At 13 weeks I woke up with my pants soaked in blood and really bad cramping. I'll never forget sitting in the hospital, days after announcing our pregnancy, thinking that we'd lost our baby. The relief and worry that followed when they told me there wasn't anything wrong with the baby, placenta, or my uterus but that they weren't sure what exactly was going on... Luckily that was the last scare we had. Around 35 weeks I started having lots of pressure and cramping and I decided to start my leave early after my midwife told me my body was telling me to slow down or I might be delivering a premie. This pregnancy has not been easy in comparison to my first. All the nausea and exhaustion, the bitchiness, the loss of my sex drive and frequent bouts of depression, and just absolutely not feeling like myself at all along with the constant worry that I'd lose this baby has definitely taken its toll. I am so ready for this little man to come earth-side though! How blessed we all are!
