One of the best strategies to ensure a healthy birth is to have a good pregnancy. Getting prenatal treatment early and on a regular basis increases the odds of a safe pregnancy. With a pre-pregnancy visit to a health care practitioner, this care can begin even before conception.
Pre-Pregnancy Care
A pre-pregnancy checkup can assist women in taking steps toward a healthy pregnancy even before they become pregnant.
Before becoming pregnant, women can help to promote a healthy pregnancy and birth of a healthy baby by doing the following steps:
- Make a plan for how they will reproduce.
- Increase their folic acid (a B vitamin) intake to at least 400 micrograms per day.
- Make sure they are up to date on their immunizations.
- Maintain diabetes and other medical conditions under control.
- Do not smoke, drink alcohol, or take drugs.
- Achieve a healthy body weight.
- Find out about their family’s medical history as well as their partner’s.
- Seek help if you are suffering from depression, anxiety, or other mental illnesses.
Prenatal Care
Women who think they might be pregnant should make an appointment with their doctor to start prenatal care. A physical exam, weight checks, and a urine sample are routinely included in prenatal visits to a health care practitioner. Blood tests and imaging tests, such as ultrasound exams, may be performed depending on the stage of the pregnancy. During these sessions, the…

The United States Supreme Court granted the petitioners’ request to stay the Biden Administration’s CoViD-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) during the pendency of the 6th Circuit case.
Holding that OSHA lacked the statutory authority to implement the ETS, the Court stated, “the Act empowers the Secretary to set workplace safety standards, not broad public health measures.”
Further, the Court held:
“The question before us is not how to respond to the pandemic, but who holds the power to do so. The answer is clear: Under the law as it stands today, that power rests with the States and Congress, not OSHA. In saying this much, we do not impugn the intentions behind the agency’s mandate. Instead, we only discharge our duty to enforce the law’s demands when it comes to the question who may govern the lives of 84 million Americans.”
The majority concluded that the government was not likely to prevail on its argument that OSHA possesses the authority to issue the vaccination mandate.

You should know that these were the words shouted out loud by Winston Glynn, an illegal alien, accused of murdering 19-year-old Kristal Byron-Nieves during an armed robbery in a Burger King in New York City, according to news reports.
As you may know, Kristal Byron-Nieves was working the late shift (01:00 a.m.) at the Burger King in Manhattan, on Sunday January 09, 2022, when Winston Glynn, allegedly came in to rob the place at gun point. Upon doing so he shot Ms. Nieves, killing her and ending her young life.
You should also know that thanks to the great, intense hunt for her killer by the NYPD, in less than one week the perpetrator was captured and identified as Winston Glynn. He was immediately taken into custody and arrested. As he was being taken out of the 25th Precinct in Manhattan he shouted “America is gonna burn!” among yelling other obscenities to the onlookers.
It is important for you to know that Winston Glynn is in this country illegally, an “undocumented” resident in this country. But what makes this case much more tragic is that this young girl’s life could have been saved given that he has a past criminal record. According to news reports he has been previously charged with the following crimes:
- In 2017 he was arrested and charged with criminal mischief.
- In 2018 he was arrested and charged with menacing.
- In December 2020 he was arrested for criminal possession of a weapon and was set free.
- In November 2021 he was residing in a hotel and got into a violent dispute and threatened a person with a screwdriver. He was given a ticket for a desk appearance and with a simple slap on the wrist they let him go free.
- And tragically, now, in January 2022, he is arrested and charged with armed robbery and murder.
As you can see, my dear reader, we must ask ourselves why is it that an illegal alien, an individual who should not have been in this country to begin with, who has been arrested and continues to commit crimes is allowed to freely walk the…

While New York is loaded with historic major league sports teams, the Bronx boasts two: the most successful and the newest of the bunch. The New York Yankees are one of the most instantly recognizable sports brands in the world – despite the lack of baseball outside of North America and Japan – with more titles than the rest of New York’s teams combined. New York City FC is the new kid in the Bronx, but already has a championship to their name.
The year of 2021 proved to be one of immensely differing fortunes for the Yankees and City FC. Still, each new season brings about a renewed sense of hope among the fans. Even though the 2022 campaigns are still some way out for the MLB and MLS, it’s fair to say that both Bronx teams have the opportunity to be in contention for major honors.
New York Yankees can improve greatly in 2022
It was not a great season for the New York Yankees, with the final record of 92-70 being flattering. Eight games back of the AL East leaders (the Tampa Bay Rays), a superb win-streak through the summer enabled the Yankees to squeak into a wild card place. They went to the postseason as one of three representatives from their stacked division. Of course, the chance was not taken, bowing out to the Boston Red…
