I’m currently scrolling through baby photos of my daughter while she’s at school. I’m a mess with tears rolling down my face. How were these pictures taken 2, 3, 4 years ago? How?
We have one daughter who is almost 5. I always just assumed I’d end up having two children, relatively close in age. Maybe a couple years apart?
I experienced intense birth trauma from the L&D experience (which I cannot get into in this post) AND had almost 3rd degree tearing. She was just over 6 months old when the pandemic hit. I experienced intense anxiety over COVID for a very long time. It was not at all how I pictured any of it to be.
Fast forward. I have had the rockiest relationship with my husband for 3 years. I want to have another child but how can I when I’m in a relationship like this? Even if our relationship were to all of a sudden feel like the “old days” tomorrow for example, that’s still not enough for me to feel like I can go ahead and plan to be pregnant. Like there needs to be stability. I don’t know if this is making sense.
My daughter has recently been talking about being a big sister and I know they all do but it’s been making me feel so sad. I have intense baby fever, I feel like everyone around me is having kids and I’m not getting any younger either which makes me nervous.
