    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ For those who are waiting to become pregnant, any and all signs suddenly become pregnancy related. As we watch our bodies with a vigilance never previously experienced, we become unofficial experts on the early <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/signs+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">signs of pregnancy</a> =96 each somewhat abnormal behavior we exhibit suddenly telling the story of a pregnancy. <br /><br /> There are many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+signs+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">early signs of pregnancy</a>; unfortunately many of these signs can also be attributed to other things. The only way to know for sure if you are pregnant is to see a doctor. Early <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+pregnancy+tests" rel="tag">home pregnancy tests</a> are also incredibly accurate and can be purchased over-the-counter at most retail drug outlets. If you are experiencing any early signs of pregnancy, take an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+pregnancy+test" rel="tag">early pregnancy test</a> as soon as possible. <br /><br /> One of the early signs of pregnancy is fatigue. Most pregnant women will tell you that a "pregnant" tired is like a tired they have never experienced before or after. But if you are trying to become pregnant or have never been pregnant before then exhaustion caused by stress, sickness, or lack of sleep can seem like one of the early signs of pregnancy. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/breast+tenderness" rel="tag">Breast tenderness</a> is also one of the early signs of pregnancy. A newly pregnant body will begin to ready itself for motherhood almost immediately. The breasts will begin to change and grow as they prepare for milk production. However, breast tenderness can also be a sign of impending menstruation as well as a number of other conditions. <br /><br /> Additionally, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/nausea+and+vomiting" rel="tag">nausea and vomiting</a> are also early signs of pregnancy that women experience in the first trimester. While these signs can also be contributed to stomach illness, if they are persistent and timely then they are often early signs of pregnancy. Some women may also experience strange food cravings =96 even early on in pregnancy. Foods that they never would have thought of eating are suddenly irresistible. <br /><br /> No matter what you experience or do not experience as your early signs of pregnancy, it is imperative that you see a doctor if you suspect that you are pregnant. Early prenatal care will go a long way towards protecting the health of you and your baby.   <bio>For easy to understand, in depth information about pregnancy visit our ezGuide 2 <a href="http://pregnancy.ezguide2.com" >http://pregnancy.ezguide2.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Most women are aware of the early <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/signs+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">signs of pregnancy</a> and when they witness these signs, they began to think they are pregnant. Unfortunately, jumping to conclusions can lead to disappointment if they signs are a result of something other than a pregnancy. So before you decide you must be pregnant, you will definitely want to take a pregnancy test to be sure. With a number of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+pregnancy+tests" rel="tag">early pregnancy tests</a> to choose from, it is easy to cross check the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+signs+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">early signs of pregnancy</a>. <br /><br /> Early Signs of Pregnancy <br /><br /> The most well known of the early signs of pregnancy is a missed period. Often women will automatically assume they are pregnant, if they miss menstruation. The reason this <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+sign+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">early <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sign+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">sign of pregnancy</a></a> can be a false reading is that other things can cause it. When a woman is under mental stress, has been exercising far more than usual, or is producing a lot of progesterone and estrogen hormones, the woman can delay or even stop ovulation briefly. This will cause the menstruation to be delayed. <br /><br /> Another of the early signs of pregnancy is morning sickness. If pregnant, this shows up when you are four to six weeks into the pregnancy. The reason this sign can be a deception is that it could be due to a stomach flu. Another cause of the "morning sickness" can be what is called "<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/phantom+pregnancy" rel="tag">phantom pregnancy</a>. This occurs when a woman wishes she were pregnant so much that she begins to show signs of it. <br /><br /> The next of the early signs of pregnancy that can deceive you is tenderness and swelling of the breasts. If you experience this sign, there is a possibility that it could be due to breast cancer. So if you don't end up being pregnant, you will want to have this checked out immediately. Another possible reason that your breasts are swelling and tender could be due to upcoming ovulation. Some women aren't as aware that this occurs with their ovulation until they are trying to become pregnant. The raised awareness of the body can send false early signs of pregnancy. <br /><br /> Feeling like you need to urinate frequently is one of the popular early signs of pregnancy. Just like pregnancy, both diabetes and drinking a lot of aerated drinks (colas, fantas, etc) causes you to feel like you need to urinate a lot. <br /><br /> If you are experiencing sudden cravings for certain foods, especially foods you don't usually eat, this can be another of the false early signs of pregnancy. Sometimes people crave certain foods because there body is lacking specific vitamins and/or minerals. You crave the food that contains the vitamins and/or minerals that you need.  There are a number of the early signs of pregnancy that can be read incorrectly. So it is important to cross check with an early pregnancy test before making any assumptions. If you aren't pregnant and you have the signs, take action accordingly. For more information on early signs of pregnancy and for easy purchase of ept early pregnancy tests, start looking online.   <bio>Dr. April Davall is webmaster of <a href="http://pregnancypalace.com" >http://pregnancypalace.com</a>, which goal is to tell All about pregnancy, from Early Pregnancy Symptoms to Birth.