Healthy diet for the pregnant woman
A healthy diet during pregnancy must be balanced. Junk foods, fast foods canned fruits and vegetables must be avoided at all costs.
Proteins, fibre, minerals and vitamins are all highly essential. Grains, beans, lentils and nuts, selected dairy products and eggs and a wide variety of fresh fruits are important components of this diet. Cheese, yoghurt, skimmed milk and buttermilk are a good source of calcium, vitamins and essential amino acids.
Green vegetables and fresh fruits have high fibre content and also a good source of vitamins and minerals. A pregnant woman requires an additional 10 to 16 grams of protein intake which can be obtained from whole grains, cereals etc. or from meat, fish and poultry.
Sea fishes like the shark should be avoided as these contain mercury well above the safer levels. Raw sea foods, too much cheese and unpasteurised milk should also be avoided. Also to be avoided are alcohol intake, smoking and high caffeine intake as these have the potential of harming the baby and giving rise to babies with birth defects, mental disabilities, lower weight and miscarriage.
Folic acid, iron, zinc and vitamin B-12 are particularly important for the woman and her baby, although too high levels of these can have a toxic effect. The input of a diet expert is very important and should not be overlooked.

Caeserean Section
A caesarian section could be performed on a pregnant patient either by choice or out of necessity. Emergency caesarian is done during labor. However elective cesarean section is performed on the basis of an obstetrical or medical indication or at the request of the pregnant patient.
Elective cesarean section is also known as planned cesarean section and are performed for reasons including placenta previa, multiple pregnancy, history of previous cesarean section, abnormal presentation, known obstruction of labor etc.
There is a boom in cases of Elective cesarean section around the globe, a boom the UN health agency observes, is jeopardizing women’s health. In a report the agency observes that Elective cesarean section raised the risk of complications for the mother and that the practice had reached “epidemic proportion’ in many countries worldwide’. Indeed available statistics indicate that there is as high incidence of Elective cesarean section in some parts of the world as 50 per cent. The highest incidences are reported in Asia and are fueled by such factors as parents wanting to choose when their babies should be born out of superstitious reasons, fear of litigation within the medical fraternity and even because physicians and institutions may benefit by reducing night time and weekend work, that an inappropriate incentive exists to suggest elective surgery.Women undergoing C-sections that are not medically necessary are more likely to die or be admitted into intensive care units, require blood transfusions or encounter complications that lead to hysterectomies. Yet an increasing number of women request this procedure. The relative safety of the operation leads people to think it’s as safe as vaginal birth but this is unlikely to be the case.

Boy or girl? Choosing gender of your child
Some couples tend to have children of a particular gender every time. It is critical especially in societies where a particular gender is preferred in some circumstances over the other. In some African societies for example the birth of a baby boy is viewed favorably by the society for obvious reasons: that he will remain to guard and look after the community long after the girls have been taken away in marriage. It is so critical that a family without male children would search long and hard for that coveted boy!
In other families the desire to have a particular gender is all too evidently a desire of both parents. After having three boys in a row, a couple would try to get a girl and when another boy pops up it would seem to them as a battle lost!
Today though methods are available that would help parents determine the gender of their child before it is conceived. So important is gender selection that many are willing to go to any lengths to achieve it. They have endured unhealthy diets, taken drugs and hormones and a host of other trial and error guides sometimes with absolutely no success. As diligently as they have tried all these methods, so have others put in hours of research on this whole issue of gender selection. One such research identified only 3 easy to follow steps with a stunning 98% + success rate. What this means is that virtually every couple would be able to choose the gender of their baby by following the 3 easy steps……and not just a handful of them but a number exceeding 11,000! Imagine 11,000 success stories! Actual success in baby gender selection. Need to know more? Click Here!

THE DESIRE TO GET PREGNANT
Pregnancy has been an elusive issue to many women for as long as man cares to remember. Since the old Biblical days falling pregnant has been such an issue that it has accounted for tones of happiness and as much sorrow year after year.
Man has done extensive research in order to get to understand the whole process of procreation and so much has been uncovered that today is a much better time to conceive and give birth because of the improved awareness among the people and the preparedness of the medical fraternity and facilities to manage practically all aspects of child bearing.
Despite all such developments men and women are still desperate to get kids of their own and have searched practically everywhere possible for answers to help women fall pregnant. Pregnancy is so cherished that men and women have gone through so much medical, spiritual, superstitious intervention but have still ended up without anything to show for all the money, time and effort invested.

Available options to reverse infertility have included use of drugs, surgery and typical infertility treatment, among others. In many cases the results have been less than impressive, frustrating and down right negative.
Some people have gone ahead to research, put together their experiences, passions and intimate desires and they have come up with methods and processes that have rekindled the hopes of many women even past age 40 of ever being able to bear children.
One such woman tells of her desperate search that motivated her research into the whole idea of pregnancy. She tells of how she was able to fall pregnant – twice – and how many others who have followed her system have been able to get pregnant naturally without such things as expensive drugs, or going through nasty and expensive and painful procedures such as IVF or IUI to treat infertility.
