What will pregnancy be like in 2008?

Pregnancy has been around since the beginning of time. I guess Eve was the mother of us all and we don't know too much about that except that she had sons. Wonder who their lives were?? Anyway, we learn more and more each year about pregnancy and the developing fetus. We still have the classic problems of morning sickness, strange cravings, uncomfortable sleeping, swollen legs, feet, and extremities and worries about how the baby is developing. We also have worlds of new information about when the fetus is developing various body systems and body parts so that women can take the proper pre-natal vitamins and eat the most nutritious foods. But do they? I believe that most pregnant women do the best they can but with the pressures of life in 2008, it's not easy. So, what is easy? I'm sure you know my answer...singing to the unborn child every night is an easy but powerful thing to do. Research from all over the world documents the lullabies sung by the mother increase the unborn baby's sense of calm and well-being as well as the mother's sense of well-being. Are you afraid your voice isn't good enough? Well, the fact is that your baby hears yor voice every time you speak or laugh or cough or sneeze. Your voice is that most beautiful sound that your baby hears simply because it is connected to his feeling warm, safe and secure. Try singing just a little something. it doesn' even have to be a lullaby! If you don't know any tunes, try my lullaby CD. You can get it here by download or you can order the CD. I play 20 different familiar tunes on the piano so that you can learn them and them sing them in your own voice and your own key. Try it! You'll be glad and so will your baby!
