I had my follow-up appointment with my OB-GYN yesterday… I can’t believe it’s been six weeks or so since I’ve given birth.. nor can I believe how much Little M has changed in the past six weeks or so.. Thank God everything has healed well and I can resume life as I was pre-prego! That [...]

Pregnant people gain weight. That’s a given. Breastfeeding helps the get the weight off. That’s what I’ve heard. Six weeks into this pregnancy, and my impatience is asking me why the weight isn’t flying off as fast as I would like. In all honesty, it only has been six weeks since I’ve given birth. But [...]

The cervical exam caused some bleeding yesterday and I sent myself into Labor & Delivery just to make sure that everything was ok. Thankfully, everything is fine.. she’s still [...]

I kinda freaked myself out this past weekend.. All of a sudden, I thought to myself, “What if our daughter is born, and she looks nothing like the name we have planned for her?” My cousin and the fam were over, and so I totally asked that question.. Apparently, when my cousin was pregnant, they [...]

Last week on my Facebook page, I brought up the question of Epidurals.. Most people I have come across have sworn by their epidurals.. and I also know people that didn’t have one at all.. The main point they all said was that it was ultimately up to me to decide.. which is true. It [...]

A discussion amongst my coworkers caused me to re-evaluate a question I had been contemplating since I found out I was pregnant.. To store, or not to store cord blood… Cord blood banking is something that can be seen as a great insurance policy in case our daughter gets sick at some point in her [...]
