1) What fears did you experience when you were pregnant?
I never feared having a baby in our lives , i did fear the whole birthing process & was worried that i never worried to much about it ,i didn't have a birth plan & that concerned me ,i was so informed but yet had no information(hard to understand i know)



2) What things did you find upset you?
The hardest thing to deal with for me & upset me the most was people asking if i was having twins ,or the "you sure there is only one in there?" comments , i worried that something was wrong or weird , the unknown.
* I am again "Big" but in no way am i effected i just laugh now & say "Yep one thing i am good at is growing big babies!!!!"



3) What sort of things did you dream about?
I never had the dream yness with my pregnancy ,nor do i with this one ...you need to sleep to dream right lol



4) What were you most looking forward too?
Seeing Dh become a dad ,watching all his fears be pushed aside & fall in love with this beautiful little munchkin that we both had a hand in creating.



5) What aspect of being pregnant did you enjoy the most?
Ummm Do i enjoy the most?
I think the giggles they are my favourite , oh no wait & when munchkin started wrapping her arms around my neck for a goodnight cuddle,hmmm & the blow kisses,actually pretty much all of it ,that dosn't involve tears on anyones part !!!!



6) How did pregnancy change or affect your relationship with your partner?
I think that we work things out together a lot more , if one of us isnt coping the other is always there to step up to the plate, it's got to be that way.
We used to stew on things now i think we just get on with it & move on.



7) How did the pregnancy change or affect your relationship with your mother?
Not sure yet ,still working that out ,mum & i have always been close,she is a wonderful mum & here if i need her , but would never tell me how i should be doing things & gosh i love her for that.
