    • @naomirstrong
      @naomirstrong 2 дні тому

      Congratulations! 🥰 honestly, contractions are so hard to describe because they’re such a unique feeling. They feel like one big, long, intense period cramp happening in the entire baby bump. The feeling is so distinct that you won’t miss it when they start happening.

      Being scared is totally normally. We can be scared and still do amazing things! It’s important to address fears though so they don’t get in the way when it’s game time. After giving birth, I can say with 100% confidence that it’s mainly mental. You got this mama! 🤍

    When people say you don't get a reward for going natural just do not understand or very bitter. It's like running a marathon some of them will give you a T-shirt. (Birthing centers Should do that 😅) But the main thing is about it is that you did something hard that not everyone can do.

    • @naomirstrong

      I 100% agree with you! We should get tshirts and a medal for crossing the finish line. 😂 but we already walk out with the greatest medal, our baby. But yes you’re right, it’s an empowering feeling to do something hard and come out on the other side successfully!

    "We are stronger than what we think" yupp! I know especially in the first trimester right before leaving for work, I'd tell my hubby "Welp, let's see if I survive today" lol but of course I did! Another life lesson I would include is gaining more patience! I have needed a lot of it while working outside the home, having to work with others and have to contain my exhaustion/ moodiness ha🤭

    • @naomirstrong
      @naomirstrong Місяць тому

      Literally sometimes you just have to tell yourself that “let’s survive another day”! Some days are harder than others, but we always do. The first trimester definitely shows that strength! And yesss, you’re so right about patience! That’s a great one. 🤍
