Pregnancy Week 2 ~
Advice
for Mom
One
week has passed since the start of your last menstrual
period. Do you chart your cycles to know when you
ovulate? In a few days, your ovaries will open and
release an egg! If you are using ovulation prediction
kits, this may be when you should start testing. Be
sure to read the package insert carefully.
Make
sure you are getting enough calcium. Dairy products
and leafy green vegetables are good sources. It is
very important to stay away from alcohol, cigarettes,
drugs, and medications (including herbal ones) if
you are trying to conceive. On average, ovulation
occurs at this time, but it is different for every
woman. Now is the time to 'babydance' as the egg gets
ready to travel down the fallopian tube.
