#preconception

[thetradthey]

I had such a rough and emotional weekend. It was amazing to come back to so much kindness and love! When I created this blog a few weeks back I never expected so much interaction. You are all super lovely and I'm incredibly grateful to all of my new followers!

For context, my fiancé and I are in our preconception phase. This includes focusing on healthy routines, eating habits, planning our dream home/location, and prepping my body for conception.

I spent some more time looking into things this weekend and waves of anguish, frustration, and jealousy washed over me. For the most part, unless dealing with fertility issues, couples can get pregnant easily. Many could try tonight and be pregnant by the end of the week. With artificial insemination it could take months, possibly years. When all I want, right now, is to be with child. So I spent most of the weekend torn up about it, even thought about throwing away the idea to have children completely.

After sitting with ALL the emotions, I decided....I can't throw my dream away. Since I was little, I always wanted my own children and family. It's one of the reasons I was drawn to a career in education - to teach and nurture the littles, our future of tomorrow; like my parents did for me. It filled my heart with joy but only made me yearn for my own little ones even more nor did the career truly fulfill me like I know being a mother would.

I believe I am truly meant to be a mother and a phenomenal one at that. Today was the first time I felt okay about everything. Still a little disappointed it will take more work, but, I know the Creator will provide me with the dream He has shown me.

If you feel comfortable, I would love to hear from other parents/mothers/couples who did IUI/IVF. The whole process being so medical scares me and would love some resources and/or friends throughout this journey.

Thank you<3

“A child sees everything, looks straight at it, examines it, without any preconceived idea; most people, after they are about eleven or twelve, quite lose this power, they see everything through a few preconceived ideas which hang like a veil between them and the outer world.” Olive Schreiner

[wayti-blog]

It is really quite amazing by what margins competent but conservative scientists and engineers can miss the mark, when they start with the preconceived idea that what they are investigating is impossible. When this happens, the most well-informed men become blinded by their prejudices and are unable to see what lies directly ahead of them.

18-crucial months for women-Pregnancy Nutrition

PRE-CONCEPTION TO BIRTH Do you know most conditions that occur in adulthood originate in feta life? Pregnancy is the phenomenon that brings life into the world.

Nutrition counseling is important for all women prior to conception, during pregnancy, and lactation. A woman’s nutritional status not only influences her health but also fetal health and is associated with more appropriate birth weight and increased rates of maternal and infant survival.
