Im only 20 weeks and I feel so emotional lately, I just feel so exhausted and unmotivated, work is a struggle, I feel anxious about the health of my baby, I feel so bored but struggle to get out of bed and can’t be bothered to do anything or see people, my pregnancy acne is also really getting me down. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful because I’m super excited for baby to arrive but it feels like such a long way away and everything in between just feels crap, anyone else struggling? :(

Give me a messaged if you need someone to talk to girl I feel how you feel at the moment and struggling with how I’m feeling and feel very lonely and isolated xx

Ah bless you I think this feeling comes and goes. the days when you're not excited and feel down are worrying but they pass! Have you had your scan yet ? That was such a boost For me ! It's normal to feel every emotion in the book so just ride the waves and take it easy when you feel this way xx x x

I had my 20 week scan and they said he was measuring quite small and particularly his femurs which I think had contributed to me feeling a bit crap as it’s just another thing to worry about or feel down about, I have another in 4 weeks, they said they aren’t worried but I feel like I always think the worst 🤣 x

oh noooo that isn't nice to have those worries on your mind :( , just take it easy for the month in that case. Sometimes I understand why people don't want to get scans because sometimes they cause such worry for no reason 😭 hope it's all good news in a month, if they're not worried that's a good sign, it'll be a precaution!

Ah I know, I was looking forward to it and it’s hard because there’s no clarity it’s like ‘it’s probably all fine’ but there’s a slight chance it could not be which then plays on your mind! Thank you, I hope so, I am small myself so maybe he’s just taking after me 🤣 x

ah thank you that definitely makes me feel much better! X

Me2 ! Ur not alone 22 weeks here

When I was born, they were telling my parents I'd be a supermodel with the length of my femurs - at a now towering 5ft 3, I feel robbed 😂 Try to find something you are enjoying and focus on that - it doesn't have to be the pregnancy. I know we're "meant to" be all pious and thrilled to be blessed with a child, but also it's really physically and emotionally difficult! So play some games, binge netflix, paint your nails, eat your fave treats - focus on absolutely anything that gives you a boost and just hibernate for as long as you need it without attaching judgement to any of it about yourself. Pregnancy is hard AF, don't beat yourself up for finding it hard - we all are too 😅 ❤️

ahahahaha amazing 🤣 thank you, my partner has agreed we can go on holiday as I really feel a need something to look forward to, some wintery sun and a rest 🤣❤️

yesss I love Spain 🙌🏻
