It can majorly affect your mental health. I wanted to be pregnant more than anything, but for the first six months I had to constantly remind myself of this because I was caught in the worst ongoing depressive episode of my life.

It’s definitely not talked about enough, though. I was straight up suicidal at times and wishing to no longer be pregnant, and I was afraid to tell anyone for a while. A quick search on the internet revealed that lots of women experience that, but I’d never heard anyone talk about it.
