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 26 Weeks Pregnant!!!

It is now 25 weeks from your last menstrual period. Your baby is now at 23 weeks gestation and is almost 8 3/4 inches long from crown to rump (113/4 inches from head to toe). Sudden noises may cause your baby to startle -- responses have been reported when baby hears a loud noise. Your baby's bowel now contains some meconium, a dark green tar-like substance that will be excreted during the first few days after birth

Advice for Mom
Your uterus should measure about 9 1/2 - 10 inches and be about 3 finger-breadths above your belly button. The linea nigra is a black line that might appear from your pubic bone to navel. This is normal and will lighten about 3 months postpartum. While most women dread stretch marks, you should be proud of them! They're like a badge of honour and are symbolic of your baby's road map to life. To avoid varicose veins, try maternity hose and frequent walks to increase circulation
