Yeah.... Nah. I certainly did NOT have that blessedlife I saw so much on social media! It was terrible! And especially when you're not showing. People brush off your tiredness or drowsiness as nothing... but it's really the first trimester where you suffer more! (In my experience)
Then you also feel super guilty for not feeling lucky and blessed to be pregnant. I know some women keep their pregnancy secret until 12 weeks, and it would suck because you don't even have someone to complain how you woke up covered in sweat and you couldn't go back to sleep, or how you threw up non-stop! Morning sickness.... is an all-day sickness...
They say it takes a village to raise a kid, but what if you don't have a village? In our current world with digital isolation, and me being a bit of an introvert... I relied on internet stories of parents for support. So I'm now giving back in a humorous form!
I want to talk about the ugly side as well as the good. I hope this comic will validate fellow parents, and also give insight to parenting to people who don't have kids! I hope it makes you laugh, but at the same time makes you feel like you're not alone.
It's set in NZ so some medical information and government information may differ. Also it's in UK English!
This is my personal diary of pregnancy and parenthood, so please be aware that every pregnancy is different and may not be same as mine.
