Goulding is embracing the unknown, and accepting that living in the present feels more productive than worrying what exactly the future will be like. It’s nice to think about the nursery and what kind of baby I’ll have, but personally I’ve been able to deal with it by being kind to myself, accepting myself bad or good, and taking it day by day.” “I’m trying to take things much more in the moment now and not worry about the future because every single day it’s different. “Never have I wanted to listen to other women’s stories so much!” she says. She also seems to understand deeply that every woman has a different pregnancy and birth experience. Instinctively, the whole gender reveal is not my thing.” We just wanted a healthy baby and there wasn’t much more to it. “We found out by default because we had a scan. I have a newfound respect for any woman who has children.”Īs for the gender reveal obsession that doesn’t seem to be waning any time soon, Goulding isn’t interested in participating. I’m not saying that every second of this pregnancy has been miserable. It’s not always serene and like you’re not always glowing. I feel like it’s a taboo to talk about pregnancy as being challenging. The sickness and tiredness was nothing I’d ever experienced before. I think that made me keep it very secretive and made me very protective over it. “Because it wasn’t something I had planned for right now, I knew it was a more solitary journey because of what’s going on. “You have your partner, and you have your friends, but in a pandemic, it can feel particularly lonely,” Goulding explains. When it comes to the emotional experience of being pregnant during this time, Goulding says it’s led to a lot of self-reflection alongside feelings of added isolation. “And I was kind of terrified, I suddenly wanted all of the bad things! Whatever this baby did when it took over my body was like, Hell no - I do not want broccoli, spinach, collards! I just wanted sugar and carbs.”
“I actually went from being smug about how healthy my salads were and my breakfasts and eating nuts and seeds, and then all I wanted was McDonalds,” she laughs.
