Special needs for the week

• You will start to need to go into see your doctor more frequently –
probably every two weeks from this point on. Be sure to ask any
questions or relate any concerns that you have at each appointment.
Special concerns for the week
• To combat constipation, make sure you are drinking plenty of water
and that you are getting enough fruits and vegetables. If you are
having troubles with your bowel movements, try to increase your
exercise if you can as well to keep things moving.

Special tip for mom

• Make sure to enlist in a childbirth class, if that’s something that you
want to do. These classes can dramatically reduce your stress about
the delivery and help to lessen your overall pain.
