How did you feel when you first discovered that you were pregnant?

Were you overwhelmed? Did you have happy tears in your eyes? Or were you speechless as you were not expecting it?

We all have our own pregnancy stories. And we treasure them close to our hearts. Isn’t it?

While some of us have a smooth pregnancy, others have a complicated one. After all, as they say, no two pregnancies are the same. We all have our share of ups and downs.

Are you trying to conceive for quite some time? Have you missed your period recently?
