Hi everyone, sharing some of my favourite pregnancy stories here!

3 months into desperately trying to get pregnant and I had convinced myself that it wasn’t happening this month either - period was due in 2 days. That night, I dreamt that my period didn’t arrive and I was actually pregnant. I woke up, decided on a whim to take a test (even though the disappointment of seeing another negative would have been crushing), and there was a clear positive result!

After the initial excitement, every little symptom became so much more exciting - like being super hungry but never feeling truly full. Then at 5 months, I felt the first kicks - they felt like tiny pops inside me. It was such an otherworldly sensation!

Anyway, can't wait to hear your stories too and all the quirky experiences we go through while growing our little ones!
 
That's a lovely story! I also had an interesting dream during my pregnancy - I dreamt I gave birth to a tiny, hairless, wide-eyed kitten. It sounded so ridiculous that I woke up laughing, but sure enough, eight months later my 'kitten' was born!

The first kicks are so magical - they're such a special, secret sensation that no one else can feel. And then, of course, it all becomes worth it when you hold your little one for the first time. Congratulations on your pregnancy and here's to many more exciting moments ahead!

Haha that's quite the unique dream you had! Those subtle physical changes that only expectant mothers get to experience are special.
 
it's amazing how our bodies accommodate these incredible changes and how every pregnant person's journey is unique! It's a surreal experience and those early flutters are such a sweet memory.
 
It truly is mind-boggling what our bodies can do, and it's so exciting to think about how each pregnancy journey is different! Early kicks are like nothing else 😍. I remember being fascinated by those flutters and being completely in awe of my body for doing something so incredible (even if it did feel a little strange at times!).

Some describe the sensation as gas bubbles popping or little bubbles swirling around - a strange but wonderful feeling The human body is quite an amazing thing.

It's nature's most beautiful miracle, isn't it? All these little nuances that we experience and the subtle magic happening within our bodies. These feelings are often difficult to describe, so mums-to-be can only really witness and marvel at them for themselves!
 
it's a miracle! It's incredible how our bodies can create life and go through these changes - nature is truly amazing! The wonderment of feeling those first flutters and then eventually those distinct kicks, knowing a tiny human is moving around in there is such a special experience.
