- Hi everyone. It was a difficult decision to share what we have been/are going through. I’ve been sharing my life with you for almost 6 years and I feel like some of you are family. We ultimately decided to share in hopes to normalize talking about this subject without feeling shame or like you’ve done something wrong. So many couples go through hardships when trying to conceive so if you are, I hope you don’t feel as alone. We are here for each other ♥️ be strong and baby dust to you ✨
Also, apologies for the echo. This was filmed in August and was edited last week before I knew about the terrible sound quality.

Just get in touch with Leigh ann from Leighannsays, she had IVF and she's just had a beautiful healthy baby girl.
She lives in Dallas, tx
Leigh Ann is a CZcamsr too.
Best of luck, praying everything will be ok
Made me cry 😢 xx you will help someone sharing this, I can't wait to watch your beautiful journey to welcome baby Reed one day xx
Praying for you guys 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing this with us. I got the same diagnosis at 29, I read “It Starts With the Egg” and applied some of the suggestions to my otherwise healthy lifestyle and got pregnant naturally a few months later. Dont give up hope and lean onto each other. We are all here for you.
Stay strong Ashley, my cousin had extremely low egg count, she had 3 eggs left at 31 and she ran with it, she was so fearful of failing at ivf that she had all 3 eggs implanted, she got pregnant with twins but one of them made it the whole way through, after that who knows how or only God knows how she got pregnant naturally with another baby a year later after having her first ivf baby, ❤️
I’m so sorry! Infertility is SO hard. I’ve had 8 miscarriages within 3 years. Our rainbow baby just turned 1 on September 6th! I will be hoping and praying during every step of your journey! I hope your newest appointment goes well ❤️
So sorry for all your losses.. Ive had 6 in 2 years.. What did you do differently for your rainbow baby?
@@rr12766 very sorry for your lose as well ❤️ honestly nothing, and we had stopped trying because my husband felt it was getting dangerous for me to keep getting pregnant. But I will say I knew the moment I conceived (call it a mothers intuition) and I also felt the pregnancy was different, like I just knew she was going to stick and she did! I wish you SO much luck and love 💕
Ashley, my heart really breaks for you and Ryan. Modern medicine is wonderful. Jake and I tried for 6 years to have a baby. We ended up having IVF with ICSI. Our fertility specialist suggested this to us because that was the best way to maximize our chances of more viable embryos. By the grace of God we were blessed with Hunter and Harper. Keep your head up sweet girl! You are always welcome to reach out to me at anytime with questions.
I’m so sorry you guys are experiencing this. I found out I had extremely low AMH levels when I was just 23 (same as yours Ash, comparable to someone on their early 50’s) I did one round of IVF and I could only make one embryo but I just gave birth to that one embryo 10 weeks ago, a healthy baby girl. You only need one egg! I will be praying for you guys 💖
Awwww congrats ❤️
Congratulations xxx
I was told I had PCOS when I was 27 and told I wouldn't be able to conceive natural by the time I reached 33. I was single and had to bring this up in first dates 😳 As I didn't want anyone to be stuck with someone potentially "Barren". I met my partner 6 months later, started our fertility journey at 29 and I became pregnant naturally on my 30th birthday!
I know it's not the same, but all we could do is prepare for whichever outcome and be at peace with it.
I am acctualy in exact same position... I turned 30 in April and I just found out that my AMH is 0,8... all I can say is inform as many women as possible to have their AMH tested...HOW IS IT THAT WOMEN DONT KnOW ABOUT IT !???? I am happy I found out because I was not planing on having kids for another 5 years... I wish you all the best! Greetings from Vienna!
We never know what our journey to have a child will look like until we start trying. But you should know that it’s so much different today than even 10 years ago. So many things they can do medically, so many ways to become a parent. It will happen for you . ❤️
Thanks for sharing Ashley. I’m 34 now and I’ve been through exactly the same. I got my diagnosis with 33 years old and after 3 IVFs I got pregnant. Now I have a little baby 6 months old. It’s is a very though journey, lots of ups and downs, but you as a team I’m sure will go through this. As you said, have a plan and be strong. You are not alone. Fortunately now there are more of us who are not ashamed to share our experience. Stay strong and think positive Ashley xxx
До слез! Верю, что у Вас всё получится. Чудо случится! Главное, будьте вместе ❤️
Vulnerability is one of the few ways we can survive in such a crazy world in 2021. You will be an incredible mama Ashley and that day will come it just might take a little longer. Thank you for sharing ! You and Ryan’s bravery is incredible ❤️
I am so inspired by your honesty and bravery to share this. Truly an amazing couple to put this out there in order to bring awareness and help others. Keep the faith and try not to let medical terms and diagnosis dictate the entire journey. Your positive attitude and support for eachother and good energy are 90 percent of the journey. Wishing you all the best and I know it will all work out in the end. Much love and thank you for sharing.
