So I think it’s pretty safe to say 2020 was an eventful year for a lot of people. Me included, as I spent the most part of it being pregnant for the very first time. Every pregnancy has its ups and downs but having to deal with the standard array off emotions & hormones plus the worries & insecurities of a world wild pandemic too I won’t lie to you, it wasn’t always easy. However being pregnant, creating and growing a human being was an incredible experience. 

 

Overall I feel my pregnancy journey didn’t come without hiccup. At every milestone there were small issues I had to face and I felt things didn’t always go as smoothly as I’d hoped but looking back now I truly believe each one made me that much stronger. The female body is an amazing thing and it’s actually so crazy how strong you become when you have to. 

 

My heart goes out to every pregnant woman battling the emotions and hormones of their pregnancy during Covid 19. It sadly did have a huge impact on my journey. Hospitals continued to be amazing but there sadly were huge restrictions. My partner missed out on a lot and could only come to a few appointments/scans which of course was devastating. 

 

As a first time mum you have no clue what to expect which can be daunting. As things were so limited because of the pandemic I opted for a couple of hypno birthing sessions so my partner and I could have open conversations with a personal midwife and discuss any topics we were unsure about. I would hugely recommend this!!! It helped put our minds at ease and we actually learnt so much.
