Dear Mummmy Ho,
Good to hear from you again. Sigh I can understand why you considered having an abortion, I totally thought of heading to the hospital during one of those days as well. It's not that we are evil or we do not want to have this child, but it is really a torturous and horrendous period of time to go through. It was so bad for me that I kept crying every night and regretted getting pregnant. Even looking at other happy mummies made me very upset and sick. I kept wondering what was wrong with me or my child?? Even thinking about it now gives me nightmares and I cannot brace myself to think of going through that period of time again with a 2nd pregnancy.
Like you, alot of mothers tell me to consider having another child because 1 will be very lonely. I am not thinking of it at the moment, it will probably take a while to get over this. I think we should focus on getting through this pregnancy first. Some of the other mummies like Sookie+ Hippo who vomited alot too and have past experiences also advises to not think too far ahead at the moment. Jia you jia you!
Things will get better progressively for you. I'm much better already, appetite has improved, and things are looking up. I'm trying to enjoy my time now before 3rd trimester and other mummies say we will start to get tired and be less physically mobile.
Actually, a lot of other mothers go through alot of pain and discomfort in their pregnancies but some how, not many people talk about it unless you ask them. Sigh. It's really true that mothers are very noble.
You take care, I think we are past the worst already. So the next few weeks will be more enjoyable. Hugs to you!
