I bought my first issue of Your Pregnancy in March last year. I was one month into my pregnancy and couldn’t wait to learn as much as I could, as this would be our first child. I pored over every page of the magazine. Then, one day after work, I discovered I was bleeding, and I immediately knew something was wrong. We’d lost our precious little baby. All our baby hopes and dreams were shattered. I stuffed my YP magazine and all the other baby things I’d collected into the back of my cupboard to try ease the pain. But, several months later, I’m pregnant again! Filled with excitement (and anxiety) I dug in that cupboard and discovered my outdated copy of YP. It gave me new hope, got me excited and eased my anxiety. The information was still very relevant. I went straight out to get the latest copy and loved the added surprise of the newborn guide booklet. I won’t miss another issue! I can’t wait to meet our precious baby and we’re naming her Zarah.
