Pregnancy questons...

Let me preface this post with this... I know I am not an expert and below are just some of the things that worked for me... hopefully they will work for you too. I am posting this as I have been asked about things related to pregnancy for a number of people. So here's a quick post on the things I found that made mine a little easier, obviously what works for one may not work for another but when you're pregnant, you will try anything that may work so here ya go!

-A body pillow is a must for sleeping; MUST, MUST, MUST! It's great for comfort and for your back.
-Give in to the cravings, you're having them for a reason just try to eat small portions
-Fish oil supplements are your friend; great for back ups (if you get me) good for your skin and hair and statistics show they help with the baby's brain development. If you have problems with the after taste, throw them in the freezer and take them with food. Carlson's brand is what I use.
-If you have heartburn and cannot seem to find anything to ease it, like I did, try this: Hot water with about 2 tablespoons of vinegar, some honey and lemon. It works wonders, doesn't sound very good, but you will feel much better. I tried this only after going through two extra large bottles of Tums and this did more for me.
-WALK, WALK and WALK some more. If there was one thing I did my entire pregnancy was walk! It kept my spirits up, my weight down and it gave my husband and I a lot of time to talk about things as he usually joined me with our dog Shaye.
-I admit I did have a couple of sips of wine while I was pregnant, after my first trimester. I also drank about 100 bottles of Sparkling Apple Juice... the stuff was like crack. If you are craving a little bubbly, try this for a substitute.
-Fun little thing to do: There is a over the counter Gender test you can take... it's only about 85% accurate but fun to do.

Hope these little tidbits help! :)
