Eating Habit For Pregnant Women

Filed under: Women's Health — admin @ 9:39 am

My sister got excited about the fact that I am going to accompany her until the time she delivers her baby on May or June. She’s excited because I can bring her favorite food there when I arrive and that’s what she has been waiting for. She said that she misses the foods here and that she wanted to have her baby taste our local food at least in the full term of her pregnancy.

Talk about eating for your baby, most women do that, eat a lot because their mother is telling them that they are eating for two, for themselves and for the baby. But here’s the news, I saw an article online where they say that this ain’t right.You should stay eating healthy but only add up a little more calories and only after the first trimester. Lots of details can be found here. I told my sister, not to get too excited when we arrived, she might deliver early if she do.

A Worried Mom

Filed under: Child's Health — admin @ 8:50 am

I am very happy that I have my own family already. I think I am going to be a great mom like my mother use to be when she was still alive. I had the perfect life, the perfect husband for me and the perfect son for me. I couldn’t ask for anything more at all. When I gave birth, I delivered a very healthy baby, or so the doctor’s told me. When my son was about 4 months old, I brought him to a new pediatrician and he told me that my son might be having an undescended testis all the while. She told me not to worry now because in most cases, this will descend before he turns one.

After that check up, we brought him to another doctor for a second opinion and I was told the same. I needed to wait one more year for it but things have change since then, I got busy, I forgot about that and now he is turning four and I am willing to do the procedure. When the doctor told me that he really need to have a surgery, I panicked and didn’t know what to do because . The higher the testicle, the less successful the procedure. However, the procedure has a high success rate overall. I ma really holding on to that rate and I hope that you pray for me and my son that he can go through this procedure.
