In the very first episode of the Becoming Mama™ Podcast, Diana talks about the importance of self-care through pregnancy. We live in a society that makes us feel like self-care is selfish, but really it is the least selfish thing you can do, especially when you are on the brink of motherhood.  Please remember that Motherly provides information of a general nature and is designed for educational purposes only.
