Hi again!
So after 4 years of knowing I was infertile, today threw a curveball at the life I was building without kids in the picture: I’m pregnant.
So, I’m astounded, but also worried as I have two horses and literally just last week bought a filly. For those who have been there, owning and training horses while having small children, how did you do it? Obviously I may not be able to ride until I recover from childbirth. But all too often I see people sell their horses after having a baby. I don’t want to do that and want to try my hardest to keep the life I had planned. My horses mean too much to me and I’m already suffering from the riding restriction.
So I guess I’m asking how to cope and any experiences or advice you think I should know. Thank you!
