<p>Usually women gain weight according to the range of body mass index.
<p>The <strong>body mass index</strong> represents the expression in numbers of the body proportion according to the height and the weight of each person. If a woman is <strong>underweight</strong> for her height, she should gain from 28 to 40 pounds. If a woman is <strong>overweight </strong>for her height she should gain 15 to 25 pounds and if she’s obese she should gain 11 to 20 pounds. If the woman has <strong>twins</strong> she should gain in normal conditions 37 to 54 pounds and if she’s obese she should gain 25 to 42 pounds.
<p>The solution for keeping a normal weight during pregnancy, meaning not to gain more pounds that the normal prediction of doctors for your height and weight is to have a healthy diet and participate in a proper exercise program for pregnant women. When you are pregnant you should not take serious the saying “to eat for two”, in fact when you are pregnant you only have to eat 300 extra calories, less in the first trimester.

<p>A part of the weight gained during pregnancy represents the baby, the placenta, the amniotic fluid and the bigger breasts help you to be prepared for the breastfeeding of the baby. This probably gives a hope to the woman that they will lose weight and will probably return to almost their initial weight the one they had before pregnancy and if women do not usually come back to their initial form before pregnancy up to one year if they follow a well-balanced, healthy diet and if they do physical exercises they will succeed.
<p>Over the Internet you may find many different types of pregnancy weight gain calculators.

<p>The pregnancy <strong><em>weight gain calculator</em></strong> includes in fact 3 basic parts: first a <strong>calculator</strong> that contains 3 boxes: one- weight before pregnancy, two- week of pregnancy, three- your height, second a <strong>pregnancy weight gain chart </strong>that contain<strong> </strong>5 boxes with the result for your information that you completed above, meaning pregnancy week, the underweight value, the normal value, the overweight value and yours and the third part contains the approximate weight of the maternal stores nutrients: muscle development, increased body fluid, breast growth, enlarged uterus, amniotic fluid, placenta, baby.
<p>All this type of information is approximate, because every woman is different and every body acts in different ways during pregnancy. But, under no circumstance the woman should fallow a drastic diet during the pregnancy or immediately after if she is breastfeeding the baby, because the baby develops properly only if the woman has a healthy diet during the pregnancy (and after, if she is breastfeeding the baby).

<p>The <strong>Pregnancy Calendar</strong> will help you understand better the development of your pregnancy and of the baby that forms inside your womb and that develops, week by week through your pregnancy. The pregnancy calendar will also include ultrasound pictures along with practical advice about being pregnant from physical issues to emotional states that you pass through. The ultrasound pictures will include pictures from the smallest embryo at the beginning to the largest baby in the ninth pregnancy month. This part will be very pleasant and emotional for the future mother and for the future father also. As a way to inform yourself you should calculate your due date and you may see the pregnancy due date forums to talk with other pregnant women and, why not, to find out interesting things, coming from other women’ experience.

<p>Every woman is special and in the same time different in her way. The symptoms of the pregnant woman, the changes of her body during the pregnancy, the development of the baby may be different from a woman to another. But, if you have atypical symptoms, or if you feel that something is not right you should contact immediately your health care provider.
<p>Doctors identify three trimesters during pregnancy.

<p><strong>First pregnancy trimester – </strong>during this pregnancy trimester women usually find out that they are pregnant, some because they have missed their period, moment in which they do a pregnancy test, others because of the morning sickness, food cravings and vomiting.
<p>In this period the baby forms and his internal organs including heart, brain, lungs and kidneys, then arms, legs and other parts of the body form as well. The heart starts beating very early.

<p><strong>Second pregnancy trimester</strong> -  In this pregnancy trimester the symptoms from the first semester usually disappear and women start to experience an increased urination, your belly will begin to show and you will increase in weight. Now, the risk of miscarriage is lower. During this trimester all of the basics for life are developed.

