Concerning the dangers of smoking while you are pregnant.

Woman smoking while being pregnant

The health implications connected with both active and passive smoking are particularly substantial for pregnant women and infants. Cigarette smoking during gestation increases the woman’s peril for stillbirth and additional complications of pregnancy and is damaging to the wellness of the fetus. It puts babies at enhanced risk for miscarriage, low birth weight, respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn, SIDS, and even impaired cognitive development. The sooner a woman stops smoking during pregnancy, the greater the reduction of danger to her child.

Can I Get A Tattoo If I’m Pregnant?

Filed Under Tatoos and Pregnancy | 2 Comments


Here is a question asked by a young woman trying to get pregnant
Can I Get A Tattoo If I’m Pregnant?
Pregnant Woman With Tatoo
Here are the answers I received:

Answer: you’re not supposed to. the ink is bad for the baby and a lot of tats have to be redone. My sister-in-law had one while pregnant and it got really infected and the color didn’t stay the doctor told her never to do it again while pregnant! =
Answer: i got one done at 19 weeks and later found out most tattoo parlours wont do them due to the risk of the mother getting stressed etc but they also said the ink is not harmful to the baby or mother if it is sterile (which it should be any way) unless the tattoo is done on the stomach as for getting infected and the colour staying it mostly depends on how u take care of it while it is healing but by all means talk to your doctor and a tattooist about the risks mine said because i have had other tat’s done i am unlikely to stress about it and that it is my choice in the end =
Answer: I had a similar question…. only I wanted to get one removed while pregnant….. the answer was “No way” from the OB and the plastic surgeon who did the removals. They both said the ink can be toxic to the baby. (Sterility has nothing to do with it). Unfortunately, turns out I had a removal session 2 days before I conceived. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see if there are any ill-affects. =
Answer: ofcourse you can! the ink isnt anymore toxic to a pregnant woman than it is to a woman who isnt pregnant. just dont get it any place where it may stretch. Dr.’s dont agree with anything that they are unsure of. =
Should I get a tattoo when Im pregnant

Should I get a tattoo when Im pregnant

Answer: Can’t you wait until after the baby is born just to be safe? There is always a chance of developing an infection or getting hepatitis. That way if anything were to happen it would only affect you and not the baby. =

3 Secrets-How To Get Pregnant

Filed Under Main Content | 1 Comment

A healthy baby boy or girl is just not the result of egg meets sperm. There are three critical things that needed to happen for conceiving and carry a healthy fetus to full term.

Secret No.1 Avoid old eggs and sperm Research indicates that to produce a healthy, viable fetus, you need freshly released egg and sperm. This means that you should avoid having sex a couple of days before ovulation is due, as sperm can last up to 3 days. A three day old sperm may have degraded somewhat and be potentially defective. Likewise, you should avoid sex just after ovulation, when the egg is still viable (up to 24 hours after release) but again is ageing and potentially defective.

The best approach is to have frequent intercourse during the peak fertile time, and stop once ovulation is over, so that a fresh sperm can meet a fresh egg. Ideally, live, fresh sperm should be lining the fallopian tube ready to fertilize an egg when it is released. The best way to do this is to have sex the day before you ovulate. This means that if you ovulate on Day 14, then you should have sex on Day 13 and 14 and then abstain on Day 15. This will help ensure healthy sperm are present in your Fallopian tubes, ready for the egg to be released. You should also avoid having intercourse for 3-5 days prior to day 12, to build up a high sperm count. Continue to have intercourse every day or every other day until you are sure that ovulation has occurred. Once ovulation has occurred, again abstain for a couple of days. This reduces the risk of an ageing (and potentially defective) egg being fertilized, which is likely to result in a miscarriage.

Secret No.2 Build up your Partners sperm count prior to getting Pregnant There are techniques that men can use to build up their sperm count, so that the day before you ovulate they are able to deliver the maximum number of healthy sperm. For men, this means 3-5 days of abstinence (sorry guys, no ejaculation at all). Any longer than this and you risk sperm ageing prior to ejaculation.

There is also some ancient yoga, or Tantric Sex practices that can build up sperm count even further. In the 3-5 days of abstinence, research shows that several sessions of extended foreplay, but with no ejaculation, can build up sperm levels (but beware of frustration levels!). Repeating this process over a period of time can increase sperm quality and quantity.

Secret No. 3 Don’t try to conceive if ovulation occurs on day 17th or later This is the most important part of the secret. Not applying this part of the Secret is a major cause of miscarriage. Once you understand it, you will be able to recognize which cycles would result in a viable fetus, and which cycles would result in a miscarriage. Temperature graphs van be used to determine the timing of ovulation. During your monthly cycle, basal (or body-at-rest) temperature changes and when you ovulate, the production of progesterone increases. Progesterone is the hormone released by the corpus luteum, the “crater” left behind after an egg has been released. Progesterone production causes a small (0.5º Celsius or 1º Fahrenheit) rise in basal temperature. So you know that the day your basal temperature increases is probably the day you ovulated. However, ovulation could have occurred up to 3 days before the temperature increase.

The optimal time for ovulation is day 14 or earlier, when the chances of producing a viable fetus are about 90%. If you ovulate on day 15 or later, the chances fall to 43%.

This part of the secret was not very well known. Regular late ovulation decreases your chances of getting pregnant. You ovulate less, statistically, and the endometrial lining is not optimal anymore to allow implantation. Late ovulation also results in a higher risk of miscarriage, as the older egg may be defective, and the aging corpus luteum may not be able to produce enough progesterone, which is the hormone that prepares your uterus for pregnancy, and prevents you from getting your period.

I am quite sure that by following these three simple and easy secrets which are not known to most of the couples, the chances of getting pregnant will be quite higher.
