Why I am Blogging about Pregnancy

Pregnancy is an experience that a lot of women get to experience. For each and every women this experience is different. It can be good, bad, excruciating, depressing, exciting or just plain boring.

Not only is pregnancy different for each woman who experiences it, each pregnancy the woman has can also be unique. You may have a terrible pregnancy with horrible morning sickness all throughout the entire process and have labor complications with your first pregnancy. Then when or if you decide you would like to suffer another 40 weeks of agony and pain you may find out that this pregnancy will go down a completely different path compared to the last one. It just might turn out to be one of the best experiences of your life.

While the pregnancy experience itself is always unique, so is everything else that comes with baring a child. From whether or not the insemination of one of your precious eggs was actually planned, or your birth control failed and the condom broke and wha-la your now going to be spending the next eighteen or more years supporting another human being. All the way too whether you decide to give birth naturally or opt for a c-section. EVERYTHING can be different.

There are sooooo many choices and questions before, during and after every pregnancy. First off should I keep it? (this can be an easy no-brainer question, or one of the hardest decisions you have ever made in your life). How should I tell my boyfriend/husband/guy I met at the bar last month (Crap what was his name? Does anybody know his last name?)? How should I tell my family and friends? Should I and if so what kind of prenatal vitamins should I take? What doctor should I use? Should I choose a male or female doctor? Will I feel comfortable with a male doctor looking into and feeling the depths of my vagina? All of these are questions that can and most likely will arise within the first week of finding out you are expecting.

I am here now experiencing all of these changes, choices and decisions. Since the morning I peed on that stick my brain has not stopped. There have been constant questions, debates and decisions that only I can make. There have been tons of emotions and what if's. The best way to make these decisions and put the worries aside is to talk to other people, connect with other mothers or mothers to be, share what you are going through and realize that just because your pregnancy is different then your sisters was last year, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Every women who gets pregnant whether on purpose or accident has to make these same choices and have legitimate reasons as to why they made the choice they did. I am here to share my experience with you!