<p><strong>Third pregnancy trimester</strong> – this pregnancy trimester has probably the most interesting pregnancy symptoms. Women usually feel back aches, leg cramps, heart burn, fatigue and swollen feet. Through this pregnancy trimester the baby gets ready to be born and the risk of preterm labor still exists. The baby deposits brown fat to keep him worm after birth, his lungs mature, the fingernails extend beyond the tips. The hair from the baby’s body will be gone at the end of the pregnancy. The women will experience the increase of her weight, their pubic bone will measure about 40 cms from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus. The belly will became bigger and look different to every woman.
<p>After a period of three pregnancy trimesters, after nine pregnancy months, after 266 pregnancy days the best moment of the pregnancy period and probably from her life arrives. The mother and the father will finally meet their baby, the product of their love and their most natural and divine wish.
<p>When the mother will see the baby she will probably forget about all the slight or big inconveniences that she experienced during pregnancy.

Probably many people who see this headline would wonder if the person who wrote this is mentally healthy or if this is not a bad joke. But, let me tell you that it is true from one point of view. The man who gave birth to a little baby girl in 2008 was at he’s birth a woman. I know that you probably find it hard to believe, but be patient because I will explain everything to you. Because in the world in 2010 there are two cases of men who gave birth to children, only one officially recognized by the authorities, I will start with the beginning and talk about the first man who gave birth to a child.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->
The name of the American who wrote the history by being the first man who gave birth to a child is Thomas Beatie, a transgender of 34 years old. Thomas Beatie was a girl and in adolescence she decided to became a he and made a sex change surgery, but didn’t removed the internal reproductive female organs. He got married and his wife could not get pregnant. They wanted more than anything in the world to have a biological child and they decided to make an in vitro fertilization intervention. First, they had to face the suspicion, mistrust and disapproval of his wife’s family, then the ignorance and disapproval of the doctors and not mention the fact that the religious people, neighbors, family friends and people from around the world blamed them for this. They didn’t care about anything and they go on with their steps toward the purpose meaning having a biological baby. They first had a miscarriage, but they tried again with 8 doctors participating to the fertilization in vitro intervention. When Beatie was 5 months of pregnancy he released the bomb to the all world. The news made the tour of the world and created big controversy. He could carry the pregnancy to the term and in July 2008 he gave birth to a healthy baby girl called Susan Juliette. The breastfeeding became the job of the mother meaning Susan, the wife of Beatie. They were very happy and started to take care of their baby girl like a normal family. They considered themselves as being a normal family from their point of view, not from the point of view of the rest of the world.

In an interview given after the birth both parents made a request asking the people to be more tolerant, because they had the most natural wish in the world, to have a biological baby and this was the only way, they also sad that they love each other and their children and that they will take best care of the baby. In 2009 Thomas Beatie gave birth to a baby boy. In 2009, another American man of 30 years, Scott Moore announced that he was pregnant with a baby boy and that will give birth in 2009. His story is similar to the one of Thomas Beatie, Moore had done a sex change surgery. This story is a little bit abnormal because Scott Moore is legally married with Thomas Moore, because Scott still has a female birth certificate. Thomas Moore was born also woman and has two children from a previous relationship with a women who passed away. The couple had a baby boy in 2009 and was very happy and excited because they passed all the obstacles in their way and made their dream come true.

Have no dought about it, the pictures are true.

D&C or dilatation and curettage – is a surgical intervention, made by the doctor in witch he dilates the cervix with the purpose of emptying the uterus by scraping the uterine lining. D&C is a general term that defines the surgical treatment of a miscarriage. In the first pregnancy trimester this intervention is called D&A or Dilatation and Aspiration and is done by the doctor using a suction curette to empty the uterus. This procedure is sometimes medically necessary, for example if a woman has unusually heavy bleeding as a miscarriage complication this surgical intervention may save the life of the woman, because is a way to stop the bleeding from the source or if the doctor thinks that the miscarriage in unlikely to complete without the D&G intervention or, in some cases women prefer to have this intervention done rather then wait for it to begin naturally.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->
Benefits and risks of the D&C procedure:
Benefits:
-the rate of unplanned hospital admission for women who don’t have D&C is bigger than for the ones who have miscarriages with medical intervention or no intervention.
-the D&G intervention has the advantage that the physical part of the miscarriage ends more quickly.
-during the intervention it may be collected easier a sample for chromosomal testing on the baby.
Risks:
-puncturing the uterus
-weakening the cervix
-scarring in the uterus
The risks of this intervention are minor and occur occasionally. Some women may prefer the D&C procedure because it finishes more quickly the intervention lasts around 15 minutes, but others prefer the natural miscarriage because they consider the D&C procedure traumatic and stressful. Doctors allow women to decide the procedure that they prefer, only if don’t put in risk their health. The procedure may be done in a hospital or in the doctor’s office. Doctors may ask you not to eat, drink alcohol or smoke for about 24 hours before the procedure. The procedure may be done with local anesthesia and the women may feel moderate or severe cramping or general anesthesia during witch the women will not feel a think and will not have any memory about it when they wake up.

