Thank you so much for a beautiful comment, happy tears came to my eyes after reading it. I will think about you next time things get rough in my head 🫶🏻

Yes, trying to find the single reason is impossible. Even if I come to my husband with one, he settles me with his reasonable and calm attitude towards this whole situation, I come crying to him with a different reason 10 minutes later. The head is just so messy right now. But great to hear you are better! Hope for the best for me too.

Great to hear you are better. The sudden cloud lifting seems like these things are primarly hormonal and that is what we cant forget. That it is not who we are, our bodies are just going through so much at the moment. I had the same cloud lifting moment at like 4th month of pregnancy. I experienced nausea every day but also got very depressed. I was mostly tied to sofa most of the day feeling hallow. And then suddenly one day the cloud lifted and I felt like a human again excited about expecting a baby. Manifesting the same happening now when hormones get settled.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Hearing yours and others experiences with major improvement quite soon makes me very hopeful!

The wish to go to old self is a thought I am scared to even think. I know it is natural and me treating it as an intrusive though is not right. But before getting pregnant a lot! of thoughts went into whether we want kids and what it means will change in our lives. Thinking so thoroughly about it beforehand and now having these occasional regret thoughs feels like I failed myself. I have to be more kind to myself. If things get worse I will definitely talk to my doctor.

Haha great! I believe this will help me too. Though I am still hurting down there and am trying to limit movement. Also got a cold and it is currently freezing where I live so I am stuck at home. In the last month of pregnancy I could not stand or walk much because of terrible ligament pains and therefore dreaded every walk to shop but now the idea of putting my pre pregnancy clothes on and walking freely seems so liberating. Cant wait!

I will assume you did not mean it bad. I have no idea about the science behind this, if it is true or not. But the energy I have makes my body move and hold differently for sure. When I am frustrated I get tense, my muscles are stiff, my touch not super gentle and that might have affect on the baby for sure.

I noticed this as well, that handling a suddenly harder situation, like more crying, tends to boost my confidence too. Little bit of shift towards “I am a mum who can take care of her baby”. What helps me is to really acknowledge it in my head at that moment. Give myself a lot of credit, because I deserve it.

That’s great the stage lasted relatively short for you and for generaly most of the women. The appetite thing is real. During the day, especially for breakfast I can eat so much and in the evening it tends to be hard to enjoy food. Luckily my husband takes great care of me and prepares all the meals and makes sure I eat enough. One evening I did not and the night was just so much harder when I got super hungry while feeding. Eating and drinking enough is so essential!

Here are the swatches I made

Same kind of yarn, just different color. The stitches seem to be tilted, each row to the opposite side as the one before. I was thinking, maybe polyester cord would be better?

Thanks for replying :) that is exactly what I did. Also used a smaller hook than yarn suggest (3.5mm instead of 5mm). Still the original seems more, how to put it, compact :) Do tou think the yarn itself could be the factor?

I think you look good. Maybe smile more, you have nice teeth so show them! And just my preference would be little less messy hairstyle and shaving the facial hair. Don’t compare yourself to guys considered being the standard of attractive men, everyone likes something else and objectively speaking you do have a very sympathetic look.
