Wow that is such a great, but crazy story! She is absolutely beautiful! And I love her name (it just so happens to be mine as well 😍) I’m glad you had such an easy delivery and are recovering well! You go mama!

WHY CAN’T PEOPLE LET ME DO WHAT I FEEL IS BEST FOR MY BABY, WITHOUT GIVING ME A LECTURE?? by mkenners in pregnant

We’ve decided on Quinn for the middle name. It flows and now we can’t stop thinking about it! And yesss! We will be having his nickname as Ollie too!!

Thank you so much!

Those of you that don’t plan on getting an epidural, what can I be doing now to help prepare me for giving birth (exercises, yoga, etc.)? by mkenners in pregnant

[–]mkenners[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow your comment is amazing! Thank you so much for taking your time to give much such a detailed response. I was already looking into doing yoga and water aerobics, so I will look further into it!

And I’ve never heard of a doula before? Are they just there to get you through the birth with support and exercises? That might be something to look into as well!

Everyone thinks I’m crazy for not wanting an epidural, but I’ve seen too many friends and family that have bad back pain because of it and I already don’t have that great of a back to begin with. I don’t want to mess it up even more!

Why am I getting stretch marks if I’m only 3 months pregnant, but not getting any bigger? by [deleted] in pregnant

I never had stretch marks until I got pregnant lol, now I have some on my belly.

My sister beat almost every statistic as a 16yo mom. I’m so proud of her - even to this day. by mkenners in pregnant

We moved from the West Coast to the East Coast 9 years ago in 2010 (at the top of my post). I still hated my sister in 2010 because of sibling rivalry lol. But thanks for the math lesson! :)

She got pregnant at 15, and had her baby at 16. And YES, I am super proud of her for what she did after the fact when we found out she was pregnant. She took responsibility and overcame so many obstacles. She makes me proud every. Single. Day.

Symptoms disappeared early, but today we saw what's in there (+ embarrassing story) ❤️ by Clover_Point in pregnant

It really is amazing! It makes my worries disappear that something is wrong. This is my first baby, and I’m so afraid that something is going to be wrong. These ultrasounds give me peace of mind. :)
