This will be our 5 month trying. I didnt have any problems with my first child. She was unexpected since I was on BC when I got pregnant with her, so what is the deal now? I have been taking prenatals, laying down after sex, timing ovulation. Did anyone else have this problem and how long did it take you to get pregnant? I really want to because I don’t want my kids far apart in age. They will already be 3 in a half years apart if I get pregnant soon.
My husband and I have been trying for 2 years, we did the whole fertility treatment after about 12 months (iui) or (ai) and gave up all our bad habits (caffeine) we did fall pregnant in june this year but miscarried at 8 weeks then did another iui with no result I finally cracked and said that’s it I’m not doing this anymore watching all my friends have their second and now third babies is so hard to watch while staying positive for yourself and hearing don’t worry it will be your turn next from my friends is becoming so hard to hear.
Also am feeling the same about the age gap I have a daughter her will be turning 4 in april so she will already at school when the next one comes!!
but finally am 5 weeks pregnant (conceived naturally no fertility help) and I Truly feel that me giving up on having another baby was just what we needed to fall pregnant obviously I was putting to much pressure on the situation and I know easier said then done right but after so long of trying and so much disappointment I just didn’t want to try anymore.
I’ve heard people say busy yourself and keep your mind off it but can tell you it’s completely impossible to do that!!!!!
My only advice I can give is to do what ever it is that relaxes you to increase your chances and don’t worry about getting baby’s off your mind cause you will probably find yourself thinking about it more.
good luck to you.

I know this has nothing do to with health..but I figured since I’m looking for womens answers, this would be a good place.
My wife is 6 months pregnant, and absolutely hates herself. She calls herself ugly, fat (which is not one bit true!) she just doesn’t like the fact that she’s pregnant. and she also doesn’t like the appearance of it either.
What are ways I could show her that I love her and think she’s great pregnant.. or not? what are cute and kind things I could do for her? thanks.
I had a load of unwanted fat in all the embarrassing places until I tried acai berry, I acknowledge they say that pills do not work, but they certainly worked for me, and they’ve been showcased on CBS News too. There is a free trial happening currently at http://celart.yourwholesalediet.info , why not try it, what’s the worst that could happen?

Dieting is very important for ones health and well being. It is even more important in the case of pregnant women; not only for the fact is that is important for the health of the mother but also very important for the health of the un borne child. The fact is that the mothers have to actually provide for 2 now: both herself and the child. She must consider that she must have the intake of vitamins and calories to sustain her and a growing child in her womb. Many women can now use the Pregnancy Nutrition to get the required info so that she can get the proper amount of nutrients during the day. There are foods that women are required to eat in order to get the right stuff and also there are foods that women must stay away because the case of food poisoning exists or the risk that certain chemical in the foods may affect the well being of the child.
Tests and researches done on pregnant women and the foods that they were eating have revealed that certain vitamins and minerals are required to be eaten in bigger quantities and more often than others. Folic acid has been shown to be the most important part of ones diet in order for the baby to develop at the best level. Omega 3 foods are next in line in importance. As said before there are some foods or chemicals that must be avoided at any cost like PCBs and mercury.
Starting the diet before the women remains pregnant is also a very important thing to keep in mind. Prenatal vitamins have been shown to be very good in keeping the woman and both the child healthy through out the 9 month period that it takes for the baby to develop. Some other supplements also ensure that the women gets the right nutrients from foods, especially in the correct quantities. Omega 3 and fatty acids have been shown to greatly improve the development of the baby’ s brain and eyes while he is still in the mother’s womb, so a woman is advised to eat lots of these substances.
A very good diet would also include herbal supplements that helps people and benefits their health a lot. Still one should always plan ahead and get the right information when it comes to any kind of food or supplement and the reaction it may have on both the mother and the baby.
A lot of clinic and support groups are now available for women to see and get the right help and advices. Weight gain is probably the most worrying in the cases of women so seeing one of these special clinics can help you with the planning of your diet so that both the woman and the baby benefit from it.

