Excessive saliva during pregnancy is terrible. Not only does it ruins our images, it also influences people's first impression of us.

I have been having excessive saliva for weeks now. Sometimes, I need to bring a bottle along whenever I am at home or go out with friends. Sometimes, I'd forget to bring the bottle with me. I even went to the fitting room to take out a sanitary napkin from my bag, spitting the saliva into it since that sanitary napkin absorbs 'water'.

This is a particularly difficult subject to discuss because it’s easy for one to come off looking like a smug know-it-all when discussing it. Even just the tittle “Common Parenting Mistakes” taken the wrong way looks like a sanctimonious line dripping with condescension.

It’s a lot easier for me with the families of my students because they know me well enough to know that I’m not like that. Besides, they actually pay me for advice where as you’re just reading some nut’s ranting on the internet.

Whenever the temperature drops, my stomach craves soup. Thankfully, this soup is easy to prepare with the ingredients you most likely already have in the kitchen.

No matter how much control you prefer to have over situations, you can't control every aspect of your pregnancy.  While I certainly knew this to be fact, it hit me on a whole new level today.  

Son,
With how uplifting my love is for you, today it makes my heart ache.  At about 10:00am, I felt an unusual pain in my uterus.  Between the violent shaking of your body and the contracting of my uterus, I was scared.  Upon doing a bit of research, many women have described this feeling the same way I had... a seizure.  Shortly after, I contacted a friend of mine who's daughter has a neurological disorder and is prone to seizures.  This friend described experiencing the same thing while her daughter was in utero. 
I called the doctor's office just to be safe and was told to go to the emergency room immediately.
