Positive Pregnancy Test

For many women, the sensation of seeing the two strips on the test is the first unforgettable moment of pregnancy. One can spend a few minutes sitting and looking at the positive pregnancy test, finding it difficult to believe one’s own eyes. It is not surprising that many women cry from happiness.

First Ultrasound

It is better to share the joy of the first ultrasound with a beloved one. It is so pleasant to worry and to be happy together with your husband, as you see your baby on the screen moving its little hand, and as you see its heart beating.

After the ultrasound, one can truly understand that a new life is born inside you. For men, the test is a simple piece of paper, and the ultrasound is a real proof of paternity. Some women will never forget how men first kiss their tummies after the ultrasound.

Finding Out Baby’s Gender

For all the parents, the moment when the doctors tell you the sex of your baby is both unexpected and bright. The baby seems to acquire a new face and becomes closer and more understandable. Many women feel as if they have learned of their pregnancy once again. It is even logical to cry with happiness and excessive emotions.

Do not forget to ask your doctor to make the first photo or video of your baby! You will want to look at your little baby many times.

First Fetal Movements

The first sensation of the baby’s movement is undoubtedly a very interesting and memorable moment. It is a favorite pastime for many women to watch the baby roll over so actively.

You can sit back, relax and look at those bumps that appear and disappear on the tummy. Each woman will confirm what happiness it is to feel a baby inside! During the first fetal movements you are well aware of being a mother.

Pregnant Photoshooting

Be sure to take a photo of your growing tummy. Changing the female figure is another proof of expecting a child. All pregnant women look very calm, happy, and inspired in the photos.

What a great many of wonderful happy moments and emotions you are going to experience during pregnancy! You should be patient and enjoy every moment of this “interesting” situation!

According to the law, the woman will have to undergo ultrasound examination 1-3 days before the abortion. Afterwards, the doctor will show the pregnant woman the resulting images, comment on them, and let the woman listen to the heartbeat of the fetus, if the time of pregnancy allows it.

The author of such legislative initiative, Sid Miller, noted that the procedure would make the pregnant fully understand all aspects and possible consequences of the abortion. The opponents of the new law are convinced that watching the ultrasound image of the fetus should worsen the emotional state of women who inevitably experience stress connected with the abortion.

Texas authorities who were against the adoption of the law failed to introduce a number of amendments to the document. In particular, there was a suggestion that, in case the woman refused to have the abortion, the tuition fee of the future child would be paid from the state budget.

The new law has already been approved by both the upper and the lower houses of Parliament of the State of Texas and will come into force as soon as the state governor signs the document.

Such phenomenon is very rare (there are only ten reported cases) and is called superfetation. It happens when a woman ovulates more than once a month and a second egg is fertilized soon after a pregnancy has already begun.

According to the Grovenburgs’ obstetrician Michael Mailart, the superfetation can be verified after birth by comparing the babies’ chromosome set and metabolism.

It’s curious that due to his location in the womb, a second baby should be born first; either it will be a vaginal delivery or a Cesarean section. Due dates for the babies are 2009 and 2010.

My doctor told me to come in about 10 days for another ultrasound scanning to listen to the baby’s (actually only a tiny embryo’s) heartbeat. I only wonder if such frequent ultrasound scanning is not harmful. Anyway, now I want to think only about positive things!

Girls, avoid dairy products, bread, fruits and veggies, as they may cause gases which, for example, will not let your doctor see the ovaries by transvaginal ultrasound. Such “atmosphere” inside you can disperse the ultrasound and your doctor may miss something there. So, if you want to know as much as possible about your health, better follow this diet. My doctor also says, for the correct ultrasound scanning the bowels should be empty, too. This is called “being prepared”.

I was actually twice a good girl this day. Today we even had a walk in a park again, then my husband took pictures of various trees, flowers and insects (his way of relaxation), while I was sitting on a bench reading a book (my relaxation method) – the novel ‘Une vie’ (translated into English as ‘A Woman’s Life’) by Guy de Maupassant – this is exactly a kind of book a pregnant woman should read (except for books about pregnancy, of course) – it has everything: love, hate, dreams and disillusionment. Oh, and pregnancy, of course

Please, wish me good luck tomorrow, as I really want to have a baby in 9 months!
