When Storm Clouds Form

Pregnancy is an emotional time.  There seem to be many moments when things don't appear to be going in the right direction.  Are you dealing with nausea for days - or weeks?  Are the many bathroom breaks starting to wear on you?  Sleep is becoming a distant memory.

Bigger issues are dealing with doctor's appointments, what will the hospital policies be and how will you cope with everything?  The expenses climb - the anxiety climbs - storm clouds forming on the horizon.

But I was thinking about literal storm clouds tonight.  I see many labors start when there are big storms. The change in the barimetric pressure can cause the water to break - so during some of the worst storms - families and doulas are heading to a hospital.  But it also makes for a great story. 

Just as a storm passes and clears the air - emotional times of pregnancy pass and settle into a calmer time.  So literally as the "sun will come out tomorrow", keep moving forward, have a confidence about the future.  When storm clouds form - a bright sky is in the future!
