I’m 12+4. The first trimester has been horrendous for me this pregnancy. I didn’t find out I was pregnant until the second trimester for my other pregnancies. Good lick! I hope the 2nd and 3rd are easier for you!

Word of advice: Don’t listen to anyone’s advice about raising your kid lol. Everyone will tell you different things and most of it will be contradictory to the last thing someone said.

Thank you!! Yeah, it has been overwhelming as I've been deep-diving parenting blogs, trying to get prepared. There's so much advice out there that it's got me like this: 👁️👄👁️

I reckon we'll just do it live and try to be as loving and respectful of the person they turn out to be as we can. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me

That’s really all you can do. There’s no one answer to raising a child because no child is the same. And tbh I stayed away from the parenting blogs because they always made me feel less than even before I gave birth. You’re not going to get everything right on the first try.
