Equipment! If you follow me on Instagram, you know what I’m about to say …
I am pregnant !!
Listen … through this first quarter and do not be able to share it with all of you (and the baby) on our fingers of your feet!
This year has been filled with the best! Travel, turn 30 and the most special, the baby!
For all moms, congratulations to you! The first quarter is not walking around the park. We … I suppose I can say now … We have made a lot of reflection and we want to share 3 discoveries that we have made in the last 3 months! Whether she is pregnant, she is pregnant, know some who are pregnant, or none of the previous ones, I hope you find this valuable!
Number #1: You will need support
So, at first, I only told my close family and some of my friends. I could keep it inside and I am very grateful for your support and your duration, that time, changed my life. But keeping it away from the people with whom I work, you and family and distant friends were difficult. You can feel quite alone and isolated at the beginning.
I’m not sure how I feel about people traditionally staying for themselves for so long. (3 whole months),
Number#2: Don’t try to control it
These pregnancy symptoms are not jokes! I had an entire meal plan and goes out the window at the time I needed crabs and fats to solve my nausea. At this time, Pizza is a girl’s best friend!
I had to quickly release the control and decided to lean and trust the process. This was a huge but essential adjustment and I trust that I will do it better since the symptoms, hopefully, decrease 🤞🤞.
Number#3: Do your best effort
Every day is a bit different … as special with my exercise routine. My heart rate increases faster, fatigo more easily and sometimes I just have to cut or shorten it. At first, not being able to do the way I usually do was hard. But I also had to support myself in doing my best when I could and that could mean more slow, less intensity and less days in the gym. And I am grateful for that.
I am very amazed at the things my body is doing! And I can’t wait to have you on this trip with me.
I hope you found our little interesting discoveries!
With love,
BARAA + 1