All the best, crossing my fingers for you!! Do whatever you need we don’t need your creative side we don’t need anything from you apart from you looking after yourself as best as you can now:) and thank you so much for sharing and being so open! So many women go through fertility problems but it’s not talked about which makes everybody so much more lonely. You opening up will help others so thank you.
You are going to have so many prayers for you guys now that you’ve shared your journey. I have no doubts that y’all be blessed with a baby soon. Give God all your worries.
Thank you for opening up and sharing this. You didn’t have to share this with us. My husband and I have been facing similar struggles so seeing this reassures me that I am not alone, we are not alone. I know how hard it can be to talk about and how hard it is to keep a smile on your face when everyone around you is asking when you’re going to have a baby. You are both so blessed to have one another, Ryan is so supportive of you. I will pray for you and Ryan and your journey together 🤍
Praying for you and your hubby. Continue to persevere and through the hard times remain positive. I pray that your wishes for a baby come true.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this 😔 You’re not alone and you have a big support group here for you. Take it one day at a time. There is NOTHING wrong with you, life can be unfair sometimes but you will get through this. God doesn’t give us anything He knows we can’t handle. Keep your thoughts positive, you got this. You have a heart of gold of choosing to help others during your own trial. Keeping you in my prayers💗💗💗 ANYTHING is possible💗
Thanks for being vulnerable with us. Was so hard to hear you share that you feel guilt and shame because of a diagnosis out of your control. Remarkable how mean-spirited our inner voice can be sometimes. Sending you a huge amount of positive vibes. I see a beautiful future and family ahead of you. Take the time you need to process, less content for your well-being is something your followers will understand. Lots of love to you both! Don’t loose hope Ashley ❤️❤️
Suffering with infertility is very isolating and difficult- We suffered with secondary infertility for over 5 years but by the grace of God ended up getting pregnant. Don't lose hope! You are not alone and I'm glad you're sharing your journey.
My heart goes out to you and anyone going through this issue! Praying for courage and strength for you during this difficult time! 🙏🏻♥️
Hi Ash and Ryan! I almost never comment on CZcams videos but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this! Wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment to start talking about this "taboo" topic.
There are so many "pregnancy announcement" posts on social media, but people almost never talk about the other side of the journey. So I appreciate you two taking the time to share your news, and for being so open and vulnerable.
I'm also 33, and my husband and I are going through our own fertility journey. I don't have the same medical diagnosis as you do (I just found out that I have endo) but I can completely relate to the shame that you felt when you found out. You're not alone!
If you feel up to it, I'd love to continue watching your fertility journey.
Sending you both so much love, strength and positivity
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Take the time you need to process and feel better. This isn’t your fault. Fertility journeys can be so hard make sure you’re being kind to yourself.
sending you so much love. thank you so much for sharing this process with us. these things aren’t spoken about enough and i hope you know how brave you are and how helpful this is for so many women.
I'm not trying or anything like that but I follow another youtuber from Texas, Leighannsays, and she recently shared her IVF and pregnancy journey and it was so eye opening to me! As someone who isn't around pregnant people at this time in my life, it's nice to see so much of this being talked about in the open so I can hopefully be there for my family and friends now and understand their situation better!
Oh nooo ashley, your tears made me tear up aswell!! 😞 your face and soul are so beautiful to cry. Its so heartbreaking and im so deeply sorry you guys are going through this. One thing i know for sure is for every problem theres ALWAYS a solution. It wont rain forever, remember. I love you so much and keep us updated. Its gonna be alright!!!💙✨
I’m so grateful you shared and I truly hope you feel how supported and loved you both are from complete strangers! You are covered in prayers from around the world.
