Tip #1

Take each day as it comes. Don't try to plan your or your child's entire life ahead of you. It is impossible and you will drive yourself insane trying! Rather, enjoy each day as it arrives and remember to stop and smell the flowers, point out a pretty bird or just say "I love you".

Fact#3

When you're pregnant, everyone thinks they have shares in your belly that give them the obvious right to touch and feel you and talk to your unborn baby.

It was the strangest thing. Complete strangers would come up to me and want to tell me all about their birth experience or give me some sort of advice on how to be a good mother, or speculate about the sex of my child based on how I was carrying.

My advice: for fear of offending old ladies, smile and take it all with a pinch of salt. At the end of the day, when it's just you and your baby, it's your decision anyway!
