Growing up I had a lot of battles with my body image, acne, and painful unpredictable cycles, however I did not know anything about PCOS. That was until I was officially diagnosed at the age of 18 right before starting college. I began to learn a little bit more about the diagnosis and was put […]
My husband and I met when we were just 16 and 17 years old, in 2010. We very quickly became good friends and our relationship blossomed to more, a few years later. We got married in October of 2019 and wanted to wait a couple years before starting a family. We had no idea when we
My name is Destiny Segler. I am 32 years old and from Texas. My husband and I have two boys, Carson and Camden and one on the way who is also a boy and due in July. Last year, we were pregnant with a sweet baby boy named Callum. He had beautiful big lips and

My name is Emmalee, and on March 3rd 2024 we lost our son at 33 weeks. My husband and I have a toddler and in the fall of 2023, our family was unexpectedly growing. We found out we were pregnant with our second child in August of 2023. Shortly after finding out about our baby,
My husband and I started trying for a baby at the beginning of 2021. We were both healthy and young so infertility wasn’t something that we even considered would be an issue. After a year of trying I went to my OBGYN and a blood test indicated that I had PCOS. Initially we were told
Entering Motherhood My journey to motherhood seemingly began pretty quickly, but the innocence of being a first time mom was taken from me. In January 2021, I was shocked to find out that I was expecting my first baby. I was thrilled but also terrified of the unknown. As the months went on, it continued
‘It’s worked!’ I said to my husband Simon, one cold February morning holding out a white stick for him to see. We both stared at the two lines; one fainter than the other but unmistakably there. ‘I’m pregnant.’ I had not expected to fall pregnant so quickly, for no other reason than I knew it
