My own period being late and a bit of a panic around this has brought up for me what a difficult time early pregnancy can be. You're supposed to feel overjoyed and grateful but can barely function with so many knock on effects to your mental health . Is this you? It's made me remember how much I've wanted to work with women and pregnant people struggling with this in the past. Oh and when I say the 'only things I was doing were working and being with my daughter' what I should have really explained is that the only way I could hang out with her was to either have a bath together, get in bed and read her books lying down, lie on the sofa while she watched TV and take naps together. I basically spent 3.5-4 months this way.