The procedure usually has side effects as moderate bleeding and cramp. Sometimes women may experience heavy bleeding, symptoms of infection or severe cramping, and if so is advisable to contact your doctor. It is recommended to avoid tampons and sexual intercourse for one or two weeks after the procedure. The period will be normal after six or eight weeks depending on the how much the pregnancy advanced when the miscarriage happened. After the D&C surgical operation couples should wait at least two menstrual cycles before trying to have a baby again and the women to experience again the pregnancy. After this D&C procedure the woman should go to doctor for a check up after 2 or three weeks, then if the women wants to get pregnant she should talk with her doctor and he will advise her if is safe to get pregnant again and if her body is prepared for a pregnancy.

Swedish Bitters starts to play an important role in the modern lifestyle that we have today. In some cultures that use the natural plants, the bitter taste was very common in the daily diet.

The elements of the bitter activates, tones and strengthens the liver, gall bladder and all digestive organs an through those actions reestablishing the equilibrium of the organism.
The characteristic feature of the Swedish Bitters is the fair combination of ingredients. Each ingredient of this elixir has a great effect on our body, there for the combined components have an even greater effect, than each substance considered separately.
The first information that exists about the Bitters formula come back from the Middle Age period, but until in the 18th century Dr. Samst labeled the formula for Swedish Bitters. In the 20^th century Maria Treben, also known as European herbalist, reintroduced the Swedish Bitters on the market and made it known again. The experience and the studies showed that the Swedish Bitters have positive affects on multiple affections, such as: digestive problems, general detoxifying of the organism, allergies, cold and flu symptoms, insomnia and those are only some of the most common medical affections that the Swedish Bitters treat.

• relief from morning sickness;
• used as herbs to induce labor, if administered in the last 14 days of pregnancy;
• to eliminate the placenta after the birth more easily;
• to regulate the menstrual cycle of the women.

As we know, the pregnant women is not allowed to take any medications during the pregnancy in order to not influence the proper development of the baby. So, the big question is, is the Swedish Bitters safe to use during the pregnancy? The answer to this question can be found in the Swedish Bitters Manuscript, the book of Maria Treben, in fact, you can assume according to the book that the bitters are safe to use even during the pregnancy period, but the book wasn’t written by a doctor and the mixture wasn’t analyzed by the medical staff.

The choice is your either you want to use this plant mixture during the pregnancy, but you have to take into consideration that effect of each ingredient, the effect of all ingredients forming the mixture and the possible side effect. Before you take Swedish Bitters during the pregnancy you better consult this option with your doctor.

The principal on witch the due date of pregnancy of the pregnancy wheel is calculated is the Naegele Rule. Naegele was a German obstetrician who first developed the standard pregnancy period of 40 weeks. According to his principle the pregnancy of the woman should last 10 lunar months or 280 days, he calculates the due pregnancy date using the first day of the last woman’s period as a starting point , then considered the conception as happening 2 weeks later and the real period of the pregnancy as 38 weeks or 266 days, meaning 8 and ½ calendar months. So, one week after conception the woman is, in fact in the third week of the pregnancy. Today many health care practitioners and gynecologists use this method for calculating the pregnancy due date. The principle of Naegele’s Rule is simple and logical meaning the pregnancy due date is 9 months + 7 days (after the first day of the last period) or simply calculate 280 days after the first day of the last period.

The pregnancy wheel helps you to calculate automatically and more easily the date of the birth of you baby. The pregnancy wheel has 2 indicator arrows, when the first indicator arrow is positioned on the first day of the last period, the other indicator arrow is positioned on the expected due date. Is as simple as that! The information about the symptoms of the mother during the pregnancy, about the development and growth of the baby week by week are illustrated. The pregnancy e-wheel – is an ideal substitute for the manual pregnancy wheel and estimates the measurements of the fetal. It can estimate the weight and length of the fetus using different parameters.
