I called my cousin this weekend to congratulate her on the new pregnancy. She’s actually due one day after me, Jan. 14. This is her first child and I am 10 years older than her, so I was prepared to give her the most essential unwanted advice I could muster. Like all older women who must advise the young, I managed to tell her about the must have bra-extender. She was thankful for the advice, but sensing I had more to tell her, she quickly got off the phone with me. So Katie, here’s my top five of must have/dos as a new preggo mama.
1. Bra extender – allows you to breath while continuing to wear your existing bras
2. Brazilian wax – if you don’t already make sure you start maintenance now. Because before you know it, some hot-ass anesthesiologist giving you an epidural happens to stick around for the doctor and notices your grow-out. Argh!
3. Fiber – there is not enough fiber in the world for you right now. Watermelon seems to work the best for me.
4.Lemons – put a squeeze of lemon juice in your water and it helps with nausea
5. Work out – don’t go crazy, but this is not the time to be a lazy no matter how bad you feel.

Did I miss something? Because I’m 14 weeks into my second and could always use new advice.
