| Sleeping should be done on the left side only. It helps if you have a body pillow (4 feet long) and place it under your breasts, belly, and between your legs; $12 at K-Mart or JC Penney. It takes a lot of stress off your body. My bedroom is very simple. I have a bed, dresser, and a small table which is basiclly clear from clutter ( holds a TV and alarm clock). I don't have a rug and my closet is alwasy closed. This is because I'm also allergic to dust (among a million other things) and can't take anything for it durring pregnancy. A humidifier in the winter helps keep your throat moistened at night. If you plan on exercising durring your pregnancy, you will have a much easier labor because your muscles will be easier to use; I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF LIGHT EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY ENOUGH!!! Make sure to keep your heart rate below 120 beats/minute. My mother-in-law bought a pregnancy work out tape for me that I loced. In general, each woman is going to have a different pregnancy, labor and dilivery. Not to mention, each pregnancy for an individual woman will be different. My first pregnancy, I couldn't stand the smell of the mention of peanut butter or tuna fish. The second, I couldn't stand tator tots-excuse me while I gag! My daughter, Chiara Lynn, is perfect...ten fingers, ten toes, very intelligent and she's not PKU. My son, Christopher Carlo Jr., is perfect as well and no PKU...and so much easier than a girl! It is very possible to have a perfect as was a normal baby if you follow your diet and other restrictions put forth by your doctors. I cannot answer all questions you have in one general report, so I encourage you to eamil me with any additional questions you may have. I look forword to hearing from YOU. Danielle M. DeAngelis |
