There are approximately 5.7 million adult American people affected by Bi-polar disorder or manic depression. Bipolar disorder is not more common amongst women , it is a misconception, because studies confirm that men and women are equally affected by the affliction. But the treatment for bipolar disorder are differ between man and women even the number of men and women affected by manic depression are similar. This is particularly important when treating bi-polar disorder in women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

Since the onset of bi-polar disorder commonly occurs in young adulthood most women diagnosed with the illness will be of child bearing age for some time. It is important for women who have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder to carefully weigh their treatment options if they plan to become pregnant.

The great caring plan can reducing the potential risks to mom and the fetus both. Certain special medications or the treatment for bipolar disorder for pregnant woman have been shown decrease the risk of birth defects. These medications include Tegretol and Depakote, two anticonvulsant medications that shown to be effective in treating the symptoms of bi-polar disorder even have great serious birth defects potential like spina bifida.

And lithium also the  first generation anti-psychotics such Haldol are preferred as good pregnant women's mood stabilizers because they have consistently shown minimal risk to the fetus.In most cases women consume Depakote to control their bi-polar symptoms are encouraged to switch to another mood stabilizer before conception, due to the increased risk of birth defects that has been associated with the use of Depakote during pregnancy.

In 2006 , there A study that released their research that 20.3 % of pregnant mom who took Depakote had babies who experienced serious adverse outcomes. This baffle number has pushed experts into an opinion about Depakote which should only be taken by pregnant women if it is absolutely needed by the mom for well being.

Spina bifida is the one of the most serious birth defects that has been associated with the use of Depakote. Spina bifida is a rare neural tube defect where some of the vertebrae overlaying the spinal cord are not fully formed and remain unfused and open.

In the population at large the risk of having a child born with spina bifida is less than 1 in 1000; however, if the fetus has been exposed to Depakote the risk of spina bifida can be as high as 2 percent.

It is extremely important that women who are using medications to treat the symptoms bi-polar disorder and plan on becoming pregnant carefully plan their pregnancy with their doctor to ensure that potential risks to the fetus are minimized.

TENS years ago, a quarter of a century-old woman who is not married are considered as "old maid." Now married too many who do not want to have children soon after career. Even until the age of three. Whereas pregnancy over the age of 35 years of relatively risky.

Research U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2006 earlier declared an increased risk of death during childbirth, nearly three-fold in women older than 35 years. The main causes of maternal death in childbirth of them bleeding, blood embolism (blockage of fractions derived from thrombus or blood clot in the cardiovascular system) and abnormalities of blood pressure.

High-risk pregnancy means having one or more risk factors, which may interfere with the process of pregnancy and childbirth. Some of these factors could be related to maternal or fetal problems. Starting from the disease accompanied, for example the heart, lungs, diabetes and high blood pressure. The age of pregnant women who were too young (under 16 years), age above 35 years old, tall mother less than 140 cm, the amount is more than one fetus, position of breech or transverse fetus.

Factors including age plays an important role in the process of pregnancy. The risk pregnant mothers at a young age usually appear as they are not prepared psychologically or physically. The risk of pregnant women over 35 years related to the reproductive organs function has decreased.

Beware of Down's syndrome

Pregnancy above 35 years need to watch out for the increased risk of abnormalities in fetal Down's syndrome, which is a combination of disorders of mental retardation and physical abnormalities caused by chromosomal abnormalities.

Until recently, chromosomal abnormalities have occurred because eggs are elderly, exposed to radiation, the influence of drugs, infections and so on. These abnormalities can be detected early by screening blood and ultrasound.

Examination that can be done is the examination of amniocentesis, the amniotic fluid way of taking such a needle through the instrument is inserted through the abdomen of the mother. This examination can be carried out after the pregnancy into the age of 16-20 weeks. If the fetus is shown to suffer from Down's syndrome, usually the doctor will explain to the pregnant women concerned, what will happen, whether the pregnancy can continue, how the risks. The doctor will leave the decision to partner-husband's wife.

Perform Inspection of Blood Sugar

Another examination is equally important is blood sugar tests to detect the possibility of gestational diabetes or diabetes that only occurs in pregnant women, due to hormonal changes during pregnancy that makes the insulin work to be halted.

