Pregnancy Symptoms: "Heartburn"

Image
Many women get heartburn during pregnancy. Heartburn is a burning feeling in your stomach, sometimes rising up to your throat.  It occurs when the valve between the stomach and the food pipe (esophagus) are unable to prevent the stomach acids from passing back into the esophagus. Pregnancy can increase the frequency of heartburn because the hormone progesterone causes the valve to relax. This allows the stomach acid to pass into the esophagus and irritate the lining. How pregnant women feel about it?  "Pregnancy heartburn is seriously the worst and the STRUGGLE IS TOO REAL",  or "I've eaten too much again for lunch.... I have heartburn ... help! Worst thing about pregnancy has to be the heartburn!" and again "After this pregnancy, I hope I never, ever get heartburn again. EVER!"

To "Big Chop" or not to?

It's snowing in Cape Town, so windy in Johannesburg and yet I've decided to "chop" that hair from my head and have no regrets at all since then :) How it all started I cut my hair (the first round) on November 2012 because after my two pregnancies my hair became a complete mess: "long, short, medium, kinky, dry, smooth..." I had all those kinds in one head and as it was not enough, my hair colour turned dark brown instead of remaining black. So, I got mad and remove all those mountains and "everests" and gave myself a good ride on equal plains with no valleys hehehe. Hold on! Watch the full video of my big chop by following this link:  "My Big Chop: "Relaxed to Natural Hair" 10 months later My hair later on grew equally and looked healthy but as I couldn't bear the pain when I had to comb the regrowths following the two relaxing phases I had in between, I started thinking it's maybe tim...

Mon ancienne maison

Qu'elle etait belle! J'aimais bien prendre des photos de moi meme dans le jardin, ou juste me promener et sentir le vent me raffraichir les pommettes. Elle est pleine de souvenirs cette demeure. Des souvenirs que je n'oublierais pas, surtout que j'y ai vecu avec des personnes toutes plus charmantes les unes que les autres et qui a certains moments m'ont fait plus rire que pleurer :) A quoi est-ce que je ressemble bien sur cette photo? Hmm, a vous de me dire. Elle est pas belle la vie? lol Aevermint
