1st time pregnant

[ericajane]

I just found out that I am pregnant. This will be my first baby. I'm excited, but also very nervous. Any words of wisdom for a first-time mom-to-be? Also, I am a leg amputee, and I am a little concerned about how my disablilty may affect or may be affected by my pregnancy. Anyone with a similar experience?

Congratulations!!! I'm a ftm as well...my advice would be to be proud of your bump...indulge while you can and just embrace pregnancy...its a hard yet beautiful thing!! You will be a great mommy I'm sure of that :)

Congrats!! Pregnancy is so exciting! I'm going to give you my tip of advice, do lots of stuff and have lots of fun with your significant other before you start getting really big and irritated at everything. Also, if your significant other is in the picture make sure to appreciate everything he does for you, its just as hard for him, they have to deal with us ;) I'm guessing you have a prosthetic leg, it should be just fine, in fact you have one less foot to get swollen and hurt! Best of luck to you!

Don't pay attention to what most people say to you. People seem to say the stupidest things to pregnant women. Enjoy every moment of it. I have had a hard time during this pregnancy. Not because of the pregnancy but because of joint pain, osteoporosis  and fractured ankle. I've been in a  wheelchair for a couple of months. I'm trying to get up and get walking but its hard and with this big belly even more difficult. My babies will be here in less then a week so things will get better for me. With all of that I still enjoyed being pregnant. I will miss not having babies moving and growing inside of me even though they keep me awake all night. Good luck to you. I hope you have am easy pregnancy and delivery.
