Because I'm so early in my pregnancy and for cultural reasons, my husband and I have not and won't be announcing my pregnancy until after giving birth. We've only shared the news with our immediate family.

Not having the ability to share or talk about the big changes I'm experiencing, and my and my husband's experiences for that matter, can really make me feel isolated and alone sometimes. Creating a human life is a big deal, and it can be really hard not having anyone to talk to. Being able to read all the posts and comments makes it so much easier for me not to feel alone in this experience!! I appreciate all of you and your experiences and being willing to openly share!❤️❤️
