It is a good step of preparation to before pregnancy. This is to ensure that you are in best possible health condition during your pregnancy.         &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You may have some of the below medical conditions before your pregnancy. Please take care of it, or this may disrupt your ability to get pregnant. You may need to change your lifestyles or taking new or stop current medications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Tests&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General physical test is required so that there is no medical difficulty during pregnancy. Please include &lt;b style=""&gt;Pap smear, Breast exam, Rubella, blood type, RH-Factor, HIV &lt;/b&gt;and&lt;b style=""&gt; hepatitis. .&lt;/b&gt; It is advisable to do &lt;b style=""&gt;mammogram&lt;/b&gt; if you are 35 or above. If your family has history of medical problems such as diabetes, ask the doctor is there any test needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. Imaging Tests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Avoid image tests such as &lt;i style=""&gt;X-rays&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i style=""&gt;MRIs&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i style=""&gt;CT scans&lt;/i&gt; if you are pregnant. Please make sure to do reliable pregnancy test right before your imaging tests. The best time to do this test is right after your period.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;*3. PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is common if you have &lt;i style=""&gt;in vitro&lt;/i&gt; fertilization (an embryo is created external of the womb by mixing sperm and egg, and then implanted in women). Few cells removed from embryo to make sure it is healthy before implanted. This step is to avoid genetic disease such as down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Tay-Sachs and Turner syndrome. A normal embryo will be implanted in uterus to develop birth.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4.

Once you make your nutrition plan, its shows that you are organizing the environment in which your baby will be conceived, develop and grow. Below are the crucial details that need your attention.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;-&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:7;"  &gt;         &lt;/span&gt;Weight Management&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you are not too overweight or too underweight. Either situation can make pregnancy more difficult for you. Strictly no “DIET “while you try to get conceive. Do not take any diet pills unless you consult with your physician first. Dieting may cause temporary insufficiencies in vitamins and minerals for both you and your developing baby need.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;-&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:7;"  &gt;         &lt;/span&gt;Be careful with Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t eat big amounts or unusual combinations of vitamins, minerals or herbs. In ex: Excessive amounts of Vitamin A can cause birth defects. Stop all extra supplementation at least 3 months before pregnancy. Take 1 Multivitamin and eat a well-balanced diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;-&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:7;"  &gt;         &lt;/span&gt;Folic Acid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is a B vitamin (B9) that contributes to a fit pregnancy? 0.4mg of folic acid should be taken starting from 3-4 months before pregnancy to protect the developing baby from various birth defects of spine and brain called &lt;i style=""&gt;neural-tube defects&lt;/i&gt;. A defect called &lt;i style=""&gt;spina-bifida&lt;/i&gt; which grows in first few weeks of pregnancy troubles 4000 babies in US every year. Studies have shown that this can be prevented by mother-to-be consuming folic acid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; -&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:7;"  &gt;         &lt;/span&gt;Begin Good Eating Habits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many women out there don’t really pay attention to what they eat on her pre-pregnancy. Balance is the key to good nutrition. Eat a balanced diet.

Every time you carry, make sure your palm supports baby’s head. If anything goes wrong, it can be fatal or permanent disorder for baby. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Navel – Always clean with wet tissue and keep it dry. It might take a few days to fall off the remaining attachment on navel.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Powder – Always change diapers and use ant rash cream together with baby powder. Usually, if the baby cries, either hungry or pampers is wet or defecated.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Jaundice – 90% of the new born baby is likely having Jaundice or “Penyakit Kuning”. You can get Chinese medicine to bath your baby and within 4 days it is gone. Or, you can put your baby under early morning sun… once get heat, move him away. You can also go to any private hospital and put under heater and the charge is around RM20-50 per day only. You can feed your baby with goat’s milk too, around 2-3 spoon a day will help reduce Jaundice. If 1-2 ounce of fresh goats milk a day for 3-4 days will completely remove Jaundice as well.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Always clean your baby. At least once a day must bath him.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Feed every 3-4 hour once of 2-3 ounce of milk. Try to combine your servings with formulated milk, mother’s milk, cow’s milk and goat’s milk. The best recommended is breast milk and formulated milk.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Try to avoid giving sugar drinks or dextrose (most commonly known as “Glucose”)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;- Parent’s won’t have enough sleep at night.

Why Europeans are smart? During pregnancy they eat a lot of fish. Most of us don't have this chance because it is expensive or not fresh. Why not take this supplement to ease fish intake. You should also drink a lot of milk and water. The protein supplements should be higher too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my friend took this capsules and their baby look more alert and her eyes wide open. During pregnancy, we are not allowed to take any supplements or medications. But, this is specially for pregnant womens. I tried too, but I have started taking this supplement only on 4th month of pregnancy, because no one told me about it. My baby's also looks more alert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to NeurogainPB. You can get this capsules easily at any local pharmacy, not only the chain pharmacy but any will have this too. The price range is RM50-RM60 for one month supply. This is for your child's future, why not try?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prepare our child from womb for his battle against the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3894386538852498277-687782237429050449?l=motherita.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://motherita.blogspot.com/feeds/687782237429050449/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3894386538852498277&amp;postID=687782237429050449' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3894386538852498277/posts/default/687782237429050449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3894386538852498277/posts/default/687782237429050449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://motherita.blogspot.com/2007/10/neurogainpb-good-for-baby-brain-and.html' title='NeurogainPB Good For Baby Brain and Eyes'/><author><name>REENASHWINA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6GlR90bjDLc/SKUMFO1Y4hI/AAAAAAAAAW4/8uVm6TTmGLw/S220/80x100.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6GlR90bjDLc/RzYQI0vTSII/AAAAAAAAADo/saHJMM_9b1k/s72-c/babybrain.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894386538852498277.post-715365812182884224</id><published>2007-10-23T10:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T11:05:29.099-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I just gave birth to my first baby</title><content type='html'>As of today's date my baby boy is 3 days old.
