Let’s Talk About the Week in Review

This week I touched on some intimate pregnancy issues, and some that may affect a woman in early stages of pregnancy.

Let’s Talk About Pregnancy Intuition 2

Boy or Girl? I’ve been pregnant two times, and with both babies I chose to wait until their birth to find out their sex. I think waiting to find out is like unwrapping the ultimate present (and I also think that ultrasounds are dangerous – but that’s another article).

Or what if you could only become pregnant three days out of the whole year? What if your pregnancy was nearly impossible to detect? Would you be willing to deal with these inconveniences if I told you your baby would be the size of a stick of butter at birth? Talk about an easy delivery! Unfortunately, it’s not an option for you unless you are a Giant … Continue reading →

When to Trust Your Gut

Researchers from the University of Leeds took a look at instinct and found that often, your first impulse is the right one. Intuition isn’t just some bolt from the blue. It may actually be a lightning-fast brain response to a situation. In super quick bursts, your brain can compare past experiences with current situations to give you an idea of how to proceed. We don’t realize it’s happening, so the idea seems like instinct, inspiration, or intuition. The brain does a lot of things without our conscious effort — useful things like breathing and other body processes. Intuition may just … Continue reading →
