SPINOFF- sort of - Of all the things that we read about

It looks like so many things can "go wrong." What we have to remember is how many times it goes right.

I know it is incredibly hard for us new PGs, but I think a lot of us might be on a road to drive ourselves crazy in the next 30-odd weeks.

It is ok to be cautious about things we have control over (drinking, drugs, alcohol, foods), but I say let's just keeping thinking positive, healthy thoughts for us & our babies!

We can do it!

I was told "A Million women have had children before you, and a Million will after - don't sweat the small stuff"

I try to concentrate on the good things as much as I can.

I can be hard, but it's important to keep yourself calm for the baby and for yourself.

I have a little breathing mantra that I say when I'm feeling stressed out.

When I realize I'm fretting or right before I fall asleep when I find myself thinking terrible thoughts, I stop myself and take a deep breath in while thinking "Our baby is healthy and strong." And just keep repeating that until I've completely calmed down.

I've been doing that since the Egg Transfer and it calms me down and helps me.

I keep telling myself that it will be alright and that this happened for a reason.....a reason I'll know 10 years down the road!

You are only given what you can handle....I must be stronger than I think I am!