Many people have heard the term “biological clock” as it is used to refer to women because women typically have a certain amount of healthy time during their lives for which it is better to try to have a child. If you are trying to have a baby, there are many things that you and your partner can do to improve fertility so that you can make that dream a reality. It is important that you both discuss the need and/or desire to have children first of course. If you talk to any fertility specialist, there are a plethora of ways in which you can improve the odds that you will have a healthy baby. Obviously, you don’t want to smoke or be around people who do smoke, seeing as how it is not good for your health. Also, it is equally important to make sure that both you and your partner are getting enough rest and are eating healthy and exercising regularly. There have also been many medical advances should you need to go that route.
Dreaming of starting a new family or perhaps adding a new little bundle of joy to your already existing one but you seem to be having a little trouble getting started? Here may be some very easy ways to help increase your chances of conceiving. Of course, as always, if you are concerned or have been trying for more than a year and are still having trouble you may want to consult your physician to make sure there are not any other issues at play.
Make sure that you and your partner are both eating a well balanced diet and getting the proper amount of vitamins. For women, you should already be taking a prenatal vitamin if you are trying to conceive, and you can find these over the counter without needing a prescription. That should provide adequate amounts of most vitamins and you will want to avoid taking more Vitamin C because it can interfere with sperm mobility. For men however, a deficiency in Vitamin C or Zinc can result in low sperm count, damaged sperm, and poor sperm mobility.
Substitute egg whites for a lubricant. Most lubricants, even petroleum jelly, can kill sperm and make conception much more difficult, it is best to use no lubricant at all but if you do need to, egg whites help sperm to be more mobile.
Certain herbal remedies can also be useful in fertility. Dong Quai, for example, is a Chinese herb that can help to boost estrogen levels and increase the chances of a fertilized egg becoming implanted. Chasteberry can also help to regulate these hormones which can aid fertility. Also keep in mind that certain herbal remedies, although useful for other medical reasons, maybe harmful when trying to conceive. Some to avoid include St. John’s Wart, echinacea, and ginkgo biloba. You may also want to avoid caffeine and do not over do it on the milk since both an be counter productive in the pursuit to conceive.

Maternity Seat Belt – Whatever the invention or creation that a scientist sets about working upon, you can rest assured that the piece of equipment or gadget involved with the experiment will be given the scientists undivided attention where – priorities lie with the safety issues before any introduction outside the doors of the laboratory.
Sadly, scientists are rarely recognized for the work that they do by the public. Experiments can take month`s even years – where scientists continuously work with their heads down to give us some new toy of some sort etc.
Inventor Steinar Kruse.in 1989 brought to our attention one of the most useful accessories to be used by pregnant women that was to ensure their safety whilst motoring, and that was the Maternity seat belt
Women are now taking to the road with peace of mind and contentment – knowing that the measures taken regarding the Maternity seat belt has been bettered than the existing seat belts used by expectant mothers.
In today`s modern world, the Maternity Seat Belt is a repositioning device designed to hold the lap portion of the vehicle`s existing seat belt low over the pregnant woman`s upper thighs, which is the suggested position for the seat belt. If this particular design by Steinar Kruse had not been sanctioned, then the discomfort could prove to be unbearable for the pregnant woman while driving
However, much controversy and debate has taken place regarding the danger risks involved for the safety of the unborn child, because of how – even a positioned seat belt can tend to rise up to settle on the abdomen. The numbers in pregnant women who have voiced their concern and questioned this matter is quite high. For fear of harming their unborn baby – women tend to stress themselves over all the confusion as to whether they should or should not wear seat belts. Stress is not good throughout pregnancy – so try to relax and speak with an expert.
Maternity seat belts can be purchased in most leading stores. Other options can be to take a trip to a mother and baby group gathering and speak with other expectant mothers who may well be able to help put your mind at rest – with their own personal experiences. The Maternity seat belt was invented with safety in mind – so it may be wise to clunk click every trip. If you have any doubts then talk to your doctor.

