    There are plenty of decisions to consider during pregnancy. Opting for prenatal testing, selecting a doctor for your baby, and deciding who will be present during your baby's birth are among the more challenging decisions you'll need to make. But where you choose to give birth - whether in a hospital or in a birth center setting - is one of the most important decisions you'll make before delivery.

Birth Defects - 0 views

  •  
    Many parents assume that all birth defects are severe or even fatal, but the fact is that many are treatable, often immediately after birth - and sometimes even before the baby is born. It's especially important to know the risk factors involved and what you can do to prevent birth defects. However, it's also important to realize that most children born with congenital defects are born to two healthy parents.

Babies and Whooping Cough - 0 views

  • Babies and Whooping Cough
  •  
    Whooping cough (say: hoop-ing kof) - also called pertussis (say: pur-tuh-sus) - is one of those illnesses. It's a bacterial infection of the respiratory system, which includes your lungs and breathing tubes. Whooping cough got its name because kids who had it would cough a lot, and in between coughs, they'd make a "whoop" sound when they tried to get a breath.

  • Baby refuses to breastfeed
  •  
    What is it?
    A baby who refuses to breastfeed, and is not in the process of being weaned, is said to be on a "nursing strike." A nursing strike is your baby's way of telling you that something's wrong. And it'll probably take a little detective work to figure out the problem.
    What causes it?
    According to the La Leche League International, some of the most common reasons for a nursing strike include:

    WHY MASSAGE
    Besides the fact that it is just plain fun to touch your baby, infant massage helps babies grow and develop better. Other cultures highly value touch to help babies grow. In some Eastern societies a mother is reprimanded if she doesn't give her baby a daily massage. One of the most exciting areas of research is the connection between touch and growth. Touched babies thrive, and here's why.

Are Ultrasound "Snapshots" of Your Unborn Baby safe? - 0 views

  • Are Ultrasound “Snapshots” of Your Unborn Baby safe?
  •  
    For many expectant parents, ultrasounds offer a window into the world of their growing unborn baby. Unlike most standard prenatal tests that involve nothing more than a urine cup or a needle, ultrasounds present the opportunity to get a sneak preview of what's to come and to actually see what's going on inside - if the heart is beating normally or if the baby registry should contain pink or blue items.

Apnea of Prematurity - 0 views

  • Apnea of Prematurity
  •  
    Once a baby is born, he or she needs to breathe continuously to get oxygen. In a premature baby, the part of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) that controls breathing is not yet mature enough to allow nonstop breathing. This causes large bursts of breath followed by periods of shallow breathing or stopped breathing. The medical term for this condition is apnea of prematurity, or AOP.

However, with children, such feelings are not only normal, they're also necessary. Experiencing and dealing with anxieties can prepare young people to handle the unsettling experiences and challenging situations of life.v
