Choosing a Healthier, Happier Pregnancy

A good walk around the neighborhood can do wonders -- not only for how you feel but also with how the body processes glucose and absorbs nutrients. Flexibility, strength and endurance can increase as well.

Have you tried alternative exercises in pregnancy? Some women have added Tai Chi or Yoga classes to their week. Classes that are geared to physical needs of pregnant women are best.

Short on time? A few minutes per day of deep breathing, meditation and prayer can reduce stress, balance blood pressure -- even help with time to rest!
