 The moment you say, “I’m pregnant,” it begins.

Advice from people you haven’t talked to in years. From strangers in grocery store aisles. From relatives who raised kids in a completely different time.

But here's what I’ve learned: you don’t owe anyone an explanation. You don’t have to follow every tip, every warning, every story shared with you like it’s gospel.

You are the one growing this baby. You are the one who will lose sleep, feel the kicks, carry the weight, and love more fiercely than you ever thought possible.

So take what feels right. Let the rest go.

You’ve got this. And deep down, you already know exactly what your baby needs.
