Which bra should I buy now that I am 23 weeks pregnant?

Howick Midwife
During pregnancy expect to increase about a cup size and a rib size, so from a 34A to 36B. The underwired bras can be uncomfortable in pregnancy while the breasts are tender. The soft-cup style are more comfortable and may have enough give to span two sizes. If you are buying bras for breast feeding it is important to shop for this during your last month when you will be close to the size you will be after your baby is born.

I'm 12 weeks pregnant. Should I go to the dentist?

Frequently Asked Questions for Pregnant Women?
Yes. It is recommended that pregnant women take special care of their teeth and gums during pregnancy and have their teeth cleaned and checked by a dentist at least once when pregnant. Tell the dentist you are pregnant. Your dentist and medical doctor can determine if any special procedures, other than routine cleaning, should be postponed until after pregnancy.

I am fifteen weeks pregnant and I have been advised not to sleep on my back. Why?

Howick Midwife
You can sleep on your back in early pregnancy or until you feel comfortable to do so. As the pregnancy advances you may experience a sense of faintness if you lie on your back. This is called supine hypotension. It is caused by the weight of your uterus and your baby pressing on the major blood vessels. This can be alleviated by the number of pillows you use. If you need to sleep on your side then the left side is best because it can help increase blood flow to the placenta.

What is 23?

Help
is simple and smart photo sharing for all of us. 23 is created and maintained by a small dedicated team of people. None of us are professional photographers, but we carry our digital cameras in our pocket more often than not. Digital photography has made a lot of things easier since the days of the celluloid film camera. Taking photos has never been so uncomplicated. A lot of the time, though, all these photos just pile up on our own computer.

When do I buy a nursing bra?

Leading Lady
Nursing bras should be purchased toward the end of your last trimester to insure the best possible fit. Most women prefer the adjustability of the three-step drop cup. Once accustomed to it, it's easy and convenient to use and assures a good fit for proper support and comfort as the breasts fill and empty during nursing. The drop-cup feature on nursing bras requires the use of some type of fastener to release the cup.

Why are you telling me I'm 4 weeks pregnant when I'm in my 5th week?

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a pretty confusing issue for a lot of pregnant women. The fact is when you're in your 5th week of pregnancy, you are 4 weeks pregnant! During the week you start your period, you are in your first week of pregnancy, but you have not yet completed any weeks so you are zero weeks pregnant. Think about it this way - you don't say that a baby is one year old during his first year of life do you? He is not considered to be one year old until he's actually in his second year.

Can I wear an underwire bra if I'm pregnant or nursing?

Leading Lady
Proper fit is the most important factor to consider whether you prefer underwire or softcup styling. Underwire styles currently account for about one-half of all the maternity/nursing bra sales.

I BUY A 36C BRA, BUT THE PATTERN FOR THE 36C DOESN'T FIT. HOW COME?

Bra-makers Supply .com, make bra,bra patterns,bra making sup...
It's called "Vanity Sizing" and it's a common practice in Women's RTW. Most women take Vanity sizing for granted when they buy pants and dresses, but are shocked to find it exists in bras, too! If I shop in one store, I can fit into size 10 pants, but when I shop in a different store, I'm taking a 12 or a 14. Usually the more expensive the store, the smaller size you can fit into, which means that the manufacturers are deliberately over sizing their clothing as a selling feature.

IF I START MAKING MY OWN BRAS, DOES THIS MEAN I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BRA?

Bra-makers Supply .com, make bra,bra patterns,bra making sup...
Maybe not! But before the stockholders at WonderBra and Victoria's Secret start trembling with fear at the thought, let me say that I still buy bras with features that I can't duplicate myself, such as a truly seamless cup. Also, I buy bras, when I'm away, so I can bring them back and clone them for myself and my classes.

Q I am 7 weeks pregnant. What vitamins should I take?

Southern California leading Midwife Frequently Asked Questio...
A I highly recommend a multiple vitamin without iron once a day with a meal; 2000 mg. calcium/500 mg. magnesium (taken together in a 2 to 1 ratio) on an empty stomach with vitamin C; and a complete B complex, also taken with vitamin C for absorption and with a meal.

I am 4 months pregnant but want to visit a malaria-risk country for 2 weeks. Is it safe to do so?

Frequently Asked Questions | CDC Malaria
CDC advises women who are pregnant or likely to become pregnant to not travel to areas with malaria risk, if possible. Malaria in pregnant women can be more severe than in women who are not pregnant. Malaria can increase the risk for serious pregnancy outcomes, including prematurity, miscarriage, and stillbirth. If travel to a malarious area cannot be postponed, use of an effective chemoprophylaxis regimen is essential. However, no preventive drugs are completely effective.

I am 9 weeks pregnant. Can I dye my hair during pregnancy?

Howick Midwife
There is no evidence to indicate with certainty that colouring your hair can be harmful to your baby. As major development is taking place in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy some women feel comfortable not to dye their hair till they are past twelve weeks. If you use semi permanent or permanent dye then make sure the room is well ventilated, that you wear gloves and not leave the dye on for too long. Henna is semi permanent and a good alternative as it is made from vegetable dye.

Why does the bra that I purchased just a few weeks ago no longer fit like it did when new?

Leading Lady
Proper laundering is essential. Some bras can contain as many as 30 different pieces in its construction. If the bra is not properly laundered, you may find that all the fabric parts have shrunk in different directions, which would dramatically affect the way the bra fits.

How many weeks should I study?

Genki Japanese and Culture School
Our courses of study can be taken for as many weeks as you like. Of course, to improve your Japanese, the longer you stay in Japan the better! We don't recommend stays of 1 week (as it is too short to really learn anything) and even two weeks doesn't give you much time to improve significantly. The average length of study with us is about 5 weeks, but your own length of study must depend on your goals, and of course your budget!
