Are the Conditions Right for Conception?
Most of the lubricants currently on the market have been shown to kill or significantly impede the movement of sperm – making conception far less likely. Fortunately, there are lubricants now on the market that are scientifically designed to match fertile cervical liquid and semen, creating a conception friendly environment.

Developing Baby's Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor skills are those movements involving fingers, hands and wrists, and helping babies learn to hone those skills can be both simple and lots of fun for baby and parent. Here are some ideas for helping your baby develope these very important development skills.

Pregnancy Weight Gain Recommendations
Pregnant women often feel liberated by the idea that this is the one time in life when they can eat, really eat, for a purpose. However, almost half of all expectant mothers gain more than the recommended amount of weight. How much is too much? And does it really matter what you eat as long as you gain the right amount of weight for the pregnancy?

You're 12 Weeks Pregnant!!!

The baby is at 9 weeks gestation and is about5 cm (almost 2 inches) long. By the end of the first trimester, the fetus really looks like a little baby! Such a smart cookie! Your baby has advanced to the stage that its brain can transmit messages.

Advice for Mom
If you're pregnant and working, learn your rights now. What maternity benefits are available? Job security? Unfortunately, some employers will still try to take advantage of you. Talk to some working moms about their experiences.

Make sure you are getting enough rest. Listen to your body and slow down when you are tired. Reduce the risk of bladder infections by getting Vitamin C, urinating frequently, and drinking eight glasses of water daily. Remember, aspirin, prescription medication and even excessive vitamins can be harmful: ask your doctor before taking anything.

I feel more energized now that the nausea and fatigue have lifted. I am more excited about being pregnant now!

Kelly from Arizona Writes [09/22/2005 05:13]
I feel normal now. I am not tired any more and I have not gained 1 lb yet. I eat better than ever because I get sick at the idea of greasy/buttery food. Yoga is a great way to stay tight, relaxed and stress free right now.

Mimi from NJ Writes [06/13/2005 12:53]
