Enjoy your pregnancy and try not to worry…

I had my first baby this past February! I wanted to make this post, because through my whole pregnancy people were incredibly negative. They would tell me their horror labor stories, about how I’ll never sleep again and how I should get used to the sound of constant crying, etc.My labor was about 30 hours, but not as bad as I imagined. When it came time to push I pushed her out in 1 hour. Only two stitches. It was my first baby. You aren’t necessarily going to have a bad experience like some people say.My baby is now 5 weeks old and I sleep SO much better now than when I was pregnant. She started self cluster feeding at night and then sleeping 5-6 hours during the night. She has slept through multiple nights already. She “talks” to me with little noises when she is upset, but doesn’t cry often. She only cries if she is ignored for too long. She is easily calmed down once she gets what she wants.Parenthood is fantastic and just because some people had miserable experiences and colicky babies, doesn’t mean you will. Try not to worry about crying, sleeplessness or other horror stories. Unless it’s actively happening to you, it’s not worth letting the anxiety take away from your happiness of pregnancy and parenthood.Hope this all makes sense. Just want to say the things I wish I heard when I was pregnant, but unfortunately never did. via /r/pregnant https://ift.tt/E8W3Hda
