Navigating Your Pregnancy

It’s right there on the test; there’s no denying it, you’re pregnant—congratulations! For the next nine months (or less, depending on how far along you are) your body will be responsible for the growth of another human being. It’s truly a miracle. For most women, pregnancy marks the beginning of the most profound life change they’ll ever experience. So sit back, relax and get ready for the ride of your life!

Not only does pregnancy affect you physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Your body is going through a huge transformation as your child grows, and your identity as a woman is also taking a turn. There are approximately 6 million pregnancies in the U.S. each year, according to the American Pregnancy Association, and each one of them starts with some anxiety and fear of the unknown—and there is a new worry around every corner.

Early in your pregnancy you may not feel your best, but taking good care of yourself and working through your feelings and worries in these first 30 days, can set you on the way to a happy, healthy and enjoyable pregnancy.

No One Said Being Pregnant is Easy

Depending on how far along you are, you may not have experienced some of the more commonly-known pregnancy symptoms, such as heartburn or swollen ankles, just yet. But it’s likely you feel exhausted—sometimes so tired you can barely keep your eyes open; and hormone fluctuations may be causing you to feel irritable or weepy. During the first trimester (the first 12 weeks), you can also expect breast tenderness and/or pregnancy nausea. Though it’s commonly called “morning” sickness, in reality, it can strike any time of day or night; and it affects more than half of pregnant women—some estimates say up to 80%.

Eating well, taking good care of your body and using other various remedies will stave off some fatigue and stomach upset, but many pregnant women find that they just have to live with the symptoms. The good news is that most nausea subsides in the second trimester, and many women experience a boost in energy around four months. First-time mom, Andrea Stockton of Grand Rapids, MI, was exhausted, irritable and nauseous right up through her 15th week. “Like clockwork, at the beginning of the 16th week I suddenly felt a boost,” she explains. “I felt just awful through the first trimester, but in the second, I was really feeling great.”

If your fatigue doesn’t lessen during the second trimester, talk to your care provider. It’s possible that an iron deficiency or some other condition could be making you feel tired. And if your nausea gets so bad that you can’t keep anything down, be sure to seek help from your doctor or midwife. Severe, debilitating nausea isn’t uncommon in pregnant women, and it can be treated.

DR Grace Ude IS THE ONLY SPELL CASTER TO TRUST!(greatspellofsolutiontemple@gmail.com) will be of great help to you.
I never believed in spell casting but After 4 years of dating my hobby, he left me because I lost my womb . I felt like my life has come to an end, I almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to the spell caster called Dr Grace whom i met online after my friend Tracy told me about how she helped her. She testified about how Dr Grace brought back her Ex in less than 3 days and reversed the effect of her lost womb, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Grace's email address. I decided to give Dr Grace a try. I contacted her via email and explained my problems to her. In just 3 days, my Hubby came begging. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than before, to God be the glory, am pregnant now, Dr Grace is really a gifted woman and i will not stop publishing her because she is a wonderful woman... Come to think of it I didn't pay much and all I have to do is send her little 250 dollars which she used in providing the materials used for the spell. Even my pastor said that God works mysteriously, that some women are used by God to help others. If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems for you. Contact Dr Grace anytime, she is the answer to your problems. Here's her contact (greatspellofsolutiontemple@gmail.com)
