Look at it this way, we mammal moms are the only ones who can carry offspring. It is the most wonderful feeling to know that there is another little perfect body growing inside a tummy. And how it got there is another revelation.

During the next nine months you are going to be talking to and seeing that little being kick the inside of your belly and think, wow, I am growing him/her in my tummy.

Creation is a miracle, you are the catalyst, you are the only one in the whole world who will bring that lovely, little being into the world, maybe looking just like you.

You will hold that little being and think just how wonderful creation is, and you will nurture and hold that little one so tightly and just love him/her to pieces.

Your sustenance, your breast milk is the only nutrient this little fella will really need. What an experience, just talking about it like this makes me want to go get pregnant again! Not possible though, have to wait for grandchildren.

Good luck, new mom 2008, you will love every minute of the next nine months, you can't do anything wrong now, your are invincible... are are WOMAN!

For you:Every pregnancy is different so there is no one way to do things. I would suggest to relax during the first few months. Then once you get into your second trimester and are feeling good, start some shopping, go on trips, do things that will be harder with a child, and get those things out of the way. Make some time for yourself, get a pedicure, decorate the nursery, have fun. In the third trimester, really relax.

For your health:Make sure you eat healthy and do your exercise. Stay on your vitamins. Drink lots of water... lots!

For your husband/boyfriend/significant other:Let him particpate. Go pick out things for a registry together. Fork over the baby name book and let him highlight some that you didn't suggest for him. Let him talk to the baby. Have him take pictures every week of your tummy so he can see how you are growing.

This is one of the most wonderful times in a woman's life - Just Enjoy it! I like to read books. Its fun to pick up what to expect when you are expecting or a girlfriends guide to pregnancy and read about other peoples pregnacies. I also like Baby-gaga.com. You can compare bellys.. hehe... good luck!

Don't be afraid to ask for help... rest and sleep when you can. Make sure you can see the blue sky. Enjoy being pregnant cause when it's done you will miss it. Be active and do the things you enjoy doing that aren't harmful to baby. It's OK to stress a bit. It's actually good for baby. Writing in a pregnancy journal helped me... we'll it was actually this site that helped me a lot. I got pregnant, talked about dr appt, found that I was with twins, and gave birth all while talking on this site. If you look through my asked questions you can see a record of my whole pregnancy. My twins are now 9months old, and I'm still here...
