The Simple A-Z of Pregnancy Tips and Tricks for Mothers and Mothers to be

I strongly believe that an essential part of pregnancy, or at least definitely in your first pregnancy, is knowledge. Don’t be afraid to read up and watch anything and everything that you can get your hands on. I had DVDs of water births, natural births, breastfeeding guides, and various exercise during pregnancy programmes and, despite not having a birth that correlated with my birth plan, having watched/read/heard these guides really helped me. I found that not only did they give me an idea of what to expect but also (and perhaps, more importantly) they gave me an insight into the lingo, the procedures, the official terminology and enabled me to have more realistic ideas and hopes of how I wanted my labour to be.

In this guide I try to share my thoughts and experiences, and offer guidance/assistance/opinions and I hope that you read this and find something useful within - knowledge is power!

Congratulations, and all the best, in your lovely pregnancy xXx
