FreedomRing Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 As a long time frequenter over the years, I have seen too many of these posts to count. So of course, it seemed only right to make a post of my own(also to drive this home for myself!). While my husband and I were trying for the last few months, albeit unsuccessfully, we had many highs and lows with this entire experience. Just as the saying goes, things have a way of working out as they should. Just when I was sure we were out yet another month...low and behold. I'm totally shocked -- but at 35, with a husband I know will be the best father to our child, I'm ready for this next chapter(I think, I hope, I pray!). **I am thoroughly petrified at the thought of delivery though, hopefully, I can warm up to THAT in the upcoming months*** Link to comment
ParisPaulette Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Congratulations on the new member and new adventures! I've been pregnant 3 times, delivered 3 times, trust me the delivery is usually one of the easiest parts. By the time month 9 rolls around you will not be able to wait for that delivery to come, so you can hold your baby at last. Link to comment

Seraphim Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yes, compared to raising the child birth is the easy part. Have a well thought out birth plan and allow for the fact it can and will change. Knowledge is the key . Link to comment

FreedomRing Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Just an update -- we are having a baby girl and we couldn't be more excited!!! (ESP me ha!).. I feel so blessed and grateful; I've had no morning sickness whatsoever in the first trimester..so other than feeling tired easily, this has been a stress free pregnancy. Hopefully, we won't be paying for it later 😃 Link to comment