If previously has history of diabetes, means must be more vigilant, because it would give the effect of physical abnormalities in the baby's innate. On the contrary, despite having no history of diabetes, pregnant women over the age of 35 years also needs to be careful because most of gestational diabetes do not feel symptoms. Some of the symptoms that often arises is weight loss for no apparent reason, my eyes blurred, tingling, and itching in the pubic area.

Gestational diabetes can make excessive weight babies. As a result the process was forced by Cesarean birth. In addition, postpartum hemorrhage can also threaten the mother's life. To prevent complications, pregnant women strict blood sugar control through diet, exercise, and implement a healthy lifestyle.

Pre-eclampsia

Other disorders that should watch out for is the pre-eclampsia. Symptoms, blood pressure increased significantly (hypertension) to more than 140/90 mmHg, urinary protein, swelling of ankles, hands, and sometimes face.

Once diagnosed, doctors will control blood pressure. Doctors also assess the condition of organs such as kidneys, heart, lung, liver, eyes, brain, and nervous system because of feared an interruption function.

The fetus is also checked. This is to determine the action to be taken, whether extended or pregnancy should be "Forced" .

3P for Normal Childbirth

During this circulation the assumption that pregnant women above 35 years would have Cesarean birth. In the process of birth, in the familiar three components of passage (birth canal), power (the power of the mother) and passenger (baby). That is, if there are no abnormalities in all three, delivery can take place as normal.

AS one of the variations to make love, make love in the water helping couples to achieve satisfaction. In order to procreate, the possibility of the couple to get a very small offspring.

Instead of a pregnancy, the possibility of sperm into the vagina is very small. In addition to protecting from bacteria that comes in, the sperm would be rejected. That way the chances of conception is very small.

As there sperm penetration and began to spray. Vaginal thickening elastically to a certain size to accommodate the sperm. However, because the sperm in the water and eventually washed join wasted.

If sperm entry, will be back out soluble in water. Second, the water containing chlorine sperm will not survive long.

Check In is a routine examination in obstetrics and gynecology in addition to inspection (examination from the outside). Basically, this examination is to monitor the pregnancy and other disorders of the reproductive organs, so that the various risks or negative impacts that arise in pregnancy can be treated.

To monitor the pregnancy, Check In is generally performed first at the age of about 34-36 weeks of pregnancy. Check In did by a doctor to assess the capacity or size of the pelvis, is relatively quite large, medium, or narrow to pass the fetus. That way, doctors can predict whether the delivery can be performed normally or not.

Check In performed again at 38-40 weeks of gestation, and before delivery. At that time, you usually begin to experience heartburn on a regular basis. This time the check in aims to monitor or assess the progress of labor, size of the opening of the cervix, had reached the opening number, or the extent to which the opening. Check In also done to monitor how the decline in fetal body parts into the pelvic cavity. The doctor also will check the condition of amniotic fluid, how membranes, if still intact or already broken.

Detection Other problems
Check In is generally not necessary at the beginning of pregnancy or first trimester. But Check In can be done if there is any indication, or you have a complaint that led to the suspicion of abnormalities or disorders. For example, the emergence of abnormal vaginal discharge accompanied by odor, itch, and color. In addition, if you complain about mucus discharge that makes you feel uncomfortable, or mole who feared miscarriage.

On this occasion, Check In do than to find out what the cause is also to assess how much white mucus in the birth canal, is still in its early stages normal or not.

Check In can also be done when there is bleeding during pregnancy, such as bleeding from the uterus that can have a bad impact on pregnancy. Check In time aims to find where the source, and what causes that can immediately be determined what action or therapy to be done.

Outside of pregnancy and childbirth, Check In can also be done if the alleged defects of the vagina (if there is inflammation, injury, tumors or lip cancer of the uterus), uterine mouth conditions (dry, slippery, open / closed), and fluid from the cavity of the uterus (the blood or white).

The last few years is quite a lot of young couples who delay pregnancy after marriage, either because of work, want to continue school or not ready to have children. Please note, the cell egg (ovum) of a woman who will not grow since birth. Each month a few cells will mature eggs (ready to be fertilized) and some others will be atresia (not growing).

With age, the egg cell that we have less and less. With age, our fertility (ability to conceive) diminish. At the age of 20-24 years, female fertility reaches 100 percent. At the age of 35-39 years, 60 percent lived in fertility, even only 25 percent at age 40-44 years. Getting "old" her egg, also allows the pregnancy with congenital abnormalities in infants (birth defects). From the study it was found that the possibility of birth defects in babies conceived by women over the age of 35 years and 3 times more common in women than younger.

