Jacqueline (JACQUE25): "I found some great friends on the April board. We all seemed to "click"; we all seemed to have thing in common, the same fears, the same excitements. I ran into a few problems during my pregnancy, such as a cyst that exploded on my right ovary very early on in my pregnancy and these ladies that I had never met before prayed for me and my baby, my 5 week old bean at the time, when I was 32 weeks and had a fall, they prayed for me and sent out messages of hope and love and understanding. We all knew one another's due date, fears about delivery, about parenting about life. I could NEVER have gotten through my pregnancy without these beautiful women and their wonderful hearts. Well when Lukas was born on April 27, 2006, as perfect as can be, the first people that I wanted to tell were these women, my backbone, and Lukas' "aunties" as far as I am concerned. Anyways, I guess that BabyFit made my preconception, pregnancy, delivery and my parenting a whole lot easier, and made me feel a whole lot less of a freak...lol...knowing that I wasn't alone and that there are others like me out there." Wrainbeau (SLAVE_TO_GAVIN): "In the beginning I was really truly bummed out about being pregnant. I was overweight and working on losing weight when I stumbled on this site. I loved it instantly, and every day I would come in and put in my food eaten and my goals. I wasn't very good about posting (mostly I couldn't figure out how), but I would come on everyday and I would read what others had posted. My son was due to be born April 9 but he came early on April 4. Once someone told me how to post I was on it!! Now I am a regular poster on BabyFit and I have forged a lasting bond with many of these ladies. When my home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina these ladies were there for me, pulling for me and praying for me. When I was 700 miles away from friends and family and starting a new job these ladies were the one constant thing in my life. No problem was too big and no situation too dire for us to come together and pull for each other. These woman have been and inspiration in my life they given me advice, they have been a listening ear, they have been there when things were tough and when things were good. We have shared laughs, tears, ups, and downs. Mostly we are close because pregnancy is a lonely and isolating experience if you let it be. With the April 06 mommies, I didn't feel that way. Instead I felt connected to a whole group of women that were going through the same thing I was. I could laugh and cry and rage and vent and strut my stuff with all of them and I was never once made to feel that I didn't belong. Or that my concerns were stupid or unimportant. If faith is the bridge over troubled waters, then the BabyFit April 06 mommies are the hands that built that bridge for me." Continued › |
