My take on pre-natal vitamins...

So even before I knew I was pregnant I figured it's good to take pre-natal vitamins ahead of time, so I looked up what should be in them, compared and then decided to get Wegmans brand pre-natals... Once I found out we are expecting, I realized I will need DHA now as well, someone recommended Ocean Mom's DHA to me, so I went to 'Vitamin Shoppe' and got them... 

At my first doctor's visit I got a prescription for OB Complete pre-natals, comparing the two, the OTC ones clearly win!! I find it odd that they win in comparision, but my intuition tells me that the ones I picked, are the right ones for me, so I let my doctor know... after all, always remember it is your pregnancy and your intuition is probably the best guideline...

So I am now taking:

4 Wegmans pre-natals
1 Ocean Mom's DHA
1 Nature made Iron (if needed)
3 Nature Made Cranberry for bladder health
2 Probiotic live bacteria in the am

Try to find your own balance and do what feels good, women need to trust their intuition...

I'm a blogger now...

December 12th 2013: Today I've decided to start a blog... what is my topic you ask? Let me explain... starting with what I stand for... I stand for positivity, but never to forget the 'debbie-downer' moments of life, the dark or sad moments, the ones that make you proud when looking back, that is where your strength comes from... I am all about learning from my mistakes and taking a closer look... progressing as an individual, learning life's lessons... 
I am going to combine the positivity aspect of me with my adventures as being an immigrant, being a newlywed and expecting new mom...

I'm going to write about different cultural aspects and traditions, love for my new home, reasons why I am not living where I was born, the married life and mommy-to-be feelings/choices/ideas/insights etc.

All in one place... welcome to...
Not just another baby journey...
