People Love To Tell Pregnant Women What To Do

by Tenilleupdated on September 30, 2019August 24, 2019Leave a Comment on People Love To Tell Pregnant Women What To Do

Thanks, but no thanks. If there is one thing I learned during my pregnancy, it’s that people absolutely love giving you their unsolicited advice.

How to plan for the big day. One of the questions I always got asked when I was pregnant was “What’s your birth plan?” At first, my witty answer was always “I plan to give birth.” However, I was asked this question so many times throughout the course of my pregnancy that I started to …

A Real Mom’s real experience flying with a baby. There are a few things that every plane passenger has experienced at least once; the arm-rest hog, the guy who leans his seat all the way back, the gassy passenger, and last but not least – the crying baby. Let’s be honest, these ALL suck. You …
