I’m currently pregnant and basically bedridden because I’m so sick and severely hurt my back sneezing a couple weeks ago. My 4yo comes up to me and says “Mommy, I just want to cut that baby out so you can feel better! Baby! Stop making my mommy sick!” Super cute, but also kinda wtf lmao.

Omg I'm sorry to hear that. How far along are you, may I ask? I'm 6w+3 with our first, and hoping for that sweet sweet reprieve I hear is waiting at the second trimester haha. I've been so crampy and uncomfortable for the past several days that's it's been hard for me to even want to walk around much. Not to mention the weird smells, nausea, exhaustion, and lack of motivation that is definitely playing with my already bad executive dysfunction.

Hoping you get some comfort and ease soon <3

I’m 12+4. The first trimester has been horrendous for me this pregnancy. I didn’t find out I was pregnant until the second trimester for my other pregnancies. Good lick! I hope the 2nd and 3rd are easier for you!

Word of advice: Don’t listen to anyone’s advice about raising your kid lol. Everyone will tell you different things and most of it will be contradictory to the last thing someone said.

Thank you!! Yeah, it has been overwhelming as I've been deep-diving parenting blogs, trying to get prepared. There's so much advice out there that it's got me like this: 👁️👄👁️

I reckon we'll just do it live and try to be as loving and respectful of the person they turn out to be as we can. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me

That’s really all you can do. There’s no one answer to raising a child because no child is the same. And tbh I stayed away from the parenting blogs because they always made me feel less than even before I gave birth. You’re not going to get everything right on the first try.
