Morning doesn't arrive gently for me. Instead, it hits with a sudden wave of nausea, a heavy feeling settling over me before the sun has even fully risen. My pillow offers no comfort — I feel dizzy and weak, lying still in bed, trapped in quiet discomfort.
Even simple smells, like toast or coffee brewing nearby, suddenly feel unbearable, like a storm building inside me. I clench my jaw, trying to fight back the nausea rising in my throat, with nowhere to escape, feeling like I'm adrift on a rocking boat.
It's a kind of pain that leaves no visible mark — an invisible struggle happening even in bright daylight. Simple things like breathing and moving feel difficult, and morning feels just as hard as the darkest night. The bathroom sink becomes a small safe place, offering cool relief against my warm face, while my body feels shaky, exhausted, and too sick to even speak.
They call it "morning sickness," but it doesn't stay in the morning — it can last all day and into the night, like a shadow hanging over new blooming flowers, a constant struggle just to get through the day. A small cracker becomes something I hope desperately will stay down, while deep inside, something precious and new is quietly growing — a new life forming through this difficult experience.
It's a strange and meaningful kind of hardship — carrying a miracle while feeling physically broken, noticing every small change happening within me, and carrying a love that hasn't been spoken aloud yet. Even though the sickness and exhaustion make the days feel gray and heavy, I hold on to hope and purpose through the discomfort, counting through each hard hour for the sake of every tiny breath you take.
