Hooray, you're pregnant! Now, while you are waiting for your little bundle of joy to grow and arrive into the world, you get to experience the joys and blessings of being pregnant. Many of these experiences are truly blessings indeed-feeling the first kick, decorating the baby's room, picking out a name. But there's also the side of pregnancy, that everybody seems to forget to talk about. Take for example, the nausea, the inability to find anything to wear that fits you, aches and pains everywhere and not being able to do the same workouts that you were used to doing BP (before pregnancy), just to name a few. So you go to the internet to try to find some guidance with the new things that are going on with your body and your baby... only to find out there are about 1,000,000,000,000 different resources out there for pregnancy. Today, I'm going to share my favorite pregnancy blogs, to show you that you are not alone! Let's get started.

1. Nursery design ideas: Lay Baby Lay 

Great for nursery ideas, along with announcements, baby shower themes and general knowledge of all things baby related. Have two of more babies at home and designing a shared room? Find ideas here!

2. Baby names: Appellation Mountain 

I think this site has so many creative names to choose from compared to other baby naming sites. Find inspiration in the name of the day, or find your own unique baby name with the guidance of this site. It will not steer you wrong.

3. Fitness: Fit Pregnancy 

A comprehensive look into fitness, nutrition and all things related no matter what stage you are in your pregnancy.

4. Guidance on labor and delivery: Giving Birth With Confidence 

This is a very supportive blog that is written by those who get your baby into this world: nurses, doulas, Lamaze coaches, midwives, and best of all, these women are regular moms who have been through the experience themselves! This is a great place to start building a birthing plan and to come for your questions and comments on all that is labor and delivery and so much more.

5. Best overall: Pregnant Chicken 

If you are looking for humor mixed with valuable knowledge through your pregnancy and thereafter, this is your site. Come here when you need a laugh, or have a general (non-medical) question. You'll leave with tears of laughter guaranteed.