Thank you for sharing your story and normalizing this topic. Having been through my own struggles, i do appreciate hearing other peoples stories and take comfort in knowing that im not alone. And more than that, how having a child is not as straight forward as the world might make it seem sometimes. So again, thank you, and sending all the baby dust your way!!!
*Biiig hug* Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable and HUMAN. I rarely ever comment but just wanted to say I've been watching you guys for years now and love the energy, humor and inspiration you put out into the world. We are all rooting for you guys! Sending all the love and good vibes!
I'm so sorry you guys are going through this and my heart is with you all the way from the East Coast. I'm sure that sharing your journey will make so many people feel less alone, which is such a beautiful gift to give. Keeping you both in my prayers
You guys are so strong and brave to share your journey with us! Thank you for opening up about this topic and speaking about it from your perspective! I think this resonates with many people and could potentially help anybody who is struggling with infertility issues. I wish you two all the best, lots of love, strength and resilience! ♥️♥️
Ahh I see the hurt in your eyes and wish I could hug you! You’re not alone. I met the love of my life in my late 30s & just went through a failed pregnancy. Those feelings of guilt & sadness coupled with fear of if a full term pregnancy is a reality for me. I truly hope you get your happy ending, whatever that looks like for you!
I have watched you for years and you have inspired me to become confident and pursue my dreams. I so appreciate you sharing this incredibly vulnerable part of your life. It is really brave and I am sending you both so much love. Please remember the power of prayer in times when you feel your lowest and give it up to God. We all love and support you both.
Thank you for sharing this with us and being so open about it, that takes so much courage! Sending you all the love and support for going through this and hoping and praying for you💚✨
You are an amazing, strong inspiration. Over all this years since I am following your journey. Sending love and positive energy. I trust you guys will make it stronger and happier on the other side.
I love you sweet girl! Everything is going to be okay. Much love & continued prayers for you & Ryan on this journey. ❤️🙏❤️
So sorry for the pain you’re experiencing now, hopefully the specialist will have lots of options for. Best of luck ❤️
You got this Ashley!!! I’m praying your appointment with the specialist goes well. Thank you for being vulnerable. You and Ryan have a strong foundation!! 🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing. Infertility struggles can feel so isolating and I totally understand the 'blame' that you put on yourself. Sending love and prayers to you both💜
I believe that there is a solution for everything in life. You never know how many options you have.. i truly believe that everything is possible! Don’t give up on it! Sending all my positive energy to you guys 🤍
Ashley and Ryan, thank you so much for sharing your story. I send lots of love and well wishes for your next steps. It's so important to share these things and speak about women's health. So thank you! I have been struggling with menstrual health issues this year and its been pretty debilitating. Thank you for sharing and speaking out. Its so important we normalise the conversation and make people aware about women's health in general.
I am so sorry. I can't even begin to thank you enough for talking about this so openly. I am literally going through the exact same thing right now. I am 37 and I just found out last month that my AMH is almost undetectable. I found this out through the process of freezing my eggs and was completely shocked by the results. I have always dreamed of having kids and was considering doing it alone but I am not sure if that is going to be an option anymore. It has been the longest month of my life, trying to accept the news. I wish more people were open about fertility struggles because it helps those of us going through it to feel less alone & broken. I wish you guys nothing but the best! Xx
How are you going? I am going through the same thing.. grieving and accepting and feeling sad most of the days😢 so hard to be alone in this
Thank you for sharing this part of your life! I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this, but as someone going through sudden infertility issues myself it’s so nice to see this transparency. You’re so brave to share and that makes me appreciate you even more!
Thank you for sharing your fertility experience! Women’s fertility is something so important to discuss. I’m turning 30 soon and single, so I’ve recently started looking into egg retrieval and freezing as well. Wishing you and Ryan all the best on your journey!
Prayers are powerful. I am praying for you and Ryan. I went through infertility many years ago. I am 61 and had two birth children and one adopted child. The love is all the same. I just remember how hard it was and how many times I cried. I just want you to know I will definitely be sending up powerful prayers. XO, cowgirl Deb
Thank so much for being so vulnerable for the sake of wanting to help others. And also it's so evident how much you love each other, it melted my heart to see how supportive of each other you are, and how brave you are in navigating this together. I will be praying for you guys!