Thus, delaying pregnancy until the age of 28 years was allowed. Discuss the (potential) husband about the number of children wanted, so before the age of 35 years, pregnancy and delivery process is complete. Remember also that the distance between the child should be 2 years. Before postponing pregnancy, you and your partner should consult to ensure reproductive organs and functions in good condition. Just as important, optimizing the conditions prior to pregnancy (preconception preparation). One of them by consuming enough folic acid.

PROCESS pregnancy especially early in the first month often involve professionals such as midwives and doctors content. Most of our doctors are often encountered "stingy talk" when most mothers were many candidates come to the doctor without knowing to what he was doing a series of inspections and what the right question to ask.

Miscarriages often accompanied by physical and psychological trauma. When trying to get pregnant after a miscarriage, takes care of that psychic trauma. There are several steps that need to be prepared as stated by the American Pregnancy Association.

Consult with your doctor regularly for six months to a year after the miscarriage. The goal, make sure your body ready to conceive again. Also, make sure that the mother's emotional condition was stable.

Percentage success was pregnant again after miscarriage reached 85 percent. If recurrent miscarriage, there are still 75 percent range for successful pregnancy.

If pregnancy does not arrive, ask your doctor to determine the health development. Appears reasonable worry and fear losing fetus. Especially at the beginning of pregnancy after a miscarriage. Will usually arise when caring for a sense of uncertainly newborns. It relates to the fear of losing the baby back.

Discuss with your doctor or a community that supports you if one day face the problem of pregnancy and baby care.

EVEN bulge stomach is, some pregnant women often wear high heels to enhance your appearance. In fact, sometimes the safety of themselves less attention. Moms ! Do not torture yourself! If it does not feel comfortable, why should be enforced?

Big changes happening
One significant change during pregnancy is a change in the muscle and bone system as a buffer body. Additions include elements of body mass or body fluid density structure, whether it comes from the fetus or the mother's own body.

Women who are fit body before she was pregnant, generally can tolerate these changes well. Unlike the people who do not fit, such as the woman who left office early and leave late, and who do not regularly exercise. Although this office lady outwardly healthy, but it really does not fit her body.

When pregnant, the uterus will be large and growing muscles of the abdominal wall was increasingly stretched. At that time, the pregnant women center of gravity will shift. Posture will also experience a change in which the shoulders would be like stuck to the back and head until his neck will be more swing forward for balance.

Furthermore, the veins that binds joints will loosen with age pregnancy. Coupled with the depletion of calcium during pregnancy, the muscles that would have been a very big burden during pregnancy.

If Wear High Heels
When pregnant women wearing high heels shoes, there is also a shift in the pivot. If the original is the pivot on the heel and then forwarded to the muscles of the back leg (calf) and back - primarily while standing and walking - so by using high heels shoes that point in the middle of the resultant of the force received by the heel and the front third soles of the feet. This causes the muscles that "forced" to continue stepping stones to the anterior lower leg will be fatigue (feeling tired).

Usually, high heels pregnant women users will feel the fatigue in the legs and back. Fatigue until the numbness is directly proportional to the high heel shoes. Heels high heels better choose a broad base and not too high, about 3-4 cm.

At the stature fit pregnant women, it is possible that muscle fatigue occurs very minimal. Because the muscles are fit pregnant women already trained.

Use But Body Must Fit
So if the expectant mother is accustomed to wearing high heels and diligent exercise before, the use of high heels will be very little affect muscle and bone. Well, this kind pregnant women can still use the high heels shoes.

But it is strongly recommended for untrained pregnant women to avoid the use of high heels so that the muscles are not forced to buffer the body causing excessive inconvenience others.

Mean age of pregnancy increases the burden that must be taken by pregnant women. Until the age of 5-6 months of pregnancy, one can still be seen pregnant women gracefully with her high heels. But afterwards, it would be nice and comfortable if pregnant women not use high heels until the end of her pregnancy.

Terms of Shoes for pregnant women

1. Does not increase Workload muscle
2. Not easy to cause injury
3. Fit to increase the burden pregnant women
4. Terms of shoes above are not likely to be found in high heels shoes. Sneakers, flat shoes, sandals rubber mat will be pregnant women shoe needs. However, if high heels into something that can not be separated then choose heel shoes no more than 3 cm, with a wide heel tread.

