Dealing with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy

Dealing with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Not every woman suffers from nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Morning sickness is cause from HCG (human chorionic gonodotropin) hormone. The same hormone that makes your home pregnancy test change colors.

Buy Smart - safe and enjoy the same time

You do not need to buy everything right away. Items such as highchairs and full-size cots can be left until later. Babies need clothes and nappies, place to sleep and some sort of a transport and of course food. If you cover these basic requirements you are ok. I know that a new mum is eager to buy stuff but wait till the baby come because some babies don’t like to use the stuff you buy. Try to buy the necessity for the rest you will have plenty of time ones you know your baby.

• Clothing – 4-5 full outfits should be enough to start with.


• Diapers - you have a choice between disposable and reusable. If you choose the latter, you'll need at least 12 and perhaps even 24. Babies get through six to eight nappies a day in the early weeks.


• Pram or pushchair.


• Car safety seat - many of these double as carriers. I got from Bimbo market over the internet: pram, pushchair and car seat 3 in 1. Price was great 320 Euro and the quality perfect very easy system for me and for the baby.


• Somewhere to sleep - a crib, cot or pram top, plus bedding (but not pillows, as they're not safe until your baby's one year old).


• Feeding equipment - if you're bottle-feeding you'll need bottles, formula and sterilizing equipment. If you're breastfeeding and plan to express milk, you'll need bottles and teats, and a breast pump if you're not doing it by hand.

These are mainly most of the necessary things you need to have for your baby.
You may wish to get some extras that will probably make your life easier.

• Baby carrier or sling - this allows you to carry your baby and keep your hands free.


• Baby bath - washing-up bowl at the very beginning.


• Toys - although not really necessary at first, they're nice for you and your baby to enjoy together.


• Changing gear - you might want a changing mat or baby dresser with a changing top.

Saving your baby’s stem cells

Stem cells, which are present in the blood, have proved very successful in treating many diseases. Cord blood is blood left in the umbilical cord and placenta after the baby is born. In the past we used to throw them away after delivery. Now stem cells are used to treat cancer, genetic diseases, leukemia, some immune and blood diseases.
Cord blood contains the same valuable cells that are found in bone marrow. They build the blood and the immune systems. Inside the cord blood these cells are still undeveloped and because of that they don’t need to match as closely for a transplant as bone-marrow blood does.

Before your baby’s birth, you may request that the baby’s cord blood be collected and banked for future use. Latter the blood could be used by your child, siblings or parents. Immediately after delivery the blood is collected from the umbilical cord. The procedure is absolutely painless for mother and child. The blood is collected after the umbilical cord is detached from you and the baby.

After collected the blood is transported to a banking facility where it is frozen and cryogenically stored. Usually storing cost is around 1500$ -initial fee and then every year fee of 100 $ - for storage, but prices may vary depend on the facility. Blood storage is not covered by insurance. I believe in the near future this will change because the most precious gift that you can give your baby is his chances of surviving diseases that until now has no cure for.

I know that is it extra expense coming in time where you have many but this is a very important expense. Give you baby a safe start.

But if you decided not to safe the baby’s cord blood, think about donating it. A nonprofit bank can match it with someone who needs it.
