Just joined this site, hoping to share the roller coaster ride of pregnancy with others.

This is our first child and we are both very excited. We were lucky to get pregnant with our first try. I find myself all over the map throughout the pregnancy. One day I'm feeling great, excited and maternal... next day I feel worried, anxious, disconnected from baby. I have had a healthy lifestyle but since being pregnant it sometimes feels hard to make healthy choices because I'm tired or craving junk. The first trimester was really scary as I had a fair amount of spotting. My activity level had to change and now I am just getting back into daily fitness.

We have a 3D ultrasound on October 15th. Hoping baby is in right position to find out the sex.

Found out last week that we are having a baby boy! I wanted a girl, everyone thought girl... but I was just so relieved to find out that he's healthy and that I do love baby just as much no matter the sex. Am now going into nursery planning phase.

I am getting sooo excited to meet our little one. The movements lately have felt more and more human. Everyday I just love this little one more and more. We have been renovating the house and I look forward to my time off which starts in 5 short weeks. I want to just nest nest nest.

I received a proposal and two rings for Christmas! It was super romantic and all that I wanted. We won't get married for sometime, I'm not worried about it. Our son will have my partners last name, that was the plan all along.
I am getting so ready to be done with being pregnant! It's pretty cool to feel him moving around and responding to my voice. It's just so uncomfortable and I love to be fit. I am not in the best of shape because I have been so tired throughout the pregnancy.
I have been leaning towards having a water birth. This means a home birth. I'm not crazy about that idea but luckily the midwives carry all they need with them all the time. So if I change my mind while I'm in labour I can have baby at home. So far we are registered to go to the hospital down the street from us. I am looking forward to giving birth. I don't feel scared anymore. I hope to be all natural, focussed and calm. My plan is to focus on visualizing Baby making his way down with ease, everything just opening up without stress... Here's hoping it works!!

Owen was delivered on March 9 by emergency c section. I was induced after labouring at home for 12 hours with no progress. The hospital induction took two doses, but then sent me into very hard, excessive contractions. No breaks between. This went on for 19 hours with little progress. In the end my cervix started swelling from the pressure and he actually started going back up the canal because he was OT. His head was down, but sideways.

As hard and traumatic as the birth was I am overjoyed. We are all doing really well, recovering at home, blossoming as a family.
