Finding Out!
The first time you find out your pregnant while you're growing and still creating your life. There are 5 feelings plus you are feeling in that moment happiness, sadness, guilty, worried, happy again full circle. this is the time you feel your baby, connect with your Child heartbeat. One moment you feel like why did I bring this beautiful soul on this crazy plant , the next you'ed be like why wouldn't I bring this jewel here too shine that child must be here for a reason. As a black women you question sometimes can you even have kids because of how we're treated in the medical field or past medical history. , Knowing all the challenges from watching YouTube videos or reading stories or watching films. It takes a toll on your emotions PLUS hormones forget about it.
1st,2nd,3rd Trimester
The first trimester is about all the butterfly feelings preparing yourself mental but still in shock! you start to think about the future, ahead what will he/she looks like will they love me what will he/she be like when they go up. so many questions you'll ask and sometimes you'll turn to the internet like for mom blogs comments of other mothers and their experiences , also YouTube videos and auto books anything to comfort ,give info that can calm your inner mother worries. You have many appointments on this journey so stay hydrated lots of water , watch your sugar and salt in take , try to find peace and or a hobbies to keep your stress levels down. for all my seafood lovers like myself cutting down is hard and the sea well be missed but its for the betterment of our baby's.
Second trimester is when you start feeling more movement than butterfly's and you start to see that beautiful belly shape , feel heavy. thinking about names buying clothes and all the oh so cute baby stuff. BUT I recommend that if you want to buy a bunch of cute outfits buy them for older age because they grow so fast they'll outgrow clothes in a SNAP as a newborn all they do is pee , throw up and poop on themselves so lots of baby shirts , socks, bibs ,hats , blankets, mittens will do depending on the season you're baby arrives. you can prepare your home for your bundle of joy and enjoy your pregnancy and get lots of sleep.
3. Third trimester UGH! you're pretty much over it and you just want your baby already lots of back pain ,heartburn, swole feet the works getting the baby. stroller, crib, high chair and room ready for arrival creating a clean and peaceful space during this time is best. before you go in don't forget your'e baby bag. Note hospital may supply.

During&After Birth!!
There are seven types Birthing methods .
Natural Birth.

Unplanned Cesarean.
Vaginal Birth after C-Section (VBAC)
Scheduled Induction.
Home birth
water birth
Make Sure you eat something nice because once you start the birthing process you won't be eating until after you give birth and by the Time you finish all you might wanna do is sleep from all the draining pushing , waiting, contractions is all a big pull of energy but know that everything's okay just breath I advocacy to give birth standing up I read that all the presser to push is better squatting than laying on your back. IF your a mother then you know your back hurts for life after that. but once you have your beautiful baby all that pain doesn't matter for a second just loving them and hugging , kissing that soft baby skin.
At the end of the day all you can do is take it day by day and love your child and be the best you can some days will be hard and some days will be smooth but there never be boring for sure lol. Thats all fo now see you next blog!!
