how was pregnancy for Reagan? I know you talked about the birth, what about like how they found out? what the overall experience was like?
There were different reactions to the pregnancy especially within their family and friends but Brett was over the moon about the baby yet Reagan was very nervous about the whole thing. However, with a good partner, they decided to keep the baby and began planning everything with of course Brett taking it too seriously and Reagan making sure everything was perfect.
Everyone, including their parents, were like but still supportive and caring even if there was teasing on how it wasn't planned by the overplanner with a dumb blonde.
It's kinda like any other pregnancy with back pains, morning sickness, sore boobs, heavy weight carrying, odd cravings and the of course, heavy mood swings and hormones up and down though it did get slightly easier overtime but only for a bit.
Reagan would constantly worry whether or not she was a fit parent or if she was gonna carry full term due to her past alcohol and drug abuse with no sleep or food. And even doctors were concerned about the baby even being healthy though she did stop about 4 years before her pregnancy. But still no risks here.
She couldn't overwork herself, skip meals, meals had to be strictly what the doctor orders, medications, restrictions on pain medication, and the overall exercise that every women expecting would need and this added to the already unnecessary stress Reagan and Brett were going through.
Everything from when they first found out to birth was planned, mainly by Reagan yet of course, Brett over did it many times like their gender reveal, baby shower, the baby's first pictures, and the baby's welcome party (that Reagan didn't want she thought it was just gonna be a baby shower and then done) but hey it did show he and everyone else cared.
The birth plan of course, didn't happen like at fucking all. Since she was on a lot of restrictions and stress, her, Brett and their doctor organized a birth plan for her which was: C-section, minimum epidural before birth, visitors were fine after the baby was deemed healthy, no Rand, and induction as soon as possible.
When her 8th month was coming around, she gave birth I would say 5-6 weeks early and they had no choice but to get the baby out naturally. Reagan was also denied epidural even an hour after birth because the placenta needed (and didn't) come out so she was in intense pain especially with both her and the baby not handling it well.
And because they were weeks early, they almost die and that's the main reason why she got a birth plan. All is well though after a week recovering and their all able to come home healthy. Yet still, anyone who even wanted to breathe near the baby had to have all their shots and not be sick. Yeah it was STRICT its like you're holding the little baby and then realizing you can kill them with a single sneeze (or thats how Reagan and Brett felt like).
But no, the baby was fine but everyone overthinked, over dramatized and unfortunately, doubted the baby's immune system but you can't blame new parents. (She's fine I swear to god nothing intense happened other than chicken pox) (which we'll get to if you want)
Despite her being very healthy with incredible smarts and athletic abilities, Addi still got hypoglycemia.
Oh and her pregnancy cravings passed on to Addi. Like she'll get a snack and then Reagans horrified when she see her eating a pickle with raspberry jam, all served on a cold ass tortilla
