unmotivated

I’m 34 weeks pregnant and it’s my first pregnancy. i took the whole month of December off from work to “rest” at home but the more I’m home, the more it ~kills~ me. About 2 weeks back I found out my husband cheated. Has been cheating on me since he found we were pregnant. Main reason is because he was childish and has to constantly seek validation from this girl he calls “friend”. Their conversations were mostly about backstabbing me and other times it’s just lewd conversations. He’s met her many times and I guess, it’s just a “friend” he never got over. I carried my baby alone since day 1. We live on our own and if I want to feel loved, I’d go over to my mom’s cos she’d feed me food non stop while my husband don’t. Any cravings I had, I drove out and got them myself. It was honestly difficult. I confronted him and his family over the cheating incident but it turned out to be a whole conversation of blaming me and my incapabilities while being pregnant. I made the decision to stay away from toxic in laws since then. I’m not sure if I’ve forgiven my husband but how do you live with a cheater? I haven’t been eating well because all I do is wake up to go to bed. I know, it’s probably depression and my kid is currently really small which alarms my gynae but all I’m thinking of is, how do I give birth with no one supporting me? I can’t have my husband there because it’s so hard to steer away from the thoughts that he has cheated. I don’t know what else to do and I’m just very, lonely, and I can’t be going back to my mom’s everyday because she keeps telling me I belong next to my husband despite whatever’s happened. I have no more motivation to live and I’m not sure if this baby is my motivation but I’m really just unmotivated these days not knowing what to do. #1stimemom #advicepls #bantusharing #pregnancy

Hey, if you needed to vent or rant over any thing, do post here as it goes to show there are still bunch of mummies here who are concerned about your situation. Since your little one is here, do keep yourself occupied with your little bundle of joy. Your child will truly love you for being a strong mummy. Seeing them growing happy and healthy each day is a motivation and achievement. You will definitely come out of this as a better stronger person. What doesn’t kills you makes you stronger. Focus on the good things in life, like your mum and your child. I believe in a way or another, all mummies have their challenges in life, that’s why we needed the support that we can gather to get us going. You are doing great 👍🏻, hugs to you and hold on tight. Just remember that there’s a whole village of mummies here supporting your back. 😉
