Tips from the beginning...

Let me start by saying, I have 1 baby. So one pregnancy under my belt - obviously I am no expert. But I had a great...(we ARE talking about pregnancy here)...GOOD pregnancy and labor experience because of some good tips I got. Plus some good products I tried out. So why keep it to myself? So I'm starting this blog from the beginning, quick pregnancy tips --

1. Sleep whenever you can, in whatever position you can. My favorite sleep tip? It's all about the pillows; 1 behind your back, 1 between your knees, 1 under your belly.
2. Take your prenatal vitamins. If you are trying to get pregnant, start taking the prenatal vitamins immediately.
3. Exercise. Even if it's just walking around the grocery store, it will help.
4. Drink water.
5. Lotion up.
6. Eat healthy, snack a lot. PLEASE do not use the 'ol "I'm eating for 2" excuse to over eat or eat crap. You're feeding a baby for goodness sakes. Think before you eat!
7. Nauseas? Try fruit. Week 7-9 I lived on fruit, water, Ritz crackers and Sprite.
8. Talk to someone, get excited! No one should be prego alone, it's too overwhelming. Share the news with a female, buy a onesie, take those progressive tummy pics that you criticize on Facebook.
9. Keep a journal. Record how you are feeling, cravings, advice, pictures, Dr visits...when it's all over you'll be glad you did.
