When you learn that you are pregnant, you want the pregnancy to go as smoothly as possible, and a beautiful, healthy baby born nine months later. But, it doesn’t always happen as we plan, and sometimes pregnancies are the roughest nine months of a woman’s life. Share in the struggles of one mother who knows all to well what it is like to have a difficult pregnancy. You can learn so much with this information.

Key Takeaways:

• Pregnancy came to the mom-to-be as a surprise, a pleasant surprise.
• During the first trimester of pregnancy, the mom-to-be noticed a few changes in her body, but nothing really serious.
• Starting at week 14 of pregnancy, a few episodes of excessive bleeding brought the mom-to-be to the ER. After plenty of rest and a new doctor, things have normalized.

“I’ve also learned in all my online research that many, many women experience these same types of episodes — what so many people don’t tell you is that every pregnancy is wrought with unexpected moments that shock and scare you, but ultimately are preparing your body (and environment) for this little one that’s about to grace the world. I promise that good energy and strength will ultimately carry you through anything, as freaking scary as some moments may be.”
