Backaches and leg cramps are high among the list of complaints and are normal. <br /><br />Backaches are one of the most common complaints of pregnancy. They are caused by an increased sway in your lower back from the weight of your baby. Wear shoes with a low heel and try to be aware of your posture. To help relieev stress in your lower back, try sitting with your legs propped up so thatyou knees are higher than your hips. A warm bath and back rub may also help. Although backaches are common throughout pregnancy, a dull, low backache, especially if it "comes and goes" or develops a pattern, may be a sign of preterm labor. <br /><br />When you are sleeping or resting you may be bothered by leg cramps. Leg cramps occur more frequently later in pregnancy because your enlarged uterus is slowing down the flow of blood back from your legs. The cramps can also be caused by fatigue or not enough calcium in your diet. A slow, gentle leg stretch before going to bed may help. Be sure to stretch through the heel, pointing your toes toward your nose. If you are having problems with leg cramps, tell your health care provider. <br /><br />These are two common complaints with pregnancy, but be sure to tell your doctor if you're having problems with them.Prenatal Visionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05822488650572721202noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348295826314535047.post-90019770142183188442010-10-02T10:15:00.003-05:002010-10-02T11:46:07.361-05:00Eating Healthy While PregnantEating healthy is an important part of pregnancy. While it can be hard with urgers, here are 5 quick tips to help you out along the way:<br /><br />1. <strong>Pick Protein</strong>- Women need 20% more protein than normal during pregnancy. They should eat food like meat, poultry, and eggs.<br /><br />2. <strong>Stock up on vitamins</strong>- Mothers need iron, folic acid and vitamin B6 in their diet. They should eat iron-fortified cereals and lean meats.<br /><br />3. <strong>Drink fluids</strong>- They help maintain baby's and mom's blood supplies. To prevent dehydrations, drink 8 to 10 cups of water daily.<br /><br />4. <strong>Relieve heartburn</strong>- Relax and eat slowly; small meals are best. Sit up while eating, and avoid lying down for at least an hour after a meal.<br /><br />5. <strong>Pay attention to hunger cues</strong>- If mothers wait until they're ravenous, they're more likely to eat large amounts of unhealthy foods. <br /><br />These are just a few tips to help you out. It's important to eat healthy during your pregnancy and there are many more dietary guidelines to follow. Ask your doctor or primary care physician for more advice.Prenatal Visionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05822488650572721202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348295826314535047.post-91088029399953609402010-09-18T11:05:00.004-05:002010-09-18T11:49:46.173-05:00Preparing For Your Baby's ArrivalThere's so much to think about when expecting a new member of the family.

These sound waves bounce back off the foetus, helping to create a 'picture' of the child on a screen.<br /><br />The new 4D scan us ses the same frequency of sound waves w as in a normal ultrasound. But the sound waves are directed from many more angles, producing a 'real-time' video of the foetus as it moves and allowing scientists to say the images are in four dimensions.<br /><br />This advanced technology has allowed scientists to capture the development of foetuses like never before, including twins and triplets jostling for space in the womb while grasping each other's hands and even faces.<br /><br />The images have also allowed scientists to create life-size silicone models and astonishing computer-generated images of the multiple foetuses, some of which are seen in the pictures shown here.<br /><br />For the first time, it has also been possible to see detailed pictures of 'vanishing twin syndrome' - where a foetus dies and is re-absorbed into the womb, often in the early stages of pregnancy.<br /><br />Doctors estimate this occurs in 11 per cent of pregnancies. Some scientists have suggested that 'vanishing twin syndrome' occurs because of a lack of nutrients, so the mother's body naturally 'loses' one or more foetus in order to boost the survival of the others.<br /><br />Scientists have also been able to examine a variety of twin called a 'mirror' twin, which occasionally occurs when embryos split. This means that while one twin is left-handed, the other is right-handed. But in extreme cases it can lead to one twin having its heart on the left, while the sibling has their heart on the right.<br /><br />London-based obstetrician Professor Stuart Campbell, who is the pioneer of 4D scans in Britain, performed the scans for a National Geographic documentary.<br /><br />He says: 'It was fascinating to see the babies in more detail than ever before. I was amazed at the detail in the faces - smiles, blinking - and the interaction between multiple foetuses.'<br /><br />The scans were used to particular effect when charting the progress of the naturally conceived, identical quadruplets of Julie Carles, 38, whose story was revealed exclusively in the Mail last year.<br /><br />The scans showed the four fetal bodies developing in minute detail - it is even possible to see their eyelids opening - as well as their developmental patterns as they jostle for space in the womb.Prenatal Visionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05822488650572721202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348295826314535047.post-55884728742548186752010-06-03T11:12:00.002-05:002010-06-03T11:17:56.455-05:00Doing Yoga While Pregnant Is Beneficial!<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="'font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:">Benefits of Yoga During Pregnancy</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="'font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:">It has been said that yoga can be very beneficial during pregnancy, but why? Not only does it help you stay fit, it helps improve your energy level and allows you to become more in tune or intimate with your body. Yoga can help with the aches and pains of pregnancy and with mental issues such as moodiness. In turn, yoga can help you have a smooth pregnancy and natural childbirth. Yoga exercises, through a series of gentle stretches, help tone the reproductive organs, pelvis and the rest of your body to ensure an easier childbirth. Yoga breathing exercises, and the act of controlling your energy (or Prana) provide your baby with vital oxygen and the energy from that oxygen. If you are a strong breather you will be more fit and ready for childbirth. Just as Lamaze teaches breathing techniques, so does yoga. Additionally, mastery of yoga breathing techniques can help ease the tension of labor and could help decrease the possibility of postpartum depression. Once you learn meditation through yoga you will have an incredible self awareness that will put you in tune with your baby. It is well known that meditation can help alleviate stress, poor health and fatigue.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/pregnancy-articles/4.html"><span style="'font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:">http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/pregnancy-articles/4.html</span></a></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Here are a few classes that we found, but be sure to call and look around your area for prenatal classes and share them with us :)</p><p class="MsoNormal">Balance Yoga Lounge in Ankeny has six classes for $72<br />Greenhouse Yoga House in West Des Moines offers three months of prenatal yoga for only $170<br />Soundness with Sayde in Cedar Rapids has a deal of seven weeks for only $42<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Now get out there and enjoy your yoga time!</p>Prenatal Visionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05822488650572721202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348295826314535047.post-77094998777166250602010-05-28T14:53:00.000-05:002010-05-28T14:55:00.870-05:00Take a breath, there’s more going on in there than you think!<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="'font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:">Being pregnant is stressful, but you can relax a little more knowing that studies show that women are only able to feel about one-third of the movements inside the belly.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>There’s a lot going on inside there, so it can be tough to determine what exactly is happening.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>If the new study doesn’t help to ease your fears, there are always 3d ultrasounds to calm them ;)<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></span></p><p>Check out the link to read the full article: <span style="'font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;"><a href="http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/lifematters/to-womb-it-may-concern-portrait-of-baby-on-the-move-20100514-v4gy.html">http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/lifematters/to-womb-it-may-concern-portrait-of-baby-on-the-move-20100514-v4gy.html</a></span></p><p><span style="'font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;"><br /></span></p>Prenatal Visionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05822488650572721202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348295826314535047.post-43706334350225349822010-05-13T15:21:00.003-05:002010-05-13T15:24:40.739-05:00Before & After ContestRemember when you first saw your baby at Prenatal Vision?
