BRAIN DUMP | THRUSH, CORONAVIRUS, AND MOTHER'S DAY

I feel guilty everytime I moan about pregnancy but this is my first, and I am finding it HARD.

I'm on my third(?) bout of thrush which has reduced me to tears. I never suffered with it before I was pregnant but it is taking its toll on me now.

I've never used a tampon, so shoving pessaries and creams up my vagina was quite the experience. I cried trying to put the pessary in - I've had bigger inside me (hello, I'm pregnant ffs) yet those little tablets put up a fight.

I gave up with the pessaries in the end and continued using the external cream, cleared up for a week, then returned with a vengeance. Oh, the joys. 

If thrush wasn't bad enough, I've been social distancing for six days and I'm slowly going mad. I spent mothers day away from my Mum which really played havoc with my hormones. Luckily, we live in the 21st century with video calls. It's not the same but hey, guess it will have to do for now. 

I just want little one to be safe and healthy. What a time to bring a baby into the world, ey?

Sigh.
