Pregnancy due dates are an estimate of when your baby will make his or her appearance in this world. The truth is only five percent of women deliver on their official “due date.” Why so much flexibility?

A typical gestation for a pregnancy is somewhere between 37 and 42 weeks. Once a woman carries her baby to 37 weeks doctors consider her full-term. Just because a woman is full-term however, doesn’t mean her baby is ready to make his or her appearance in the world. Most first time moms quickly learn that often pregnancies extend to 41 weeks or more. (more…)

Throughout your pregnancy you will find there are times you have no interest at all in intimate relationships with your partner, and other times when you are eager to jump right on him.

Most women experience many unpleasant side effects during their first trimester of pregnancy, which lasts roughly 13 weeks. These side effects may include morning sickness, which can put a damper on one’s amorous spirit. If you are not feeling well during this time, let your partner know and spend some quality time cuddling together to stay intimate and let your partner know you still care deeply about them.

Many women experience cramping during pregnancy. While cramping during pregnancy may be a sign something is wrong, often it is a normal side effect of pregnancy. How do you know if cramping is normal or not? Let’s look at cramping in more detail so you understand why it may happen and what is going on in your body during pregnancy.

Cramping In Early Pregnancy
During each of my three pregnancies, I experienced cramping during early pregnancy. During my first pregnancy this cramping concerned me to no end. I experienced cramping from pregnancy weeks 2 through about week 12. Sometimes my cramps were so severe I was confident I was going to have a miscarriage or get my period. (more…)

Gaining Weight May Put Your Baby At Risk
A new study reveals women who gain weight following their first pregnancy may experience more complications during subsequent pregnancies and deliveries.

The study, conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, suggests a relationship exists between pregnancy complications and inter-pregnancy weight gain.

Evidence is mounting supporting the notion that women should do everything they can to maintain a normal weight prior to pregnancies and to gain weight within the recommended weight ranges during their pregnancy. The study also suggests that women should follow a sensible diet and exercise program to lose pregnancy weight prior to conceiving another baby. (more…)

Postpartum Depression and Stress
Recently I had three babies in three years. Throughout each pregnancy I felt largely upbeat, although tired. I never had any difficulty however, with depression during or after my pregnancies.

Now that I have three children under three, I am finding my schedule more hectic than ever. I am juggling the three kids, working part-time and pursuing my MBA online through Andrew Jackson University.  I will be the first to tell you that takes much energy.

No small feat! Amid being so busy, it is sometimes easy to not pay attention to your own physical body and needs. Who has time to rest when the kids need dinner, the house needs cleaning and work needs to be finished? Of late, I noticed some sneaky symptoms of depression I decided to seek care for.

Signs of Depression
Depression sometimes sneaks up on people unexpectedly. Many times depression creeps up on unsuspecting moms even months after they give birth to their children. This is why they often do not recognize the symptoms as possibly related to their pregnancy.

What are some common signs you may suffer from PPD or a related condition? Here are a few examples:

• Crying that lasts days on end for no reason.
• Persistent feelings of sadness or the blues that do not resolve.
• Suicidal thoughts.
• Negative or harmful thoughts toward yourself or your baby.
• Depression that interferes with your ability to carry out normal tasks, including work tasks or your ability to care for your children.
• Inability to concentrate that may detract from work or your studies.
• Feeling hopeless or helpless.
• Poor motivation and poor concentration.

Fortunately, there is much help if you or someone you know suffers from this problem. There are natural remedies some people use to help treat forms of depression, including stress relief. Many moms find starting their own home business a terrific way to help reduce their stress and relieve some of the burden associated with working and taking care of young children.

In severe cases some mothers may need prescription medication intervention.  Sometimes prescription medication works well when used as adjunct therapy for patients interested in using holistic healthcare practices. 

The good news is most people can learn to distress their lives, balance their career and still enjoy all that parenting, pregnancy and life has to offer.
