Pregnancy Websites

Do you have questions about being pregnant and your soon-to-be-born baby? Use the
following websites about pregnancy and newborns to answer your many questions.

pregnancy calendar. Find out even more with expert articles about pregnancy symptoms, pregnancy
pictures of fetal growth, pregnancy quizzes and more on these pregnancy websites.

Physical Development
Your newborn may come home with puffy eyelids and swollen breasts. Not to worry: The first is
caused by fluid she's retaining to tide herself over until feeding is established, and the second comes
from your hormones, which were passed to her before birth. Get more helpful information from this
pregnancy website.

Social Development
Don't expect to play peekaboo just yet: During the first week, your baby will sleep at least 12 hours
a day, up to four or five hours at a stretch. Quiet and active stages of sleep alternate every 30 minutes
or so.

Intellectual Development
Newborns spend about 10 percent of their time in a "quiet alert" state--calm and attentive, with their eyes
open. The quiet alert stage is a good time to let baby get to know you. Hold her and let her study your
features at close range--infants can only see objects 12-15 inches away.
