Pregnant people!! What is some advice you would give yourself if you could go back in time and talk to yourself before you got pregnant?

Question

What is something you WISH you knew then that you know now?

Answer

I wish I had known how hard it would be after two miscarriages to simultaneously want to reach certain milestones then feel guilty when I do, because my other babies never made it there.
I wish I knew that despite my struggles to get this baby, it’s okay to complain about pregnancy and it’s okay when other people do too. Pregnancy is hard, it doesn’t mean the person is undeserving or doesn’t want their baby. 
I wish I knew during my miscarriages that things were going to be okay. I wish after my last miscarriage last year I could have known that if I just had patience and faith that God WOULD come through.

Answer

I gained a TON of weight my first 15 weeks (18 pounds) because I was so nauseated and stressed at work, I ate bagels every single day. I would go back and tell myself to calm down, take B6 instead, use other coping strategies. Now I’m 45 pounds up at almost 37 weeks and though that’s not a ton, it’s more than I would’ve wanted to gain.

Answer

to workout more and eat better

Answer

Sleep while you can. I'm pregnant with #2 and that's what I miss most.
