This pregnancy sickness post has gone viral: “My husband kindly snapped this photo…”
Caution: You'll need tissues for this one.
Mum-of-two Sara Celina recently took to social media to announce she’s expecting her third child.
While most of the pics on the Instagram influencer’s account are beautifully captured, there is one image on her feed that’s a little different to the rest.
Celina shared a photo of herself, sitting on the floor of the bathroom and hugging the toilet while her eldest daughter held her hair back. Celina was suffering one of the many symptoms of morning sickness – or pregnancy sickness as it’s not just restricted to the morning!
At first, Celina was horrifed her husband would take this photo but his reasons why he did are so incredibly beautiful that the pregnant mama was left feeling thankful that he did.
“My husband kindly snapped this photo of us earlier this week – I asked him not so kindly to f*** off and he did,” begins Celina in the post accompanying the photo.
“When I walked out of the bathroom an hour later I asked him why he felt the need to capture that exact moment, since it definitely wouldn’t be one I wanted to remember, he smiled and said:
“Well, you’ve been sick all day every day for the past 4 weeks, you keep asking me and yourself if it’s even worth it, having to feel this bad, so I wanted to remind you of why you’re doing this, because even though this part sucks, it will bring you something so extraordinary in the end – it will bring you someone who loves you unconditionally even on your worst day, it will bring you a person that doesn’t care about the fact that you haven’t showered in 4 days and you’re puking endlessly, she will still want to be right next to you, she will hold your hair up, pet you on your back and keep telling you that you’re doing great, that my dear is the purest kind of love I’ve ever seen”.
“So thank you husband for always making me look at the big picture when I’m only focusing on the small things in front of me – because if this baby turns out to be even 1/10 as amazing as our others did, it’s worth every single second of it. (Even though this part truly do suck)”
Celina’s post has been liked over 50, 000 times and the words of support for Celina’s hubby and his beautiful take on his wife’s sickness, came flooding in.
“This is the sweetest picture ever and he is so right. I would give anything becuz I haven’t been able to get pregnant and ur baby girl is there for you. This brought tears to my eyes becuz I can’t have what you have,” wrote one follower.
“This made me cry. I struggled so much with the past 2 months from severe morning sickness and I kept saying how I wish I had never gotten pregnant again. This is also my 3rd and it has been my hardest pregnancy. Now that I’m finally feeling better, I hate those thoughts that I allowed to take over for weeks at a time. I’ve followed you for a long time now and everything you post hits home with me. Thank you for being so honest ♥️” commented another mama.
