Finding out you’re expecting can be an overwhelming rush of emotions. The excitement and emotions you are feeling there is nothing that could take this feeling away. Then nerves and uncertainties start to trickle in. This can soon turn that feeling of overwhelming joy, into overwhelming anxieties. I believe that the journey of birth and parenthood is a monumental moment in a parents life that you will never forget. A story you will share time and time again. A story of determination, love and connection. The moment in time that will change your life for eternity.
