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.

Hello Everyone!

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?
