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 :)
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
