Having a really rough time being pregnant.
I completely understand what a massive blessing it is by Allah swt. It was planned. I feel lucky.
It makes me feel really really horrible though. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. In every single way I feel horrendous. My other pregnancies were the same, I was hoping this would be easier as I now have young children to also look after.
Allah doesn’t burden our souls with more than it can bear. I know that and believe it wholeheartedly.
But why am I having such a hard time being grateful :( I’m hating this phase so much and it feels so unfair. I feel bad for feeling this way, it’s really upsetting.
I also can’t find much online about support during pregnancy from an Islamic lens. I feel this kind of hardship is the time for those solid reminders (that help you get through bereavement, etc) becuase it’s faith that really pulls you through these hard moments.
If anyone can share anything helpful or in support, I’d be really grateful.
