			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are certain symptoms that may visualize the chance of pregnancy in a woman. The most common way to become sanguine about the fact is by conducting a pregnancy test. But at times, it may well be a bit too early to opt for the test. There are certain subtle signs that can indicate chances of pregnancy. Some common sign include fatigue, nausea, tenderness in breast, and frequent urination. In the following lines, learn about the top signs of pregnancy and ways to deal with those.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://assets.babycenter.com/ims/2012/09/veer_2228216_wide.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-913"></span></p>
<p><strong>Sign #1: Food Aversions</strong></p>
<p>Feeling for that scoop of ice-cream? Want to crave more on pickle and masala foods? These are surely early symptoms of being pregnant. Women tend to develop a very intense food aversion once they are expecting. This is mainly caused due to high rise in beta-hCG hormone level in the woman.</p>
<p><strong>Sign #2: Fatigue</strong></p>
<p>Sudden extreme fatigue can be a sign indicating early pregnancy. Well, fatigue can cause due to other health problems too. But still it is considered to be an indication that the woman might be expecting. However, fatigue should not be treated with excessive caffeine. In fact, those who have a chance of being pregnant, they need to avoid caffeine products more. The best way to fight fatigue is through proper rest. Also, don&#8217;t take any tension and stay calm.</p>
<p><strong>Sign #3: Nausea &amp; Vomiting</strong></p>
<p>Frequent nausea &amp; vomiting is often considered to be the most common indications for a girl of being pregnant. It happens because of rising nature of hormones during the pregnancy period. However, the most common relief that expecting moms receive from doctor is that nausea and vomiting will dissolve by the end of 19 weeks. Morning sickness can also be a strong indication for early pregnancy. Queasiness can be eased away by some quality intake of lemon and peppermint. Also, never keep the stomach totally empty. Hunger can lead to vomiting and queasiness during pregnancy. Also, never take the vitamin tablets on empty stomach. It can trigger nausea. Most of the expecting moms take these vitamin tablets with dinner.</p>
<p><strong>Sign #4: Sensitivity to smells</strong></p>
<p>Expecting mom can feel strong irritation to certain smells. It can be that very pleasing smell of the cologne or that of cigarette smoke. It can make the lady queasy during early stages of pregnancy. This, again, happens due to high rise in hormone levels. Simply avoid them as there are no other solutions available. Avoiding cigarette smoke is mandatory as it is very harmful for both the mom and baby.</p>
<p><strong>Sign #5. Shortness of Breath</strong></p>
<p>There are some women who feel shortness of breath while being in the early pregnancy stage. And then, there are some expecting moms who feel like this throughout the pregnancy period. This happens because of the growing embryo inside the body. Naturally, extra oxygen is required for proper breathing. This can be a critical sign and doctor consultation is a must.</p>
<p><strong>Sign #6: Swelling &amp; tenderness in the breast</strong></p>
<p>Changes in breast shape can surely be a chance that the girl is expecting. To deal with such a situation, it is always better to wear a sports bra that provides more support to the breast.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The simple rule is that smoking is injurious to health. So in this regard, the smoking during the pregnancy will not be good at all. Still, some women do not obey it as they smoke during their pregnancy. In the course of time, their babies are born with some physical defects and disorders. But if we become serious about the smoking in pregnancy, then we can give birth the healthy child. Practically, smoking is prohibited during the pregnancy time. So every woman should follow some criteria about quitting smoking at pregnancy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rigewgxd8v4/T0uGeIBaDPI/AAAAAAAABmc/ULd49OfqkdM/s1600/iStock_000014140328XSmall.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-911"></span></p>
<p><strong>Death</strong></p>
<p>The heinous effect of smoking to the pregnant woman is huge. The reason is that their babies can be born prematurely or they born death. So in this connection, during the pregnancy, smoking should be stopped. If you are a regular smoker, then you have to resist it at any cost. The umbilical cord of the mother is the lifeline for the baby who is till born in the mother&#8217;s womb. When the mother smokes a cigarette, then carbon monoxide is developed in the mother bloodstreams. It will make the short supply of the oxygen to the baby&#8217;s heart which will ultimately choke the heart&#8217;s development and can make some disorders with it. After that when the baby will born , then you will get the baby with the defective heart. When the short supply of the oxygen happens to the baby&#8217;s heart as well as it will affect the baby&#8217;s brain as well, then the baby may die in the mother&#8217;s womb usually. Also you should know that smoking can increase the cot death in the large proportion as well.</p>
<p><strong>Deformation</strong></p>
<p>Smoking during the pregnancy will kill the smooth development of the baby&#8217;s body. So there will be a great chance to have a deformed baby. Actually, the deformation is happening due to the short supply of the oxygen. It is very much essential for any human body development during its stay in the womb. If somehow the shortage of oxygen is happening in the body, then some kinds of deformation in the body will be occurred which will be non-curable after the birth. Actually, the babies have to carry the deformity through their life. Even, the smoking mother will give birth the smaller baby. You should also know that a cigarette has more than 4,000 chemicals which are very much deadly for the adult human body. So these chemicals will be very much dangerous to the pregnant woman as well as her baby.</p>