When one is learning about life cycles in science classes at school, one may feel that it is only insects that grow in stages. But experience brings wisdom as one grows up. The human baby also passes through various stages in the mother’s womb before emerging into the real world. Carrying a growing fetus within her body and giving birth to a full-grown newborn after several months is an extremely significant biological event in a woman’s life, considering that she has to undergo a lot of stress and upheavals during the entire stages of pregnancy.
No one can argue that every pregnant woman needs a lot of fortitude to undertake this difficult journey in life. At the same time, whether it is a first-time pregnancy or a second or a third one, each experience is unique by itself.
The stages of pregnancy can be split into three quarters, each quarter representing a period of three months known as a trimester—
During the first trimester, the mother-to-be does not exhibit visible signs of pregnancy, though there are great changes taking place inside the womb, or rather uterus. As a matter of fact, a lot of things begin to happen as soon as conception has taken place, maybe even before the pregnant woman is actually aware that she has conceived! The embryo starts dividing very rapidly at this time and there are constant hormonal changes within the woman’s body. As a result, morning sickness is experienced and so also tenderness of the breasts. A few lucky women do not experience these symptoms, but generally most pregnant women find this to be a common event.
The first trimester can be classified as one of the truly exciting stages of pregnancy, because this is when the heartbeat of the growing fetus can be felt! Also, the baby is able to move its tiny legs and arms.
Now follows the second trimester. Among the various stages of pregnancy, many women find this time to be very comfortable. All the discomforts experienced during the first three months disappear. Additionally, activities do not cause any difficulty, considering that the uterus has still not developed to its full size. But other changes do take place. It is possible that Braxton Hicks contractions begin during this time. These are like practice contractions and cause discomfort while sleeping. In fact, the soon-to-be mother may be hard put to find a comfortable position to sleep in! At the same time, the new mother is rewarded as she can now sense the movements of the growing baby. Some women are even able to see the movements!
The last trimester or the final stages of pregnancy brings about a number of changes. Growth of the baby is as fast as it was during the first trimester. As the baby grows in size, so does the pregnant woman’s abdomen! The movements of the baby may not be felt as regularly as they were during the second trimester, but there is really no need to get alarmed about it. It is just that the baby has taken up so much space that internal movements are not visible outside!
It is important that the new mother uses this time during the last stages of pregnancy to fortify her health by taking nutritious meals and relaxing a lot. She should try and remain serene at all times. Additionally, she can attend classes on childbirth and breastfeeding to be prepared for both when the time arrives.

You may have no sooner had your first child when your family and friends and even yourself and your partner begin to ask when is the best time to get pregnant again. Maybe you are reaching the end of your reproductive life and would like one more child. Maybe you want to stay home with the children, but don’t want them spaced too far apart for fear that you will get too far behind in your career. Maybe when you had your last child there were complications, so you are nervous about when the next best time for you to get pregnant is.
As is true with most medical issues, when you are wondering, your first step should be to discuss the best time to get pregnant with your doctor. You individual medical history will determine the answer that is appropriate in your case. However, there are several very general, universal guidelines on when is the best time for a woman to get pregnant.
The first parameter to consider on when the best time to get pregnant is, is a woman’s gynecological age. This age does not start at birth, but rather at the first menstruation. For example, if a girl had started her period at age twelve and was currently age sixteen, her gynecological age would be four. Usually women need a certain amount of time after menstruation begins for their bodies to finish developing and be prepared for childbirth. Most young girls are not considering this issue, but the rule-of-thumb is to wait until at least the gynecological age of four years.
If your gynecological age is greater than four years, you are good on that count. The next factor to consider when deciding the best time to get pregnant is the timing of your last pregnancy. This is important because during pregnancy, women give a lot of their body’s vitamin and mineral stores to the developing child. After childbirth, the woman is low on things like iron and calcium.
Within a year, she will be able to gain back almost all of what she has lost. Female bodies are designed to be able to do this. However, if she were to get pregnant before her body’s stores are built back up, she would again give vitamins and minerals to this baby, further depleting herself. This can leave the woman in a poor nutritional state when the pregnancy is over, and harm the baby as well. For this reason, the best time to get pregnant is not immediately after you have had another child. Similar recommendations exist if you have recently miscarried, so be sure to ask your doctor for personalized recommendations. Now get some rest and eat well so that you will be prepared for this pregnancy when the best time for you comes along!