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are many different <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+pregnancy+signs" rel="tag">early pregnancy signs</a> that you can look for if you're concerned that you might be pregnant. In many cases, pregnancy is a joyous occasion to be looked forward to and celebrated, and it can be heartbreaking to get your hopes up only to have them crash down as another <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+test" rel="tag">pregnancy test</a> comes back negative. That said, there are many symptoms to look for that might let you know you're pregnant way before the test comes back positive. One of the earliest and easiest to detect signs is simply feeling pregnant. Women tend to have a certain intuition about it, and in many cases if you feel pregnant, it's because you are pregnant. <br /><br /> One of the more obvious early pregnancy signs is a missed period. If you've gone for a couple of months without having a period, you might want to see a doctor. Less obvious signs include fatigue or exhaustion. This is caused by increased levels of hormones combined with all of the changes that your body is going through. Many times napping will help to ease your tiredness, so make sure to take <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/frequent+naps" rel="tag">frequent naps</a> if you're experiencing these symptoms. <br /><br /> One of the most infamous early pregnancy signs is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/morning+sickness" rel="tag">morning sickness</a>. The symptoms of nausea, queasiness and vomiting can hit you when you least expect it, and can be a result of drinking coffee or tea on an empty stomach. This can be eased by eating small and frequent meals. Many women claim that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/saltine+crackers" rel="tag">saltine crackers</a> and milk have eased their sick feelings, so you might want to try that first if you're dealing with morning sickness. Sensitivity to aromas as well as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/food+cravings" rel="tag">food cravings</a> and aversion to certain foods can also contribute to the queasiness, but taking good prenatal vitamins or ingesting a pure fish oil caplet each day can help you with those.   <bio>If you're an expecting mother, visit the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+forum" rel="tag">Pregnancy Forum</a> at <a href="http://www.ThePregnancyForum.com/" >http://www.ThePregnancyForum.com/</a> today and learn more about early pregnancy signs!  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Many women know when they could be pregnant and are looking at the very <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+signs+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">early <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/signs+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">signs of pregnancy</a></a> to see if indeed they are pregnant. What are some of these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+pregnancy+signs" rel="tag">early pregnancy signs</a> that usually occur before week 5 of pregnancy? <br /><br /> Tenderness in Breasts <br /><br /> Early signs of pregnancy are the breasts becoming very tender as well as the feeling of a bloated abdomen. As these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+symptoms" rel="tag">pregnancy symptoms</a> are very similar to the signs of the body shortly before the period comes in, it can be very confusing. Many Women also start urinating more frequently a week or so after having conceived. The female body temperature may also rise a little bit about a week after conceiving. This <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+pregnancy+symptom" rel="tag">early pregnancy symptom</a> occurs due to ovulation. The increased body temperature might stay until the time when the next period is usually expected. <br /><br /> Spotting <br /><br /> Pinkish or brown spotting similar like at the beginning of the menstrual period is among the early signs of pregnancy. The discharge is an important pregnancy symptom as it is not as heavy as normal menstrual bleeding. At this point it is essential that the pregnancy can be confirmed through a pregnancy test. If there is excessive bleeding while the test shows a positive result then the expecting mother should consult immediately with her OBGYN. This <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+sign+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">early <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sign+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">sign of pregnancy</a></a> often occurs in the case of an embryo attaching itself to the wrong part of the uterus. <br /><br /> Fatigue and Restlessness <br /><br /> Pregnant women often experience extreme fatigue and restlessness in the very early part of their pregnancy. This is again a pregnancy symptom that can be extremely confusing. It is similar like any other form of tiredness that the body experiences as an example due to stress and physical exhaustion. The cramping of the uterus, due to heavy exercising or when experiencing an orgasm, may be recognized as an early sign of pregnancy, too. <br /><br /> How can a Woman know for sure that she is pregnant in the first month? <br /><br /> There is no 100% sure way of knowing that a woman is pregnant in the first one month after conceiving. Most of the early signs of pregnancy can be easily misleading. A pregnancy test and an exam by an OBGYN is the only way one can know for sure.   <bio>Chris Puetz is an experienced author and writer.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Do you have a pregnancy question? Or, are you still trying to conceive? Want to talk about your pregnancy experience with other women all over the world? If so, then no doubt that you need to find pregnancy message boards. <br /><br /> There are actually some ways to discuss and learn about pregnancy on the web. You can email your friends, chat with them instantly, or join some groups designed for pregnant women. Of all the available and possible ways that you can consider, joining and participating in some pregnancy message boards is by far the most popular and easiest way that you can consider. <br /><br /> Finding pregnancy message boards on the web there days is just so easy. With lots of sites out there offering message boards for pregnant women and those who are thinking to conceive, it's no wonder that you can chat, discuss, or exchange thoughts with the other forum users anytime and anywhere. <br /><br /> Pregnancy message boards are also a great place to learn. As you may know, pregnancy message boards allow you to discuss with the other members your pregnancy problems, fears, or share with them your pregnancy experiences. It is also here where you can find other women with similar <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+due+dates" rel="tag">pregnancy due dates</a> and discuss issues such as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">symptoms of pregnancy</a> in the first week or first month pregnancy signs and symptoms, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stages+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">stages of pregnancy</a> development and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+trimesters" rel="tag">pregnancy trimesters</a>. If you have fear or questions about twin pregnancy, the pregnancy message boards are also a great place for you to start. <br /><br /> Furthermore, the