I feel like as long as you and baby are progressing correctly and nothing is wrong with your pregnancy that you are good I keep having to remind myself that

I felt exactly this way the first two trimesters. I was low energy, not excited, petrified, full of anxiety, I could keep going…it was bad. I had a friend tell me that she was in survival mode during hers and encouraged me to not worry about focusing on things like what I am and am not eating or doing. This was the most important time to allow myself to “be” however I needed to “be” in my life. The devil is in the details. The baby, more than anything right now, needs a stable mom. If that means that you avoid consuming yourself with everything baby to prevent anxiety and stress, or eat whatever you can or want just to get food in you, you rest for days on end, whatever you need. Now is the time to give it to yourself unapologetically. I removed myself from the FB groups, I haven’t opened the What To Expect book at all, short of washing my produce and not eating tile fish, I consume whatever I want whenever I want. Some days I stretch and feel good, others I lay in bed all day.

Take care of YOU the way YOU need to right now. Whatever that means for you. He will be okay. Once he comes you have the rest of your life to worry about the details. Right now, listen to your mind and body and trust that the doctors/your support system/etc will guide you when necessary. Keep your head up!

You're not alone 💜 I feel like I've been struggling to just survive life as a single mother-to-be...I feel like I have failed with exercise and diet as well as doing all the right things to be the best mom. All we can do is what feels best for us and give ourselves grace. We are growing tiny humans! That's a lot of work in itself 🤗 some days are super productive, and some days are the complete opposite, where I lay in bed all day. Just allow yourself to be where you are and enjoy the process. Trust your intuition!
