Prenatal Vitamins I Recommend

Centrum Materna

Most Difficult Food To Give Up

Wine

Mandy says: "Truth be told, I didn't really give it up, I just cut down to a small glass every once in a while. There is no evidence anywhere that light drinking causes fetal harm. Fetal alcohol syndrome takes about five drinks a day, every day."
