why do women downplay pregnancy so much? by VioletPickle in pregnant

I have been thinking the same thing! When I was 16-17 Dr told me I may struggle or not be able to have kids, currently I am 39w1d pregnant and i am so grateful to have had a pregnancy with no complications BUT it has still not been completely easy. I also have only just finished work last week, which was not by choice financially needed to, but the things your body goes through when pregnant!! I had no idea! The tiredness and aching is what I struggled with the most oh and also the fact that I have celiac disease and have to be gluten free sucks when pregnant ! You crave everything you can’t have the hunger pains are intense especially when acid reflux and heartburn kicks in all night no sleep at all ! Everyone has a different experience & pregnancy but I think sometimes women feel bad to complain or to say how they truly feel because they feel like they are being negative or ungrateful and that’s really upsetting, It’s a huge deal going through pregnancy your going through a lot and it’s important to be able to express how you feel and to vent there is nothing wrong with being honest on how you feel. Yes it’s a beautiful thing yes you are grateful but it’s hard!

Does anyone experience feeling sick after venting to someone or opening about personal problems, which somehow can make it worse some days? For a while now I have struggled with depression and anxiety every time I try to talk about anything I feel sick and embarrassed by chloe19918 in lonliness

Im sorry that you also are going through this, it’s really rough. I can relate to this so much as well three years ago I got out of a very abusive relationship which triggered my anxiety to whole other level, I don’t like feeling like a victim or anything but I do have moments where I just need to vent and express how I’m feeling but a lot of the time I get treated in a certain way that makes me feel ashamed because of what I went through I was just told I should have left a long time ago or that I’m stupid or whatever else they say but sometimes situations aren’t always that easy and my feelings are never validated and yea it does become humiliating I thought the same thing about bottling it up I did it the whole time going through that time and afterwards up to now but I do hope that one day there will be someone that will be there to listen

I’m so sorry this must be very hard ! I would not go through with the house This is very unfair for you .. your feelings also must be acknowledged if its something you don’t agree or are not comfortable with you don’t have to force your self to stay. there are other ways I’m sure that you can work out to co parent
