I can’t imagine the pain of losing your mum! Specially having to go through being pregnant and being a mum when the one person you need isnt there. Your feelings are completely valid. Just know she will always be by your side ❤️
It’s so hard especially seeing everyone around you have their mom at the birth, post partum etc. (My mom died when I was 20, 34 now and have a one year old about to have baby #2) Try leaning on others around you like a partner and friends. You’ll meet so many amazing women on maternity leave, it’s important to have that community especially when you don’t have family
I'm still in journey of healing , pregnancy did open old wounds that I forget about . Yaa hopefully I will meet amazing women while I'm in maternity leave.
My mum died when I was 8 weeks pregnant I feel awful I haven’t had time to enjoy my current pregnancy and I feel guilty that my children aren’t getting the best of me. I also feel so alone, I cry so much but remind myself I’m a mum now and my children need me as much as I need my mum. It gives me strength and comfort, it’s normal to want your mum especially when you are a mother yourself.
@Alice thank for sharing 🤍 I hope all of us stay strong ❤️
Your feelings are valid Rahma. You’ll have combination of joy, sadness, grief and excitement. I’m sure your mum would be super proud & happy for you My mother has also now passed and I’m expecting my first child.
Thank you Lou and thank you for sharing , bless you❤️ stay strong darling
When having a baby you crave your mum I did too but just know the feeling is temporary. I got a y year old and pregnant again but when I had my first I craved my mum and she was only an hour away but I was still upset that she wasn't closer! Having a baby foes get lonely but really push yourself to get out to baby groups parks set a routine for you and baby weather it's excercise goals or social gatherings with other mums. Next thing you know they're at school and you will be working how you used to be slowly having your life back again but also working around your child. Enjoy it they get big quick
