If you're pregnant, you're very likely concerned about the amount of weight you're gaining, the effect it has on your body, even how difficult it will be to take off after your pregnancy. Your OB/GYN or midwife is your best source of advice about healthy weight gain during pregnancy, but there are general guidelines. Depending on your weight at the start of your pregnancy, your doctor may tell you that a healthy weight gain for you is anywhere between 15 and 40 pounds. If you're underweight to start (a BMI of less than 18.5), 25 to 40 pounds is a reasonable weight gain during pregnancy. If you're overweight, he or she may suggest you stick closer to 15 to 25 pounds. Of that weight, 6 to 8 pounds of it is the baby. The rest is amniotic fluid, extra tissue and blood to nourish the baby (including the placenta), and the increased size of your breasts and placenta. You'll lose as much as 15 pounds of it WITH the birth (amniotic fluid, placenta and baby). Any doctor will tell you that pregnancy is NOT the time to go on a diet. Your body AND your baby need the nutrients of an adequate, balanced diet to keep you both healthy. This doesn't...more

There is a lot of pressure when it comes to trying to get pregnant, especially when a couple have been trying for about a year or two and have not succeeded in conceiving the kid they want so badly. The pressure doses nothing but mounts over time. However, it has been proven time and again that having a lot of pressure or stress about you not being able to get pregnant can adversely affect your chances of actually getting pregnant!If you are trying to get pregnant, my best advice to you would be that you try to relax and not stress about it too much. I know after 1, 2, or 3 years of trying but failing to conceive, this becomes much easier said than done, however just do whatever you can so that you don't think about the fact that you are struggling but failing to conceive the baby of your dreams. Focus on your relationship as a couple, instead of the idea of trying to get a kid.For me, we were planning our wedding and decided that we'd be fine with getting pregnant whenever it happened. I'd been on the pill for a while and we decided I'd stop taking them, but we wouldn't say we were actually "trying" because it would put pressure on us. I was...more
