Wives Tales – Do you believe it?

In my first pregnancy, I like to listen to every advice I could get from anyone. For me, it is good to know about the do’s and don’ts advices but some really makes you think twice. I’m sure you’ve been told by one person or others how to live. Am I right? It will becomes worse the further along in your pregnancy you are. Some people will want to tell you that you should not bend, or walk in a rush, not to carry an older baby in case you hurt the one in your belly or put yourself in labor. As the pregnancy gets closer to the due date you’ll be told many different home remedies of how to put yourself in labor.

Nowadays it’s not easy for me to go to the bank since I have to carry baby Clarisse with me especially when the festive season is coming soon. If there is nothing serious I would try not to go to the bank. Like today, I have no choice but to personally go to the bank as my checking account is overdraft by $10. Thanks to the half yearly fee. I have to wait in a long queue with baby Clarisse just to deposit a mere $10 or else the bank will charge me overdraf t interest.
