The Parenting Corner: Pregnancy and Childbirth 

Myself during my 9th
 month of pregnancy



Pregnancy

Oh, the volumes I could write about those special nine months. It is a time when a woman suddenly realizes the presence of a new life growing inside her, as well as exactly how much her skin can stretch. It is a time full of hopes and dreams, being uncomfortable, being scared, and of being a woman in the truest sense of the word.

Psssssst! I have a little secret of my own!

Childbirth

When a woman has a child, she goes from being a laboring woman into a new mother. The experience is certainly unforgettable, and while it is a physically painful thing, it is also a time when a woman becomes completely focused on herself and her child.

Inside the dark womb
Inside of our mother