Thank you for being so kind and selfless in sharing such a difficult experience in the hope of helping others. You are both incredibly brave and strong.
Thank you sharing such an intimate part of your life and bringing awareness to such a “taboo” topic. I love that this is becoming more “normal” and it’s bringing a sense of positivity towards woman who have felt less than because of what societal norms have been like for so long. Fertility is something so near and dear to my heart and I wish it was spoken about more. Thank you again for bringing awareness 🤍
Amen!
I’m so sorry to hear this news. I know how heartbreaking this is and my heart goes out to you both xxx I have had multiple miscarriages and back to back Ivf’s and you will get through it, all you need is one good egg! I was similar to you in that the quality of my eggs were great, I just didn’t have that many and I was a lot older than you when I finally had the ivf.. sadly It didn’t work out for me and it’s the biggest regret of my life but I have a fur baby now and at least have something to look after.. I pray with all my heart that your journey will be successful. You would be amazing parents and it shows how deeply you care for each other. I wish you nothing but all the luck in the world... Thank you for sharing such a private part of your life and for raising awareness that fertility is areal and it’s a tough journey and unfortunately a common one. So many women can relate and it helps so so much to talk about it . Such wise words from Ryan... keep on living throughout this time Xxxx
Thank you for sharing this. My heart goes out to you two! So many couples go through difficulties trying to conceive. Sharing this hopefully brings you guys a further support system and also brings people together who are going through similar things. I’ll be thinking of you guys. Best wishes.
I am sending you so much love, hope and support! Remember that it‘s not your fault in any way and you are going to get through it! 🤍🍓
Ashley you’re so strong, and modern medicine is amazing. I hope your next appointment is more positive. Sending you love and positive vibes from Australia ❤️
You're so strong Ashley and I know there is light at the end of the tunnel for you both. Stay strong and try to stay positive. I'll keep you both in my prayers. xx
Im a little "stalker" on your channel for 3 years now and i have not commented any of your videos i just press the like button . I wish you the best from the bottom of my heart , i hope you and Ryan have a small Reed coming up by the end of the year ! Thanks for being so strong and sharing this with us ! Much love !! xxx
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Wishing you and praying for the best along this journey that you are on. I appreciate the courage you have in sharing this part of your lives.
This was a very brave video to share! 💗 I remember you sharing during wedding planning that your venue wouldn’t let you change the date or postpone even though you were worried about c*vid and hosting a big event - the universe works in mysterious ways, and imagine if you had pushed it a year and pushed your family planning a year! Whether or not you believe there’s a higher power looking out for you, there’s already been some things that in hindsight seemed bad at the time but brought you to this place. Your age has brought you strength and world experience that have prepared you to be an amazing mom. And yes, that motherhood journey has already begun! Even if it doesn’t all make sense now, it will one day! 🌸
Coming back to this video to listen to it knowing who you went through such hard time with fertility. My husband and I have been trying for about a year and now having to start the infertility process to find out more. Praying all is good but just wanted to thank you for sharing for people to see that we aren’t going through it alone. So happy that you have your precious baby now!🥹❤❤
I know someone who had the same issue and her husband had low sperm count. They gave her a 3% of pregnancy and she ended up having three babies without any intervention! Praying for you both.
Amazing, yes, if it's meant to be it will be
You have no idea how much people you are helping by sharing this! Thank you both so much for your generosity. We all love and support you. Really hoping and praying for the best
Thank you both for being candid in sharing your journey. All the love and positive thoughts to you both 🤞🤍
sending you love and support!! you guys seem to have such a solid relationship, you'll get through this together!
I’m so sorry you and Ryan have to go through this :( i’ve been following you since your first CZcams video and i think it’s so brave of you to share this difficult part of your life as well. I wish you both lot’s of strenght and love 💫
Fellow low AMH level girl here, I am 😭right along with you. So many of the things you said are exactly what I feel. You are not alone! Thanks so much for sharing! I am so sorry you and Ryan are going through this. ❤️
Sending you so much love and well wishes. I'm sorry you are going through something so hard. I'm not going through a similar struggle, but I was going through a tough time recently and I found so much comfort in your vlogs and I know that you sharing your journey will help a lot of people feel that they are walking through their tough time with a friend who understands.
