Birth Stories

I’m going to be honest here because I want to make sure you understand where I am coming from as you go further with me on this journey. This experience could have been so different if I had of known I had options but ultimately I gave up. In the end I gave in to having the c-section because I wanted my OB out of my life and the way I saw it once our baby was born I would have one more appointment with her and then I was done!!!

So I FINALLY got a positive pregnancy test and we were on our way to becoming parents. So exciting and so overwhelming at the same time. I had waited so long for this to happen!! So let’s back up for just a second, in my last blog I ended it at the positive test and my husband and I living in the moment together…….Want to know what the next thing out of my mouth was?!?

After we reunited and married, I started a new job, we got a new place together, and I was finally seeing a fertility specialist. Through our journey to this point we had determined that yes I do ovulate EVERY month and things were okay with my husband so we moved on to the next step. I was sent to get a Hysterosalpingography, or HSG to see if my tubes were possibly blocked. Let me tell you a little something about that…

Hey there and welcome to my blog!!! I’m Amanda and I am a wife, Stay at Home Mom (SAHM) of 4, homeschooler, and mom boss. I wanted to share a bit about my journey so you could get to know me and understand how I went from infertility to mom to open-minded and empowered birthing mama! I was at a point in my life that I wanted to be a mom and quite frankly at this point I didn’t care if I was in a relationship or not... No pregnancies EVER, no late periods, NOTHING at all!! It was frustrating. I had regular cycles and no health problems so what was wrong with me.
