As if waiting for the birth of a baby isn't nerve-racking enough , now there's a new worry. Recent studies suggest that being stressed out during pregnancy isn't healthy for the baby. According to a report in the British Medical Journal, researchers studying 100 pregnant women found that those who were anxious had abnormal blood flow through uterine arteries and gave birth to smaller babies. This suggests that the psychological state of the mother may affect fetal development and birth weight. But one thing a new parent won't have to worry about is diaper rash.
Diaper rash is caused partly by wetness, which causes irritation, and abrasion of the baby's skin.
The diapers will cost about 50 percent more than regular disposable diapers. Chew sugarless gum to help fight tooth decay. Gum chewing stimulates saliva flow and reduces harmful acidity from bacteria in the mouth. It also helps squeeze saliva into the spaces between the teeth. To get the most benefit from gum, pop a stick into your mouth within five minutes after eating and chew it for at least 15 minutes.
