Nurturing Children Through Progressive Parenting


Pregnancy

There are many things that you can do for yourself during pregnancy to insure the safest outcome for you and your child at birth. The obvious are eating right and taking care of your body by exercising, and maintain a positive outlook on your pregnancy and childbirth yet to come. This is a time to introduce yourself to your unborn child, take time to talk to your baby and listen to what your baby is telling you. In these short nine months you can learn a great deal about yourself and how gracious our god/goddess is by blessing you with such a miracle. Mothers have a special intuition that is within the soul of our being. Learn to TRUST this voice and never have a doubt that you are doing only the best for you family. Never feel guilty for guilt comes only when you made a decision that you you didn't want to make in the first place. Love yourself and your child will love too.
