Got the call from the dr on Friday (37weeks pregnant) that I was to go directly to the hospital to be induced. My baby was measuring small and hadn't seemed to grow from the point of 34 weeks. This is called intrauterine growth restriction. She was better off to come early and be able to eat and grow rather than stay til 40 weeks and not grow. She was weighing 4lbs 6oz by ultrasound. That is only the 2nd percentile for babies at 37 weeks gestation. Obviously panicking, I got our things rogether and headed for the hospital. 16 hours after my induction began, 2/27/16 @6:13 pm, my sweet, tiny baby was born! Weighing in at 5lbs 1oz! Woohoo!!! While that is still tiny, it is much better than 4lbs 6oz! Everything seems to be fine so far! She is having a bit of trouble regulating and keeping her temp up and we are working on eating, but those are miniscule issues at this point! I am so Incredibly blessed to be her mommy!

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
Preggies,
Today, we are deeply saddened by the news that @Martinajjones' baby, Jason Andrew Colley, was born early and passed away. He was born today, on his father's birthday, at 34 weeks, weighing 4 pounds 7 ounces and 17 inches long. @Martinajjones has been a strong member of this community since January. We are so sad for her loss, and her family's, and our thoughts go out to her.
You can message the family on this post, if you would like to add your condolences.
Best wishes,
Preggie_USA
“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
