The first time mom’s survival guide

I’m a first time mom living in a foreign country where English is not an official language. I remember that when I was pregnant, I worried a lot. I thought I wouldn’t be a good mother able to take care of a newborn. Looking back, I got a lot of help from BabyCenter and I still visit the site from time to time.

I just love Babycenter as it has all the information one could ever need from preconception until your child is 9! I love the birth clubs most of all. I could interact with other moms and read about their experiences too.

Another website I frequent is Ask Dr. Sears. I’d seen Dr. Sears and his family in Dr. Phil’s show. The FAQ in the site is really helpful for nervous moms like me.

Being in a foreign country and not being in constant contact with the women in my family made me just glad that those sites are available. They’ve been saving me for more than two years now!
