There are certain foods that should be avoided whilst pregnant. I have tried to compile an extensive list although not an exhaustive list of food that you should try to avoid over your nine months of pregnancy.
As I write this article there is a home baby gender test available over the internet, which will determine the sex of your baby at just 6 weeks into your pregnancy.
Free easy to use pregnancy calculator, which will calculate your pregnancy calendar and milestones from the date of your last period. Alternatively if you know your due date it can calculate backward to give you your calendar.
When I went into labour I had no idea what pain relief I wanted to use and very little about what options were available. All I knew was that I wanted a natural birth but would keep an open mind.
What happens at the six week check up? I know that before we went I did not have a clue what to expect.
This is part 4, a few days after the birth what are my overall feelings about the experience of labor from a fathers perspective.
This is part 3, the end stage of labor, something I will never forget so long as I live. A big dose of respect to every mother out there, I'll never look at a woman the same way again.
Nobody could ever explain to me what it was like to be in labour, nobody could really describe it and nobody could answer my one question 'how will I know when I am in labour?' They just said you will know when it happens. The last thing I expected was a 27 hour labour.
Yesterday our daughter was born after 27 hours of labour, This is part 2, the middle of labour trying to convince Clare she didn't need pain relief.
Today our daughter was born after 27 hours of labour, here are my thoughts and memories of the experience. It's a long one, so have split it into separate articles. This is part 1 the start of labour.
At over a week overdue I started looking into natural ways to induce labour. I'd even tried getting very drunk and hungover to see if 'sods law' could be used to bring it on.
I'd never imagined I would ever have to face a decision to terminate a pregnancy.
If the nuchal scan showed any sign of abnormality this is a decision we would have to make.
