BabyCenter.com – invaluable resource on parenting

It was during my early second pregnancy that Harvinder introduced me to BabyCenter.com newsletters. Over the last eight months and even now when I have little Siya in my arms, I’ve turned to it for information, tips, advice and more.

I found it one stop shop for parents. Some of the highlights I find useful are:

  1. Weekly newsletter during PGcy kept me up-to-date on “what’s-happening-with-my-baby”, advice about what best to eat / avoid when, what possible symptoms to watch for, what exercises / activities to take up etc.
  2. Medical conditions, their symptoms, possible causes and things you can do to reduce / avoid them – This second PGcy was a really rough ride for me. Low b.p., excruciating lower back pain, infections – you name it, I had it. At least knowing more about what was happening to me, why and how I could ease some of the pain helped a lot.
  3. Forums / community – For each article they have comments from community members. women share their experiences, give tips and advice and overall boost each other’s spirit.

So if you are a trying-to-be parent, would-be parent or having kids & toddlers go take a look at this great site. It’s worth spending some time on!

Celebrating the new (little) woman in my life…

It’s that time again when I am ecstatic about being a woman. The wonder of nature that created a whole new "someone" through me 4 years ago has worked its magic again. We are blessed with another little princess – Siya.

Siya Please give your blessings and best wishes for our little angel :)