pregnancy message boards are the great place to start discussing or asking for advices about the right maternity clothes to wear, the right foods to eat during pregnancy, or even about the right food to eat in order to avoid pregnancy. You can also learn about the safe <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/medications+during+pregnancy" rel="tag">medications during pregnancy</a>, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+cramps" rel="tag">pregnancy cramps</a>, aches and pains just here. <br /><br /> It is worth noting that the pregnancy message boards not only cover those above mentioned issues or matters. The pregnancy message boards are also a great place to learn about miscarriage. So, if you want to know about the signs of miscarriage or you have questions about having another pregnancy after miscarriage or perhaps you just need some information about it, then you may want to participate on this kind of forums. And, if, for instance, you have some breastfeeding questions or advices or just want to post the arrival of your new baby in the birth announcements, then pregnancy message boards have spaces for you. <br /><br /> Perhaps what's best about the pregnancy message boards is that you do not necessarily need to register as a member of the group or subscribe in order to access parts or sections of the sites. However, there are still some restrictions to your access. For example, there are some forums online that only allow their members or subscribers to access the members-only parts. But, this does not mean that the guests have no chance to know what's inside those restricted parts. In fact, the guests are often free to register as a member. Joining or taking advantage of the discussion forums and chat rooms are even highly encouraged   <bio>Check out the most recent article posts at <a href="http://www.articleposts.com" >http://www.articleposts.com</a> An active hyperlink to this site must remain if you use this article.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are certain and varied symptoms that you can look for if you feel that you might be pregnant, or are hoping to become pregnant. The tell-tale <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/signs+of+early+pregnancy" rel="tag">signs of early pregnancy</a> are not always there for every woman, and each woman experiences her pregnancy differently than others. <br /><br /> * Missing a Period - This is one of the classic <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+being+pregnant" rel="tag">symptoms of being pregnant</a> - missing a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/monthly+period" rel="tag">monthly period</a>. If your monthly period is not regular, you may not notice it as soon as other women who get their period regularly. Many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+pregnancy+tests" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/home+pregnancy+test" rel="tag">home pregnancy test</a>s</a> facilitate to women who have a regular period, though, and it can in some cases be a little misleading if you do not. <br /><br /> * Fatigue - Almost all women feel extreme tired during their first trimester, although no one is quite sure as to why this is. It is commonly thought, though, that the increase of hormones in the body is the main cause. B12 vitamins and natural, safe energy supplements would help perk you up, but check with a doctor first to see if you are pregnant, in case the supplement you hope to take would hurt your baby. <br /><br /> * Gagging Because of Odors - Often, pregnant women will feel a high sensitivity to certain smells - for example, the smell of a cup of coffee in the morning might make you feel so sick you can't stand to be in the same room as it. Even foods you used to enjoy may become repulsive and utterly disgusting to you. <br /><br /> * Got to Go Right Now - Having to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/urinate" rel="tag">urinate</a> often is a very common symptom of being pregnant. Even before your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/uterus" rel="tag">uterus</a> expands to accommodate a child, the amount of fluid rises in your body, causing you to feel the need to urinate more often. It is one of those symptoms that does not go away with most women until you have actually given birth, the reason for this is because the uterus expands and it presses against the bladder. <br /><br /> A home pregnancy test will almost always tell you for sure. But refrain from using one until a week after your missed period, though, because no matter what the box might say, it is likely not to give you a definitive answer if you use a pregnancy test too early. <br /><br /> If you do get a positive result, or believe you are pregnant, call your doctor and make an appointment to discuss what your options are, and what is best for you and the baby.  <bio>Zhang Xiao Hong Visit our website at <a href="http://www.medicalinfopedia.com/" >http://www.medicalinfopedia.com/</a> For lots more advice.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[While one of the most known <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">symptoms of pregnancy</a> is a delayed or skipped menstrual cycle, the many signs that alert a woman to a potential baby-on-the-way will differ for each individual. Some women will experience symptoms of pregnancy within the first week of conception while others show signs in a couple of weeks. Sometimes, a woman may never even show any indication that she may be with child. Below you will find some of the most common symptoms associated with pregnancy: <br /><br /> Bleeding  Although it could be the sign of menstruation or reactions to birth control pills, the presence of blood may occur in a pregnant woman, (also referred to as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/implantation+bleeding" rel="tag">implantation bleeding</a>). A little over a week from conception, the embryo implants itself onto the uterine wall, which can cause spotting and cramping in some women. <br /><br /> Swollen and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tender+breasts" rel="tag">Tender Breasts</a>  As early as one to two weeks after a baby is conceived, a woman may experience tenderness, soreness, or swelling of the breasts.