What's In Store for the Next Nine Months

Pregnancy is such a broad subject and there are a myriad of things I'd like to tackle and share and talk about with all you moms and moms-to-be out there. So to organize this a bit and so that it'd be easier to look for stuff for future reference, I thought of classifying my entries into categories.

Since I know that most moms will look for posts that relates to their current condition, I'll be labelling my entries where appropriate as to which trimester it applies to: First Trimester, Second Trimester or Third Trimester. And then, there would be issues about:

  • Pre-Conception – conceiving, preparing for pregnancy

  • Maternity Fashion – what to buy when, and where

  • Health and Fitness -medical conditions, nutrition, exercises, personal care

  • Tools and Gadgets- not just for the mom, but for the babe, too

  • Pregnancy Tests -pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, amniocentesis, genetic tests

  • IVF and Assisted Pregnancies – procedures, ethics, modern technology

  • Infanticipating Dads – hey it's his baby, too!

  • Getting Ready for Birth – packing lists, birth plans, finding a doula, etc

  • Post-natal – because it doesn't stop at birth

  • Careers- pregnancy in the workplace, maternity benefits

  • Unwanted Pregnancies

  • Online Resources – forums, support groups, online magazines, blogs

Did I miss anything? Is there anything else you'd like me to discuss that doesn't fall into these sections? Drop me a note and let me know!
