Question by Lianna: What are some tips to plan your pregnancy with irregular periods?
I am a student and I want to plan my pregnancy so that I deliver during vacation. What are some tips to do that; with irregular periods?
[If you will lecture me about how I should not plan when to get my baby; please save your breath].
Thanks a lot
Yes, school is college, graduate school.
Best answer:
Answer by Min72 First off, I’m hoping that school means college.
Well that is a difficult thing to plan for anyone, regular or not. You could start charting your cycles now to see if you can figure out what’s going on. If you are talking about being severly irregular it could be very difficult but if you are talking just a few days it may not be that bad.
Try fertilityfriend.com where you can chart your symptoms, tempeture and addition info to help figure out when you ovulate. Then you could do the math and figure out what months you would want to try.
Good luck.
BTW – I don’t think it’s bad to try to plan a pregnancy.

See SureBaby.com’s full series of pregnancy videos at www.surebaby.com Full Transcript: Hi, I’m Latham Thomas, prenatal wellness expert with www.SureBaby.com. So, you’re moving right along. You should feel better now and have more energy. Welcome to the second trimester. Today, we are going to focus on fitness and yoga during this stage of pregnancy. There are so many changes happening in your body right now. With increased blood volume, your heart is now pumping about 20% more blood than it did pre-pregnancy, your placenta is now fully formed and functioning and your ligaments in your abdomen are stretching to accommodate your growing uterus. You may feel fluttering inside, and that’s just the beginning! So to keep fit, agile and strong for the remainder of the pregnancy and for your labor and delivery, we are going to move through a choreography sequence to help to get the blood flowing. Regular exercise will help to keep you feeling great. You will want to stand on your yoga mat. Make sure your feet are about hip distance apart, or a little wider (to accomodate your growing belly). From here, inhale your arms up and over your head. As you exhale, bend your knees and sink your hips back behind you, then place your hands at about mid-thigh. Pull your chest forward as you breathe, inhaling. As you exhale, round and tuck. Chin to chest as you gaze towards your … Video Rating: 5 / 5
Prenatal expert Latham Thomas teaches you relaxation techniques and postures to relieve discomfort and get your body ready for delivery. See SureBaby.com’s full series of pregnancy videos at www.surebaby.com Full Transcript: Hi, I’m Latham Thomas, prenatal wellness expert with www.SureBaby.com and the founder of Tender Shoots Wellness. In today’s lifestyle segment, we are going to explore belly massage and another relaxation technique to get you through the third trimester. It’s best to have the belly massage right after you’ve emerged from the bath, while your pores are still open and your skin is really supple. You can use a non-mineral-based oil or cream to massage. Massage the belly in a clockwise motion, following the direction of your intestines. You will want to also make sure to apply oil or cream to the outer hips and lower back area, so we can prevent or decrease stretchmarks. It is a wonderful way to connect with your baby. These are the last few weeks that your belly will be this big and soon you will be holding your baby in your arms. Once you’ve lathered up, you can lie back in “reclined cobbler’s pose” to relax. Here’s what you need: a bolster stacked against two blocks. If you don’t have access to a bolster and blocks, you can also use a stack of blankets. Then, you’re going to come to sit at the edge of your blanket or bolster. Then you’re going to place your feet to the floor and just lie back against the bolster. So, your shoulders and neck are rested … Video Rating: 0 / 5

Latham Thomas walks you through a delicious smoothie recipe designed for your second trimester nutritional needs. See SureBaby.com’s full series of pregnancy videos at www.surebaby.com Full Transcript: Hi, I’m Latham Thomas, prenatal wellness expert with www.SureBaby.com. Today in our cooking segment, we’re going to whip up a tasty and nutritious smoothie. Moms-to-be are busy, so we’ve come up with some energy-packed recipes to help you get through the second trimester. And now, for our smoothie. Blueberries and acai are powerful antioxidants. Acai is rich with omega fatty acids, which are important for fetal development. A teaspoon of powerful, little chia seeds will help to boost your energy. It, too, is a complete protein. Banana, which is rich in potassium, will lend a creamier consistency to your smoothie. You can top it off with a little bit of granola to add some texture, maybe some crunch, to it. That old saying about eating for two is a misconception. If you eat the same amount that you ate pre-pregnancy and add a smoothie after breakfast and lunch, you’ll stay within the recommended guidelines and gain the extra pounds that you need. Think of your pregnancy as an opportunity to eat more healthy foods and save the more indulgent foods as a reward for eating better. If you have a craving for something unhealthy, it’s okay. But, just indulge only once or twice a week. The key is portion control. Top it with some granola, just for some extra crunch. Remember, the … Video Rating: 0 / 5

Eat Red Foods For Your Heart Dr. Willie T. Ong (Tips from Doctors Willie and Liza Ong of ABS-CBN’s Salamat Dok) Are you worried about your heart? Don’t feel blue. Go red, and eat red foods for your heart. This novel idea comes from the American Heart Association, which advocated that men and women eat red-colored foods to protect their hearts. 1. Red apples. Apples are rich in quercetins, a substance known to protect against Alzheimer’s disease and many cancers. Studies show that people who eat an apple a day have lower chances of getting lung cancer and Alzheimer’s disease when compared to non-fruit eaters. Even smokers who often eat apples can somehow minimize the risk of getting cancer. Apple skins contain pectin, which some studies show can lower bad cholesterol by as much as 16%. Apples may also prevent diabetes and childhood asthma. Eating the fiber-rich skin of the apple also has additional health benefits of having better skin, more regular bowel movement and lower risk for colon cancer. 2. Red watermelon. According to the US Department of Agriculture, watermelon may be beneficial for the heart and blood vessels. Researchers report that eating watermelons increases our body’s arginine levels, an important amino acid (Journal of Nutrition, March 2007). Arginine is a component needed to produce nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes the blood vessels, improves blood flow and may protect us from a heart attack and stroke. The deep-red watermelon variety contains the …
