You deserve happiness like everyone else; sometimes that means walking down a new path which can be scary but can also be exciting.
Wishing you the best. Stay brave.

3·11 days agoI heard every pregnancy is different even for the same person. My experience was pretty similar to what my mom experienced; it was mild. I expected to hate it but didn’t. We got lucky.
My worst symptoms were insatiable hunger, fatigue (from mild anemia), congestion. I used saline nasal spray and breath right strips religiously. I got lucky and I lost facial and body hair in pregnancy; hands down best feature for me but was completely unexpected.
I was terrified of L&D but my body took over like it knew what it was doing (breathing/focusing/pushing) which surprised me; the epidural helped me stay focused. My mom talked about how focused she was for L&D so again luck.
Also early labor I didn’t know it was happening because I was sleeping. When I realized what it was it felt like period cramps or a uti early on except the waves would make me stop and it was all I could focus on. Since I was asleep for part of it my L&D was super quick (6 hours ish). Have your hospital bag ready in case your first is quick like this.
My advice is take your prenatal vitamins daily, walk/stretch daily (any amount is better than nothing), and if your mom is around, talk to her about both of your experiences. Also try to enjoy the process, congrats.
She’s a nurse/serial killer from a dark comedy series called Fargo.
I think it’s supposed to be ironic that she talking about redemption.
