Mom Guilt

babywalden2025

Hi all…
I am struggling with hefty mom guilt. 

This is my second pregnancy. The first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, so I was/am so excited to be pregnant again and that it’s sticking so far. 

However…I am miserable. I am in constant discomfort. I cannot function in my day to day life because my morning sickness is debilitating. And due to this…I really am hating the experience right now. 

I love my baby. 

I love that they are growing. 

I hate how sick I feel. 

I hate that I can’t do anything becuase I get motion sickness from walking. 

So I’m just feeling guilty…

I think its ok and totally normal to have all of the above feelings. Im with you on disliking pregnancy. This is my 3rd pregnancy and morning sickness sucks just as much or worse every time. I feel like it hasn’t sunk in that im actually pregnant and im just miserable. Im almost to 11weeks and last night and today ive been pretty much ok all day. There is hope for brighter/easier days. Unisom and B6 have been a big help this time so it’s something to try. Ive still been sick but not as sick. I really hope you dont have hyperemesis gravidum (sp?) but if its really bad definitely seek help.

I seen my Naturopath last week for nausea and sickness concerns; they suggested eating right before bed and first thing (like, still in bed) in the morning. So far, it’s helping me!
