Week #13

I have to admit that I have taken only one prenatal vitamin and one Omega 3 since my last blog.
And I have so much less time to improve...
So I am upping the stakes... I will be 35 wks on Sunday, almost time to check my GBS (Group Beta Strep) status. (Approximately 1/3 of women are colonized with GBS. It has no effect on the women, but can be potentially harmful to the newborn).
My OB/Gyn friend told me about this product "Bio K" that is a probiotic to help maintain the natural flora of the vagina. I really hope my GBS is negative so that I can stay home in early labor without worrying about getting to the hospital for antibiotics. Ok, back to the mission... I am going to drink the "Bio K" nightly and take my prenatal BEFORE I brush/floss my teeth.
So, if I don't take it, I can't brush. Let's see how that works...
I called the hypnotist Teresa after our meditation walk. There is a four-week course starting April 28th that I signed up for...
Should be very interested... I have been reading my spiritual midwifery book and practicing mindfulness.:)
Thanks to this class!
