Mommy Method

You get home from work, go through your daily routine, take a shower, and get in to your nicely made bed.  All the while, you believe that it’s just you…and maybe another person in your bed.

With your guard down, you think all is well in the world…then you wake up.  Once awake, your throat hurts, your eyes are watery and itchy, your skin is irritated, and your wheezing.  What is going on?

Getting the right daily amount of nutrients you need doesn’t have to be a science or a stress-factor in your life.  By getting back to the basic needs that the body has, you can accomplish optimal daily nutrition without making it another chore to add to the list!

What you need:

1.  Vegetables

It is no secret that smoking is harmful to your health.  If you are pregnant, the harm is doubled.  There are ways to quit smoking if you don’t want to use the patch, the gum, or the hotline.  Try these out and remember that it takes 21 days to break a habit so don’t get discouraged.  If you fall off the wagon, don’t give up, get right back up there!

How do you know if you’re pregnant?

There are tell tale signs to let you know that you pregnant, or at least that buying that $10 pregnancy test might be a good idea!

“Oh that’s normal when you’re pregnant…”

That’s what the doctor says, that’s what other moms say, that’s what your mom says.  For a while, I almost began to wonder if I should tell my doctor about anything since EVERYTHING that was unpleasant was normal. So what happens when something is not normal?  How do you know if what you’re feeling is normal?
