Congratulations,

I only had one child.....married 2 years & in the middle of getting my degree. I worked out & swam every day to stay in shape & not gain any weight....lol. I only gained 5 pounds. Have to admit, I lost 10 pounds of that the last month being stressed about having to have a c-section. My baby was 8 pounds 2 oz of that & too big to come out normal which was why the Dr said she turned breech on me.

Strangely, I looked about like your photo the night before I delivered. I refused to eat any junk food while pregnant until one night I came home from my night class I was taking starved for BBQ potato chips. My husband went out & bought a bag & I ate the whole thing. I started having stomach cramps in the middle of the night...I was sure it was indigestion from the chips......NOT....it was labour pains.....what a shock that was all the worse they felt like. Dr said it was sad with such an easy pregnancy I had that they had to do the c-section......swore then there would be no more children....wasn't about to go through another c-section for anything.....it wasn't actually that bad.....but it wasn't something I ever wanted to do again.....I figured I could enjoy the one daughter I was blessed with & be very very happy.

Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy......sure you will be a wonderful Mother......it's the desire to be a mother that makes the difference.

Best wishes,
Debboe
