So much feeling for you. I had a hard time conceiving the first time. We were living in Germany and went back to the States for a month's vacation. I came back to Germany pregnant! It was the low-level stress of living somewhere where I didn't feel accepted that was inhibiting things. So be super nice to yourself. You can do no wrong. I am enjoying your comics!

And yes! I totally agree with the whole relaxing your body thing. It makes a difference! Lots of reading and yoga in my future… ☺️

You deserve nothing but sweetness and support! It'll all be fine. The nurse and the spouse are key factors in all this, it's so much to remember. Make several small milestones to fit into the big one of having a baby--look forward to a trip, a date with the gals, etc. and I loved reading The Miracle of Mindfulness by the late Thich Nhat Hahn while going through mine. Your lovely comic strips could be your spiritual anchor and wisdom:)

Thank you, Beth! And you’re right, a support system makes ALL the difference. In the past I’ve tried to do things like this on my own, and CAN CONFIRM: it’s better with other people. 💕
