Hi Quinn

I'm by no means an expert but after getting a heap of info from this site, Atomic & talking to my obstetrician I truly believe that the biggest factor in all this swaying business is diet!!! That was the main standout factor that I believe really worked for me. I think if you can nail your diet you're in with an awesome chance! Good luck with it all!!
