Tips on Getting Pregnant and General Health
Parenting is an exciting journey. We all start out knowing - well - not very much - and daily we gather snippets of news, advice and support from family and friends around us.
But each stage of parenting is fairly exclusive, and once you're over one stage, there isn't much time to look back, as several new challenges appear on the horizon. There are bound to be worries and concerns as you experience a host of new feelings and emotions.
The Baby Directory is very pro-choice, and we try very hard not to be too bossy about which way you decide to parent. We just know there is so much information to get one's head around, and that having it all in one place, makes life easier and more enjoyable.
Pregnancy
Choosing an independent midwife In most cases, a midwife will guide a woman through almost all of her pregnancy, birth and early days as a new mother. Once a GP has confirmed a woman is pregnant and it has been agreed where she plans to give birth, she is referred to a team of midwives who usually work at and in partnership with one particular hospital or clinic. From early urine and blood tests to the regular routine check-ups later in pregnancy, the midwife usually oversees the health and wellbeing of the mother-to-be and her baby.
