I have a cold, and my brother brought me a armload of remedies this morning, telling me to take all of them. I started to google, knowing I couldn't take some of them, like lavender oil rub, due to uterine contractions. Turns out I cant take any of them. I feel bad, because I know he meant well, but I can't tell him and make him feel bad for not knowing. Anyone else have well-meaning friends or family giving not-so-hot advice?

Though you don't have to puke to have morning sickness. I was insanely nauseated and couldn't eat during 1st tri with DS. Lost over 10lbs, but only threw up twice. I don't just count those 2 instances as morning sickness.

My sister in law. She was a nurse for a few years before going to anesthesiology school. So she talks to me about things and scares the living shit out of me half the time when she talks about the changes.
I know she's just trying to prepare me beause I'm absolute retard on the whole pregnancy subject, but hearing the text-book approach to it really, really scares me.

I have three books that I've been off and on reading and I do plan on taking classes. I'm waiting to see if there are recommendations at the clinic.
The books make me uneasy for the most part, even the ones that sugar coat it. The only thing that makes me really feel better about giving birth is watching A Baby Story. I get to see different cases and how things are done, and the more I watch and become familiar with it, the better I feel.
