10 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE GETTING PREGNANT

1. Leave any toxic habits, such tabaco, alcohol and other drugs.



2. Trying to get the ideal weight. Overweight women may go on a diet advised by doctor to lose weight without risking your health.


3. Going to the gynecologist, who will ensure, through a blood test, that you do not suffer anemia or other disorders.


4. Find out (through blood tests would ask the OB) if you have passed certain infections that, if infected during pregnancy, can affect the unborn baby: rubella, toxoplasmosis, hepatitis, syphilis, AIDS ...


5. If necessary, get the vaccine against rubella and chickenpox.


6. Visit the dentist. In this way, you avoid having to undergo dental treatment during pregnancy (although most are not contraindicated).


7. Stay in shape, start practicing a sport or other exercise that can continue during pregnancy.


8. Review your diet with a doctor and try to maintain a balanced diet from now. The diet should be sufficient calories and adequate amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.


9. Start taking folic acid three months before leaving the method of contraception. This vitamin is essential for the health of mother and child, prevents certain types of anemia and prevent certain birth defects in the unborn baby.


10. Necessary reforms to adapt the property for your child. The works are a source of concern, and during pregnancy is not advisable to become overwhelmed, or have contact with paints and solvents.

Stress and pregnancy

Stress, a growing problem present in the lives of couples, is an obstacle for those looking for a baby


Until now it was known that age, alcohol consumption and other drugs were factors influencing the chances of getting pregnant but the stress was not taken into account by a factor difficult to analyze.

Experts have found that levels of cortisol and alpha-amylase, two components of stress, were more present in women who took longer to become pregnant or failed.

Lead a quiet life is important. Stress is a common problem for couples seeking a pregnancy because several months when they try and fail to begin to worry and stress levels increase.

How to eliminate stress? Experts recommend trying to live a quiet life avoiding stress and strain.

To this end, some ideas are: yoga, meditation or relaxing massage.

WEEK 3_PREGNANCY TEST EXPERT

I´ve recently bought eight pregnancy tests...of course trying to concieve might make more anxious. But lets be honest taking the test 2 weeks before you should is way too much. I know you must wait but it is easier aid than done. :)

Anyway I should say I´ve learnt a lot. They are not all the same and most importantly check for the sensibility (the amount of hormone detected) this will help you if you want quick results!

GENDER PREDICTION_ SECOND , THIRD OR FOURTH BABY


There´s a lot published around about this... from diets, postures, etc to labs that guarantee the wished sex of the new baby. Well, since I already have a beautiful, HEALTHY, baby boy I´d love to have a girl. But Honestly what every mom really wants its to have her baby (whichever gender god decides) safely in her arms. Don´t you think so?

Still and even though I know it won´t change a thing my feelings towards a new baby that isn´t even near to be on it´s way, I think I ´m going to do my best to help luck.

First of all no matter what sex its important to take folic acid complement to guarantee a healthy baby. After that I´ve read that high calcium and magnesuim diets increase the chances of having a baby girl.Anyway I will check with my doctor so that it has no secondary effects on me or the future baby to come.

Last but not least I will follow the chineese gender prediction calendar. By the way I ´ve found different version of it ;) I´ve chosen the one that matches with my last baby. So if  it works I guess it should be the right one. I honestly do not believe much on it cause if it were for them there would be no baby girls at all!!!!

POLLY CHICCO HIGHCHAIR

Polly Magic is Chicco new highchair which has a defect that must be considered by parents. I´ll post some pictures soon.

Basically I happy with it but believe I must tell you that the support for the tray is quite dangerous. My son hurt himself with it. It´s a design issue that should be considered.

Recomended books!
