Finding out I was pregnant… felt like the worst day of my life.
And I say this gently, because I know so many women are praying for those two lines 🤍
I remember coming home from the pharmacy after missing my period for a few days…
holding that test in my hand, sitting in the bathroom, just staring at it.
When the lines showed up, I didn’t feel joy.
I felt my chest tighten.
I don’t even remember if I told my husband right away…
I think I just sat there, trying to process what I was feeling.
Because it wasn’t about not wanting a baby.
It was everything from my previous births rushing back.
Two C-sections I never healed from.
Fear I never processed.
I cried. I resisted.
I even said, “I don’t want to keep the baby.”
Not because of my baby…
but because I was terrified of going through that pain again.
This is what unresolved birth trauma can do.
It doesn’t stay in the past, it follows you.
Healing matters… not just for birth, but for how you experience pregnancy and motherhood too.
If you’ve felt this, you’re not alone 🤍
