How to get pregnant

As someone who travels for work, Kristen Sarah of Hopscotch the Globe is always on the go. But after a year-and-a-half of trying to get pregnant, she found that changing this one thing helped her get closer to what she and her husband wanted most: a baby.

When Sasha Exeter was 36, she got pregnant for the first time. And while she endured many hardships leading up to having her daughter Maxwell, she realized that being a first-time mom at the age she is now is how it was always meant to happen.

After an emotional, two-year-long journey to baby number one, to getting pregnant within the first month with her second kid, Natalie Preddie learned that no two pregnancies are the same.

Blogger Emma Finlayson never expected to have twins, so when she found out that was the reason her second pregnancy felt so different, everything made sense. But then came everything else that comes with having twins.

Jamie Scrimgeour's first pregnancy happened quick and she was thrilled to add to her family of three stepkids. Now trying for her second, she's found that answering the question "so when are you having another baby?" isn't that simple.

The road to baby number two wasn't easy for Trisha Enriquez of No Tummy Mommy. She encountered many obstacles along the way, including gestational diabetes—something she never imagined she would go through.

When Christine Kissick found out she was pregnant, she thought she would have a healthy glow and that her pregnancy would be a breeze. The reality was much different and she experienced severe morning sickness throughout all trimesters.

Nikita Stanley, co-founder of the blog The Rebel Mama, has always been a planner. Even though getting pregnant at 25 wasn't what she had envisioned for her life, the role of Mom turned out to be the greatest gift she could've ever received.
