Your Eyes and Pregnancy

by Jacqueline Lloyd

Pregnancy is a truly wondrous experience. Every woman is aware that there are changes to her body that are entirely natural and obvious but many do not know or consider the effects of pregnancy upon the eyes.

It is important that you know of the changes that take place with your vision and eye health but do not be alarmed. The vast majority of reasonably healthy women suffer no lasting eye health or vision problems during pregnancy and very many do not notice any changes whatsoever.

Symptoms of Infertility

There is No Real Infertility Symptom

Infertility is a symptom and a disease by itself. You will not really find symptoms that will tell you that you are infertile. The fact that you do not have children is a symptom by itself; as is the affliction as I would not call it a disease. Infertility is diagnosed only after a battery of tests is made as a result of which the doctor proclaims that it is not possible for you to have children. More on Symptoms of Infertility

Pregnancy for Daddies

by Patricia Hughes

Pregnancy can be a difficult time for the expectant mother and a confusing time for the expectant father. Some men feel disconnected or even isolated when their wives are pregnant. There is a lot you can do to get involved and feel a part of the pregnancy. Knowledge is power, so spend time learning about pregnancy and birth. Support your wife or partner by sharing this special time in both your lives.

Stages of Labor

by Patricia Hughes

Knowing what to expect in labor helps reduce fear and stress. There are three stages of labor and delivery. All women go through these stages, but each at her own pace. Some move quickly through the stages. Others linger in one stage before moving on to the next. The time it takes will vary from woman to woman. The average length of a first time labor is between ten and twenty hours. Subsequent labors are often faster, but not always.

The First Stage
The first stage of labor breaks down into three parts, early, active and transition phases. In early labor, you may not be sure if you are actually in labor. Contractions may be irregular in the beginning, with more than ten minutes between contractions. The pain isn’t too intense and you may not be sure if these are real contractions. Gradually, the pains get longer and stronger, indicating real labor.

How to Write a Birth Plan

How to Write a Birth Plan

A birth plan is a basic statement of what you want and do not want in your birth experience. Writing a plan helps you consider what you want for labor, delivery and after the baby is born. It can help you communicate with your doctor and hospital staff. Give a copy to your doctor, have one in your file at the hospital and pack a copy in your bag for the hospital.
