Part of looking beautiful while pregnant is gaining the necessary amount of weight to properly nourish your baby. Pregnant woman should eat between 2000 and 2500 calories each day, spread throughout 4 meals. Paying attention to your caloric intake will help you avoid gaining unnecessary weight that may put you at risk for certain medical conditions. You should gain the weight necessary to provide adequate nutrition for your baby and to allow him to grow to a healthy size, but you should pay close attention to gaining the appropriate amount of weight, which will keep you feeling beautiful throughout all three trimesters of your pregnancy. If you have gained more weight then you planned (or more than your doctor deems healthy) you may need to lose weight. It is important to take great caution when attempting to lose weight while pregnant to ensure that your weight loss does not negatively affect your baby. If consistent exercise made you feel confident and beautiful before your pregnancy, there is no reason that pregnancy should force you to stop (although you may need to alter your workout routine). Feeling fit and strong will make you feel more confident about the way you look and will also help in getting you pre-pregnancy body back after you give birth. Getting exercise during your pregnancy will help you keep your weight down, will boost your mood and energy level, and will increase your stamina and muscle strength. Together, these positive results will help you to feel more beautiful. Consider attempting to get 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Walking, aerobics, and swimming are all great low-impact activities that you may want to try during your pregnancy. These activities will help you stay in shape and feel beautiful. Always confer with your doctor before starting a workout routine when pregnant. There are certain situations, such as if you have pregnancy-related high blood pressure, in which your doctor may advise you not to exercise. Dehydration is a very real risk during pregnancy, and drinking enough water will help you feel healthy and look beautiful. While a person should attempt to drink roughly one-half to one ounce of water for each pound that he weighs every day, a pregnant woman must pay even more attention to her water intake. Water helps form the placenta and is used in the amniotic sac in your pregnancy. In addition, not drinking enough water can have a negative effect on your appearance. Dehydration can make your skin look dull, negating the beautiful glow that will accompany your pregnancy. In addition, dehydration can make you feel sluggish and ill, and it is hard to look beautiful when you are not feeling up to par. It is recommended that pregnant women drink about 10 cups (or 2.3 liters) of fluids daily. Drinking water for the majority of this requirement will help you avoid the sugars present in fruit drinks and sodas.

Summary: Pay attention to your diet. Exercise consistently. Drink enough water.

It does not matter who ended things, or who said what. If you broke up, it meant that one or both of you weren't right for each other, and though it is hard to acknowledge, this makes the break up a good thing in the long run. But that is for down the road -- for now, the only thing to remember is that this isn't your fault. Relationships are a two-way street -- and it is no one's fault when they don't work out. So stop beating yourself up. It's not worth the emotional energy. Everyone is going to be telling you "it's going to be fine," "you were too good for him anyway," and other platitudes to try and cheer you up. But the truth is that you're going to be sad, and fighting it off or ignoring that sadness will only make it last longer. The trick isn't to avoid sadness but put a deadline on it. Let yourself be sad for a week or so -- eat the ice cream, watch the sad movies, and have a good cry. But once your week is over, it is time to pick up the pieces and move forward. There is no right amount of time to be sad. However, you should not let your sadness destroy your everyday life and other relationships. While colloquial, there is some evidence that most people feel "normal" again after roughly three weeks. But you must also know being single is not the weird part -- you're just adjusting to something new. Being in a relationship impacts almost every part of your life, so losing that constant force may make everything feel different and strange. But this is just your brain and body shifting into single gear -- it has nothing to do with your decision, or a permanent change in your personality. Constant reminders of your old relationship will make it much harder to feel single. You don't have to throw anything away if you don't want, but put it all in a box in the basement for the time being. Even if you don't think you need to get rid of stuff, or feel bad doing it, you should do a light purge. Invite a sympathetic friend to help out if this is emotionally difficult. It will take half the time, and you'll have a support system to boot. Don't go out and change your whole life now that you're single, of course. But a few cosmetic changes, ones you might not have made with a partner, make the rest of the changes in your life much easier to swallow. Even a weekend trip or hike can be enough to shake off some of the sadness and see things in a different light. Changing your surroundings, even temporarily, is a good way to put your "normal life" in perspective, helping cope with your difficult or painful emotions. If you have good friends, they've most likely been passively but patiently there for you throughout your whole relationship. Use this time to go out and make up for all those lost times and declined invitations. Now, you have the chance to bond with your old friends and the freedom to make new ones. Friendships are very positive, and the stronger they are, the more they'll help you get through this tricky period. Being single is a blessing, and it is a vital part of growing up and learning more about yourself. The states of singleness found between intervals of relationships can be the most rewarding times in your life. These are the times when you grow stronger and redefine your priorities and interests as an individual. Good luck, and cheers to the new you!

Summary: Stop blaming yourself for how things ended. Give yourself some time to be sad. Understand that being single will feel weird, foreign, and uncomfortable at first. Remove pictures, items, and memories of your ex from regular view. Mix things up with a vacation, furniture shuffle, or a new outfit. Rekindle and strengthen your friendships and support network. Recognize and be proud of yourself, knowing that you aren't defined by who you're dating.

These are small "v" shaped lines in your seedbed, which you can use to separate seedlings. Using drills allows you to recognize the plants amidst weeds and other plants. Seeds need moist soil to germinate. Plant them according to the seed package directions for starting seeds. This will keep your seedbed from overcrowding before you transplant. Compost the unwanted seedlings.
Summary: Create "drills" in the soil with a hoe. Water along the length of the seedbed. Sprinkle seedlings just barely into the soil along the drill/row. Thin the seedlings after they germinate and start to grow.
