Pregnancy Clinic
Did your pregnancy dreams include visions of a neat rounded belly, and little kicks that made your heart flutter? While it's true that pregnancy has its share of wonderful moments and experiences to cherish, it also has a raft of less than fabulous pregnancy symptoms - including many you'd rather not discuss in public and many you'd probably like to forget (which you will, by the way, since forgetfulness is another symptom).
There are pregnancy symptoms you expected (like morning sickness – which also arrives in the evening) and symptoms you almost definitely didn't (like constipation, nosebleeds and bleeding gums). It's probably reassuring to know that you're not alone suffering these ailments - you're actually joining millions of other expectant women who are also wading their way through a different selection of pregnancy complaints. But it also helps to have some tried and true remedies at your (swollen) fingertips that will allow you to navigate around the majority of pregnancy grumbles.

Announcing the birth
When you have given birth you can’t wait to tell the world. However, all of a sudden those plans you made in the calm days of late pregnancy tend to go out of the window as the chaos of a new baby descends. Whether you enlist the help of the proud grandmother to get writing all those new baby cards for you, or you set aside just a little me-time when visitors are on hand to help you out, choosing the right way to make your baby announcement is one of those little pleasures that might almost compensate for the sleepless nights.
