The moment you get pregnant, your body experiences so many changes that you sometimes doubt whether the body you have is actually the body you knew. You simply cannot live the way you used to live before you became pregnant.

Here, I will look at the common ways in which women can effectively take care of themselves and their babies once they get pregnant.

Avoid using harsh chemicals on your skin. When pregnant, it is always advisable that you do things in moderation. The reason why beauty products work on your skin is that your skin absorbs them. Some of these chemicals may be harmful if they accumulate in the body. For this reason, it is advisable that when you get pregnant, take care of your skin by using mild cosmetics. Some harsh cosmetics have chemicals which when absorbed into the body, might damage the development of the child.  Read more...

Life in today’s fast forwarded world is full of stress and anxiety. There is a never-ending struggle to succeed (or more commonly to exceed the next door) and owing to this, it’s not very uncommon to ignore our health and looks; and while this is certainly understandable to some extent considering the diabolical amount of workload our lifestyle is imposing on us, we have got to ask ourselves sooner or later “How long are we going to be able to continue this?” or perhaps “How long will my body allow me to continue living like this?”. Now let us just take the issue of obesity in USA.

Now I don’t suppose you actually need me to tell you how serious the problem is; just take a look around. But perhaps there’s nothing like some statistical data on our hand to convince the omnipresent critics. So let’s have a look at the current trends in obesity in USA: “Today, 64% of all Americans weigh too much and over 30% are obese; in 1988 through 1992, fewer than 56% were overweight and fewer than 23% of American adults were obese.” Source: Exactly as written in “Calories Count – Report of the Working Group on Obesity” by the “U.S. Food and Drug Administration” and if that’s not enough, the statistics for children are even more shocking. Latest researches by the “U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” suggest that 15% of children and teenagers aged 6 to 19 are obese. This is more than double the obesity rates 2 decades ago.  Read more...

Post partum depression can occur after any delivery of pregnancy. This is also called peripartum depression. After the pregnancy, a woman experiences different hormonal changes in the body which can in turn trigger the symptoms of depression. A high amount of estrogen and progesterone remain in a patient’s body the first 24 to 48 hours after delivery. The levels of hormone drop off very quickly which in theory can lead to depression. Even just small changes in the hormones affect a woman’s mood.

Another factor that contributes to post partum depression is the decrease in the level of thyroid hormones after giving birth. The thyroid regulates the body’s metabolism. Low thyroid levels can cause symptoms of depression. A simple blood test can show that this is really the cause of a woman’s depression. If this is the cause, the doctor can prescribe thyroid medication.

Factors That Contribute to Post Partum Depression

Here are some factors that are determined to be the cause of post partum depression:

* The tired feeling after delivery followed by broken sleep patterns and not enough rest for new mothers. It takes a couple or more weeks for a new mother to regain all her strength.  Read more...
