I am very excited about the upcoming movie What to Expect When You’re Expecting. It feels like just yesterday that I was lovingly clutching my pregnant belly! That was 23 months ago. I have learned quite a bit during those 40 weeks of massive change. I wouldn't call myself a "pro" but have gained confidence & wisdom!


Our pregnancy was our FIRST! We read up & "prepared" ourselves by learning all that we could before the big day. We had a copy of What to Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff, we watched The Business of Being Born produced by Ricki Lake (amongst countless other documentaries), we went to doctors appointments, and took birthing classes together.

I took my prenatal vitamins! I actually began taking them well before becoming pregnant on the doctors advice that it may help with my overall health & health of baby. Since I am of "advanced maternal aged" I  took as many precautions as I could. Result: Mom & Baby were (are) healthy, I am glad that I took the doctor's advice!

IF we should be blessed with a second child, I think we have the basics down! BUT they always tell me that every pregnancy is different!

For me what was happily unexpected: NO morning sickness, NO panic once the contractions started & throughout labor and delivery, and NO diaper changes during our hospital stay (Hero Hubby-Daddy).

Not-so-happily unexpected: 50 pound weight gain, episiotomy, and retained placenta.

I am normally a slave to my cravings but surprisingly I did not have any food cravings or aversions at all. I thought cravings & pregnancy went hand in hand.  I was wrong about that.

GIVEAWAY:   Five (5) Mommied Life by Cynthia readers will win a pair of tickets for an advanced screening here in San Diego, CA!  The movie release is May 18th but we will get a sneak peak! Doesn't that make you feel like a VIP?!  Well it doesn't end there! We, as a group, will have a photo opp with a professional photographer!  Winners & guests will get a FREE t-shirt on the day of the event.  We will all wear them for our photo opp. AND a goody bag to take home of course! Interested?  Stay tuned for more details. First, let's talk pregnancy!

I would LOVE to hear about your individual pregnancy stories! I am most curious about what you did NOT expect when you were expecting.  The unexpected is very interesting to me & I hope that you share yours!

  8. My first pregnancy was unexpected as my Dr told me I would have a hard time conceiving after a LEEP procedure. A week after the ok to have sex, we conceived. I did not expect the bad sciatica pains, gestational diabetes and early contractions. Sick as a dog throughout my first trimester was miserable. With Pre eclampsia and several issues and scares including early induction....its surprising we had another!

  9. I'm also looking forward to seeing this movie...someday...on dvd, probably. I had an easy pregnancy but I also had a retained placenta with my first baby--no fun at all!

  10. I don't have any children yet but I'm hoping to soon. I've read a lot about it, I've talked to a lot of moms about it, but I know enough to know that there will still be plenty of surprises!
