Pregnancy Tracker

Several Due Date Calculators And Pregnancy Planners

A helpful pregnancy tracker week by week would help you in keeping  tabs on the progress that you are making through your pregnancy. Through a pregnancy weekly, your doctor will be able to estimate the pregnancy due date. The pregnancy due date is simply an estimate of when pregnancy is at term and labour will begin.Nine months may seem like a long way away, but, actually, it is just around the corner and will come much faster than you think.

Chinese Birth Charts are a fun way of predicting the gender of the baby. There are so many myths about baby gender prediction or so called old wives tales so don't take them too seriously,

Your Health In Pregnancy

Staying healthy during pregnancy depends entirely on you, it's crucial to arm yourself with information about the many ways to keep you and your baby as healthy as possible. The key to protecting the health of your child is to get regular prenatal care. If you think you're pregnant, call your health care provider to schedule an appointment. You should schedule your first examination as soon as possible.

At this first visit, your health care provider will probably do a pregnancy test, and will figure out how many weeks pregnant you are based on a physical examination and the date of your last period. He or she will also use this information to predict your delivery date (an ultrasound done sometime later in your pregnancy will help to verify that date).

Exercising is a great way of keeping fit and healthy during pregnancy and can reduce the risk of premature birth, always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. If you're healthy and there are no complicating risk factors, most health care providers will want to see you:

every 4 weeks until the 28th week of pregnancy, then every 2 weeks until 36 weeks, then once a week until delivery.

Throughout your pregnancy, your health care provider will check your weight and blood pressure while also checking the growth and development of your baby (by doing things like feeling your abdomen, listening for the foetal heartbeat starting during the second trimester, and measuring your belly). During the span of your pregnancy, you'll also have prenatal tests, including blood, urine, and cervical tests, and probably at least one ultrasound.
