it makes me very happy to read how happy you are. Please don't ever feel bad for being happy! Being happy is one of the most precious feelings you can have. There were times were i wasn't happy and i felt sad. But similar to you my life has changed in the last few years.
I have found a partner which is, for the first time, my equal. A very healthy and wonderful relationship. Exactly one year ago we found out that i was pregnant. Very unplanned but definitely not unwanted.
In the beginning I was very scared to be honest. But over time and realizing that a real human life was growing inside of me, the fear turned into so much joy. Most people i talked to during that time were afraid of giving birth, but for some reason i was just excited and looking forward to it. I think its one of the most profound things you can experience, so why not enjoy and give yourself to it completely. And even though i had gestational diabetes which made me miserable, i was still fucking happy all the time.
So maybe you are right and its the hormones. But i can tell you from what i experienced so far, the fucking happy feeling didnt go away after giving birth. Its been four months now, and im pretty sure that all the pregnancy hormones left my body - thanks for the hairloss my dear hormones. And it really is so fucking hard to be a parent. But in the grand scheme of things that doesnt matter. I made a whole human. Sometimes i cant even believe it. Whenever i feel stressed, bad or overwhelmed and i see this tiny human staring in my eyes because im their whole world, every bad emotion is replaced with so much love and joy. A few times a little happy tear found its way down my cheek as well.
Having an amazing partner also definitely helps with being happy and making parenting actual fun. I was very afraid what would happen to us as a couple after giving birth. I heard so many times that with a baby it will be so hard and a lot of couples start fighting. Im very proud to say me and my partner are so in tune with each other, that we never had an argument yet. We will so what the future has in store for us.
Sorry about this very long and probably super dumb comment. After reading your post I just felt very inspired to share my experience with you. Coming back to the topic. I feel bad for people who are not happy, because i found out that being happy is the best fucking thing ever.
I wish you all the best and hope you will be happy for eternity ❤️
Wow! I don't know who you are (do we know each other?!) but holy cow, I appreciate you for your comment! It was wonderful to wake up and read this 😍 Pretty much exactly what I needed to hear, after the night before telling my partner some of my fears around having a baby. I don't think your comment is dumb at all - I think sharing our honest experiences with each other is one of the most powerful things we can do. Thank you. It's so encouraging to hear your story. Thanks a million for reading, and for your supportive words. Wishing you all the best as well ❤️ I'm so happy to hear that you found joy in motherhood, and in your relationship, too 🥹
