About me
Your Friend

First of all, to start knowing about me, my name is Rosaura Hinojosa, but curiously no one in my house calls me by my name, in fact some relatives do not even know my real name. Everybody calls me Laura, only my husband calls me Rosaura. Why "Laura", nobody knows in my family, not even my mother. This has been in my life something very funny because my husband always asks the same question, "Who gave you that name?"

I am a very simple and honest woman. I am from a humble family. My dad left my mom when I was 5 years old, so imagine how difficult it was for my mom to feed and care 9 children. I am the youngest. My oldest sister is 20 years older than me.

I was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico and I lived in Montreal for 4 years, from 1998 to 2002. That's why I speak and write a little English and I can tell you that it has been a challenge for me to create this website to express myself, but I think challenges are important to meet targets, and my goal is to be useful in life and help others in any matter related to women who want to become new moms, and care of babies.

I took care of my nephews like God gave me the understanding, but after several years, I think I was an expert and I learned to understand children. What did they want? How to feed them? What to do if they become ill?

At the age of 20 years old, I wanted to have my own children, but I think I was not lucky to meet a partner to whom I could love, not at that age.

One of my sisters (Malena) two years older than me got married and had her first baby. I gave all my love to my sister's son; I think I pretended to be like her mom. I watched him everyday. I bought him toys, cloths, and everything I found at stores. After leaving work, I used to run to my sister's house to care of my nephew.

My love for children was growing up since then; it's definitely something that comes from the depths of my heart.

I did not want to have babies without getting married, I have old principles, and I’m proud about that. Unfortunately I could not find my ideal mate at age of 20 years to marry me and have my own children.

I love my husband, and together we decided to wait a year before having our first baby. However, during that year I anxiously wanted to have my first baby, but I think it was worth to wait, because we strengthened our love as a couple.

During my pregnancy, readings and web research helped me a lot. Sincerely, my personal view about doctors is that they are sometimes very short in words, and they explain in scientifically terms that you do not understand. In fact I can tell you that research in the web gave me much more information than my doctor gave me. Of course, doctors are a key for your health and have to make sure your pregnancy goes well, and in case of risks, doctors have the knowledge to get a solution, medically speaking.

Now, I can proudly say that, the learning of taking care of my nephews, my marriage with my lovely husband, and the reading of tons of reliable information, has paid off. Today I have a beautiful baby with an excellent health. My whole family loves him very much. He is a boy that was born with a star, and I'm going to do the impossible so he can keep that star in his life.

What is the difference between the information that you can find on the worldwide web, and the information that I can provide you on my pages?

They are probably very similar in terms of scientific content; however, I've translated a bit these scientific terms on real events that have happened to me, and some other moms. Practically I want to give you a personal touch to everything related to pregnancy and baby's development.

I also like blogging because that is where I get experiences from other moms. I like to collect some blogs and I want to share them with you.

Blogs I read: Cara´s blog.

Honestly, I wish that the contents of my pages are of your interest and help you in further stages of your life as a mom.

“Advice-for-pregnant-moms.com” has become a way to fulfill my dreams of being a perfect mom, and a wonderful way to help me contribute to my family.

Sincerely your friend,
Rosaura Hinojosa and Ramón Velasco