When do you know yourself you are pregnant? If you are too late to know you're pregnant, you do not own it you know, according to statistical data, it is usually women and couples are generally too late to know the presence of fetal / infant.

When did you find yourself pregnant? Many respondents who reported that he had detect / see signs of pregnancy after a late menstrual and pregnancy test pregnancy tests use a lot of freely sold in pharmacies.Apparently if you only know after that period, the fetus is growing and developing inside your body for 1 month without any dietary / special nutrients contained in milk pregnancy.

It is natural that at the beginning of pregnancy the mother did not know that she was pregnant let alone in the first pregnancy. In the next period's schedule will be slightly up with blood which then regarded as normal menstruation. However, if further observed, these spots is one sign of pregnancy is called a sign Hartman.

Hartman Signs of a similar blood menstrual blood, unlike menstrual Hartman signs are usually much less. That although the form of blood spots, a sign Hartman is not dangerous for both mother and fetus. But, for women who feel this blood is too much when pregnancy test says positive it may be useful to consult a doctor immediately.

To ensure that mothers really pregnant, the following are signs of pregnancy can women feel during the transition from not pregnant to be pregnant:

• Changes in the body sense
• Pain bloating and pain that comes when the breast is pressed
• Often not well

Changes - changes above is highly relative in women who are pregnant young, to convince myself and my husband's mother, it's worth it checked out immediately using a pregnancy test or consult the gynecologist. Through ultrasound examination to ensure doctors can see the enlargement of pregnancy with uterus or by hearing your baby's heartbeat using the media / specific tools.

In the early weeks of pregnancy this is usually the mother does not realize that she was pregnant. This is because it changes that happened to him was not so he feels, if it is felt, some people may consider it only as an ordinary illness.

This is what self harm a fetus and / babies because mothers tend not to keep the intake of nutrients they eat or even keep doing the things prohibited in pregnancy such as traveling on an airplane or taking drugs - drugs that are sold freely on the market without a doctor's advice. In certain circumstances, because pregnant women do not keep the condition may be out of mole-mole blood then only be regarded as normal menstrual / menstrual little too late from the usual schedule.

For this reason, usually a few colleagues advise pregnant women who want to consume milk at the time of pregnancy to occur conception / fertilization, the fetus can grow and develop with optimal nutrition.

To ensure there is spouse of pregnancy should be particularly diligent mother pregnancy test by using pregnancy test kits are sold freely in pharmacies and other health stores.

Pregnancy test kits work by detecting the pregnancy hormone (HCG hormone) released by the mother / woman / female. This tool is typically used at the time 1 - 2 weeks late period. The most appropriate time to conduct the test is in the morning when the pregnancy hormone (HCG hormone) woman / wife have accumulated so that the urine / piss first issued containing the pregnancy hormone (HCG hormone) is very high.

Even if the tool is then gave a negative result, you do not rush to conclusions that the mother / wife not pregnant. Assay which gave a negative result indicates only that the pregnancy test is not able to detect the pregnancy hormone (HCG hormone) in urine / pee mother / wife.

Some of the things that cause errors pregnancy test kits are:

• The damage to the device
• Error usage
• When the use of inappropriate
• Error saving pregnancy test
• The disruption of hormones in the mother / wife so that the tool can give pregnancy test negative and positive results

The body of a woman's weight before pregnancy, the greater the risk of pregnancy complications are encountered, according to a study.

Using data from more than 24,000 British women who gave birth between 1976 and 2005, researchers found that the risk of interference, such as high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia and premature births increased with weight gain during pregnancy of a woman.

The findings, published in the journal BMC Public Health Online, adding evidence that the obesity risk for both mother and baby. The findings also support the notion that all pregnancies in women fat should be viewed as "high risk", and handled carefully, concluded the study authors, led by Dr. Sohinee Bhattacharya of Aberdeen Maternity Hospital.

The researchers found that compared with normal bodied women, fat women 50% more likely to deal with post-birth bleeding and two times more likely to deliver premature. They are also more likely to require Cesarean birth or through force.

Fat woman who does not normally have the highest risk for having pre-eclampsia, complications are potentially serious birth was marked by an increase in blood pressure suddenly and kidney disorders.

