There’s a movement going on with posting “the real” about pregnancy & motherhood. I get it. It helps to be informed. It helps to know that you’re not alone & other women out there are struggling with what you’re struggling with.
At the same time, I feel so overwhelmed with the real some times. Is all the real something negative? Where are the real positives?
Listen, pregnancy & being a mom were not something I grew up thinking I’d do. It wasn’t a priority for me. I was fine going through life on my own. Until I met & loved my now husband, everything changed. I knew a different kind of love. I believe in longevity. And I wanted a family.
Also, I’ve worked in some level of healthcare most of my life. I’m certified to deliver a baby in the field if it ever came to that. I know the health side of it. I know what’s coming. I don’t know what it all feels like yet but I know what to expect. So, again, where are the positives? Lol
I’d like to find perfectly curated “I’m happy” and “everything was worth it because of this” information. Give me some fluff. Give me the “only posting the ups.” Give me the light at the end of the tunnel or at least the windows along the way.
No one talks about the joy anymore?
There’s joy, right?! RIGHT?
