Comments (0) I never knew what doula was until my traumatic Caserean section with Mya. I did actually come across it somewhere while “preparing” for labor but somehow I completely dismissed the idea. I mean I had all the support I needed – my wonderful husband so I didn’t think I really needed one.

Fuzzy warm socks and slippers, check. Lip balm, check. Camera with extra batteries, check.
All the lists tell you the same basic things to bring to the hospital. What you’ll find here is a list of things they forgot to mention, or some of the same things they mentioned but for different reasons altogether.

Flu is a more common condition in the winter months because the air is dryer and the flu virus tends to linger longer in the mucous membranes on the nose. Central heating in the winter also tends to increase this risk.

Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a woman’s life that brings with it a glorious blessing after nine months. A few fortunate women sail through their pregnancies and their bodies bounce back without a hitch or any additional weight gain. For the majority of the women though this is not the case. The key to getting the weight off is diet, exercise and massage chair therapy.

It is perfectly normal and healthy to gain weight during pregnancy. This ensures that both yourself and your baby are being nourished properly. Weight loss after pregnancy can at times be slow for new mothers and be very frustrating. It is important not to start a crash diet shortly after you have had your baby. This will lead to health problems and possibly post partum depression. Many new mothers don’t realize, but even after pregnancy your body still needs an ample supply of nutrients to recuperate and it needs even more if you are breastfeeding. Breastfeeding mothers on average use an extra 500 calories per day, so don’t rush things.

Clothes for moms-to-be can be expensive if you have to purchase many different items for only nine months of wear. However, if you plan ahead, you can actually stretch your maternity wardrobe.

Being pregnant is nine months of tedious caring for the baby’s health. But after the baby is born, taking care of the baby will prove to be more tedious. It is therefore important and wise to prepare for a baby’s coming. It is after all a major responsibility.

While this might seem like something for your wife to do, it’s important that you, as a supporting cast member, be very involved in making the decisions now on how labor and delivery will unfold. Some decisions must be your wife’s alone, like whether to have an epidural or allow for an episiotomy, and in those cases, your role is to be supportive of her decision. But there are other decisions that may even fall uniquely to you as well.

Can I safely become pregnant and have a healthy baby?
Lupus, commonly called Systemic lupus erythematosus (S.L.E.) is a disease of the immune system. The immune system protects the body from bacteria, viruses, and other foreign invaders. The immune system forms antibodies that attack normal tissues and organs and joints in the body. These antibodies are called auto antibodies and they lead to pain and inflammation because the antibodies attack its own cells and tissues which results in this inflammation and pain.
