I love my son dearly but honestly did not enjoy anything about being pregnant or childbirth and I barely enjoyed much at all from his first year. I felt like I had completely lost myself. I don’t feel like that any longer. He’s now 2 and I couldn’t be happier. New mums – if you’re finding it a lot it gets a lot easier I promise. It’s okay, and normal, to love your child beyond belief but find the process of giving them life exhausting.
