Hi everyone, Before I got pregnant, I have a lot of question in terms of being pregnant. But know, as i'm experiencing being pregnant, I've learn more and more about having a baby.. The thing that marked in my mind was 'Pregnant people should take it one day at a time'. You don't have to rush things. I understand you just want the best for you and your baby.. But plain and simple, we now live in a world of best doctors and new technologies. Everything has an answer. :D What about your pregnancy? :D

Congratulations on your new baby! One of the best thing that ever happened to me was getting pregnant. My husband and I were very happy when when learned that I am pregnant. We were both excited to have a baby and we do every measure to make sure that our baby will be healthy. I ate lots of fruits and vegetables. The only difficult thing was having morning sickness. But it only happened in my first two months of pregnancy and everything went well after that. I am careful with my diet when I was not pregnant and the more so when I got pregnant. I know that my baby is getting nourishment from me. I also walk every morning with my husband during my 9 month of pregnancy so I will be able to have an easy and fast delivery.

I remember that when i was pregnant I was taking the time to rest if I was tired and eat if I was hungry ect.., And shouldn't have anything disturbing the peace of being pregnant, doctor can be a pain sometime,and nurse, that is why last time I had my midwife helping me all through the pregnancy and I give birth at home,which i enjoyed because i was in my stuff didn't have to go to the hospital,I give birth very fast(25 minutes) an my midwife was in the surrounding when I had my contractions. I would do it again with a midwife, I was 42 at my last one and never had any problems.

Ow. Good thing everything went well. :) I'm afraid to do it with a midwife since I also have a heart problem. I need to be monitored by my cardiologist as well. 25 minutes was fast, i hope i can also deliver my baby as fast as i could. thanks for your reply beenice! ;) God bless you and your family! ;)

I got pregnant at the age of 32. I had always chosen not to have children because I dread fear the pains of labor. My first pregnancy was something I never expected. I had the fears even until the 8th month and have always told myself that I am only torturing myself if I don't try to take my fears away knowing that all the other women, many, who are smaller than I am made it. But I always was very careful with what I ate and made sure I nourish my baby well. And I got through everything well. My second was more fearful. I had placenta previa and always feared I'd lose my child even my own life especially when I bleed at times. I just made sure I was positive at the times. I had mylot friends who were also there to console that I will make it and that God will be there for me. It is a good feeling to be pregnant. To have a life in your womb to take care of and anticipate the time a lovely baby will come into your life to add color to your world. Take care.

At first I'm also afraid, but i realized too, other people managed to do it, of course i know i also can... i will.. :) And it will be worth it. I also have that placenta previa issue before, but after my check up this February--my placenta was now positioned to its proper place and the baby's developing okay. :) We should just trust God and believe in Him. :) It is really amazing to have a life inside our womb especially when they move. :) Thanks Thetis! God bless you and your family! ;)

hi there eneria, I know am not supposed to be a part of this discussion being a man but since i am a nurse maybe i could just pitch in some of my knowledge. First thing is proper nutrition i guess your doctor already told you that. Exercise that is appropriate for pregnant women, it is important that you exercise since it will help in making your delivery easy and your baby and body more prepared for the total experience of pregnancy Daily, daily monitoring of your baby's movements it is important so that you know early on his habits and of course his health in your womb and lastly Regular consultation... I hope i was informational.

i remember when i was pregnant it was the best feeling in the world i was so happy everyone treated me so nice. my husband would always rub my belly every time i would fall asleep and my husband would have his hand on my stomach my baby would always kick him every night.and when i first saw my ultra sound it was so amazing i thought that when a baby in your stomach that the baby only sleeps the whole 9 months. i was so wrong when i seen the ultra sound my baby had her hands covering her face like she was shy. then when she finally took her hands out of her face and she stared sucking her thumb all crazy me and my sister where just laughing those where the best moments of my life.

The sweetest. :) I was also the apple of my family's eyes today since i'm pregnant. They always want to rub my tummy, especially my fiance, when i was asleep i can feel his hand on my stomach. Well, I just have to enjoy those attentions given to me, for sure after giving birth.. it will be redirected to my little one. :D Thanks pebblez8989. :D GOd bless!
