Real Women. Real Experiences. – Jessica H 

Q: Tell me about yourself. Where are you from? How many kids do you have?

A: Hi my name is Jessica, I am an east coast gal recently back home in MA from 8 years in the AZ desert  

Q: How was your pregnancy? The good? The bad?

A: My pregnancy overall was status quo for the most part. My situation was unique in the sense that I had transferred obgyns almost halfway through my pregnancy during my big move back to the east coast so I feel like between that, covid regulations, and not really able to make the connection with the new practice contributed to my angst. I was already super nervous about delivering and not feeling like I was supported, seen or heard by my obgyn made it difficult to feel like I was prepared.

Real Women. Real Experiences. – Shannon B

Q: Tell me about yourself. Where are you from? How many kids do you have?

A: My name is Shannon, and my husband and I live in Shakopee, MN. We have been married for seven years and met at St. Cloud State University playing intramural volleyball. I grew up on a farm in Southern Minnesota and have two younger sisters. My husband and I have one daughter, Everly, who is three and a half months old.

Q: How was your pregnancy? The good? The bad?

A: I am thankful to say that I had a great pregnancy. I enjoyed being pregnant, was able to stay active all of pregnancy, didn't have morning sickness and didn't have any complications. However, I did learn before we got pregnant that I have/had PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Thankfully I didn't have many side effects but it unfortunately took us longer to get pregnant than some, because of this. I basically wasn't ovulating regularly, making it impossible to get pregnant. Thankfully after 7 months of trying, I ovulated on my own and was only on oral tablet medication for one month before getting pregnant with Everly.