Conversely, the study also found that lean women before pregnancy tend to have the lowest risk of all these complications. However, they are more likely than normal-bodied women to have babies with less body weight.

These results add more evidence about the importance of the mother's body weight in pregnancy outcomes, Bhattachrya team said.

"Evidence on the relationship of obesity in significant complications during pregnancy increased," the researchers wrote. "It is time for doctors to be aware of these findings and begin to use it in their practice."

In addition to good care before birth, they said, also need counseling to women with body fat in order to reduce their weight before they conceive.

If all this much more often women postponing pregnancy for career reasons or are not ready to have children is a good idea to think about it again. In this 20-year trend of pregnancy in women over age 35 years rose sharply, especially in big cities, but having children over that age are most at risk to mother and fetus.

Expert fertility clinic in London was saddened by the increasing number of women 'vulnerable age' who face problems in their pregnancy. They say the best age to have children is between ages 20 to 35 years.

The team led by gynecologist Dr Susan Bewley, who deal with women with high risk pregnancies at Guy's Hospital and St. Thomas in London warned that the problem of fertility began to rise after the women entered the age of 35 years and worse at the age above 40 years.
In an article in the British Medical Journal, BMJ, the specialists write: "The availability of IVF fertility treatment make many women think they can wait years to find a suitable man and focus on career. But when they can live comfortably as is often desirable fertility treatment too late. "

lare Brown, Chief of Treatment Infertility Network UK said, "The decline of fertility of women over the age of 35 years are generally exacerbated by a blockage in a particular channel or a low sperm count in men. If this happens the success of IVF fertility treatment will be much lower '" continued Brown .

They warned that IVF treatment can not guarantee a woman can have children because of the high failure rate. Meanwhile, for men there is also a risk, delaying a decision to be a father and older will decrease the number and quality of their sperm.

Risks experienced by pregnant women over the age of 35 years is the vulnerability of miscarriage pregnancy, fetal and chromosomal defects and other diseases that attack the pregnancy.

"Modern women may want to 'do everything' but the structure of human biology has not changed. We feel sad because we were treating people who can not conceive or pregnancy complications," said Dr Bewley.

"The best age to have children was before 35 years. It never changes. I do not want to blame women who choose to pursue a career first, or make them afraid. The difficulty arises because the public, doctors and midwives also have a less precise view of the role of women and pregnancy, "added Dr. Bewley.

"Doctors and midwives need to understand this issue well and bring relief to women so that they achieve their potential to have a child by natural means. We must help as much as possible so that women can have children before the age of 35 years past," said Dr Bewley says age 20-35 is the right age for having children.

"Encouragement and biological functions is one thing that can not be changed," said Peter Bowen-Simpkins of Sciences Institute of Pregnancy and Gynecology.BBC

Pregnant women sometimes like a lazy exercise for fear of something happening to her pregnancy. And sports is required during pregnancy to prevent babies born with excess weight and get healthy babies.

Researchers from Norway shows that pregnant women who exercise regularly have less risk for having a baby with excess weight. This does not depend on how much exercise does the mother during pregnancy.

The woman who gave birth to babies with excess body weight in the sense that weigh more than 4 pounds or 8 pounds, regardless of how long, risk has a number of complications.

"The risks faced by these women are experiencing heavy bleeding after childbirth, and have a greater risk of obesity in the future," said Dr. Mari Katrine owe from the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, was quoted as saying by Reuters.

The study involved 36,869 women with singleton pregnancies based on data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study and the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. Among these pregnant women reported that women exercise at least 3 times a week after reaching the age of 17 weeks of pregnancy, reduce the risk of having a baby with excess body weight by 25 percent.

While women who exercise at least 3 times a week after 30 weeks of gestation, reducing the risk of having a baby with excess weight by 22 percent. The amount of exercise performed before pregnancy did not affect the baby's weight during pregnancy.

The researchers added that performed exercise during pregnancy can help prevent the fetus from growing too large, a way to help maintain the body's ability to keep blood sugar levels under control. Walking is the safest exercise for pregnant women.

If you have high blood sugar and diabetes during pregnancy is a risk factor that has most babies with excess body weight. Until now there is no definitive standard for determining what amount of exercise needed by pregnant women.

Given the adverse effects that can be incurred if the baby is born with excess weight, it should be recommended for pregnant women to exercise regularly. Thus avoiding complications during childbirth and children become obese later.

