Pregnancy Info – Where to Get Questions Answered

Executive summary By Amber Torija

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Lets face it though, if you are or ever have been pregnant, you know that once the initial joy wears off the questions begin to flood in.

I am a mother of three beautiful children and all of my pregnancies were as different as the children that they produced. I have many “first time mom” friends and since I have been through it three times they consider me a savant on the subject of pregnancy. My husband laughs at the library of pregnancy books that I have stacked in the house. Being pregnant goes in stages of emotions. Once I reached the latter stages of pregnancy I worried about how I would take care of this new precious gift. Some would refer this to being the “nesting” phase of pregnancy.

Like I said I had numerous questions regarding pregnancy and was always searching for the answers. My “first time mother” friends that I talked about have their own list of pregnancy questions that fill their brains. The best bet if you do have a medically related question is to ask you Doctor. Some questions refer more to the changes in your body is experiencing; pregnancy books and articles are great to have these questions answered. The web and pregnancy books are a great way to get your questions answered while remaining anonymous.

If you ask the question to your doctor and you don’t feel right about the answer you get, seek another answer, like I said you and only you know your body the best. My second piece of advice is that even with pregnancy aches and pains enjoy and savor every moment of it.
