Let me begin first by congratulating my sis-in-law who recently gave birth to her first baby this week.  Having being there for her during her maternity stories, hospital concerns and first time mom jitters became my incentive for writing this post.  How soon have I too forgotten the cravings, anxiety and emotional ups and downs I had experienced during my pre and post pregnancy stages, that no books and/or prenatal classes had prepared me for.

So if you are planing or expecting your first child, this post is for you…here’s the top items that “No One Tells You Before and After Giving Birth”
