This time last year. A few weeks pregnant. Feeling awful. So sick all day. I look at this photo (one of the very few from this time) and can still recall it all. Trying to keep going and look after two kids in the heat of a Spanish summer. Throwing up many many times a day🤢🤢🤢 . Of course, that experience gave me the most beautiful baby and for that I am immensely grateful. I don’t take it for granted. But, motherhood is hard in many ways too and sometimes it’s important to remember the sacrifices. And to remind anyone who is having a tough time that all phases do pass. Even if the memories linger. We just emerge in a slightly different form. I learnt humility and empathy from feeling so terrible and deeper appreciation for when my health is good. . Anyone else have memories of their morning sickness come flooding back from a place, smell, annual event or photo?? Or is it just me? 🥴 . . . #pregnancy #1sttrimester #1sttrimesterproblems #firsttrimester #firsttrimesterproblems #morningsickness #morningsicknesslastsallday #pregnancysickness #pregnancysicknesssupport #hyperemesisgravidarum #perspective #thistooshallpass #earlypregnancy #pregnancy #throwback #lessons #motherhood #lessonsofmotherhood #mumlessons #mumlife #mumtothree
