This section of the website will provide you with a variety of information about pregnancy.

This page will help you understand many of the terms and definitions associated with pregnancy, fertility, and infertility.

From the very beginning of your pregnancy, your body, both externally and internally, goes through major changes. We have highlighted many of the changes you may experience.

To eat well during pregnancy you must do more than simply increase how much you eat. You must also consider what you eat. What you eat right before and during your pregnancy can affect the health of your growing baby.

A balanced diet is the best way to receive nutrients, but vitamin supplements and natural herbs can also be beneficial. Pregnant women should only take vitamin supplements and herbs with the knowledge of their health care provider.

Unless there are medical reasons to avoid it, pregnant women can exercise moderately on most, if not all, days. Exercise can help you feel better. Additionally, the calories burned help prevent too much weight gain during the pregnancy.

There are several things that your health care provider may not have discussed with you but would be very helpful for you to know.  These are some of the things that may surprise you regarding your pregnancy.
