From people who came through it

  • โ€œI've been there. For me it was a few years back. It was scans every week and I couldn't see past it. I went on vacation in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back. Sending love.โ€

    dicegrey27 ยท been through difficult or high-risk pregnancy
  • โ€œI've been there. For me it was in 2023. Gestational diabetes at 28 weeks. That was my life. I laugh properly again. Bit by bit it comes back.โ€

    eastpiano1985 ยท been through difficult or high-risk pregnancy
  • โ€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. Someone told me to do one small thing a day. Some days it's just a shower. God willing it gets easier.โ€

    Alexis Ro ยท been through difficult or high-risk pregnancy
  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. For me it was bed rest. This morning I sang in the car. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Sending love.โ€