I will be praying you and your husband! I am sorry to hear this news from you both and that you are experiencing this. I do thank you for having the courage to upload this and share hope and comfort with those in need of it during their journey! ❤️❤️
My heart goes out to you. You are brave for sharing. I’m a fellow San Antonian who also has infertility issues and has done several treatments. You are not alone. Stay strong.
I cried watching :( I am sure you will be fine, I can see you both as amazing parents! just wanted to share that I am so glad you shared this video, because knowing that pregnancy journey can be bumpy (yet still beautiful) helps many people (including me) to mentally prepare for that. The stories about struggles are always the most beautiful ones.
It breaks my heart knowing you're going through this, but I'm sure you'll just come out from it stronger. Don't give up, take it one day at a time and trust that everything is going to be okay in the end. Sending you love and support ❤️
Ash, I respect the both of you so much for being REAL and sharing. My husband and I are both 33&34 years old. We are going through fertility treatments and just got one process of unsuccessful IUI done last week. There will be hard days and some easy, but my recommendation is to take one day at a time. It’s so wonderful to see that others, who are experiencing something similar to you. We’re all in the same boat! I hope Ryan and you find the answers and the options you needed soon. Good luck! ❤️❤️
So sorry about the unsuccessful IUI. We got this! Sending baby dust ✨✨
Thank for sharing! No matter how many people are supporting you ..its a lonely journey. I am a 4time IVF survivor and wish this topic was normalized instead of being kept in the shadow and only brought out when there is success of having a baby. Regardless of my outcome, your story is your story...take everyday day by day. Praying for you both!
Thank you for sharing. Most of my favorite CZcamsrs are pregnant/became mothers in the last year or so. It leaves you feeling quite alone when you see no one else is experiencing what you are. I have PCOS and have been trying with no success for almost 4 years. I am starting IVF next month...wish me luck. It's hard.. watching other woman in their early 30's get pregnant. All children are blessings and I really hope and pray it happens for you soon :) xx
Love you so much! You’re so brave for talking about this but you are helping so many other couples going through this ❤️❤️
I’ve been following you since you and Ryan’s first apt in the city. You two are such an amazing couple- and you WILL make it through. You will get your baby, and it will be a beautiful one!
Thank you for sharing this Ashley. I'm 33 and just had my first baby 4 weeks ago. I had to go through fertility treatments and after 3 sessions of IUI I was able to get pregnant
I’m so, so sorry to hear this news! My husband and I are about to start our first round of IVF - not something I ever would have imagined needing to do at 27! Every infertility journey is uniquely difficult, but we’re all bonded by the same desire to be moms/dads. You both are going to be great parents!
I'm so sorry Ash, I've been watching and supporting you for years. I will pray for you and Ryan and please keep hope and you will get through this. 💜
Thank you for sharing this with us. I got the same diagnosis at 29, I read “It Starts With the Egg” and applied some of the suggestions to my otherwise healthy lifestyle and got pregnant naturally a few months later. Dont give up hope and lean onto each other. We are all here for you.
I’m so appreciative that you guys decided to share this with us 💕. There is a huge stigma and shame around women having fertility problems, when so many of us are going through similar obstacles to start our families, we shouldn’t have to feel alone or like we are failing as women💕.
Thank you for sharing your story. I don’t think I’ve been able to explain how I’ve felt and you def hit it to the “T”. It’s like I was telling my story. From feeling like I got punched on the pit of my stomach and feeling numb when the OBGYN was telling me my egg quality wasn’t the best, to feeling alone (although I have a very supportive husband and family), to feeling upset and frustrated when getting my period every month. I know a lot of women go though this, but it can still feel lonely. And the “why me?” question comes to mind often.
