Car Seats a Must

Check your state law regarding what they require concerning child safety in cars. From the time you take your new born home you will need a car seat. In the beginning the seat will be facing backwards for infant safety.

Most states have an age that children must stay seated and belted in their car seat for their own safety.

Mood Changes

Have you ever heard it said that pregnant women are serene and contented? Are you, now that you are expecting? If you are, you are blessed and an exception to the norm.

Many pregnant women cry easily. Many go through a wide range of moods. And fast mood swings are not uncommon.

So, how do you handle your moods and keep your friends friendly? Simply share the truth of the situation with folks who offend you. "Labile" (pronounced lay'ble as in label) is the word that describes these quick mood changes. Say, "Im' sorry I bit your head off for offering me ice cram, but I'm really labile today." Your friend will understand. She may have already been through it herself.

Hormonal changes are the cause of these mood swings which will go away several months after childbirth. Some women experience them as late as three or four months after they have had a baby. As your body "gets back to normal" you will begin to feel like you felt before your pregnancy.
