By falling into this trap, you are doing both yourself and your children a disservice. Tags: parentingartcraftsquality timeteaching childrencreativity
One of the best ways to prepare for labor and giving birth is to have a general idea of what to expect as the day approaches. While no two birth stories are ever exactly the same, understanding the stages of labor can help you prepare for what you will experience physically and emotionally.

Many moms-to-be always seem to face the same dilemma: should they stay at home or return to work after their maternity leave. Some moms have a choice; they can afford to stay home but are worried about what it will do to their careers. They may even have the option of hiring great in-home care but then can be strapped with the guilt they feel of leaving their children for the pursuit of a better life for their family. Then, there are the moms that don't have the choice. They must return to work to be able to put food on the table.
