To think almost 5 months ago I had no clue of your existence and now we’ve reached the 9 month goal and you can arrive anytime now 👶🏼Pregnancy is the most challenging thing I’ve ever experienced in my whole life, physically and mentally. Most of the accounts I follow on social media just post the up’s of pregnancy and never the down’s but I’m all for honesty so here it is....
As a lot of you know I skipped the whole first trimester due to not finding out about my little one till I was half way through my pregnancy which in some ways was nice as I was lucky to avoid some of the not so nice symptoms like morning sickness, but in other ways it’s been hard as I’ve not had long at all to adjust to the whole idea of becoming a Mum, especially when I was told I’d never have kids and was expecting life changing surgery due to my illness. A couple of weeks after finding out my bump appeared as from nowhere, and has obviously gotten bigger week by week. Don’t get me wrong, the changes your body goes through to grow another person is absolutely incredibly and I LOVE my bump to pieces so much that I’m not looking forward to it going. However the other changes made to your body, such as your breasts, swelling, puffy face etc, it’s very very hard to adjust to, especially after modelling made me finally feel so comfortable in my own skin after years of hating my appearance. I’ll be honest, I’ve not been worried about the labour at all, but everything else that follows afterwards, the unknown, that scares me the most which has been hard to deal with alongside my mental health making it worse. That being said I can’t wait to finally meet her because I never knew a love this strong existed till now 💜
