Early Stages of Pregnancy

Posted by Lianny 8 March, 2010 (0) Comment

Do you know early stages of pregnancy? Knowing Early  stages of pregnancy is important for women who start to get pregnant or women who have planning to get pregnant after married. Pregnancy is one of the most exciting and anxious times in a woman’s life.  She contends with alternating feelings of joy and feelings of fear.

In my experience, I bought many book about pregnancy, because I don’t know everything about pregnancy first. I feel worried in my early stages of pregnancy. Now I have nice children and I understand that knowing early stages of pregnancy is very important for pregnant woman, so that she will enjoy her pregnancy week by week until childbirth.

The early stages of pregnancy can be a confusing time for pregnant women.  A couple may be excited about the news of the pregnancy; they may also be confused or concerned, for any number of reasons.  They may be far from family and friends and the support system that comes from a familiar environment. The couple may have very different viewpoints about the pregnancy.  If at all possible, it is during the early stages of pregnancy that the couple should discuss these issues.

During her pregnancy, the woman will encounter several changes to her body and her emotions too. Her emotions will not stabil like before. Now she feel happy and a few minutes more she feel angry, this condition is common happen for her. So her husband must understand about this.

She may have health problems that will complicate a pregnancy.  While the pregnancy won’t be the same for her partner, a woman may expect her partner to help her during the process. During the early stages of pregnancy, it is a good idea if the couple learns what they can about the pregnancy.  What will happen in the first stages of the pregnancy?  Will anything stay the same throughout the pregnancy?  Will the woman be interested in sex?  Both the woman and her partner should think about the things that concern them most and be honest with each other about these issues.

Once the issues are identified, they can research and see what information they can find to answer their questions.  They may both want to visit the woman’s physician together several times so they can get information.  The physician can be a valuable source of information and both the woman and her partner should feel comfortable with the doctor.

The couple should make extra effort to communicate during the early stages of pregnancy.  They should be happy about the pregnancy and comfortable talking about any and all issues related to it.  If one of them feels uncomfortable discussing anything, the other partner may not understand and this can cause problems that may magnify as the pregnancy progresses.  If the couple can improve and refine their communication skills during the early stages of pregnancy, they will find that the last stages will be smoother for everyone.

The early stages of pregnancy are a good time to start discussing child care issues.  This might seem odd, but if the couple starts looking at how other children behave, they can then discuss their own feelings about how to raise children.  If they disagree, it may be helpful if they can establish guidelines for managing disagreements.  Though these sound like simple issues, it isn’t advisable for a couple to wait to talk to each other about any issue related to the pregnancy or child rearing.  Time goes quickly.  If the couple doesn’t start talking during the early stages of pregnancy, they may find that they won’t have a lot of time later to discuss the topics that are important to them.

Don’t be afraid, just enjoy your pregnancy, be relax, make a good communication with your partner, and you will think that everything in your early stages of pregnancy is okay. You will enjoy this amazing moment day after day.

Pregnancy Fitness and Diet

Posted by Lianny 14 October, 2009 (0) Comment

Pregnancy, Fitness, and Diet: The Perfect Time for New Beginnings!

Pregnant women are sort of like common property; an eminent domain of the most personal kind. Suddenly strangers tell you the most personal stories of their own experiences with child birth, and offer advice on pregnancy, fitness, and diet. They assume the right to touch your belly, and offer you tidbits of advice, handed out like cookies that are a little bit burned on the edges, cookies you are not sure are safe to eat.

One moment you laugh. The next moment, you cry. One moment you are so sick you think you could never touch food again, the next you suddenly love some food you have hated all your life. Pregnancy is not a disease, it is not a bad thing, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is one of the most natural things in the world. Perhaps the most difficult part of pregnancy is sifting through all those pieces of gravel to get to the gold.

Pregnancy, fitness, and diet, are not the kind of things you want to leave to chance. Pregnancy may be natural, but naturally, there are things you can do to make it better, easier, and less complicated. Since you are making decisions for two people now, you should do your home work, and make sure you are doing things right! Pregnancy, fitness, and diet are separate branches of the same tree, and now that you are pregnant, it is a great time to make healthy decisions and changes, not just for the duration of your pregnancy, but for life. Your responsibility to live a healthy lifestyle does not end when you give birth. While you are, you can make changes that will teach good, healthy fitness and diet habits to your child, as well as providing the best start possible for pregnancy, fitness, and diet.

Online research is a great place to begin learning about your pregnancy, fitness and diet. Research abounds extolling the benefits to both mother and child. Dietary considerations such as adding folic acid, calcium, and iron should actually begin before getting pregnant, to give your baby the best possible beginning in life. Once you are pregnant, prenatal vitamins are a good start. Add to that:
* 6 to 11 servings of grain products
* 3 to 5 servings of vegetables
* 2 to 4 servings of fruits
* 4 to 6 servings of milk and milk products
* 3 to 4 servings of meat and protein foods
* 6 to 8 glasses of water, fruit juice, or milk
Limit fatty foods and sweets. Simple choices like drinking milk or juice instead of regular or diet soda, and eating fortified foods like bread and cereal, make a lot of difference.
Research fitness plans, and decide with your prenatal health care team what they recommend and if there are any special health concerns or restrictions in regards to your pregnancy, fitness, or diet. There is no time like the present to start, and the best place to start is right at your fingertips.

Posted by Lianny 7 September, 2008 (0) Comment

PREGNANCY STAGES

Pregnancy stages are the three trimesters during which your baby progresses from an embryo to fetus, to the time it is born as a recognizable tiny human. Pregnancy trimester is divided into three stages of three month each, which is the first trimester, the second trimester and the third semester.

The First Trimester

The first trimester is a strange time. During the first trimester, your baby is growing at a tremendous rate. You also may look pretty much like the same woman who is not pregnant. But your body is going trough changes faster. Hormones are firing away and all sorts of other chemical are doing your stuff. The resulting side effects are varied, not only from woman to woman, but for each individual woman from hour to hour.

The second Trimester

The second trimester is the kind of temporary return to near normal. It’s the proverbial calm before the explosion. One cool thing does occur in the second trimester: you can actually feel your baby. The baby makes its presence known through kicking. The second trimester is also the time that many expecting mothers will undergo ultrasound. Ultrasound is taking pictures with sound waves.

The Third Trimester

This is the last trimester of pregnancy stages. The third trimester brings more of the same-only worse. First off, sitting down will be an effort for you and something that is impossible to do gracefully.

Once you have traveled trough all the stages of pregnancy, you will begin a brand new chapter in your life as a mother. Though the journey may seem long and hard, enjoy it as much as you can. All of the pains that you are happened will be well worth the struggle. The amazing growth and development of the baby within just a few months is one of the greatest miracles of motherhood.
