Morning sickness was right at the top of list of things I didn't like about being pregnant. I was so sick during one of my pregnancies, my doctor was literally begging me to gain weight, "Eat whatever you can keep down, we'll fix it later." I was really excited when a friend told me that York Peppermint Patties always made his wife feel better. I tried those, but in the end it didn't work. I might have been better off with an herbal tea like this one. This Morning Wellness Tea blends Ginger Root, a well known nausea soother, with spearmint, peppermint, chamomile, lemon balm and a twist of orange peel for flavor. It's a great excuse to sit down, put your feet up and take some time to make yourself feel better. You might not love it as much as bag of Peppermint Patties, but then again, you won't have to "fix it later" either.

One of the most annoying things for me when I was pregnant was not being able to drink. I'm not a crazy drinker, but once I passed my "morning" sickness, I found myself missing a glass of wine with dinner or having a drink with my friends when I went out to a nice restaurant. A new book has just been written to help the moms to be with this issue. Preggatinis: Mixology for the Mom-to-be is a drink cookbook that is all alcohol free. But the recipes, such as Mocktails for Moms-to-Be and Hot Buttered Mum's Rum, look a pretty interesting and fun to drink. There's also an option for de-virginizing the drinks for anyone not pregnant that you are drinking with. Also check out a similar book, Margarita Mamas: Mocktails for Moms-to-Be, which also looks promising with recipes that sound more similar to what we were drinking before becoming pregnant.

I must admit that while I was pregnant, I didn't think too much about what was going on inside my belly besides the fun kicks and hiccups that would always occur. It never occurred to me that playing music for Andy could be beneficial, but there is research that supports that claim. If it is something that interests you and you'd like to play music for your unborn child, you should consider using Bellysonic. It is a pouch with speakers inside and looks much like a fanny pack with an adjustable strap. You strap it around your belly so the music is close to your child. It has a place to hold your MP3 player and a place to plug in your head phones so you can listen too. You can go about your daily life easily while wearing it which we like. Make dinner, sit at the computer, or go for a walk while wearing it!
