When I discovered I was pregnant with my first baby, I immediately became a Google master! I wanted to know everything about what was happening in my body and how to give my baby the best environment to grow. Unfortunately, I found a lot of information that was not only inaccurate, it also made me set unrealistic expectations for myself. Even being a nurse at the time, I felt I was ill-equipped and unprepared to grow a child, birth a child or raise a child.
