flattening and widening of the foot is benign, and no problems
result. In the diabetic, this change in foot size is important
to recognize. Despite the increase in foot size, many moms continue
to wear the same size shoes. As a diabetic, properly fitting shoes

What
You Need to Know About Feeding A Preemie (opens

I highly
recommend that all pregnant mothers become informed about
premature infant care. There’s no time to become

please do take time to think about the possibilities of
preemie care today.
