pamper yourself and relax. Don’t pressure yourself too much. You still have a life time of your little one to enjoy x

My partner has some alcohol issues which kicks badly during the pregnancy - so despite the fact that we had a small family gathering to reveal the gender and we had maternity photoshoots etc. all those bad moments put a shadow on my overall pregnancy experience. So I think with or without enjoyable moments you could still feel down and lonely during that journey - just try to make the best of it and concentrate on your mental well-being. Look for professional help if things starts to look really dark! I think motherhood will compensate everything!!! Chin up and feel free to message me 🍀
