We asked and you told us:

What is the best advice for a first time pregnant mom?

1. Trust your body, it was made for this
2. Trust your instincts
3. Enjoy the bonding time
4. Join a new moms group
5. Concentrate on what to do when baby comes, not how he/she will get here
6. Be prepared to feel an out of this world, overwhelming amount of love for your little one (and don’t worry if this doesn’t happen instantaneously)
7. If you plan to breastfeed learn about it before baby comes as it is not as easy as it looks
8. Enjoy every moment of your pregnancy, even though you are probably very excited for baby’s arrival
9. Things don’t always go the way you plan, so don’t stress over the plans
10. Don’t take other peoples opinions to heart, you will receive a lot of them!
11. Don’t forget to ask for help when you need it
12. Relax and enjoy

And the top advice for a pregnant mom is: Sleep as much as you possibly can!!

Mommy Connections offers a Mom to Be program, but don’t let the name fool you, this is for couples, dad or other supporters. It is designed to connect and create a support network before the babies are even born!

The next program for Leduc & Beaumont is April 13.
