Trying To Conceive

29 Tips To Increase Your Chances of Conceiving

💡
The author of the What To Expect series, Heidi Murkoff, asks in her book What To Expect Before You’re Expecting, is pregnancy long enough? According to her book, "More researchers and experts agree that nine months [or 40 weeks depending on how you count] is not enough time to be pregnant. They recommend 3 months be added to pregnancy." Murkoff explains, “Those extra months aren’t meant to be pregnant, but getting ready to be pregnant. The truth is a healthy pregnancy begins before sperm and egg meet” (Murkoff).

    Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

      My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad.
