Being pregnant isn't an excuse to binge on your favourite foods. In fact, doing so can be very unhealthy for both the expectant mother and her baby. Daily calorie requirements will only shift marginally, and increase by around 300 calories a day.

It’s normally okay for a couple to try again once the woman has experienced their first period following the miscarriage.

To an extent. A woman who has experienced a single miscarriage has the same chances of experiencing another miscarriage with her next pregnancy as a woman who has had zero miscarriages. The chances of a miscarriage only increase with two or more experienced miscarriages.

Never use cortisone cream, or any other treatment cream, without specific recommendation from a physician. Many creams may be toxic to infants, and can be absorbed into your baby’s bloodstream through his or her skin. Do not cover the surface constantly with hats; instead allow it to have access to air. The skin breathing will help heal the surface. Your own shampoo may be too harsh, or have certain chemicals that are dangerous to your baby. You should only use mild baby shampoo for your baby’s baths or washing.

Common problems with a woman's reproductive organs, like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease can worsen with age and also affect fertility. These conditions might cause the fallopian tubes to be blocked, so the egg can't travel through the tubes into the uterus.

Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause fallopian tube damage.
