Not sure what the pregnancy essentials are? You dont need as much as you'd think. My pregnancy essentials are a bit different this time around since technically, you can get away with not having a whole arsenal at your disposal. Especially now that I've been pregnant twice before, I'm realizing there are things I dont particularly need but other ladies couldn't do without, and vice versa.  Since you dont really need much, I suggest taking the money you save and get yourself a cute maternity outfit so you feel smokin hot, or get your hair done, or even some eyelash extensions , because you're growing a flippin human being so I say... treat yo'self! My Nine Pregnancy Essentials and why I need them:     1  Crude Oil   I have broken out like CRAZY this pregnancy and since you can't use a lot of products because of the drugs involved, I found that Crude Oil is a natural way to clean and hydrate my skin.

Night frights, or night terrors, are never a pleasant experience. If you are a parent who has experienced these, you know just how awful, absolutely exhausting, frustrating and heart-breaking it can be. Since experiencing them with our little Poppy, I took to the internet to figure out the best way to help her cope but all the information I found seemed to contradict each other or just didn't work for us. If you don't know, or would just like to be educated on night frights, a night fright is where a child wakes up in the night and seem to be awake, but cannot snap out of what seems like a nightmare. They may scream, cry, thrash around the bed. It ain't pretty.     What Caused Her Night Frights: We started to notice that she had them when she had a particularly busy or active day, or when she was overly tired. She also seemed to have them when she'd be going through a growth spurt. Some nights we could anticipate her having them because of her activity or schedule fr...
