Advantages: know what lays ahead for you

Disadvantages: hearing horror stories

Me and my husband tried for a long time to have a baby , and the longer it took , the more we tried our best to improve our chances of conceiving. We got ourselves healthier , and fitter , and I took Folic acid ( which they recommend if you are trying for a baby ). It wasn't until my husband lost about 3 stone that we achieved our goal . I was at last pregnant. But nothing prepared me for the changes that I would go through with my body and mentally. I am pregnant now for a second time, and second time around it is better knowing what to expect. I think that the best preperation a first time mum can get is buy talking to other pregnant women or women that have had children. Every pregnancy is different, but maybe a few books would have helped me to understand first time around what was waiting for me.

Summary: having a little knowledge in what your body will go through is vital
