My niece is pg & I have bben buy her books on this subject! Thanks for all the wonderful. Sound therapy is important too! I bought the the Zenses Rainforset for Nintendo DS so she could use it to relax. I also downloaded all the soundtracks for Rainfroset & Ocean Zenses for her! I enjoy them myself too & it seems to calm the kids. I love the info about things that go on the body can get into the body/bloodstream. I completely agree! I got her some orangic body lotion & bath scrub too. Thanks

Great advice! I am so thankful for prenatal vitamins, because I know that I don't eat everything I should right now (currently pregnant). I took prenatals for at least a year before this pregnancy, because of infertility problems. But it's always felt good - like I'm doing something for the baby, even before I was pregnant! Thanks so much!

Please go easy on the ginger. In high amounts it can be dangerous during pregnancy. Sip until you get relief for that nausea. If a cup doesn't do it, be mindful to be careful. Try avoiding liquids while eating (i.e. drink your liquids 20-30 minutes before or after eating your meal). Don't let your tummy get empty by eating more tiny meals. Happy babies to all!!!
