Some good news: Dark Chocolate is good for the third trimester

Got this from babycenter:

Dark Chocolate could help ward off a serious complication known as preeclampsia, a condition that will affect our health and the baby, usually detected by high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine, the following is a quote from the article.


Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is rich in a chemical called theobromine, which stimulates the heart, relaxes smooth muscle and dilates blood vessels, and has been used to treat chest pain, high blood pressure, and hardening of the arteries, Dr. Elizabeth W. Triche of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut and colleagues write.


Only 2 more weeks to go, getting excited and nervous, glad that the pregnancy is finally over, but not sure what would happen during labour. The back pain, gronin pain, leg cramps and other pain that comes with it will finish soon! Also the extra time I guess, will be so busy with the baby, getting What to expect in the First year , they're selling cheaper than anywhere else, had a look at the book in the bookstore, it goes through everything month to month, I guess it'll be really helpful especially for me, with no experience with children nor baby, I don't even know what age go to kindergarten, that's how bad I am. :-)
