When you discover you are pregnant, every decision takes on a whole new meaning. Should you still drink coffee? Dying your hair, yes or no? Or even, should I eat completely organically?
Some questions are much easier to answer, and information is readily available from your family, friends and OB-GYN. Others, may not even be high on your priority list, such as pregnancy skincare.
