I suppose that every big life event has the potential to make your personal baggage feel heavier. I remember feeling totally freaked out when I was approaching being engaged. It brought up all these insecurities about my weight and how I felt about myself.

Now as we are TTC, I have been surprised by baggage I thought I put down a long time ago.

This morning I had some mild stabbing pain for a very brief moment. On one hand, part of me gets excited that maybe it's a good pregnancy sign. But a much larger part of me thinks..."Oh no. You shouldn't really be experiencing pain. Last time we experienced pain like that we had an ovarian tumor that needed to be removed surgically."

This baggage is kind of cramping my style and stealing the joy from my TTC Journey. But luckily I surround myself with some good traveling companions. This morning I see my acupuncturist. (She has some AWESOME points for anxiety: http://www.nuhs.edu/kim/2012/3/12/transitions-and-change/)
I see my new therpaist tomorrow and I think I have an OBGYN appointment in a few weeks. (I need to call and check).

If you feel like you need to let go of some TTC baggage- you can leave it right here at the baggage unClaim. Or if you aren't ready to let it go yet, maybe we can just unload a few items to make it a bit lighter. Or if you just aren't ready to have to deal with this baggage- Just know that you aren't alone. You aren't alone in feeling scared or insecure. You aren't alone if TTC makes you want to cry more than smile.

You aren't alone. And don't be afraid to reach out to wellness professionals that you think could support you through this journey.
