If Only I'd Known About...Part 2

Motherhood by  Stanisław Wyspiański

The second thing I wish I'd known is that breastfeeding does not necessarily come naturally.  You have to learn how to do it, and there are organisations who can help you.  Towards the end of my pregnancy I joined an online birth club - a group of women all due around the same time who could provide advice, support and  shared experiences.  One of the ladies I 'met' there has since started her own blog and campaign to dispel some of the myths surrounding breastfeeding and provide another online community for advice.

You can find her blog here.

If only I'd known about...Part 1

There are many things I know about now that I wish I had known before I got pregnant.

The first is a book called 'The Yummy Mummy Pregnancy Cookbook'. I got a copy of this recently from a library sale (a great way to pick up cheap books - I'm lucky in that my Mum works at a library so I get first choice!)
It provides helpful advice for pregnancy nutrition (including foods to get you through morning sickness), maintaining a healthy weight and recipes that I still use now.  I thoroughly recommend it.
