PREGNANCY

Here I will discuss all pregnancy related topics. Everything from getting pregnant to feeling that first kick to that final push when you meet your bundle of joy. Those 9 months are so vital and feel like forever in the moment, but trust me they fly by so fast!! Nine months later you might be missing that belly of yours and the safety it provided for your babes. Or you hated every second of it and are so glad to move on from it. Either way I hope these posts give you some insights on the experience and help you get through it. Because even though our bodies are incredible powerhouses, making a human being is bloody hard.
