Worry About Worry

Website: http://alittleinsight.com/faqs.html

You're not crazy. You're just pregnant (which can actually make you feel just a little crazy, but that's another story). And what you're experiencing is a normal — and just about inevitable — side effect of pregnancy, one you share with the vast majority of your pregnant comrades. Worry is one of the most common complaints of pregnancy, affecting more expectant women than morning sickness and food cravings combined. (It's true!) So first, you shouldn't worry about being a pregnant worrywart. Worry comes with the pregnant territory (and that goes for your partner too. Many dads-to-be worry a lot, and that's perfectly normal. Second, try to focus on the positives of pregnancy (You're going to have a baby! You're going to be a mom! This is exciting stuff!). Third, try to put your worry in perspective. Keep on reminding yourself (make it your mantra if it helps) that there has never been a safer time to have a baby. With today's medical care and advanced technology — from specialized tests to ultrasounds — pregnant women are in excellent hands. FOR MORE INFORMATION CLICK LINK BELOW...

When is fetal movement usually felt?

Website: http://www.alittleinsight.com/faqs.html

Q: When is fetal movement usually felf?

A: Most women feel the beginnings of fetal movement before 20 weeks' gestation. In a first pregnancy, this can occur around 18 weeks' gestation, and in following pregnancies it can occur as early as 15-16 weeks' gestation. Early fetal movement is felt most commonly when the woman is sitting or lying quietly and concentrating on her body. It is usually described as a tickle or feathery feeling below the umbilical area. As the fetus grows in size, these feelings become stronger, regular, and easier to feel. The medical term for the point at which a woman feels the baby move is quickening. Babies should move at least 4 times an hour as they get larger, and some clinicians advise patients to count fetal movement to follow the baby's well-being. FOR MORE INFORMATION CLICK BELOW...
