Managing Labor Pain

Website: http://alittleinsight.com

Let's face it: Labor hurts. And how could it not hurt? Your uterus will have to rhythmically squeeze your baby down toward the birth canal, then your baby's head will have to push its way through your cervix and out your vagina (yes — out that same tiny opening that you once thought was too small to fit a tampon). Plenty of gain (you get a baby when you're done), but also, plenty of pain. While there's no getting around that, thankfully there are ways you can get through it. Whether you opt for an unmedicated childbirth experience or choose one of the many pain relief options available, as a pregnant woman in the 21st century, you can take some of the labor out of childbirth.

Pregnancy Weight Gain

Website: http://alittleinsight.com

This is one of the few times in life when gaining weight is a good thing. But there's an art to pregnancy weight gain - you have to put on pounds the right way.
All right, girls — it's time to embrace the scale and put on a smile every time the numbers on it creep up (no freaking out allowed). The facts on the ground (and on the scale) are that you're pregnant and you're going to gain weight — and for once in your life added pounds are something to welcome, not dread. In fact, by the time your nine months come to a close, your weight-gain total should tally up to about 25 to 35 pounds above your pre-pregnancy weight — the recommendation for the average expectant mom.
