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.
