Hi, I’m Natalie. I’m from Texas originally, but due to me being active duty military, I’m stationed in Chicago. This is my first pregnancy and I’m 19. I’ve got no family up here, besides my husband. It’s just hard going through this alone. I’ve been on bedrest for 5 weeks now and have another 2 week extension, due to preterm contractions at 28 weeks. I’m super excited to connect with new moms who are going through things like myself. #myfirstpost
Thank you. I have watched so many new and old movies/shows lately it’s so funny. It makes me feel like I’m super limited, and I’m not one to sit around. Trying so hard not to get up to do anything has been so hard, my doctor told me today I could find a pool an wade, but that’s about it.
Congrats! I hope bed rest does you well! I know it's hard but try to enjoy the rest, I was on bedrest last month and it sucks but you just have to remember it's for the better. Watch your favorite movies and listen to nice music! If you like drawing or knitting do that!
Just want to say congrats and thank u :)
I’ve been bleeding for 3 weeks now! I’m literally about to go crazy, this is way too much 😕
I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what!
Quick question: Are the contractions or pushing the most painful?
I’ve felt contractions with my first and omg. But I didn’t experience the pushing. He was way to tiny.
I’m being induced Friday morning at 37 weeks due to IUGR. I’m scared as fuuuuck 😅 anyone been through this? Induction and/or IUGR?
my son is going through the 6 week old sleep regression.... NOBODY warned me about this lol 😩 I’m going crazy
I can’t wait until my 6 week postpartum appointment this Wednesday. I’m still bleeding bright red blood ughhh 😩 & hubby going through it ..
Congrats and welcome! I miss Chicago eating 🤤 Your so close to meeting your new addition, stay strong!