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Fatigue and Tiredness  When you feel like you don't have as much energy as you once had, you might be experiencing a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptom+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">symptom of pregnancy</a> that occurs as early as the first seven days after conception. <br /><br /> Nausea  Occurring between two to eight weeks after conception, being overcome with the urge to vomit is a common <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+symptom" rel="tag">pregnancy symptom</a> that is often referred to as "morning sickness." Some women are lucky to bypass this part of pregnancy, while others will feel nauseous throughout the duration of their nine months. <br /><br /> Backaches  Early in a pregnancy, a woman may feel aches in her lower back, which could occur throughout the rest of her pregnancy. <br /><br /> Headaches  Since the hormones in the body begin to fluctuate during a pregnancy, headaches are often an early result. <br /><br /> Frequent Urination  About six to eight weeks after conception, women often find themselves racing to the bathroom to urinate more often. <br /><br /> Food Cravings  Many women are faced with the strong urge to eat a variety of foods or crave items that they normally don't consume. This phase may last throughout the entire pregnancy, and is a known symptom associated with being pregnant. <br /><br /> If you are experiencing more than one of the above symptoms, you may very well become pregnant. To make certain whether or not you need to prepare for one of the biggest moments in your life, you will need to take a pregnancy test. While some women make an appointment to see their gynecologist, others prefer to enjoy the anticipation in the comfort of their own residence by using a home pregnancy test kit, such as Clearblue Easy.   <bio>Learn more about Pregnancy symptoms on our Pregnancy site: <a href="http://www.pregnancysymptoms.biz/" >http://www.pregnancysymptoms.biz/</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chinese+pregnancy+calendar" rel="tag">Chinese pregnancy calendar</a> is best known as the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chinese+conception+chart" rel="tag">Chinese conception chart</a> and it is used to predict the baby gender. Many women would like to know right from the beginning whether they have a baby-girl or a baby-boy. It is said that the Chinese pregnancy calendar was buried in a tomb one thousand years ago, and it is now exhibited at the Beijing Institute of Science. What does this Chinese pregnancy calendar look like? <br /><br /> There are just two main elements that are taken into consideration to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/determine+baby+gender" rel="tag">determine baby gender</a> in the Chinese pregnancy calendar. They are mother age on a column and the month of conception in a row. The rest of the calendar consists of blue and pink squares. Though simple, it has been successfully used in ancient China for thousands of years. All the more appreciation for the ancient Chinese. <br /><br /> Those that have seen the Chinese pregnancy calendar have declared that it is very easy to use. When you find the pregnancy line equal to your age, you follow it to reach to the month when you conceived. A square pink indicates you will have a girl and a blue square a boy. Of course it is a bit of fun, but there are people that confessed their prediction being right in their case and in that of their friends. <br /><br /> If you try the Chinese pregnancy calendar, it is better to calculate your age according to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lunar+calendar" rel="tag">lunar calendar</a>, a lunar month is twenty-nine days long. The basis for the Chinese pregnancy calendar is the lunar calendar, the one the ancient Chinese used a lot. There have been attempts to transform the Chinese pregnancy calendar / chart into a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chinese+astrology+calendar" rel="tag">Chinese astrology calendar</a>. <br /><br /> The regular Chinese pregnancy calendar has been changed to reflect also the combination of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/five+elements" rel="tag">five elements</a> air, fire, water, earth and wood in its role in determining the gender of the unborn baby. Other factors analyzed by this modified Chinese pregnancy calendar, are the astrological sign, the five major elements relationship as well as animal relationship -- the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chinese+astrological+signs" rel="tag">Chinese astrological signs</a> correspond to animals. <br /><br /> Regardless of whether you use the Chinese pregnancy calendar for fun or for sheer curiosity, I should tell you that it has only fifty percent chances of accuracy. Don't repaint the baby room just because of a prediction with the Chinese pregnancy calendar. It is better to wait till the baby has grown enough to be able to find out its gender at the doctor.   <bio>If you want to find out more about pregnancy please visit <a href="http://www.pregnancycritic.com" >http://www.pregnancycritic.com</a> or if you want to read some more free articles all about pregnancy, please check out our blog - <a href="http://www.pregnancycritic.com/pregnancy" >http://www.pregnancycritic.com/pregnancy</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/" rel="tag"></a>Whether you are trying to get pregnant, or have been given a surprise by the news -- there are ways of detecting pregnancy through normal body functions and changes, sometimes even before a missed monthly period. Of course, the most accurate sign of pregnancy is a missed period. Often, after a period has been missed a pregnancy test will read accurately. Most women become suspicious if they have regular periods, and even a day or two late is an irregular occurrence.<br><br>As motherly as it sounds, food cravings can often be a sign of pregnancy. From popcorn to chocolate, these cravings may come at unnatural times and be a sure sign of early pregnancy. Are you experiencing cravings for food that you regularly avoid? This could be a sign of early pregnancy.<br><br>Tender or sore breasts are another sign of early pregnancy. With the hormone fluctuations that occur within the body, this can be a variable sign of pregnancy. Some women report that breasts feel heavier, sore, or even larger or engorged with the preparations that occur to accommodate the changes within the body. Darkening of the areolas may occur. What causes the darkening? Hormone fluctuations within the body can create these imbalances which cerate the darkening of the areolas. Sometimes in early pregnancy, an act as simple as a caress or wearing an uncomfortable bra can be a terrible experience. Not to worry, this pain usually subsides as the body adjusts to the pregnancy.<br><br>The increased levels of HCG within the body can have varying effects on each woman. For most, these increased HCG levels create the need for frequent urination.<br><br>Your body is working overtime to prepare for the pregnancy and the birth of the baby and with these increased workloads come fatigue. Fatigue is often one of the first signs in early pregnancy and could make something as simple as a day of errands feel like an exhausting task that warrants a nap. You can blame this on the increased levels of progesterone that are being produced within the body.<br><br>Morning sickness doesn't just occur in the morning. Ask anyone who has gone through a pregnancy and suffered from the constant nausea and vomiting within the first trimester. Did you know that nausea can occur even two days after conception?<br><br>Along with morning sickness often comes an increased sense of smell as some say that this is nature's way of protecting the mother from ingesting anything that may be harmful to the baby. Simply put, if you can smell garlic from down the block, or beer on your partner's breath from across the room, you just might want to take that pregnancy test. An increase in post nasal drip or a nose that will not stop running is one of the signs of pregnancy as the nose is not exempt from the discharge which is increased through the body.