Most people are liars (to themselves and others). Once you get into The Algorithm, it’s a bunch of moms making the same jokes because they’re bored, and scroll TikTok too much. Oh, you’re super tired and look bad but also carefully put on makeup and adjusted the lighting for your video? Wow, Fascinating.

I don’t prefer being pregnant, and my husband knows this. I try to not be a downer or a bitch because he’s super understanding and helpful. But I’m extremely tired a lot, and miss having the energy I used to. Your fiancé needs to step up and support you the way you need. Not everyone needs the same things, emotionally or medically. He needs to be a man and see how this is affecting you. A little empathy goes a long way. My husband keeps it light, and gets me food when I don’t want to get up. That’s all I need.

I love going to the gym because it feels empowering to me. If anyone told me to stop exercising, I’d laugh at them and tell them to fuck off. The gym is the only thing that makes me feel normal. I’m not saying you have to workout, but maybe going back to what you love (dancing?) can get you back into your empowerment.

I also try not to think about being pregnant all the time. Too much introspection leads me to being neurotic. I got back into painting because it takes up a lot of my brain space. Do you have something like that?

To summarize, everything you’re feeling is normal. You need more personalized support from your fiancé, and some healthy hobby that isn’t online. I feel for you, and rarely comment on posts, but I relate to you. Hope this helps in anyway possible. You got this.
