Star Giveaway #4 -- What to Expect When You're Expecting

May 7

Written By

Whether it is a double pink line or a blue cross, they both mean one thing -- you're expecting. And as brilliantly exciting as that is, it can be daunting. Daunting? Heck, terrifying!So what do you do?I know that I called my best friend right away. Between screams of excitement (from her) and terror (from me), these words rang out. "Go to the bookstore now. Buy What to Expect When You're Expecting." And I did; she is my best friend, after all. And of course, it was good advice.If you are not familiar with these books, they are something of a Bible for the first time mom. If you have a question, this book has the answer. It is broken down into weeks addressing questions ranging from morning sickness to constipation and everything between. In other words, it goes there.And I needed that. I had a tough pregnancy -- a very tough pregnancy. Morning sickness? Hah! Try all day sickness. I felt like I was on a boat for the first five months of this "blissful" time. Then the lower back pain came. Followed by early labor requiring hospitalization and bed rest. Needless to say, I did not expect any of that.And while my OB was always my first source for info, it was so awesome to have a resource at my fingertips. Because even if you have an "Expected" pregnancy, there is still so much that is unexpected. Before having children, it is impossible to believe the changes that can and do happen to your body. For example, my breasts grew six sizes. SIX sizes! Unfortunately, this was not a remaining side effect. In fact, they shrunk a size with each pregnancy -- talk about unexpected!!!And if you called me and asked me what to do, I would say the same thing. Go get this book. And Dr. Smith's wants to help. They are having a dynamite giveaway for any expecting mom.Dr. Smith’s is giving one lucky reader a 6 month supply of Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment, a $25 Visa gift card and a set of 3 books from the What to Expect Series: What to Expect When You’re Expecting, What to Expect The First Year, and What to Expect the Second Year.Two runners up will win a 6 month supply of Dr. Smith’s.So that's three winners!
