The Real Deal....Emotional Swings And Roundabouts

Preparing to have a baby involves a great deal more than having prenatal checkups and wearing a floral tent.

 You need to adjust emotionally, too. At this time there is often emotional muddle anyway, thanks to a cauldron of pregnancy hormones. You may feel it's doing your head in.

• If you've got relationship issues, address them as calmly as you can.
• Tell your physician about any serious worries or if you feel depressed