Stay positive! I wish you two all the best in your journey! 💗
♥️♥️
Ashley, I’m so sorry that you and Ryan are going through this. I’m so proud of you for sharing this with us on CZcams. There is still a chance to conceive!! Believe in the hope and miracles. As I read some of the other comments, I realize there are so many women who have fertility challenges. Your story has already impacted countless women and will continue to do so. I hope you have a glimpse of the ripple effect you are creating on this world. You have a lovely heart and spirit. I pray this is a minor blip on your family radar and that you and Ryan can have as many babies as you would like. Sending love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and care to you both 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am so sorry you are going through this. Please don’t beat yourself up about something you couldn’t control. Desi Perkins has a great series on her infertility/pregnancy journey. I’ve also heard that trying to be less stressed helps a lot. Go on a vacation and enjoy being together. There is still hope, so don’t give up! Best of luck to you both. ❤️
You’re so brave and I’m so proud of you for coming on here and sharing your story. My daughter and I’ve been watching you for a long time and really enjoy your content. Praying for you🙏🏼😊💐
You both are such a strong couple, I don’t doubt that you’ll overcome this difficult situation. It’s hard to see your loved one go through this, but it’s also a good thing not to bottle it up. Fingers crossed and prayers that it will workout.
Sending you and Ryan love and faith. You guys have such a strong and beautiful relationship and will come out strong. ❣️
Thanks once again for being so real and generous. This will make you even stronger as a couple and I just wish you all the best.
I just want to say you are courageous for sharing your story. I understand what you are going through and have comfort knowing I’m not alone either. I felt like a failure for quite some time before I was able to accept I am just not able. To know it should not define who I am and my life. I hope you and Ryan well on this scary and exciting journey. Whatever the outcome, you are still amazingly a great inspiration to us all. Please be kind and gentle on yourself. Take care! 💕
Sending you so much love Ash!! Thank you for trusting and sharing this with us.
Hi Ashley, I'm 33 and have been watching you for years and and absolutely love your channel! I recently went through a heart wrenching break up and recently I cry myself to sleep at night some days because I'm mostly scared of what this means in terms of my ability to have children in the future. Your video means so much, thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with us. This will all work out for you, I know it!!! Thinking of you and Ryan and keeping you in my prayers
Thank you so much for sharing Ashley. I am in a similar situation right now. We have been together for 9 years and have been trying for a while now. I’ve been diagnosed with severe PCOS which prevents me from ovulating myself. I’ve been having hormone treatments for six months now and it is so taxing and hard. Fertility issues are still very much taboo and it is so important we talk about it, so you sharing your story means a lot to me. I send you all the love and strength in this process and hope you will get to be the wonderful mom I know you will be in a while 🤍
I'm sorry your heart is sad. Thanks for sharing such an intimate part of your life. Sending positivity, health, faith and hope your way❤
Thank you so much for sharing this. I can only imagine how hard this is for you and Ryan. But many are going to appreciate you’re story that you’re willing to share. Women go through so much every day and i wish you weren’t going through this. You and Ryan are strong. And your love is strong. You’ll get through this💕
Thanks for sharing Ashley and don’t be sad things will work out, my cousins wife went through several IVFs she was given same news as you and is in her late 20’s, but after few tries they now have a beautiful little girl so keep strong and positive. The human body is such a complex machine stay in tune with it and nurture it- it will just surprise you in a good way. You are a strong woman and will be the best mom 🥰
After watching this video I went to your IG and fell in love all over again with your wedding photos… they are so beautiful and reminded me of the special love we have in marriage. You’re so blessed to have each other. No matter what the future holds, cling to one another. Having a family would be absolutely wonderful, but even if that can’t happen, you’ll always have one another. Love you, girl! Thank you for opening up your heart to us.
You are so strong to share such a struggle. Know that you and Ryan are in my prayers. Y'all will make amazing parents some day, whatever it may look like! Just trust God, He will bless you with far more than you can ever imagine❤️ sending love and comfort.
Hi Ashley, hearing such news is never easy in the beginning but please believe that things will work out for you and Ryan and not to be so hard on yourself. A lot of women including myself feel that we are not normal cos we can't have a baby naturally which is so wrong. The one thing that my fertility journey has taught me is that nothing is in your control and to just be patient and positive. I really believe that things will work out for you and Ryan and am sending you lots of love and positive energy.
You two are so smart, logical and creative. You will use those characteristics to figure this out.
Sending you all the positive vibes your way. I struggled conceiving my first and had to see a specialist. It’s definitely scary and frustrating always asking “why me?!” But months later I brought into this world my first born. Surprisingly conceived naturally and quick with my second out of no where, which shocked me. It’s definitely scary and you’re filled with constant worry. Day at a time and positive thoughts 💜 I believe your mom journey will happen 💜
