“What emotions are you feeling to best describe of your pregnancy”
The pressure of carrying a healthy baby and remaining positive for my sake and his own can be fairly overwhelming at times. Though everyday I’m filled with so much gratitude but also an unspoken (until now) fear as this is pregnancy after past loses. I spend everyday preparing my mind for the challenges of motherhood however my greatest worry is not having my son but losing him. Despite all that I feel grateful, I feel powerful and I feel privileged to be able to experience the one thing I want most in my life just when I was letting go of the idea of having it. I still feel content and have faith that everything will be okay. I feel healed, soft, warm and happy just at the thought of my son growing bigger everyday. I feel peace that I’m able to feel his little wiggles, that I’m able to protect him and keep him safe, sound and snug close to my heart. My pregnancy has reminded me to slow down and to take in the present, to keep myself aligned and grounded because it’s not everyday a miracle of these proportions will take place right here within me and right before my eyes.

“Any message for your son when he’s born?”
I prmise to protect him, to prioritise him and to always work on being the best version of myself so that I can always show up and in turn be the best version of myself for him. That as long as I have anything to do with it, I’ll never leave him and I’ll always make him proud.

“What would you say to your son in 5 years?”
I reckon in 5 years (‘til forever) I’ll still be a sobbing mess at every milestone he makes. I’ll be so filled with pride in everything he’s achieved and I’ll tell him just how much I love him everyday and make sure he feels it. I’ll ensure he always knows he’s the centre of my universe and just how wanted he has always been.