<br><br>An increase in cervical discharge is an early indicator of pregnancy. This clear substance can be more pronounced even two to five days after conception.<bio><a href="http://rightstep.com/addiction-alcoholism-and-rehab.php">Addiction Alcoholism Rehab</a> <a href="http://rightstep.com/addiction-alcoholism-and-rehab.php">Affordable Drug Recovery</a></bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Pregnancy can be a wonderful time in woman's life. A baby growing inside of you can feel like a miracle; and it can also make you feel a little off your game. If you're a person who is used to being physically active pregnancy can be a bit of an adjustment. Or perhaps you are someone who has recently committed to a diet and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exercise+plan" rel="tag">exercise plan</a> to help foster a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/healthy+pregnancy" rel="tag">healthy pregnancy</a>. Either way, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+exercise" rel="tag">pregnancy exercise</a> is well within the limits of a healthy pregnancy and something that can help you feel in control of your body a little more as you make this incredible journey. <br /><br /> First and foremost, pregnancy exercise at any fitness level is only meant for those women who are experiencing healthy, uneventful pregnancies. Further, regardless of what pregnancy exercise you want to try -- at any time during your pregnancy -- you should always check with your doctor beforehand. <br /><br /> Generally during the first trimester, women are permitted to continue with an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exercise+program" rel="tag">exercise program</a> that has already been established. This does not mean that now that you are pregnant you should start running every day if you haven't been running up until this point. Do not engage in new exercise -- this is not the time. But if you are feeling well, are not experiencing any bleeding, and have been given approval from your doctor, it is safe to continue with your previous <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exercise+routine" rel="tag">exercise routine</a>. You may find, however, that as pregnancy exercise, this previously simple routine has become more difficult. Fatigue, upset stomach, and a myriad of other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+pregnancy+symptoms" rel="tag">early pregnancy symptoms</a> may <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hinder" rel="tag">hinder</a> your physical performance. <br /><br /> Walking during the first trimester -- and throughout pregnancy -- can be a wonderful pregnancy exercise. It gets your heart pumping without putting unnecessary strain on your joints. <br /><br /> During the second trimester, when you begin to feel well again, your energy level may suddenly increase. With the blessing of your doctor, you may want to engage in more strenuous activity. Again, it completely depends on your level of health and the advice of your doctor. <br /><br /> No matter what pregnancy exercise you do engage in, you should always pay close attention to your pulse rate to be sure you are not over-exerting yourself. Be sure to drink plenty of water -- more than you may be accustomed to drinking -- to protect yourself against dehydration. <br /><br /> The third trimester can continue as the second but an ever-expanding belly may prevent you from accomplishing some pregnancy exercise. Adjust your expectations as your situation continues to change and check in with your doctor every step of the way. Remember that has your due date nears you need to be vigilant to signs of labor. Use care with pregnancy exercise at this time.   <bio>For easy to understand, in depth information about pregnancy visit our ezGuide 2 <a href="http://pregnancy.ezguide2.com" >http://pregnancy.ezguide2.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ofcourse" rel="tag">Ofcourse</a> there is obvious <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+test" rel="tag">pregnancy test</a> but when should you take that test or when to decide that its time to go to doctor ? well here are some symptoms on which you an decide to take pregnancy test- <br /><br /> 1) Cramp or a minor bleed <br /><br /> A tiny amount of bleeding or even spotting is observed in the stages prior to the pregnancy. This period is say at about ten to fourteen days after the fertilization. This bleeding is also well known as the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/implantation+bleeding" rel="tag">implantation bleeding</a>. Implantation bleeding occurs when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the inner lining of uterus. This kind of bleeding is observed in the early stages. The bleeding is light in color than that of the regular periods. The bleeding does not last for a long period. Also, the bleeding is spottier. <br /><br /> Pregnant women are also prone to experience a feeling of cramp at an early stage in pregnancy. During this time the uterus enlarges. Cramps similar to those of the menstrual ones are experienced. <br /><br /> 2) Queasiness without or with vomiting <br /><br /> Morning sickness is one of the telltale <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/signs+of+early+pregnancy" rel="tag">signs of early pregnancy</a>. Most women feel some sickness around four to eight <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/weeks+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">weeks of pregnancy</a>, but the queasiness can begin as early as two weeks after conception.  The very telltale <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sign+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">sign of pregnancy</a> is the sickness experienced in the mornings. In the first 4 to 8 weeks of the pregnancy some kind of weakness is observed. The nausea can start in the early two weeks of pregnancy. This is immediately after the conception itself. <br /><br /> Vomiting and Nausea which is called as the morning sickness can occur in the other parts of the day as well. This brings a feeling of the stomach to be empty. The basis for the vomiting and the nausea is the rapid increase in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/estrogen+levels" rel="tag">estrogen levels</a>, which are manufactured by the fetus and the placenta. Such abnormal levels in the flow of the estrogen levels contribute to the emptiness of the stomach very slowly. This could be the reason for the cause of the vomiting and nausea. There also exists an increase in the sensation of smell. This can include a variety of odors such as the cooking foods, cigarette smoke or perfume itself. Such sensations also can trigger vomiting and nausea. <br /><br /> The two main major factors leading to the conclusive signs of pregnancy have been discussed.  <bio>Justin foss is the proud owner of the site <a href="http://www.mymedicenter.com" >http://www.mymedicenter.com</a> where he spends most of his time to make it better. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[What is the conformational truth that one is pregnant? The answer is pretty simple. The pregnancy gives a clear cut proof that one is pregnant or not. There are chances that one may have the slightest suspicion or even expectations that they are going to be pregnant. Such clues are determined at the very early stage, which is during the first few weeks after the conception. Early conditions which are encountered to check the early signs of the pregnancy is determined by the two main ways.  1) The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/breast" rel="tag">breast</a> or the nipples become swollen and tender  The first and foremost <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sign+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">sign of pregnancy</a> is the immediate change in the feeling of the breast itself. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/breasts" rel="tag">breasts</a> become sore, tender or even tingly. The breasts also become heavy and seem to have a fuller feel. In the early weeks say about two weeks from conception, the breasts begin to develop and adjust to start to prepare milk. The very main reason of these causes is an increase in the manufacture of the important <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hormones" rel="tag">hormones</a>. These hormones are the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/progesterone" rel="tag">progesterone</a> and the estrogen. If one is pregnant for the very first time, the slightest of the changes in the breasts are the most impressive signs. <br /><br /> 2) <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tiredness" rel="tag">Tiredness</a> or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fatigue" rel="tag">Fatigue</a>  In the early stages of the pregnancy there is an immense feeling of tiredness or even fatigue. This can be considered as a way by the nature itself to persuade the pregnant ones to take more sleep, on the onset of the sleepless nights for the future until the child is fully developed. There also exists a physical criterion for the fatigue to occur. <br /><br /> In the very first weeks of the pregnancy, the body starts to work hard. This work is observed by the abnormal secretion of the hormones, increase in the blood manufacture to deliver the various nutrients required by the baby. In order to compensate with the increase in the mount of blood flow as well, the heart starts to pump a bit much faster and also harder. Besides this, progesterone, which is a hormone, is considered to be a natural depressant of the central nervous system. Hence the higher level of progesterone in a body leads to sleep. Also, pregnancy brings a very wide range of concerns and feelings which lead to the energy sap and disturbance in sleep. <br /><br /> In this discussion made so far the early two main facts that are to the early signs of pregnancy are discussed.  <bio>Justin foss is the proud owner of the site <a href="http://www.mymedicenter.com" >http://www.mymedicenter.com</a> where he spends most of his time to make it better. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The early <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/signs+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">signs of pregnancy</a> usually begin for most women during the first few weeks following conception, and some even before their first missed menstrual cycle. The symptoms will vary in intensity and type, although a missed menstrual period is usually the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/first+sign+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">first sign of pregnancy</a> noticed by most women. <br /><br /> Here are the other most common <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/signs+and+symptoms+of+early+pregnancy" rel="tag">signs and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+early+pregnancy" rel="tag">symptoms of early pregnancy</a></a>: <br /><br /> - Tender Breasts: Besides a missed period, swollen or tender breasts may be experienced within the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/first+few+weeks+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">first few weeks of pregnancy</a>. Some women also report a feeling of fullness or heaviness, as well as a tingling sensation in the breasts in the first month or so following conception. <br /><br /> - Nausea: Nausea, often accompanied by vomiting, and queasiness are one of the early signs of pregnancy known as "morning sickness," although these symptoms can appear any time of the day or night contrary to the popular name. As early as two weeks after conception, some women may begin feeling queasy or notice an aversion to certain foods or aromas. Rising estrogen levels, which actually cause the stomach to empty slower, may be to blame for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/feeling+nauseous" rel="tag">feeling nauseous</a> during the early weeks and months of pregnancy. <br /><br /> - Unusual Fatigue: In addition to increased estrogen, levels of another hormone, progesterone, also rapidly increase, causing an unusual feeling of tiredness. This coupled with a decline in blood sugar and blood pressure all work together to deplete one's energy. Changes in hormone levels may also contribute to frequent headaches early in pregnancy. <br /><br /> - Constipation: Increased progesterone may also cause constipation as digested foods tend to pass through the intestines slower than normal. <br /><br /> - Frequent Urination: Frequent urination is a symptom of pregnancy that usually will continue on throughout the entire pregnancy due to hormone levels and increased pressure on the bladder. <br /><br /> - Bleeding and/or Cramping: Some pregnant women will experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding which is referred to as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/implantation+bleeding" rel="tag">implantation bleeding</a>, or some abdominal cramping similar to those felt during menstruation. Implantation bleeding occurs 10 to 14 days following fertilization as the newly fertilized egg attaches itself to the thickened lining of the uterus. <br /><br /> - Mood Swings: The first three months of pregnancy are often characterized by frequent mood swings or periods of irritability due to the influx of hormones. <br /><br /> - Feeling Faint, or Dizzy: Low blood sugar levels, a drop in blood pressure, and the dilation of blood vessels may cause feelings of dizziness or faintness. <br /><br /> - Changes in Eating Habits: Food cravings are a rather common sign of early pregnancy, with many women finding themselves liking certain foods they never did before, or even having an aversion to those that were once favorites. Cravings, like most symptoms of pregnancy, are due to the increase and fluctuation of hormone levels. <br /><br /> - Increased Basal Body Temperature: Basal body temperature, the temperature of the body upon first awakening in the morning, increases slightly after a woman ovulates, and stays at that increased level until their next menstrual cycle. If the increase lasts longer than 14 days, this may be an accurate indication of pregnancy. <br /><br /> It's important to remember that many early signs of pregnancy are slight, subtle changes that you may not recognize right away. Alternately, most symptoms are not totally unique to pregnancy and may actually be due to a number of other conditions or illnesses. The best way to find out what may be causing your symptoms is to take a home pregnancy test, and then make an appointment with your health care provider.   <bio>Julie Heath is a mother of two, editor, and owner of More4kids.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ One of my favorite things about being pregnant was tracking my baby's progress with a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+calendar" rel="tag">pregnancy calendar</a>. With it, you can see exactly how developed your baby is and it makes your sonograms even that much more fun. Week by week, you can see how your child is developing. For example, you can see what your baby looks like at three months versus what it looked like at three weeks. Also, you can use a pregnancy calendar to do things like figure out when the baby will be due. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/conversely" rel="tag">Conversely</a>, it also works backward. For instance, if your due date is December 20, your child was conceived around March 28, assuming you have a 28 day cycle. <br /><br /> There are tons of places you can go to find a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/free+pregnancy" rel="tag">free pregnancy</a> calendar online, or your doctor can help you create your own. It's really cool to know exactly what is going on with your pregnancy each day. It's also helpful to know in advance what to expect, such as changes in your body as well as your baby. When you know what is coming, it's easier to know what is and is not normal, which can go a long way in protecting you and your child. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+calendars" rel="tag">Pregnancy calendars</a> are usually based on a 40 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/week+pregnancy" rel="tag">week pregnancy</a>, although in situations where you expect a longer or shorter gestation period you can have them customized. I really can't tell you how important it is to have a pregnancy calendar on hand when you're getting ready to have a baby. Beyond being fun to look at, they are extremely informative and can prepare you for things to come. Indeed, if you're pregnant or are planning to become pregnant in the near future, I <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/highly+recommend+that" rel="tag">highly recommend that</a> you pick one up or download one from the internet.   <bio>Pregnant?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ For expectant mothers, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+week" rel="tag">pregnancy week</a> 25 should be a pretty big milestone. For one thing, you have passed the point of no return...you are more than halfway to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/having+a+baby" rel="tag">having a baby</a> to hold! At this point, mom has been pregnant for around 23 weeks and is probably getting the hang of the whole pregnancy thing. As for the baby, it is rapidly developing. At 25 weeks into the full term 40, the nostrils of the baby are beginning to open and the blood vessels in the lungs are starting to develop. Also, the baby is beginning to get a backbone during this exciting time! There are 33 rings, 150 joints and 1,000 ligaments that compose the spine, and your baby is starting to form them all. <br /><br /> When it comes to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/expectant+mom" rel="tag">expectant mom</a> at pregnancy week 25, her uterus is around the size of a soccer ball. It's kind of a miracle to think of how your body is changing to accommodate your young one, but it probably doesn't feel like one. Because of the large size of the uterus, it is beginning to put pressure on the back and pelvis. This translates to shooting pains in the lower back and legs for many women, which can be treated with rest. Other ways to treat these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">symptoms of pregnancy</a> include taking warm baths, changing positions frequently or even applying ice to the area. <br /><br /> On another note, at pregnancy week 25 it is imperative that you be aware of the preterm labor warning signs. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/march+of+dimes" rel="tag">March of Dimes</a> suggests that you never ignore the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+preterm+labor" rel="tag">symptoms of preterm labor</a>, as how you react to them could make a huge difference in your baby's life. Make sure you go over these symptoms with your primary caregiver, as well as what to do in the event that you experience them. Very important!   <bio>If you're pregnant or are thinking about having a baby, visit the Pregnancy Forums at <a href="http://www.ThePregnancyForum.com/" >http://www.ThePregnancyForum.com/</a> today.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+test" rel="tag">pregnancy test</a>, as the name implies, is simply a test used to determine whether or not a woman is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnant" rel="tag">pregnant</a>. Often used early in the form of a home pregnancy test, this process is helpful in making an early determination. An unborn child will require medical care even before they arrive and an early diagnosis is important so that the mom-to-be can learn the best types of food to consume, begin <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+classes" rel="tag">pregnancy classes</a> and prepare for the family's new addition. <br /><br /> The most popular type of pregnancy test, which is used for early detection, is a home pregnancy test. These can be found at most major retail and/or drug stores and can provide quick results. Because these are amateur tests, meaning they are not performed by a licensed medical <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/doctor" rel="tag">doctor</a>, there is always the possibility of a false reading. If the directions are followed correctly, however, the accuracy rate is quite respectable. Before seeing a doctor, many women want to have an idea as to whether or not they are pregnant, which is why an at home pregnancy test is very popular. <br /><br /> Depending on the results of a home pregnancy test, a woman may still wish to consult a physician to ensure certainty. During the visit, a physician will relay the determination of pregnancy or the absence thereof and, if necessary, will provide additional information for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/expectant+moms" rel="tag">expectant moms</a>. <br /><br /> It can be difficult to realize the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/symptoms+of+pregnancy" rel="tag">symptoms of pregnancy</a> for first-time moms-to-be, which is why it is important to learn about the possible signs of