ENTER TO WIN Passes To "What To Expect When You're Expecting"





Before I became pregnant with my first child, I expected that I would be super happy and excited to be caring my own child. Little did I know that pregnancy came with a wide range of emotions such as being terrified, overwhelmed, excited and scared! I was terrified that something was going to happen to my baby while I was pregnant, and that I would never get the chance to meet her. Nine years and two kids later, those fears are all laid to rest and a new set of emotions take their place!

"What To Expect When You're Expecting" was the book chosen as my reading manual for the next seven months, as it is with many other expectant moms. That book has been scripted for the big screen, and comes out on May 18th. Thanks to Jennifer Parsons with Wyeth LLC,and brought to you by Centrum Specialist Prenatal, Enjoy Utah has five pairs of tickets to give away to the advanced Salt Lake City screening on Monday May 14th, 7pm at The Gateway!

  1. I expected smooth sailing! LOL. I'm sure you can figure out how that went.

  2. I expected (with my 3rd) to have major heartburn. Luckily #3 was easy on my esophagus (of course he didn't have as much hair as heartburn king baby #2 - I guess the old wives tale in my case was true). :)

  3. I expected things to be a lot easier than they were. :)

  4. With my first child, I expected delivery to go somewhat "normal" and had heard all about my mom's deliveries so I thought it might be long but I didn't expect to go through 8 hours of regular hard labor only to have my son NOT come out (they pulled off part of his scalp with the suctioning trying to get him out) and then they pushed him back in and took me down for a c-section. Luckily for #2 and #3 kids the doctor knew that my pelvis was shaped so that the baby enters the sunny-side up and can't come out without being turned!

  9. I expect the rest of the 4 months I have left of my pregnancy to be just as miserable as the last 5. I've done this 3 other times so I know!

  10. I'm not sure what to expect! This is my first baby! But I am thrilled and I hope the next 5 months will treat me well :)

  11. I expected that, since this may very well be my last pregnancy, everything would be sunshine and lollipops. Between having my head in the toilet for 4 months and finding out I have a dramatic uterus it's been far from that.

  12. I expected my 4th pregnancy to be as smooth sailing as my first 3. But I was wrong. It ended in miscarriage. And my 5th pregnancy was completely different than the first 3 as well. I am now in my 6th pregnancy and I had no expectations but it is entirely different than any of my other pregnancies.

  14. I have learned to expect the unexpected! After 3 beautiful (relatively) pregnancies & births, and one miscarriage, I thought baby #4 would be smooth sailing! Not so! Kidney stones, nephrostomies, and catheters for the last trimester! I figures all my other births were easy, too! Not so! Blood cots, not folding fast enough, losing lots of blood, and having party of the placenta taken out (with no epidural, mind you). She is here, safe, & beautiful!

  15. I just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Sunday. Due to a stroke when my now 7-yr-old was 8 1/2 months old and a miscarriage almost 4 years ago, I was in constant fear this child would not make it to full term. I relied on this featured book throughout both pregnancies.

  17. After 3 relatively easy pregnancies & deliveries, I figured #4 would be a cinch. First an early miscarriage, then we were pregnant again. This baby was a doozy! I looked 6 months pregnant by week 12. The last trimester was full of kidney stones, nephrostomies, and catheters. Birth time came & precedence had me expecting smooth sailing. No epidural- blood cots, not dilating fast enough, losing lots of blood, & part of the placenta having to be scraped out.... Not fun at all. But she is here now. Beautiful, happy, and safe. And I would do it all again if I had to!

  18. I expected things to go a lot easier this time (I have 2 other kids). However, it's been 5 years since my last child and it's like I'm pregnant for the first time all over again. All the fears and complications have come to surface like they did with previous pregnancies. I'm constanty online asking questions and trying to find comfort with symptoms and fears through others in forums, etc. I also expected to not show as quickly (I'm almost 3 months and my belly is HUGE). I was able to "hide" my pregnancies until at least 5 months with the other 2 kids. I guess it comes with being older and due to the fact my body has "been there done that" previously :)

  20. I expected the 9 months to fly by. It was the longest time of my life. I expected to love being pregnant but that did not happen. I loved my babies, but pregnancy is the worst.

  22. I expected to be late like my mother, so she went out of town 2 weeks before my due date and my daughter arrived 12 days early! My next was 10 days early, so I expected my third to follow suit. Nope, 3 days late. I have no idea what to expect this time.
