I woke up this morning with that "Okay, I'm starting to have enough of this" thing. Today is 34 weeks after I realized I was pregnant and got learning from internet blogs about getting help with teen pregnancy . Just 6 left (hopefully). My grumpiness (sore back, cramping, overall unmotivated/lethargic feeling) reminded me of a blog post I wrote about being pregnant the first time around. I was probably right around 34 weeks that time, too. I've definitely handled things much better this ... Read More about Revisiting My 1st Pregnancy

Pregnancy and Weight Gain
Day 2 of my 30 posts: Pregnancy and Weight Gain. Last pregnancy, I gained 47 pounds. For my not-so-in-shape body, that was too much! I had horrible back pains starting around 18 weeks.

As parents, I believe we owe two things to our children: health and opportunity. Our baby's health begins the moment we ovulate/conceive. You want to eat healthy, take vitamins, limit heavy-lifting, remain active (without pushing yourself), avoid alcohol/tobacco, and If you already develop and addiction, visit Klinic.care. Most especially, get yourself a medicare insurance coverage. We strive to treat our bodies better than we ever have before to protect what is inside. I have given Lydia ...
