The baby is coming! My honey and I went on this long business trip, with a final destination in Sydney, for 2 weeks. It's true that Sydney in July is facing the Winter but that's the kind of Winter that is just nice and pleasant. Just imagine it, with 20'C temperatures, sunny and a little bit of a breeze o help you going roundabout. It's an awesome city, with a great laid back atmosphere, amazing landscapes and much to do and see. Suddenly,  the main reason to be there was gone. So we decided to cut the trip short and head back to Europe. Goodbye, amazing Sydney. What a bummer! Not only we were going to miss out on the city but the (very long) flight back and sleepy day afterwards but the flight would also be overlapping with the fertile window. What is the fertile window? I also didn't know but, if you are trying to conceive, you will find out about it very soon. It's those days of the month were you have the highest chances of getting pregnant. Hence, you don't want to miss a bit part of these days to fly across the globe and stress about packing. In fact, this meant we were most likely not going to make a baby this month. Still, love happens and we enjoyed our amazing time together 🙂 A couple of weeks later, we are having a tough family week, with lots of intense emotions and not enough rest. It didn't surprise me at all when the PMS started kicking in, a bit strong and different than usual. The period was a day...

Not before I could take the pregnancy test. But it was clear: the symptoms were there and every single part of me was telling me to connect to my womb where life was just beginning. When the period was expected to came, nothing happened. It was the confirmation of what I sort of knew already. How exciting! I couldn't wait to know for sure, share it with my honey and let the fireworks begin. I was singing and dancing in my mind. The next day came and so did my period. A little discomfort, some warmth and that was it. Dreams crushed in that moment, looking at the drop that told me loud and clear it wasn't happening. I went on denial, looking for all sources of information online that would tell me that, yes, you can bleed and still be pregnant. The implantation bleeding was one of the options. In case you are ever in this situation, note that it tends to happen over a week before the period is expected and it's a bit different. As I was trying to hold on to any hope, the period came in all its glory, leaving no room for doubts. I started crying and hugging my belly as if saying goodbye to my unborn child. Oh, that hurt. My baby wasn't coming and I wouldn't be able to hold him tight. I...