<p><strong>Miscarriage</strong></p>
<p>There will be a great chance for having a miscarriage due to the smoking at the pregnant time. Even, you will have a premature baby birth which is very much conducive for the babies and their mothers as well. Although, the first three months of the pregnancy will have less effect on the mother and egg fertilization. It will start to affect on the baby when the baby&#8217;s body is forming in the mother&#8217;s womb.</p>
<p>So, smoking will not be a good option for any woman who are in the pregnancy period and the mother should avoid it during this important time period.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t want to conceive a child? Then, take help of Birth control pill to prevent the pregnancy. In fact, this pill prevents ovulation after the male sperm enters the female foetus.Without ovulation; there is absolutely no chance of pregnancy. Those who are eager to conceive a baby need to stop intake of Birth Control pill. A woman need not have to wait for some particular time in order to conceive safely. In fact, it is totally safer to conceive soon enough after the pill intake process has stopped. It might take some additional time to continue with normal ovulation process (impact of continuous intake of pill). But that is absolutely normal. There are some women who have experienced ovulation after a gap of 10-15 days post pill stoppage. There are also women who have experienced ovulation after a couple of months. But all these are quite natural. The reason behind delay in ovulation is because of irregular periods and pill intake at a very early stage.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ladycarehealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Get-Pregnant-After-Stop-Taking-Birth-Control-Pills.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /><span id="more-907"></span></p>
<p>A lot of women experience complete stoppage of period because of continuous pill intake. Such a situation is often termed as Amenorrhea. However, once the period gets stopped, most women think that they have become pregnant.</p>
<p>There are two things that can happen once intake of birth control pill is stopped:</p>
<p>1) The woman is pregnant (better to carry out a pregnancy test)</p>
<p>2) Ovulation process in the woman has stopped for some unknown period</p>
<p>Whatever may it be, it is always best to carry out a pregnancy test. It will ensure whether the woman is pregnant or not. If a negative pregnancy test is repeated over a couple of weeks, this ensures that the woman is not pregnant.</p>
<p>What happens when stoppage in period is experienced for more than couple of months even after the pill intake has stopped? It is quite a common scenario. Approaching a doctor is always the best option to have. However, it is advised not to panic during such situations. Such situations are quite common. Contraceptive pills containing progesterone and estrogen are always considered the best and most common oral contraceptives available in the market at a present stage. These are commonly known as Combined Contraceptive Pills. These pills reduce the levels of certain hormones while suppressing those natural hormones responsible for stimulating ovaries to get ripen and then release egg. SO, it can be clearly observed that the ovulation process is prevented from taking place once intake of these combined contraceptive pills starts. Combined contraceptives prevent egg from being released or developed for one entire cycle.</p>
<p>Menstrual cycle will not happen properly when a women is taking contraceptive pill. The main reason is because of sudden decrease in the hormone level. Always remember, intake of combined contraceptive pills will not allow ovulation to take place. As a result, chances of pregnancy is almost nil in such situations. Since the cycle is totally controlled by these pills, those women who take oral contraceptives usually experience regular menstrual periods after a gap of 28 days on a monthly basis.</p>
<p>In case, the menstrual cycle has not commenced successfully even after 3 months, then it is better to consult a gynecologist for further solutions and advice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Iron supplements that you are popping up with an aim of adding into your health conditions during pregnancy, might lead to some birth complications in case taken in access. This is according to research conducted at Children&#8217;s Hospital Oakland Research Institute. The research lays clear guidelines as to a pregnant woman should keep a tab on iron intake unless she is not anemic. Non-anemic women should restrict the iron intake to weekly rather than daily as an over dose can lead to serious complications including pre mature babies and babies with low birth weight. Iron deficiency is common among women of childbearing age, and doctors have ordered daily supplements of 60 mg to 120 mg of iron to prevent or correct anemia and iron deficiency during pregnancy. You can read the study the May issue of Archives of Medical Research.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s another reason for pregnant women to take care of themselves and the life in their womb so that they give birth to a healthy baby and save him/her from being pre-mature. According to a Danish study, pre-term and low birth weight babies are three times more vulnerable to suffer from hyperactive behavior in comparison to the babies born after completion of the entire term. Babies born at 34-36 weeks are 80% more likely to have hyperkinetic disorder (HKD), which is characterized by low attention span and impulsiveness. The study comes as a call to all the pregnant mothers to work towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle all through the pregnancy, in order to give birth to a healthy baby born after the completion of the gestation period.</p>
