Hi there, this is Eric's mom speaking. This page lists out sites
that I feel have helped me learn about pregnancy and motherhood.
Although nothing could prepare you emotionally and physically for
the actual thing, doing some reading might help you to mentally
prepare and expect fewer surprises. Also, take all the advice and
knowledge you gained with a grain of salt. Always, if in doubt,
consult your doctor. He or she will be more than happy to help you.
Information and support
- ParentsPlace.com
What I liked most about this site is the Q&A column on a
wide variety of subjects related to pregnancy and parenthood.
This site is very much pro-breastfeeding, though, so much so
that it could leave those who couldn't breastfeed feeling
depressed.
- BabyCenter.com
I wish I had used the info in this site earlier. The site is
much more understanding when it comes to breastfeeding and
doesn't leave you feeling guilty if you are one of those people
who can't breastfeed successfully, like me. I love the
personalized info and weekly e-mails on the progress of your
pregnancy + parenting.
- Oxygen.com
A wonderful site for women. The chat rooms are especially
useful, so do go ahead and find a support group for pregnancy or
for advice on baby care and breastfeeding. The chat groups are
very supportive groups and helped me go through my first weeks
of postpartum while I was home-bound.
Graphics for building a baby web site
- Microsoft Clip Art Gallery
You will need at least a version of Microsoft Office 97
installed in your computer before using any of the graphics. I
used this site to build the background and navigation buttons of
this site.
