    Also LOVE how supportive Matt is with the lady bits prep wow. Too be so comfortable and willing to is a great quality in a partner. I really think all this will help a tonn. I haven’t heard anything go opposite than you want with people who have also done what you have done. They all say everything helped a bunch. Going naturally into labor is so rare these days? Why? You’re doing such a good job allowing your body to do what it’s made to do!

      He's been so amazing throughout this entire pregnancy, I couldn't have done it without him and were not even all the way through. Working as a team with your partner is so important and this journey has only brought us closer. Thank you for your kind message, its means alot. xo

    @Superpsychandie 3 года назад +15

    When I had my first baby, I felt the same way before she was born, so I agree that it is completely understandable and that all new parents feel that way! My husband and I found that we adapted pretty quickly to being new parents though (although we did feel like complete zombies for the first month)!

    Matt seems so sweet and really understanding of not only what fatherhood may be like for him but also for you, going into motherhood... You seem so compassionate to him as well... You make an amazing couple... It's not often you see 2 people and you're like, "yep, that's their soulmate, perfect match".

      @stephaniemassengale7160 3 года назад +3

      Before you give birth, it is incomprehensible to imagine having a baby to care for, another life in your family, but once she is here it will feel like she has always been there and you can’t imagine it any other way. It’s an odd shift!

Because as long as it works well for you, it's right!!! All your child will ever need is love! I wish you all the best! And never forget: parenting is fun😃❤

    The first couple of weeks are a little rough. I had baby blues for a couple of weeks. No reason. Doctor said when you lose placenta, you have a hormone imbalance for a while. Breast feeding is rewarding. Just hang in there and you will fall into a routine. Matt, you are great and so supporting.

Just take it one day at a time and know you will find your rhythm. You and Matt are a great team. You guys got this!!! Oh and making some padiscles w your essential oils, aloe vera and witch hazel will feel amazing after delivery.

    I regards to you and Matt’s talk about the baby coming- you are exactly right. It is ALOT! First off, breastfeeding will be very draining, I don’t say this to complain, but just to be realistic lol. It’s the most rewarding this, however is a big transition. Also, with you being very healthy and active. I think you will recovery well otherwise yes the first couple weeks or so are very sore and tired while trying to take care of baby. Wish you all the next Nikole! I can see Matt being super helpful with baby and cooking!

    Ok this is so weird, but I just got home from the ER with a small fracture of my ankle. I saw that you had posted and I thought oh can you imagine breaking your foot (or spraining) while pregnant? AND THEN YOU SAID YOU DID !!! Hope yours is feeling much better. You're getting so close and I'm so excited for you and Matt. Parenthood is the bomb :-). (I have 2 babies ... they are 25 and 27 now, but forever my babies ROFL).

      Not everyone values the tradicional 'act of marriage'. It doesn't mean they don't consider themselves married/partners for life/family. They are as much together as any other married couple. Marriage is just a tradicional symbol and its nothing that is needed to build a family. Not everyone values this tradition and it's completely OK :)

      Late reply but as ju said, not everyone feels the need to get married, they can still consider themselves lifelong partners.. if they already "do everything else" as you say, then why spend the money on marriage when it's not necessary? Marriage is a choice and it costs money. Why should people get married? I understand it being right in your eyes, if that's the way you got raised, but I don't understand why it has to be right in everyone else's?
