I thought I’d share our meal plan from the past two weeks that kept us out of the grocery store the whole time!
Would you like to avoid being sleep deprived even though you have an infant or newborn baby?
Do you just need your baby to be on a sleep schedule that works for your family, and avoid as many tears as possible?
This video explains how you can make this happen!
As mothers, there’s always something that grips us. There’s always something more we could be doing. It’s a vice of motherhood. The worry. The planning. The attempting to control what we can because there is so much in life with children that is out of our control. The burnout.
If there is one thing we’ve learned about potty training it’s that there are no set rules!
We asked Dr. Beverly Huang ND what women can do to help keep their stamina up during labor and delivery, especially if you only want to drink liquids or eat ice. She gave us this natural Labour Aid recipe that only takes about 10 minutes to prepare. It tastes good and is amazing for you no matter what you feel like putting into your system – it’s also a great energy drink for keeping your energy level up during athletic activities!
I like to be prepared as much as possible for things, and this preference was very evident during my two pregnancies. The plan during my first pregnancy was to get all my ducks in a row for labor and delivery two weeks before my due date (because first babies always come on time or late right? Wrong!). Much to my surprise, my little pea in the pod was born prematurely, three weeks early to be exact. Needless to say, I completed my birth plan and got my hospital bag ready to go at the beginning of my third trimester the second time around!
Here is a sample packing checklist to help you prepare for labor and delivery.
