Motherhood is an exciting journey. There is so much to learn during this journey and at the same time there is so much to enjoy as well. A weekly pregnancy calendar can help you to understand the growth of your fetus and then your baby in a better way. If you maintain a weekly calendar you are able to record the important dates - when the morning sickness will arrive, the changes in your body and breasts, when you start feeling weary, when the baby should start kicking, what is your tentative due date, etc. In fact, instead of being anxious you can start enjoying every sign of pregnancy if you maintain a pregnancy journal.
Weekly Pregnancy Calendar
There are many sites, which offer a free weekly pregnancy calendar, which help you chart the growth of your baby, week by week. They also guide you about the nutritious food you should eat at every juncture of your pregnancy. They instruct on the body shaping exercises that you can take at this time. One site on the internet, Pregnancy.org, has divided pregnancy into trimesters. It guides you through all the important aspects of pregnancy. According to a Chinese calendar you can even predict the gender of your baby, if you calculate the date of delivery according to the calculation given there, using your age and the date of conception.
Weekly pregnancy calendar can be a revelation for the father of the baby. It entails all the travails experienced by the mother, during the nine months of pregnancy as well as records the week-by-week growth of the baby. After all, a pregnancy calendar is a chronological record of the growth of the fetus into a baby. Therefore, a pregnancy calendar helps in the calculation of the due date of the baby as well. Usually, the calculation starts from the last period of the mother and extends for the next forty weeks.
A few weeks after conception, the placenta begins to form, producing the necessary hormones. An internal examination at this stage, to check the thickening of the vaginal tissues and softening of the uterus confirm your early pregnancy symptom.
During the critical last weeks of the pregnancy when everybody is on tenterhooks with anxiety, if you are unsure of the delivery date, you may fall prey to a condition known as 'false labor', wherein, you experience false pains in the body and abdomen as when you actually deliver. These contractions can easily be mistaken for labor pains if you do not maintain a weekly pregnancy calendar.
In such a situation, the most important sign is the bursting of the amniotic sac, which releases the water in the uterus in which the baby floats. If your water bag bursts consult a certified physician immediately, to deliver the baby.

Birth control pregnancy?
By: Alesse | 24-08-2008
I started taking the birth control pill Alesse about 3 weeks ago. I had really bad reactions to it day two (can't get out of bed nausea!) but I kept taking it in hopes that things would settle down. Things were good for the last 2 1/2 weeks, but now that my period is due, I feel nausea, lower back pain, sensitivity to smells, really bad cramps, but no period! I'm thinking I might be pregnant as I did have sex 9 days after I started taking it. Do you think this is just my body reacting to the pills and the change in my menstrual cycle, or do you think it is a pregnancy?
