Expectations Versus Reality During Pregnancy

In our over-filtered social media world, I started looking back on what pregnancy was for me, and just how different it was. It wasn’t that long ago, but I didn’t have a smart phone and Instagram didn’t even exist yet! I thought about expectations versus realities and how we place a lot on ourselves to think and be a certain way. Is it us? Is it the world around us? Is it a bit of both?

I have seen a few trends on what pregnant mamas are focusing on and I put together a few friendly suggestions to relieve a little stress. I wrote about it over on MomResource.ca and you can read the full post there. I’d love to know what you think and if you think I went too far in my advice. Let’s hope not!
