    Pregnancy can be a beautiful experience for a woman and her family. With all the different body and hormonal changes, it’s no surprise the million and one thoughts that can go through a woman’s mind during her first pregnancy.  For starters, my biggest concern during both pregnancies has been the actual birth of my children.
