“I’ve dated two people during my pregnancy – one male and one female – only to find myself here at this juncture today: In my third trimester back to the original mentality of doing this alone. While I’m borderline obsessed with “doing everything right” to prepare, I’m also coming to terms with how much my life is about to change and how I need to leave much of my type A personality in the delivery room and for the rest of my life. It is the biggest adventure of my life and my greatest wish come true. Establishing my support system of friends, coworkers and family has been key to easing my worries and building up my confidence. Even being labeled a Plus Size Pregnancy and classified as Advanced Maternal Age has only made me want to defy the odds that much more.”
