Jessa Seewald on Pregnancy

  Jessa and Ben Seewald sign autographs at the Southern Women's Show
Charlotte, North Carolina; August 29, 2015

Jessa Seewald is only six weeks and one day away from her November 1st due date. For the next two weeks, we will be posting her responses to the questions you posted to the blog. We admire this gal's ability to continuously give glory to God and to credit those who have made an impact on her life.

What has been the best part of pregnancy? The worst part?
Jessa: For sure, one of the most amazing parts of pregnancy has been feeling those tiny (and sometimes powerful) little kicks! It’s seems amazing how we can find ourselves so in love with someone who we’ve yet to meet face-to-face. 

Of course there are some aspects of pregnancy that can be difficult, such as morning sickness (which I was blessed to only have to deal with for about 4 weeks), and heartburn, and the shortness of breath that occurs when baby is cramped up in there and pressing on your lungs! But I cannot complain in the least when I see dear friends who have suffered multiple miscarriages, or unusually difficult pregnancies, or even infertility. Even when things in pregnancy seem difficult, I can’t help but think of others who are dealing with so much more. This really puts things in perspective for me.

    The baby isn't pressing on your lungs, just your diaphragm.

    Yes thank you for understanding, as I had 4 miscarriages in 6 years. Eventually, I carried my son to term. I had "morning sickness" 24/7 - but was so happy to have him!! Cynthia
