    I’m having such a hard time enjoying my pregnancy because I’m so focused on the changes. And it makes me feel guilty as I don’t want my baby to feel that negativity and think it’s because of him 🥺 I don’t resent my baby, I just resent the way pregnancy has affected me. It makes me so sad that I can’t enjoy it like other moms do and I feel so selfish.

      I’m so sorry you’re going through that. While it’s certainly unpleasant, what you’re experiencing is very normal. I would just be gentle with yourself and know that many of these feelings will likely lift after you have your baby ♥️

    I’m on pregnancy number 2 binge watching your channel for the second time! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you. How do you not have millions of subscribers is beyond me. Thank you so much.

    Why does this only have 1k views? We all NEED to see this. I’m 33 weeks and feel so gross and ugly. I really do know that I’m not and my body is doing a great job at making this tiny human, but that’s not what my brain is telling me. Ugh.

      Aw thank you! So kind of you to say :-) and I’m really sorry you’re feeling so gross!! It’s such a bummer that so many of us feel that way during pregnancy. Sending lots of love! ♥️

    Im 10 weeks and completely unhinged.
    I hate being pregnant, i hate all the changes, im unhappy most days and just eant it to end
    Antenatal depression is real, it upsets me we live in a culture that doesnt allow us to speak up like this and just accept the situation we are in.
    No on told me it would be this hard, sad thing is- my life is amazing, just got married and my husband is incredible.
    I have lupus and itp and am very high risk. Its all just too much
    Ive already been told 3 times i could be having a misscarriage.
    I just wish i knew great councellors as its covered under my benefits
    This video helped more then you know.
    Thank you for letting woman know its okay to feel all emotio s

    I have days where I feel Feminine, beautiful, and sexy while other days I feel huge, swollen and unattractive. I worked really hard to be fit and have abs most of my life and I tell myself everyday that I will get my body back as long as I put in the work and have patience. This is a very hard time but I try to find one thing I love about this experience each day to help shift my thoughts 💝 pregnancy is beautiful but it's okay to not always feel this way.

      So sorry to hear you’re feeling that way. It can definitely be tough to deal with all the transitions the body goes through pregnancy.
