Rosie, first of all: congratulations! I'm so happy for you that you have come this far. Thank you for sharing this. As you said, there is not a lot on bpd and pregnancy. There's actually not a lot (non-stigmatized) content on bpd at all. I have been reading your book lately and it has been a huge help to me. Long story, but i'm also diagnosed with bpd, did DBT in the past and have the wish to start a family. Been through ups and downs on this journey and sometimes doubting myself. This is is the hope I need. So big thanks and all the best ❤️
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I would love to be a parent but the awful things I’ve read online (mostly when trying to learn) have really made me miserable and like I’m not allowed to. But this gives me hope. Would love to see an update, how you’re doing now? Best of luck 🎉❤
I've been wanting to be a mother for the past twenty years. It's my biggest dream. It's what I was born to be. But when I got diagnosed I thought I had to give up on that dream and I was devastated. I also read a lot of awful things online. I'm so glad my best friend did some research for me and help me realize that I actually could be a mother. It does help. It helped me so much. Thank you. I'll be a mother.
I'm 8 weeks pregnant. Had a bpd episode with boyfriend last week. He hasn't spoken to me I genuinely think he thinks I'm just crazy and not emotionally stable to have the baby. What's ironic is I only have outbursts maybe once a year and it's really just to do with relationships. This week I really needed him but he couldn't be there for me hence the breakdown. I sent him an apology message today but haven't heard anything. Absolutely heartbroken. I know I still need to work on myself but I also know that the right person would help me through this and not further blame me for things.
I’m sorry you’re going through this mama. Just know you will be a great mother regardless of your bpd. We all have the ability to be BETTER ❤ is your partner open to therapy? It doesn’t seem like he’s educated on bpd

How have things worked out? Thank you for sharing your experience ❤
@xEPICxNESS I lost the baby and we broke up. Was the most painful time of my life but I'm out the other side now and it was probably for the best
These hormones have me raging.. I use my usual strategies but they haven't been helping.. 6 weeks five days 🥲
