Pregnancy | | | I'm just curious to know what everyones favourite pregnancy / parenting resources are?
It can be a book, CD, DVD, television show, website etc?
Please name the Item and state your reason why you found it the best out of everything you've researched and why it's helped either "your knowledge for planning" for pregnancy or "knowledge' for during pregnancy or just helped in any parenting skills in general.
Thank you.
| | A. | There are two books I have. One is What to Expect When Your Expecting. This is just an amazing book. It answers questions that are quite common for women and couples to have about symptoms you are having and has a lot of great advice in it. It guides you through the development of your child, what happens each month, diets to follow, and information just in case things go wrong.
My doctor actually gave us a book called "While Waiting". This is very informative. It takes you through the most common pregnancy symptoms and what happens with your developing baby and body and it shows what months those symptoms are most common to appear or reappear. It also tells you why you are feeling the way you are.
It's a great guide so that you know if something is normal or not before you become concerned. | | | |

| Q. | What do you think about teen pregnancy and parenting? | Related Search:
Parenting | | | I am a teen mother writing a paper for my college English class about the contriverasial issues of teen pregnancy and parenting. I understand that people have different point of views about the situation. If you could tell me if you agree or disagree and why that would be great.
| | A. | I have NOTHING against teen pregnancy and parenting because I am a teen mother. I had my first child one month and 9 days before I graduated from high school ( I didn't quit). There are people who look down their noses at us but I didn't let that get me down, even after I had a second child. It's extremely hard to raise children these days and it is even harder when you have to do it alone but my children are very smart children, I wouldn't trade them for ANYTHING in the whole world. Although it was and still is very hard I continued my education and got an Associate's. Now that I'm sure I can do it, I plan on going back to get a 4 yr degree or better so that I may better provide for my children. True, some people have something to say about teen pregnancy and teen parenting but I used my mistakes to better myself, but have you noticed that most of the people that have something to say have no children or aren't doing anything with the ones they have??? Good Luck on your paper, and keep ya head up!!! | | | |

| Q. | Where is the best place to advertise a parenting and pregnancy forum? | Related Search:
Search Engine Optimization | | | I have a new parenting and pregnancy forum that has been live since the 10th April ([Link] ) it is sponsored by another forum that is generating some traffic but I am not getting enough members actually registering, I have done lots of free submits google, yahoo - links on Myspace etc.
Where would you recommend the best place to advertise to get members registering and active? Thanks in advance
| | A. | Forums grow at a frustratingly slow rate, because they are by their very nature organic. It's also a saturated market - with Google groups, and so forth out there, it can be hard to get started.
1. Make the forum appear active. Yes, sometimes this requires a "rent a crowd" LOL... but you need all of your areas to have double or triple digit post counts.
2. Reply to posts fast. Whenever a post is made make sure you're "ON IT" and quick. Use RSS and other tools to help you increase your performance.
3. Relentlessly remove spam - and yes, it's frustrating as it can be. Put in lots of 'block' words on your forum settings to prevent any nastiness.
4. Bring in guest members who are professionals (e.g. an expert on post-partum depression, or an expert in meditation while pregnant.) They'll often answer questions for free for a week. Use your forums "message all" function to let everyone know they'e coming and ask them to "send a friend." -- you set up a special forum section for them right at the top.
5. Use low-cost pay-per-click or pay-per-1000 marketing. Especially when the expert is coming. Your ads can be set to very low cost levels. Your ad might appear (in Google)
Questions about Pregnancy?
This week - free Q&A with ideas
of how to make things go well!
...for example.
6. Ask other, complimentary forums or blogs to link to you. Set up a "thanks to the linkerarti" section where you give links back to those folks.
7. Give away banners to people who can send you regular traffic. Yes, give away. I know it hurts but later you can reap the rewards.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

| Q. | What are the best books on Pregnancy & Parenting? | Related Search:
Other - Pregnancy & Parenting | | | Friends have given me 2 books which are far better than any of the others I have looked at. They are "The Rough Guide to Pregnancy" and "The Best Friends' Guide to Pregnancy". I found them funny, readable and really truely useful. Are there any more out there just as good? I'm not interested in the biology as such, I want to know the really useful stuff like, "Can you breastfeed with pierced nipples?" or "Which baby socks actually really stay on (and where can I buy them)?
| | A. | The best baby socks come from Old Navy.
Yes.....you can breastfeed with pierced nipples.

As for good books, I'd recommend -
The Pregnancy Book by Dr. Sears
Your Pregnancy Week by Week by ?????
The Birth Partner by Simkin
Birthing From Within by England
Husband Coached Childbirth by Dr. Bradley
The Birth Book by Dr. Sears
Choosing Waterbirth by Lakshimi Bertram
So THAT'S What They're For by Janet Tamero
The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding by LLL
Your Baby & Young Child: Birth to Age 5 by the AAP
The Baby Book by Dr. Sears
The Discipline Book by Dr. Sears
Adventures in Gentle Discipline by Hilary Flower
I *HATED* the WTE series and the Girlfriend's Guide series.
Keep in mind that the GG series is written by a mom.....she's not any kind of expert, just another mom. So if you want doctors/experts opinions on stuff, it won't fill that need. It's like getting on here and talking to other moms on the computer. | | | |