an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/early+pregnancy" rel="tag">early pregnancy</a>. Among them, an increased sensitivity to certain foods and/or smells, recurring morning sickness, fatigue, exhaustion and mood swings. It is important to have a pregnancy test following the onset of any or all of these symptoms because a positive result means that a new change in lifestyle may be in order. Pregnant women will likely be instructed to avoid air travel, smoking or being near secondhand smoke and the consumption of alcohol. Any and all of these can be harmful to a child and should therefore be avoided. It is very important that pregnant women speak with their doctor about the best ways to ensure the development of a healthy child. <br /><br /> This article is to be used for informational purposes only. It is not designed to be used in place of, or in conjunction with, professional medical advice and/or recommendations. A woman who believes that she may be pregnant should consult a licensed medical doctor for a pregnancy test and the best method of ensuring the health of her unborn child.   <bio>To find out more about pregnancy test, please visit our website at <a href="http://www.best-pregnancy-test-tips.info">http://www.best-pregnancy-test-tips.info</a> .

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Mothers- to- be are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/inundated" rel="tag">inundated</a> with one thing more than anything else, namely <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+and+birth" rel="tag">pregnancy and birth</a> advice. Anyone who has had a baby, or knows someone else who has had a baby will become an expert and insist that their way was best, their labor either a dream or a nightmare - not much between the extremes - and that you must see this doctor, do this exercise, eat this way, and so on. <br /><br /> Much of this pregnancy and birth advice will be conflicting. What works for one mother, doesn't work for another. Each pregnancy is also unique. A woman's body responds to the pregnancy in different ways. There is a multitude of books available of the subject, and the fact that in most cases, each is different from the last is a testament to how varied the process of having a baby really is. <br /><br /> No- one knows your body like you do. Even if this is your first baby, don't automatically assume that your mom, your best friend, or even the woman in the drug store know all the answers just because they have had <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/babies" rel="tag">babies</a> already. They haven't had yours. When you have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/questions+about+pregnancy" rel="tag">questions about pregnancy</a> and birth issues, listen to what they say, but don't accept just one opinion if it doesn't seem to work for you. Shop around! <br /><br /> There are many tried and tested methods for easing certain <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+conditions" rel="tag">pregnancy conditions</a> such as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/restless+legs" rel="tag">restless legs</a>, backache, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/morning+sickness" rel="tag">morning sickness</a> and so on. Perhaps you want to try natural cures such as lemon essential oil for morning sickness, instead of eating salt crackers before you get out of bed. Neither way is wrong, pregnancy and birth advice is great if you listen to the options and then take the best way for you. <br /><br /> The best pregnancy and birth advice I can give you is to read everything, and listen to those around you who have had babies. When you find you need a solution to a pregnancy and birth issue, remember all the information you have absorbed, and follow the one that fits your ideas best. If this doesn't work, move onto the next solution. There's no one size fits all pregnancy, so use what you know to find the best fit for you!  <bio>For more great pregnancy related articles and resources check out <a href="http://pregnancyguidebook.info" >http://pregnancyguidebook.info</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[You are six months pregnant and you have gained 15 pounds. You're baby is thriving inside of you, and you have had an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/uneventful+pregnancy" rel="tag">uneventful pregnancy</a> so far. So you probably know that you have had it good so far, but you are concerned about whether or not you've gained to little or too much pregnancy weight. <br /><br /> How Much Weight is Too Much? <br /><br /> If you began your pregnancy underweight you should gain 28 to 40 pounds, and if you started your pregnancy overweight you should gain 15 to 25 pounds. However, if you are carrying twins you should expect to gain about 35 to 45 pounds. <br /><br /> Shortly after finding out that you have conceived you should see a doctor, as your doctor can explain to you about healthy <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+weight+gain" rel="tag">pregnancy weight gain</a>. If you are of average weight you should gain up to 5 pounds the first trimester of your pregnancy and around 1 pound a week for the duration of your pregnancy. <br /><br /> What is all This Pregnancy Weight Doing? <br /><br /> Besides making you uncomfortable in your pre-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pregnancy+clothes" rel="tag">pregnancy clothes</a>, pregnancy weight can make you feel awkward, clumsy, and totally unsexy. But you should not let the burgeoning billows of your new found hips and thighs keep you from living an active and healthy life. <br /><br /> Pregnancy weight can make any woman feel like a blimp, but keeping active can help her feel a little less frumpy. <br /><br /> Feeling negatively about pregnancy weight, isn't a problem all women feel. Some women are so excited about their swelling bosom that they feel super sexy and ravishing. It also helps that their husbands are excited about their thickening frames as well. So there is an upside to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gaining+weight+during+pregnancy" rel="tag">gaining weight during pregnancy</a>. <br /><br /> Pregnancy Weight is Healthy - Don't Freak Out! <br /><br /> If you have had problems controlling your weight in the past, try not to freak out if the numbers on your digital scale are going up. When you're pregnant its okay to gain weight, as a matter of fact, gaining weight during pregnancy is absolutely necessary for a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/healthy+pregnancy" rel="tag">healthy pregnancy</a>. <br /><br /> Remember that once the baby is born you will lose some of that weight, so don't try strenuous exercises or crash diets while you're pregnant it may cause serious problems with your baby's health. <br /><br /> Eating well during pregnancy is one way to stay healthy and to help keep off any unnecessary poundage. Cutting back on your junk intake and drinking plenty of water can really help you feel better about your weight gain.   <bio>Sophia Ton is a freelance writer who writes about pregnancy and family topics.
