Article: Toward the end of a pregnancy, many women have trouble getting comfortable enough for a good night of sleep. If this is the case, you should take naps during the day in order to be sure that your body is getting enough rest. If necessary, you should arrange for a sitter or a family member to help when there are other children in the family so that you can get some sleep. Since you and your baby are getting nutrients from the food that you eat, it is important for you to eat often and focus on foods that are healthy instead of foods with low nutritional values. It is alright to satisfy a craving for something of little nutritional worth, but it should be done in moderation. Usually a few bites should satisfy the craving. It is also important to get enough liquids, especially water. Constipation is common in pregnant women because the intestine muscles relax and reduce their ability to push food through your system. Constipation can lead to stomach pains and a generally sense of sluggishness. Cope with constipation by eating fiber-rich foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and dried fruit all contain fiber. Walk or do light exercise because physical activity can help to get your intestines working. Swelling is one of the accompanying symptoms of late pregnancy that occurs due to the pressure of the uterine vessels, water retention and a lack of protein intake. Drink plenty of water so that you and your baby stay hydrated, especially if it is hot outside. Staying hydrated can help to keep your body from retaining water and making you swell up. Eat plenty of meat, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and cereals. Do not eat too much spicy or salty food. These two food groups may make your body retain fluid that can lead to swelling in your arms and legs. Leg cramps and restless leg syndrome are common in the last week of pregnancy. The reasons could be lack of calcium, magnesium, or poor circulation. Calcium is an electrolyte that helps in the transmission of signals through the body. Include dairy products in your diet like milk,yogurt or cheese, as these are all rich in calcium. Magnesium affects the muscles and their contractions. Try to eat cereals, nuts, and soy that are all rich in magnesium. A warm bath before bed help to control restless leg syndrome. This is a common discomfort during pregnancy. When your intestines do not work as efficiently as normal, food can remain in your large intestine for a long period of time, causing heartburn. On top of that, your baby is pressing on your stomach, so food and acid can get squished back up out of your stomach and cause heartburn. To deal with heartburn: Eat smaller meals and avoid fatty and spicy foods. Do not lie down immediately after eating. Wait two to three hours. During pregnancy, the organs in your body move and make space for your baby as he or she grows. These moving organs can affect your backbone, causing back pain. To ease your pain: Try to avoid standing in the same position for a long period of time. Elevate your legs when you sit down. Wear flat shoes. A growing baby causes your uterus to expand, which in turn can put pressure on your diaphragm. This pressure can make you feel like you can't catch your breath. Try to control this discomfort by sleeping in a half-seated position and by slowing down your physical activities. Due to the increased pressure of the uterus on the veins of your abdomen, your flow of blood can slow down in the area around your rectum This can cause hemorrhoids, which can be uncomfortable and, at times, painful. To reduce your chances of developing hemorrhoids, try to avoid constipation (see Step 3 of this section for more information).

Article: "Divorced, beheaded, died; Divorced, beheaded, survived." This ditty has been memorized by generations of British schoolchildren. It is not strictly accurate. The marriages to Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves legally ended in annulment, not divorce. And both Anne of Cleves and Katherine Parr survived the king, in the sense of outliving him. " Another poem runs: "King Henry VIII, to six wives he was wedded. One died, one survived, two divorced, two beheaded." This version is inaccurate in the use of the term divorced, which should really be annulled. It also doesn't tell you the order of the queens. However, it has a catchy meter and is easy to remember. "Kate and Anne and Jane, and Anne and Kate (again, again!)" For this poem, it helps to adopt an English accent, so that Jane rhymes with again. Note that "again, again" is a reminder that there are two "Kates" at the end of the list: Catherine Howard followed by Katherine Parr.

Learn the rhyme that tells the queens' fates. Rhyme "wedded" with "beheaded. Rhyme the queens' first names.
Article: The best defense against people who dislike you is to like yourself. When you are confident in yourself, that confidences radiates and other people notice. Self-confidence comes from knowing that you are good enough (self-esteem) and that you are capable (self-efficacy). Do an inventory to identify things about yourself that you are confident in versus things that make you self-conscious or insecure. You can start by making a list of all the things you are good at, and a list of things you struggle with. Consider all types of things, like making people laugh, cooking, sticking to a schedule, keeping promises, dancing, etc. You might categorize these things into groups like "social," "emotional," "physical," "cognitive," or others that are important to you. Focus on improving negative thoughts and negative "self talk" (the things you say to yourself in your head), especially on the areas that you feel that you are not good at. When you find yourself doubting your ability or thinking negatively, reframe it. Instead of thinking, "I am so bad at math," think about how good you are at looking for details and solving problems, and say to yourself, "I can conquer this math problem!" The term "disliked" is not very specific. If you think of someone or something you "dislike," you might really be feeling emotions like ambivalence, disgust, distrust, fear, hurt, resentment, jealousy, or any myriad of combinations of these or other negative emotions. If your goal is to reduce the negative feelings someone has for you, you have to identify why it is that you are disliked. Then, you can work on improving that particular area for that particular person. For example, if someone dislikes you because she feels you come on too strong, you can try to tone it down around that person. Or if someone dislikes you because you often break your commitments, you can work on being more consistent and keeping your word. Pinpointing why you are disliked might also reveal a simple truth: often times people dislike you for reasons that have nothing to do with you. It is entirely unfair, but completely normal. A person may dislike you because you remind them of someone, because they are just a negative person, or because they are jealous of you-- or a number of other reasons! Sometimes realizing that someone's reasons for disliking you are superficial, absurd, or simply irrelevant to you can help you accept being disliked for what it really is. If others dislike you at school, work, church, home, or any other place in particular, and you cannot figure out why on your own, you might consider asking someone you trust to help you figure out why. Someone who likes you but will be honest with you is best! Let them know that you are trying to understand why others dislike you, and that you need some feedback from someone who knows you well. Your trusted friend can help you to recognize the reasons (or lack of reasons) why others might dislike you, and then help you to focus on your own acceptance of the situation.
