“Pregnancy is not a disease”.
I used to say this a lot before I got pregnant, but what I didn’t knew then is that your mind and body is put under such a big pressure, that it might make you sick.
And I’m not saying this to complain. And everyone’s pregnancy is different.
But for a lot it’s not just cute bump pics and sweet waiting time.
This was my not so perfect view this morning;
Blue marks on my stomach and thigh from the medicine I have to take. My compression stocking I have to wear every day. My breastfeeding pillow that I’ve started to sleep with between my legs to ease some of my back pain and finally get some quality sleep.
And these are just the physical signs. Mentally I’m struggling too. But I refuse to be embarrassed about it.
No, pregnancy is not a disease. But it’s not perfect either. 💜![]()
