how hard it is afterwards, like leaving the house, etc.
But for me, I just had such a revisit of all my trauma.
So just for context, I had cancer when I was younger and a lot of medical misogyny I experienced and a lot of gaslighting of symptoms and also just a lot of throwing up and being unwell and being confined to bed.
And so that's pretty much exact like cancer and pregnancy were really strangely aligned in my brain and my body.
And so I think my body just like went back to this place.
I ended up speaking to my mum about it.
And my mum and I have a good relationship now, but we didn't when I was younger because of how sick I was.
And sometimes you forget your parents were people.
It's so easy to forget.
And my mom said that when she was pregnant with me, she had a complex relationship with her father and she sat him down and she just said like all the things that he did to her that traumatized her as a child and a teenager.
And then she said, I forgive you.
And, you know, like my grandfather actually listened and he like took it on board and they worked out their relationship from there.
And I just like, I never knew my mum did that.
And I just thought that was such, that's kind of how pregnancy feels.
It's like everything comes to the surface and you don't know what to do with it.
