Member-only story
For the first-time mom, pregnancy is something new every day, it may seem like you have a grip on things, but then you get to your next week and things shift. Pregnancy is something you go through and learn together with the process.
I am going to be honest with you, even though I thought I knew things, and I thought I have seen enough videos to know what to expect, but really there is no way you can be fully prepared. Pregnancy is magical and unknown, and being on top of things and gathering the knowledge is necessary.
Preparing for a baby and knowing exactly what to do in every situation can be overwhelming and scary at times, but considering every pro and con, and doing enough research you can give yourself a chance to make an informed decision and be on top of things.
There were times where I thought I needed something extra to help me get through pregnancy symptoms, and I did spend money on things I used once or twice, and they didn’t work or help. But I didn’t linger on these things, I decided to just give them away or sell them. Maybe somebody else needed these things more than me.
