19 weeks.

I have made it 19 whole weeks since my hysterectomy, this is the longest I have gone without pain in 5 years. I am in shock. I didn't have high hopes for this surgery, yet my expectations have been beyond exceeded.
Everyday is a struggle with some minor things. I have recently come out of my shock phase and moved onto the grieving phase of my recovery process. I find it weird that it took 4 months to get to this point. It seems as if all my friends/ people I know are pregnant. I find it very hard to stay silent and be a supportive person. I never expected to feel this way towards pregnant people, I feel almost ashamed of how I feel because I know that it is very selfish of me to feel this way. For some odd reason I wish I could feel a baby kick me, and feel what it is like to experience your body changing for a tiny life inside of you. At times I feel like a failure as a woman.
My body is experiencing weird things that I should not be experiencing at just 22 years old. Everyday is some new challenge, but I am learning to take it all in stride and day by day.

  1. please don't be ashamed of your feelings...it's perfectly normal to feel jealousy, anger and self-pity. I think we have to just ride through it because just like all of life's challenges, we can make it to the other side.

    You are an amazing woman uterus or no uterus. You will be an amazing mother too.

    Always here for you...
