I feel this weird pressure to get loads done before the baby comes, but also my body is like NOT TODAY LOVE, and I get exhausted from the simplest of tasks. I'm trying really hard to embrace every last moment of pregnancy and my bump. But at every moment I'm like... MAYBE IT'S HAPPENING NOW. I'm excited but then get these moments of nerves at what's awaiting me. Like, childbirth... Getting to grips with a baby. Wondering what he'll be like! Good nerves, but nerves nonetheless. I've been thinking a lot about the negativity that seems to exist around becoming a mum, and I wonder why it does. Like, I'm guilty of saying even a year ago how I wasn't ready for kids because "I wasn't ready to give my life up". And then lots have people have told me, in the most well meaning way I'm sure, to "enjoy my last few weeks of freedom" as if I'm about to enter into a prison sentence. Why is there this weird and probably old fashioned sentiment that we give up our lives after childbirth? I know tons of mums (and dads) who've not lost their identities, still pursue hobbies and interests, and still go on to achieve awesome things. Like remember when Cardi B announced she was pregnant and there was so much talk that she'd ruined her career at the moment of success and she had to clap back and be like... I'm still going to be a success. This year's she's proved that. I feel like we need to leave this whole 'giving up our lives' narrative in the past. I mean, I'm guilty of it too... It's what I was most afraid of when I found out I was pregnant. But actually the best parents are the happiest ones, I think it's so important to keep other things in our lives. Now I'm like, yes life will change, priorities will change, but I can't wait to bring this baby into my life as the adventures and career successes continue. I'm going to have to get him some of those baby headphones so he can come to watch me DJ at festivals. 🤣👶🏼🎶 Here's to babies enhancing our lives, not ruining them. ✌️ #thirdtrimester #pregnancythoughts」12月12日 19時37分
