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 16 Weeks Pregnant!!!

Congratulations -- you are in the second trimester! Your baby is now at 13 weeks gestation and is about 4 inches long from crown to rump (5 inches head to toe) and weighs about 1 1/2 ounces. About now, a small amount of hair is growing on your baby's head and eyelashes and eyebrows start to emerge. 112) Your uterus is approximately half way from your pubic bone to the umbilicus.

Advice for Mom
Your uterus may practice contracting about now. These are called Braxton Hicks contractions. If you have more than 5 in an hour or experience severe backache and cramping, contact your doctor. You may have trouble concentrating, you might drop things, forget things. You feel "not all there" and have new feeling of calmness. If you are feeling angry or emotional, it is normal!
