How could I forget?

I forgot what this was all like.⠀

The restless nights.⠀

The ravenous cravings.⠀

The regular loo trips.⠀

The exhaustion, the complete and utter exhaustion.⠀

The crazy hormones.⠀

The waves of nausea.⠀

The bloat.⠀

The sugar hangovers.⠀


How did I forget?⠀

The gag triggers.⠀

The wine cravings.⠀

The shrinking clothes.⠀

The hot flushes.⠀

The bump photos.⠀

The scans.⠀

The gender predictions.⠀

The weekly fruit.⠀

How could I forget?⠀

Seeing the movements on screen.⠀

Hearing the heartbeat.⠀

Watching my tummy grow.⠀

Feeling life inside of me.⠀

The excitement.⠀

The anticipation.⠀

The relief.⠀

The love.⠀

I know why. ⠀
I forgot when I fell in love with the life I made the first time round.⠀
Now I’m ready to forget all over again.
