    How To Get Pregnant

    By Jacaranda On March 11, 2010 1 Comment

    Many couples are asking ‘how to get pregnant?’ Although this question may seem so easy to answer and every one knows how to get pregnant, or how to make baby for that matter, but still many couples are having a hard time conceiving their first baby.

    This is sad.

    As a parent, I am very fortunate to know the joy of knowing that there are little people that came from you. It’s hard to explain the feeling that these little men (that’s in my case, I have 2 boys) will soon become their own individual self and will become part of the social community.

    I am very thankful that God blessed us with these two wonderful boys. And now I pray for those want to be parents for them to have their own child. Because having them truly is fulfilling.

    Are you struggling to get pregnant? Are you frustrated, or feeling angry for not being able to conceive despite all your efforts ? If you answered yes, then let me tell you that I know exactly how you feel, because I personally had gone through the same experience years ago. I have battled with my so called infertility for more than a decade until I have finally found a cure, got pregnant twice and now am a proud mother of two beautiful healthy children.

    That is a quote that I took from someone who is selling an electronic book that promises couples that they will become pregnant. I cannot contest and say that this is true but I still want to share it to you in case you’re interested. Check out her book on “How To Get Pregnant”.

    My name is Lisa Olson and over the past 14 years, through a long process of trial, error and experimentation, I have developed a sure-fire, 100% guaranteed, clinically researched system that is backed by 60,000+ hours of nutritional expertise and Chinese medicine research for getting pregnant quickly and naturally. This is a very rare, highly unique and potently powerful Infertility healing system, which very few women even know exists…

    How To Get Pregnant?

    Most couples think they know how to get pregnant. Well, speaking for myself, I thought it was easy. But like I said before not all couples will meet this challenge with success. Infertility not that uncommon and we have statistics to prove that infertility affects one in every six couples. The information on this post will try to help infertile couples become pregnant quickly and naturally.

    • Start taking folic acid now. You reduce your chances of giving birth to a baby with a neural tube defect (for example, anencephaly or spina bifida) by 50% to 70% if you start taking at least 0.4 mg of folic acid each day two to three months before you start trying to conceive.
    • Make love often during your fertile period (the five days leading up to ovulation). If you’ve got the stamina to make love at least every 48 hours, you will ensure that there’s a fresh shipment of sperm waiting in the fallopian tube at any given time. Of course, you can get too much of a good thing if your partner has a low sperm count, so if you’re aware of a pre-existing fertility problem, you’ll want to talk this issue over with your fertility specialist.

    Happiness of Being a Mother

    By Jacaranda On November 29, 2009 No Comments

    There is no question about it; true happiness of a woman begins when she becomes a Mother. It is when you’ll feel miracle that there is a little creature in your womb waiting for his time to see the world…magical it may seem. But once you held the baby in your arms a feeling of excitement, joy and fulfillment is there.

    You look at your baby from head to toe, checking if everything is OK with him, if it is possible to count the hair on his head you would. You will check his fingers, his toes, his face and when you found out that everything’s fine tears will fall from your eyes…AT LAST! After all the pains and sufferings, you will say…IT IS ALL WORTH IT!

    A Mother will always have a special bond with their child; it is a link that can never be broken. As time pass by, you will always be there to watch your child grow, from the first step, first food he eats, and when you hear the first word he utter it sounded like music, it seems like an angel whispered to your ears. And afterward it’s time to bring your child to school, 1st day of school is a nerve racking experience for a 1st time MOM, as much as possible you wanted to stay and to wait for your son, checking on him if his doing alright. You’ll guide him on his assignments, and school projects, you will review him on his 1st examination, you’ll notice your child was not that serious about it, you’ll have doubts, fears, questioning yourself did he get what I just told him…

    EXAMINATION DAY arrives, the mother is the one who is so nervous about it, the child arrives home you will ask him “so what happened, was it easy?” “Did you answer everything”, but the only answer you will get from your child was a smile on his face.

    End of school year is drawing near and as a Mother you would like to know what are your child’s achievements or are there any areas that needs improvement…there is always a parent-teacher meeting at school and from there they will tell you the performance of your child and once you have known that your son is a part of the TOP STUDENTS in his class… an unexplained feeling will embrace you, you wanted to cry, and at the same time you wanted to scream and tell the whole world that my son is in the Honors list. I’m a 1st time MOM myself and happiness of being a MOTHER is endless…trust me it never end.

    Low Blood Pressure During Pregnancy

    By Jacaranda On November 17, 2009 No Comments

    Low Blood Pressure During Pregnancy… Once upon a time, my wife and myself went to the hospital, to her OB Gyne for her scheduled checkup. That’s when I found out that pregnant really do experience low blood pressure.

    This was more than 4 years ago when she was carrying our first son, Matthew. That’s the time also that I wrote my experience about it in my Father and Son blog. Imagine that, it has been four years already! I really believe now that internet can most definitely preserve memories.

    And now, I would like to do a re-post of that same blog article here for those who are still searching for the information about low blood pressure during pregnancy…. And I know that not only those carrying a child are looking for this info, but also to the first time fathers like myself 4 years ago.

    By Jacaranda On June 10, 2009 1 Comment

    Maternal Mirror Syndrome: A Rare and Dangerous Disorder… that’s the first article you’ll see when you try and search for the “mirror syndrom in Pregnancy”. Well, at least upon writing this one that’s the first.

    Why did I search Mirror Syndrome? Well, there’s Dr. Gregory House (of House MD) to blame. I am currently doing the House season 3 marathon and one of the episode (episode 16?) is about this photographer who has thsi mirror syndrome. Her kidney is failing.

    Here’s what I read:
