Preparing For Pregnancy

By Rey Vetangelo


Preparing for pregnancy can be an extremely exciting time for a couple. There are many things that a couple must do to prepare, and there is much work to be done both before and after conception that a couple can undertake together. Preparing for the arrival of a child can and should start even before the pregnancy test shows a positive result.

There are multiple things that a couple can do to prepare for the arrival of their new child and several ways for the mother to prepare herself for the nine month trial of pregnancy. Pregnancy can be tough, and that is an understatement. But those mothers who take the time to prepare a head of time can, if nothing else, position themselves for a better chance at a smooth pregnancy and child birth.

This is the time to take on some of the chores that she usually does. Give her a break and let her relax. You may make dinner or just make the house clean so she can relax. Either way she will love it and love you for it.

As the community learned about Alanna and her children, they were amazed. Alanna's 13-year-old daughter suffers from a very fast-moving form of muscular dystrophy. This month alone, she had to go through 20 hours of two surgeries to straighten her spine. Her other children, Mitchell, 18, Brooke, 16, and Riley, 15, were all living in the small home, just trying to survive. During the winter months their toilet would often freeze over because of the lack of heat in the bathroom.

A foot massage, a neck massage, whatever massage you choose can help her relax and feel loved. Pregnancy can add some pains to the body and the only relief sometimes can come from long baths and massages. Make sure that you treat her to both and give her a break so she isn't so achy and stressed.

4 months later Alanna was able to have the baby with less financial strain thanks to the help of good neighbors and community members. We can all make a difference in other's lives especially when we are standing on stable ground ourselves. Sometimes when we lack that stability and try and help it can be catastrophic. This is the purpose of having a good affordable family health insurance program that can keep you on your feet, running to save the rest of the neighborhood.

Women like Alanna are a dime a dozen and this story really teaches us the value of community. Reaching out and making friends is the best way to create security at home.
