What was your pregnancy and post-pregnancy experience like?

r/

Hello everyone. I definitely want to have kids one day, but I have some health issues that would likely be difficult during pregnancy and post-pregnancy. It’s most likely very possible for me to get pregnant and get through pregnancies successfully, just might be a bit extra difficult for me health-wise and there’s a good chance I’ll have issues with fertility too.

I know I can adopt and foster and just not do pregnancy, and I definitely want to do that one day even if I do decide to have with a pregnancy also, but I just feel so sad whenever I imagine not being able to have children from a pregnancy. It feels like I’d be missing out on the experience that I want so much, if you get what I mean.

So I wanted to ask. What was your experience of being pregnant like, and what was your experience post-pregnancy like? What did it feel like emotionally? Did it just feel “right” or “connecting” for you, and did it feel special for you? Sorry if my post is a little confusing, I hope it’s not unclear or anything. Thanks so much for reading through and for any responses.
