Pregnancy Websites

Feb 22nd, 2008 by Marie

Being “with child” as I am (5 months) I will often visit a few of my favorite pregnancy websites and see what this thing inside me looks like, what it’s doing, and why I am now experiencing the dreaded heart burn. I go through at least half a bottle each day!! Luckily, I remember that with both my other pregnancies, the heart burn stopped the day I delivered. But then a whole host of other fun stuff takes its place!!!

Great Pregnancy Websites:

The StorkNet - Great week by week accounts of baby’s development, changes with me the mommy, and ideas for Dad to get involved.

WebMD - Info on Baby’s development and articles and facts about health concerns and tips.

Baby Center - I have signed up for a newsletter with Baby Center that tracks my weeks and what my baby is up to. They also have great articles about after your baby is born and when he/she grows up.

What other great sites should I be visiting?

I just wanted to say “thank you” for the cute scarf and cards. The pay it forward thing was fun….I still have one more to do….your package arriving has rededicated me to getting it done! Thanks for all of your cute ideas!

How about Parent Hacks? It’s not necessarily geared just for pregnancy but it’s fun.

And have you ever seen this fun little tool?

I totally remember those TUMS days. They never worked much for me. What did was to eat a small shaving of fresh ginger. You can also make a strong tea with it if you’d rather.

Oh my goodness, I remember the dreaded heartburn so well from my two and it was awful, awful. I hope it doesn’t give you too much discomfort.

Oh….heartburn. One of my fellow pregnant friends told me that the only thing that works is Prilosec OTC–at $12 a box. Yikes. I’ll resort to that soon, I’m afraid.

I love to go to http://www.whattoexpect.com. Has pictures and daily e-mails, if you choose. I only have 6 weeks left of heartburn. Good luck!

Kendra and Christy - You are welcome and I loved being part of Pay it Forward!

Jennifer and Lindsey - Thanks for the Heartburn tips. I have also used Papaya for it in the past and I may need to get to a health food store and pick some more up.

Melissa - thanks for your kind words. When I have heartburn, I really feel for people who have it full time, not just during pregnancy!

Joanne and Bonnie - Great prego websites. Thanks for the input.

I liked Babes in Blogland when I was pregnant. I was able to find other pregnant moms who were due when I was. http://www.babyblogorama.net

The mom who runs it has an outside-the-home job now in addition to her full-time mommy work, so she can’t keep it as up to date as she used to, but it’s still really great.

Maroo, I just started the heartburn a week or so ago. Way later than last time. Sorry you are in that stage. Yuck! I hate it, too. I’ve stopped eating after 4pm. I eat a late lunch, and don’t really eat again. If I do, I am sorry. The Tums hardly help so I am desperate enough not to eat. I am not hungry, baby is filling my tummy too much.
