I am carrying extremely low — I must be having a boy!
Again, this is simply an old wives tale and has no scientific backing.
Obese women have a higher possibility of experiencing a miscarriage.
A study published out of Newcastle University has found that obese women have a greater chance of miscarrying. The study focussed on 41,000 pregnancies which were monitored out of five British hospitals, and found that out of this studied group, obese women were around 50 percent more at risk of experiencing a miscarriage, stillbirth or infant morality when compared to women who had more healthy BMIs.
If a newborn baby cries more than usual, and seems very unhappy, uncomfortable, or in pain, it is a sign they might have colic.
Colicky babies cry more often than other babies, for no apparent reason. They may turn bright red, swallow gasps of air, and clench their fists during crying. These behaviors usually begin several weeks after the baby has been born, and may last up to three months.
If you have concerns about your baby’s health, you should:
A)
Ask a friend, parent, or someone who has raised a child
C)
Call and schedule an appointment with you pediatrician
D)
Wait it out and see what happens
While the internet and people with child raising experience are always a great source of information and support, no one knows your baby like you and your pediatrician. Questions or concerns about your baby should always be addressed by a doctor who is familiar with your child. Additionally, do not ignore your parental instinct. If you feel something is off, it is worth investigating.
To get pregnant you must have sex on the day you ovulate, when your egg is released from the ovaries.
Because sperm can survive in the fallopian tubes for up to a week, you don't have to time sex to the exact moment you ovulate to get pregnant. This window includes the five days before and the day of ovulation itself.
Women who have previously given birth have a lower risk of pregnancy while using sponge, cervical cap or diaphragm.
The sponge is more effective for women who have never given birth. If women who have never given birth always use the sponge as directed, 9 out of 100 will become pregnant each year. If women who have never given birth don't always use the sponge as directed, 12 out of 100 will become pregnant each year.
