Greeting from Prague

First time pregancy @36. Confused...

Hello Everyone!

Scheduled C Section July 30th

Special Feature

Preventing SIDs
It is something that all of us worry about and remains in our minds during those early months in our children's lives. It causes many restless nights and the endless checking on our babies to make sure they are breathing.

Tummy Time Tactics
So what is this "tummy time" that everyone is always talking about? Quite simply, it is an important part of a babies development and a special time that a baby needs to spend laying on their tummies.

Group B Strep Swab
There are many different tests you will have to do during pregnancy and one that is given routinely is called a Group B Streptococcus swab. This test is very important and should not be taken lightly.

Fun Games For Baby
So you've waited nine long months to finally meet your precious little bundle. Now that you have your baby home, what do you do?
