Women who snore three or more nights a week have a greater chance of smaller than average babies
Studies have found a relationship between women who have obstructive sleep apnoea and smaller babies. The reason for this lies in the fact that sleep apnoea causes an obstruction of oxygen, which in turn means less oxygen reaches the baby. Though women who snore should not panic, as further research is needed to give more credence to this case of causation.
The first period after a miscarriage is always extremely heavy.
As has always been the case, periods will vary from woman to woman. The same goes for the first period following a miscarriage. Some women will have a lighter period; some will experience a heavier than normal period and others may have a period that is similar to their past periods.
A woman’s mood can increase the risks of miscarriage.
Women who feel sad or angry don’t have a greater chance of a miscarriage, though if this type of mood does persist it’s recommended that they see a doctor for advice. In regards to stress and anxiety, a link between them and a miscarriage has not been concretely established. Though BIG things, like a death in the family, divorce or moving, may have some impact upon the health of the pregnancy, but the link between these two factors is at present under-researched.
A one year old should be able to pull themselves into a standing position, or when supported by someone else.

A one year old may be able to take steps between pieces of furniture, holding on to them for support, stand along without help for a short time, or take several small steps on their own.

If you were overweight before pregnancy, you should gain between 15 and 25 pounds. If you were obese before pregnancy, you should gain between 11 and 20 pounds.
