You’ll forget all about it when the baby come

The chestnut just came from my mum who has barely spoken to me this pregnancy as I’ve not been super positive and gushing about how amazing it is.

I’m 38 weeks and STILL being sick. Barely controlling my sickness with meds, been in hospital, used all my sick and PTO and dragged myself through work until week 35 when I just couldn’t anymore.

I just want to scream ‘No I will not just forget about this’. I swear I have such bad PTSD and major anxiety around all food and drinks now, which I can’t imagine is just gunna go away.

How do you deal with this? I don’t want to be all like cry my a river I’m such a victim, but at the same time this has been the worst 9 months of my life. It’s just so invalidating and dismissive for people to imply that all of this just goes away the second bub arrives. Or am I crazy? Do you just forget??
