Been so absent on here but being a momma is fully taking it outta me. I barely have time to pee let alone anything else!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas! I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting or reblogging.

I gave birth to my little girl on the 25th November at 23:38pm. I was induced at 37 weeks due to her not growing and she entered the world weighing only 5lbs 3oz. It was a pretty traumatic experience all in all as I ended up with a c section under general anaesthetic.

Having a newborn when you have EDS has been a definite learning curve! I’m exhausted in a way that I never knew, but she is so worth it.

She is 5 weeks old today and I’ve never been so in love.

Me: sorry my shoulders are so weak cause they’re constantly dislocated.

Normal person: …there’s no way they could be dislocated all the time, you’d be screa-

Me: *shows my shoulders*

Normal person:

Everyone says how hard being in your third trimester is - only most people aren’t also chronically ill too.

Jesus Christ I am exhausted/ sore/ uncomfortable.

I feel like the bath is where i am spending more of my time recently!

7 weeks to go though

Happy Monday!

Sending you lots of spoons and love

Just a reminder

Do not apologise for listening to your body.

You take that nap.

You cancel those plans if you don’t feel well enough to go.

Self care is so important!

Second trimester got me feeling good though ☺️

~ 18 weeks ~I can’t quite believe I’m almost half way through!

Had an amazing day today catching up with friends but very tired now

So I got an IPhone 11 and I am in love with the camera

So we had our gender scan yesterday!!

We are having a little lady

How is it Monday tomorrow though

Pregnancy and EDS is weird.

It’s like is this back/hip pain because of the baby? Or is it just my normal reasons?

Am I having a flare or is this baby.

Am I suffering with morning sickness or is this just my gastro problems playing up (it was definitely morning sickness)

I feel huge already!

So there’s a reason why I haven’t been posting as much on here lately ☺️

We have our own little miracle due 10.12.20

Me waking up: Today’s going to be a good day!

*hip dislocates*

Me:….fuck

I was actually kinda thankful for my shit joints yesterday. I slipped and fell half way down the stairs.

I managed to grab the railing with both hands and kinda slowed myself down. I realised in that moment that if it hadn’t have been for my shoulders being able to dislocate and move into a unnatural position i would have slammed into the floor and hurt myself more than I did.

Love it when I lean on my elbow and the whole of my arm then goes numb for the next hour

Apologies for not posting recently. I’ve had so much going on.

Hope yall are good!

Hate it when you’ve been running completely on empty and then you just crash.

It’s like sorry let me just press pause and sleep for 24hrs.
