Thank you for clarifying Francesca.  Sorry I didn't understand at first.

Pregnancy is a very interesting subject for me. My ex-girlfriend and I were pregnant twice and it was a very sad story for us since the fetus grew in the fallopian tube.  The fallopian tube burst and she started bleeding and almost died from it.  It was a very rough time for us and the main thing is we stuck together through those rough times.  Sadly, life had another plan for both of us since we never had another pregnancy after that and we are not together anymore.  But the main thing that I learned from it is, I had to be extra supportive and more understanding during the pregnancy stage because there were certain dynamics that presented themselves during the pregnancy stage that I was not familiar with.  Such as, uncontrollable crying, mood swings, short fusing, lack of energy…  Everyone has to know about these pregnancy side effects and make sure to research them and don’t rely on discovery to learn from them.  It will make life a lot easier once you know.
