Food for thought that I really need to eat.



 


Healthy Tip
Say "Please"
Being a strong, empowered woman does not mean you have to be "supermom," or that you have to do everything yourself. One definition of the word empower is "to make someone stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights." Being empowered means accessing your inner strength to take control of the choices you have in your pregnancy and birth. Part of empowerment is recognizing when you need help and asking for it.
As a mother, there will be times when you will need to turn to others for help and support. It may be getting help with laundry and household tasks after the birth, or having someone look after your older kids while you take a nap with your newborn. Or, perhaps you need help now to get your house organized before baby's birth. People want to help, but they can't read minds. You may have to tell them what you need. Remember as a child when your parents taught you to say "please" when you asked for something? Sometimes as adults, we need to relearn that it's OK to ask for help, and that if we do so politely, others will gladly step up.
Find empowerment in pregnancy and birth. Know your limits and get help when you need it.
