I have two sisters who are both parents. The eldest with 4 children, 2 boys and two girls while my other younger sister has 3 , 2 boys and a girl. Seven in all, that when together in one house, sometimes they drive me nuts! But children are blessings, children are to be loved, children are to be treasured. Though I am not a parent myself ( I only have a baby doggy) I can understand how being one is. It is a lot of hard work. A 24/7 job that some say, the hardest job in the planet.
I can still remember the very first time my eldest sister got pregnant of her first born. At a young age, pregnancy was quite scary for her and needless to say, parenting as well. During those days we did not have a computer nor internet connection thus advices from family members (both those who went through pregnancy themselves and even those who did not, the uncles and dad) were heard, coming from all corner. But sharing of true experiences from current pregnant women from same age bracket was needed. That my sister was not able to get.
But times have changed and with it came along the wonders of information that we can find on the internet. These days, women who are pregnant for the first time have parenting and pregnancy resource to learn all that is needed to become a happy pregnant women because of the interaction with other pregnant women, and the news, advices they give to each other proved helpful. With parenting and pregnancy resources , how I wish my sisters had the chance to experience this website during those months when they really needed answers to their parenting questions. Like the times my nephews or nieces will not sleep properly, this website provides such article: “Sleep Patterns for your baby at different ages” or when the babies were sick, my sisters were panicking because of the lack of hows and whats, articles such as this would have been a great help “First aid” , isn’t that too important that every parent should know?
Also another thing that I know my sister would have enjoyed are the videos they feature, learning by not just listening but also watching how the informations were provided. I found this video on “What to do if your child chokes“. Even I will not know what to do if I have a baby on my arms that is choking! Glad there are parenting videos such as this giving tips to adults who need them.
What about you? Are you carrying your first child right now? Maybe this website will come handy to you…so why not check it out to find informations about pregnancy and parenting..also take part, receive newsletter and have contact with others, by simply registering. Have fun!
