Everyone is loving this mum's honest post about her pregnancy
Pregnancy is a wonderful, joyful time for every mum, right? Wrong.
While all mums-to-be may be delighted at the prospect of meeting their baby, not all are as equally as enamoured at the actually pregnancy part.
In fact, for some soon-to-be-mums, the entire nine months can be full of bad skin, morning sickness and worry.
Which is why blogger Rhiannon Abrahams' latest post is being applauded by women everywhere.
The Australian took to Instagram to share two pictures of her at 16 and 26 weeks, and admit that she has not been having an easy time of it.
“Honestly I don't 'love' being pregnant, all I want to say is ‘oh I love it it's so beautiful!’“ she wrote.
“But it just doesn't feel that way (please don't get me wrong, I feel so grateful and blessed I can get pregnant) and I want nothing more than to love it, but I just don't.
“I don't like the changes, the hormones, the pain, not feeling as independent."
Admitting to feeling afraid to say anything, she continued:
“If you are feeling this way, you are not alone, it's just not spoken about as much and all I'm doing now is sharing with you honestly about how I feel so hopefully other mums feel normal too”.
And the mum has received nothing but positive praise, with many relating to her post.
"Thank you for sharing, you're not alone in feeling this way," she wrote. "As beautiful as the result is the journey isn't necessarily as beautiful."
