At one time, a baby shower was a simple get together usually thrown by the expectant grandmother or other women in the community for a pregnant mom, where everyone would bring a simple gift, and sit around and reminisce of old times while the mom opened her presents. If there was food prepared great, if there were games to play great, but these were not expected, and were actually the exception rather than the rule. For some reason, today when we give someone a baby shower, we feel as though it ... more...

Or can I make do with ordinary ones?" There is also the question of expense, since specially designed clothes for any occasion cost more than ordinary casual clothes. And if the dress is only for one-time wear, then you feel even more apprehensive! True, this argument may hold true fo... more...

Do you believe in prenatal memory? Some people think that children do not have prenatal memory. I am puzzled about it initially. I started to read books written by Dr. Makoto Shichida and checked with my children about this topic. Those of you not familiar with the latest study on prenatal memory now have at least a basic understanding. But there is more to come.

A survey revealed that around 13% of pregnant women went without medical care during those difficult months as they could not afford maternity insurance. Also, pregnancy did not form a part of many health insurance policies. Sometimes, care was available only during the second trimester or third trimester.
