I can’t be the only one? 😭

I had my 3rd baby at 36 and OMG that pregnancy was rough! All i can say is just hang in there it’s only 10 months then you will be in love!!!!!

This is not abt age; it’s just abt becoming a first 1 time. No matter what age u are, it does get overwhelming to think ur going to become a mother and ur body is literally creating life. So all these emotions are so normal and the physical changes as well. Please give urself some grace & also know ur not alone. Take care of urself and take everyday one day at time. Congratulations & welcome to motherhood

Pregnancy is hard! Im 39 with my 3rd definitely more tyring than my first 2. Its overwhelming, exhausting, feel like crap. Just take each day step by step. My relationship ended after my 2nd but wasnt to do with Pregnancy or baby just ended. This relationship felt tough after found out as I mentally couldnt get my head around it and my hormones where insane but definitely better now 🥰 welcome to message me x

All completely normal emotions to feel when you know you’re expecting! Life will change for the better I can assure you :) once you have your baby in your arms, mum mode will just kick in.
Feeling the symptoms of pregnancy is another thing and it’s rough!! Just make sure you get as much rest as possible and don’t put any pressure on anything but looking after yourself and bump :) definitely get in touch with a gp or your midwife if you feel too ill to do much but just be kind to yourself and to each other. Parenthood is a massive change for you both so definitely concentrate on being a couple for now xx

I am 36 and have just welcomed our baby girl almost 5 weeks ago.
I really struggled throughout pregnancy with anxiety and my MH took a real dip and I too felt my relationship with my other half was very strained, almost like the pregnancy was one sided and he was very distant.
Hang in there. It gets harder before it gets better but hang in there.
The 1st trimester and the first of the 2nd trimester were probably the toughest and id say the loneliest for me, but trust me, the 2nd half of the 2nd trimester, when you start to show, start buying things etc, and the third trimester when you start organising, and preparing for your arrival, that's when things will even themselves out.
Welcoming your new baby together does something to your chemistry. I was really worried about him seeing me like that in labour as we aren't the kind of couple that pees with the door open, if that makes sense 😂, but it all kind of clicks into place, and you see eachother in a different way.
Hang in there mamma 🩷

Thank you all lovely ladies for your replies and support 🫶🏼 I truly appreciate you

I remember all of those things you’ve listed above! I’d waited so long to be pregnant yet found it so unbearable in mainly the first trimester. Best way to describe my first trimester is I turned into a zombie. I remember having no interest in anything I would just lie on my bed staring at the walls, I had no motivation, lost 10lb through severe sickness and was so depressed/anxious.

It does get easier and in the end it’s all worth it. I have a wild 19 month old now and actually really miss my pregnancy xx

First trimester is brutal for many !!! Everything you have described is all very very normal and hopefully your mental health will return to normal in the 2nd trimester, think of the first trimester as really bad PMT!
The other symptoms will hopefully ease in the 2nd trimester too,...the tiredness will come in waves ...

Youre doing well! Hang in there ❤️
