Common Pregnancy Worries

Even if you are not usually a worrier, being pregnant can turn you into one, at least temporarily. It’s only natural to worry from time to time because you can not exactly see what is going on inside your body as the pregnancy progresses. I’m pretty sure that multiple times during each of my pregnancies I placed my hand on my belly and said “Is everything okay in there?” Worrying can make you feel isolated sometimes. It may be helpful to know that many other pregnant women are concerned about the same things that you are. Here are three common … Continue reading →

Insurance Blog Week in Review – March 25 – 31, 2012

Posted on by

Every week, the Insurance Blog Week in Review is the blog to read if you would like a quick summary of everything that posted in the past week.

Exercise During Pregnancy

Everyone knows that exercise during pregnancy is a good thing, if your prenatal care provider feels that you are healthy enough to exercise. Of course, when you are pregnant, exercising may not be something that you feel like doing much of the time especially if you feel nauseous or tired.

The second time, I exercised regularly from the time that I discovered that I was pregnant until a week before my son was born, when my midwives decided that it was not safe for … Continue reading →

Week Twenty Seven

Week twenty seven has been largely uneventful in the world of pregnancy. I began the week with the same determination to maintain my pregnancy food journal and exercise routine. It has gotten easier to stay on track and I do not feel as deprived as I did when I started keeping tabs on everything. I feel like I am back in control again and that is incredibly empowering and it gives me even more motivation. This week I officially put away all my pre-pregnancy clothes. Thankfully the weather has continued to be fairly cool so my fall/winter maternity wardrobe is … Continue reading →

My Favorite Pregnancy Book

Maybe it is not anymore, but when I was pregnant, it seemed like “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” was the most popular pregnancy book out there. I wasn’t a big fan though. There were lots of questions in that book that they answered that did not apply to me. Although, there was a lot of helpful information, the format of the book did not work for me. I wanted a little more detail about how my baby was growing, along with answers to every pregnant mom’s questions. So, with my second I went looking for another book, and found … Continue reading →

Fun Pregnancy Facts

That’s an increase of 40%! Cesarean risk goes up as women age, and with all the woman putting off children for their careers, perhaps this has something to do with the increase in c-sections? The average age for a first time mother is 25-29. It used to be 21 in 1970! I was 25, so I guess I fit the bill! My childbirth class teacher reported … Continue reading →
