Pregnancy Calendar, Week 1 and 2

At this stage you are not actually pregnant yet. During the first two weeks you will begin your monthly cycle, ovulate and conception will take place.

Our pregnancy calendar is based on a 40 week timetable, so your pregnancy will actually only start during week 3.

How is your due date calculated?

We calculate your due date by simply adding 280 days to the day when you started your monthly cycle. The human gestation period is actually 266 days, so by adding 14 days, which is the average ovulation period to the first day of your cycle, we come to the 280 day figure. Of course if you have been monitoring your cycle and know when you ovulated, it does make it easier to calculate your conception and due dates easier.

Your health and your pregnancy

Your health will play the ultimate role in your pregnancy. It is possibly one of the most important factors which you must consider over the course of your pregnancy. What you eat will help build, or possible destroy, the development and growth of your baby. It will certainly have a direct effect on how healthy your baby will be. Eating a nutritiously balanced diet, regular exercise and plenty of rest will see you whizz through your pregnancy, delivering a healthy, happy baby.

If you are still smoking and trying to fall pregnant, then now is a good time to stop! You and your baby will both benefit greatly from it. It's probably also a great idea to cut down of your caffeine and alcohol intake now as well.

Important Cloth Diaper Basics
hanks to the recent "green" way of thinking, people are starting to look more seriously into alternatives to disposable diapers. Cloth diapers have come a long way over the past decade and are nothing like the cloth diapers of the past.

Returning To Work Post Pregnancy
Some women are lucky to have lots of time off after having a baby, while others need to go back to work as soon as possible. No matter how long a maternity leave you may have had to spend with your baby, going back to work can be a hard transition...one that you are not looking forward to making.

Great Breastfeeding Tips
Although breastfeeding is a wonderful experience for you and your baby, it is not one that comes without hardships. Breastfeeding at first, can be very difficult and hard to commit to. It doesn't have to be this way though.
