PREGNANCY - Information and FAQS

PREGNANCY:

Pregnancy is a wonderful experience. I actually enjoyed my pregnancy and delivery. Also registering oneself with www.babycenter.com, helps in going through each step-month in a smooth manner.

Foods to avoid, foods to eat. Excercise - helpful ones etc. all could be found here. Another book that helped me is - What to expect when you are expecting - can be easily available in bookstores like landmark and odyssey.

All in all, pregnancy is a stage where you have to enjoy, relax and be active. Don't sit around doing nothing because it makes you dull both mentally and physically. Don't starve even if you have morning sickness. Don't worry about the weight gain. You can work on it after the baby is born. worry if you are losing weight. Consult a doctor.

PARENTING:

Heartiest congratulations on becomg parents :) Now comes a part in life that tests your love, affection, grit, disciplining and above all patience with the little one that is solely depending on you to get introduced to the way of the world.

The first month is usually the hardest in the 1st year as your life changes so much. Accomodation in your home, life and relationships is the name of the game. Sleepless nights and sleepy days are here to stay. Of course, there might be a few exceptions :)

The first 6 months are pretty uneventful as the baby cannot do much movind around other than turning around or rolling, but after that keep a watchful eye. Also make sure the place they sleep is either a crib or abed at floor level with enough cushions to form a barrier. SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is something to watch out for. Do not put too many sheets below or over the baby.
This is to avoid suffocation.