Do I Pregnant? This question should be more easily answered if we have regular menstrual cycles. The easiest way to find out that the fetus has been present in the uterus is by using a pregnancy test, but actually there are some signs that can be used as guidelines.

1. Fatigue

Easily tired and listless is one sign of pregnancy. Increased levels of the hormone progesterone, which occurs early in pregnancy is thought to cause drowsiness. Usually, this fatigue will be ended after the age of two trimester of pregnancy.

2. Breast swelling

Early signs of pregnancy is breast swollen and sensitive that caused by increased hormone levels, usually occurs a week after your period late. Discomfort due to swelling is similar to the usual symptoms we feel before menstruation.

3. Nausea and vomiting

Symptoms of nausea and vomiting commonly experienced by pregnant women commonly referred to as morning sickness. These symptoms can appear at any time, not only in the morning. In general, pregnant women had experienced a month after conception, but there is also a faster feel.

4. Bleeding slightly

Approximately 11-12 days after conception, sometimes reddish spots appeared in the vagina. Bleeding occurs because the seeds are embedded in the lining of the uterus. Generally, red patches or pinkish looking for 1-2 days. Similar bleeding can be symptoms of the disease in the reproductive tract.

5. Smell is more sensitive

In the first trimester, many pregnant women feel more sensitive to smell a particular scent. There are sick certain cooking smells or perfume. Unknown scientific reasons these symptoms, but may occur due to increased estrogen levels dramatically in the body system.

6. Frequent urination

In the first months of pregnancy, pregnant women will be more diligent back and forth to the toilet to urinate. Why? This occurs because the increased circulation of blood and fluids in the body, is also pressure on the urinary tract due to enlargement of the uterus.

7. Temperature rises

If at the beginning of your pregnancy to measure body temperature, you will notice your body temperature increases so much warmer.

8. No menstruation

If your menstrual cycle had always been regular but this month too late, maybe you should immediately seek a pregnancy test to ensure the existence of pregnancy.

Pregnancy is an event that in waiting for every woman. How wonderful family, when the presence of a baby. But besides that miscarriage is a scourge for every pregnant woman. Miscarriages are most in fear by many pregnant women. Miscarriages can happen suddenly without any reason.

There was no event or trauma that preceded the occurrence of miscarriage. Miscarriage is often called an early miscarriage because it happens in the first trimester of pregnancy. Can even occur in early pregnancy, such as the mid-fertilization, when the mother supposed to menstruate. That's why a miscarriage occurs often unnoticed, due to be accompanied by severe menstrual cramps and pain.

Miscarriages can be due to diabetes, a disorder of the uterus, uterine tumors, cervical weakness. To find the cause, checks should be done right and proper.In the event of miscarriage, the uterus to contract so strong that the conceptus can no longer survive in the womb.

Outing the conceptus is expected to occur completely, wrapped in a fetus with the amniotic and the placenta. In this aboitus bleeding usually do not get out her fetus, and placenta still teltinggal in the cavity of the uterus.

Almost every normal pregnancy and had at least one symptom of mild cramps, pain, or feel interested in one or both sides of the abdomen. This can be caused by stretching muscles supporting the uterus ,pregnant mother may also experience spotting during fertilization.

However, the following symptom is usually a sign of miscarriage:

• Cramps or pain in the middle and lower abdomen with bleeding. Or, come down and accompanied by bleeding.
• Pain is very, or pain settled and lasted for 24 hours or more without the bleeding.
• It could also bleed a lot like menstruation, without pain.
• Exit light spots continuously for 3 days or more.

There is a word that have strong related with the condition of pregnant woman when she in first or third trimester, it is "tired"!!. It can easily examined because they usually will show the fisical exposes such as droopy eyed, sad, stand apart and others which we can concluded in one word "tired".

Actually you can easily handle this situation , take a walk around the block or go to your office friends desk if you in office. You have to empower yourself to increase your energy to faced with the challenge of growing a baby and your body.

In this period, your body will produce more blood, need more water and nutrients which influence of the high of heart rate and metabolism. And the best defensive solution to overcoming the tiredness is sleep more. If you don't have a chance to take more sleep, healthy foods will help you to get through your day.

First, adjust the size of your meals. Anyone who eats a large meal is going to feel tired afterwards regardless of if they are pregnant or not.
