My positive pregnancy story

 

With so many books, websites and people talking about their negative experiences with pregnancy, I thought I should put my positive story out there. 

 

I am 33 years old and my husband and I are expecting our first child, a girl in February.  I am 24 weeks along and so far, so good!  I have been feeling great, and living my life very normally!  I have a loving and supportive husband who is so excited about our baby, a great family, and a wonderful OBGYN and Nurse Midwife. 

 

My husband and I like to read our pregnancy books together each night.  We brainstorm about baby names all the time and he is, for the first time ever, enthusiastic about shopping! I have really enjoyed getting to know this side of him.  He is wonderful and I know he will be the best Dad to our little girl! 

 

My parents have never been the type to put pressure on us to have a child so they could be grandparents.  But now that we have a baby on the way, they are so excited and looking forward to spoiling our baby girl!   How nice to see them so happy!

 

I see my OBGYN and Nurse Midwife alternately because I feel I am being exposed equally to the clinical aspects of the pregnancy, and the emotional aspects.  I highly recommend to your website visitors that they visit a medical team like this.  It is working out great for us!  I never feel overloaded with information.  They really take everything one step at a time.  I leave each appointment knowing that I have all of the information I need to carry me through to the next step, so I never feel overwhelmed.  I truly believe in the idea that too much information is not necessarily a good thing.

 

With my pregnancy, I feel something different every day, be it an emotional feeling or a physical sensation.  Rather than freaking out and searching the internet for causes for these feelings, I  relax and remind myself that my body is making major changes to help my baby grow!  Of course, on the rare occasions I have felt something that really concerned me, I did not hesitate to call my doctor, even if it was after hours.  But my point is, I am not treating my pregnancy like it is an illness.  It is quite the opposite!

 

I feel so happy about this incredible experience I am going through and I want to make the most out of it!   Believe me, I was worried about the whole pregnancy experience and never thought I would be this excited about having a child.   Who knows, by the time I am in the home stretch, I may be so uncomfortable, I may think I was crazy for being in "la la land" writing this happy letter...but I do not want to allow myself to dread what is ahead!   This is too special a time and there are so many people who wish they could be so fortunate to be able to bear a child.  My positive outlook on my pregnancy is a tribute to those women who are having trouble conceiving or cannot conceive.   So, if you are pregnant and reading  this, I wish for you a positive experience and a lot of fun during these 9 months!!!!
