We (my husband and myself) are hoping to concieve.. What are some of your tips on getting pregnant?

Answer
If you or your husband smoke, you need to quit. Smoking can significantly reduce fertility for both men and women, and it can also lower conception rates for couples. Smoking can reduce sperm counts, as well as affect the quality of sperm in men. As for women, it can make conception harder. However, there is still hope for smokers. Research has shown that men, who gave up smoking, experienced an increase in sperm count of up to 800%.

It may be the best time to modify your lifestyle in such a way, that you can reduce stress. Stressors will always be part of our lives, and although the links between stress and fertility are not yet clear, more and more doctors believe it exists. There are studies that have shown that women were able to conceive, after they had therapies aimed at reducing stress.

There is also a need to examine your diet. Research has shown that a lack of nutrients is common, among individuals who are having fertility problems. In particular, the study found out that couples having fertility problems had a lower intake of foods, which are rich in antioxidants. It may also help if you take vitamin supplements. A daily dose of 100 mg of Vitamin C can increase sperm counts up to 140%. Likewise, Vitamin E and selenium have been found to improve sperm motility.

It may help if you consult your doctor regarding certain nutrients and plants, which have been found to boost fertility for both men and women. Discuss with your doctor which supplements you can use to aid conception. There are already supplements that contain a combination of essential nutrients and even herbs, which can increase conception.

Obesity may also hamper a coupleâs desire to conceive. Thus, efforts at weight reducing are recommended. For some women, even reducing their daily caloric intake may improve fertility. Even as little as 5% of weight loss for women with polycystic ovarian disease, may encourage ovulation and pregnancy. Women with this condition donât usually ovulate, and they may have excessive male hormones, as well as insulin resistance.

How can i get pregnant quick?

get pregnant quicker and easier image

sunshine

I'm trying to get pregnant & ive been trying since july & now its almost the end of the year I want to get pregnant as quick as possible but I feel like It can't happen to me what can I do ? Like quick & easy ? !? Thanks

Answer
Are you charting your cycles to see when you ovulate? Try 1 of those ovulation kits maybe? I've ALWAYS kept up with my cycle, even when I was a teenager so I've never used 1 of those kits but I hear they work well for a lot of people. Knowing when you ovulate will help you know the best days to have sex. If you've been trying for a full year, you might want to consider seeing a fertility specialist - you & your guy might wanna get checked out just to make sure you actually CAN get pregnant.

Is there anyway you can get an abortion without your parents knowing?

Kelley S

I know it sounds awful, but if you know my parents you would understand. I'm afraid I might have a chance of being pregnant and I'm 16. I heard there are abortion clinics you can go to and get a quick easy operation for 200 dollars in some places. But can you do it like anonamously? Or do my parents need to sign something? I know abortion is wrong but idk what else to do. Helpp

Answer
It depends on where you live. But everywhere except New York, New Jersey, and California require at least one parent's consent to it. Plus you need to give medical information. It would be best to just tell your parents because if something goes wrong, and your parents didn't know you got an abortion, then they will treat it as like a normal cold or stomach virus when you could have something serious happening.

"Water for Babies

When is it appropriate to give your baby water?

Your baby just finished nursing, but now she's sucking on her hands. When you pick her up, she starts to nuzzle into your arms. She can't possibly be hungry again, can she? What does she want? "Maybe she's thirsty," your mother says. "It's pretty warm out, after all. Give her some water."

Do babies need water to drink? A 1997 study at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta found that about 25 percent of new mothers gave their babies water at least three times per week in the first month of life. The researchers felt this was a significant problem.

As Toronto lactation consultant Anne Kirkham explains, "Giving water to young babies can make some undesirable things happen and can suppress other good things."

For example, in the first days after birth, drinking water has been found to increase the severity of newborn jaundice. "Babies who are breastfeeding well don't have much problem with jaundice," says Kirkham, "but those who are given water as well will become more jaundiced, and this makes them sleepy and lethargic."

Giving water in the early weeks can also interfere with breastfeeding. The infant who has a tummy full of water will drink less milk at his feedings, and his mother's breasts will decrease milk production in response. The result: The baby gets less milk, and may not grow as well. One study in Australia found that newborns who were given water with sugar after each feeding at the breast lost more weight than babies who were breastfed exclusively. In addition, if the water is given in a bottle, the baby's sucking technique may become confused.

"It's common for babies to have periods of cluster feedings when they feed frequently for a few hours," Kirkham adds. "But because parents don't expect this, they worry that the baby is unsatisfied and wants something else, so they give the baby a drink of water."

While decreased milk production isn't a concern with babies who are fed formula, water is not good for those babies either, since it will reduce their intake of formula. Too much water can even be dangerous: In rare cases, infants have died from water intoxication, and others have developed seizures or hypothermia. Almost all of these babies were bottle-fed.

But what if it's really hot outside? Do babies need water then? Some physicians, such as Danielle Grenier of the Canadian Paediatric Society, say it's OK to add water to formula during very hot and humid weather only if your baby is dehydrated or running a fever. (The water should be boiled if the baby is under six months.)

Research shows that babies don't normally need extra water. A 1978 Jamaican study of exclusively breastfed babies found no signs of dehydration in temperatures averaging 27.6 degrees C. In 1990, the same researcher studied babies in India, where the temperature ranged between 35 and 40 degrees C. Again, the exclusively breastfed babies showed no signs of dehydration and needed no extra water.

"In the summer, when the baby might be a little more thirsty, the milk will be slightly more watery. In the winter, babies receive more creamy milk," Kirkham explains. Of course, nursing mothers should be prepared to drink extra water during hot weather. (The standard advice is "drink to thirst," because if you drink too much, you may decrease your milk supply.)

So when is it appropriate to give your healthy baby water? Kirkham suggests that around seven months, when your baby is sitting up well and has started eating solid foods, you could introduce a little water in a cup.

"A cup is a better choice than a bottle," she adds. "Nature has designed babies to have a strong sucking drive to make sure they eat well. Their bodies expect the stuff they suck to be high in nutrition and full of all the calories and vitamins they get from breastmilk [or formula], and if they drink water from a bottle they could take in too much water."

Once your older baby is beginning to drink from a cup, water is usually a better choice than juice. It's the best drink for satisfying thirst, and doesn't have all the sugar that fruit juices do. But until your baby's diet includes a variety of foods, she will get all the water she needs from breastmilk or formula.
