I know that it's possible to fall in love at first sight because that's what I felt during my first pre-natal ultrasound. It's hard to describe how amazing it is to see your baby on that screen moving around, sucking a thumb, etc. Maybe this is the hormones talking, but ...

I've been a fan of Preggie Pops for years. In my pre-pregnancy days, I used them to cope with motion sickness and early morning plane flights. I used to carry them in my purse in case of emergency. A few years ago, I handed one to a friend suffering from ...

One of the downsides of pregnancy can be the effect it may have on your skin. Pre-pregnancy I had such healthy skin. I haven't had a zit or blemish in years. One of the first signs of pregnancy for me was a change in my complexion. One day, out of ...

You have to avoid all sorts of stuff during pregnancy. Giving up sushi, wine, soft cheeses (brie and blue cheese) was tough...but doable. I'd ditched the hair dye and cut myself down to one cup of tea a day. I'd even resigned myself to a stuffy nose since I can't ...
