When you imagine the month of May, what images come to mind? I think of colorful flowers, Memorial Day picnics, and signs that read, “School’s out!” Mother’s Day has recently passed us by, and Father’s Day is just around the corner. Vacation season is ramping up. May is the perfect time to celebrate the dawning of summer, and it seems to be a customary time to celebrate family as well. But what if you’re currently experiencing an unexpected pregnancy? If that’s the case, you’re probably not in the mood for fun in the sun, and spring/summer holidays like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day may be triggering some complicated feelings for you. Hang in there! You’re fully capable of navigating this challenging season with courage and confidence. Support is available!
