Hahahaha you are me

Also 26.5 weeks pregnant, I get aches randomly (both timing- and location-wise) enough that nothing is safe to avoid pain anymore, and am not looking forward to another 3 months of this. Plus recovery time after. Started having the feeling this week that I do not want this baby and do not want to be pregnant anymore, but we're so far along that there's really not a lot we could do at this point, so herrrre we go! :)

(In case anyone is worried about me: That thought was real but fleeting. I will not harm myself or baby and I'm sure we'll be very excited about her when she arrives!)

Haha, we want three, so I'm hoping I feel better after she's delivered! But as I get more aches I keep thinking about
1) our ancestors, who didn't have great birth control and so were constantly pregnant even if they didn't want to be, and
2) the women today who VOLUNTARILY choose to have like 5 or 8 or 13 kids

I feel so bad for the first and do not comprehend the second. Why. Why why why 😄

Best of luck to you and hang in there momma! Did you take Ritual prenatal during your pregnancy?

Nope. I don’t live in America so I don’t think we have ritual.
