You'll be able to locate your uterus more easily if you are flat on your back. You can lie on your bed, sofa, or wherever you feel comfortable. Take a few deep breaths to help yourself relax. Doctors generally advise pregnant women not to spend much time on their backs, because the weight of the uterus can compress a major nerve. This could disturb the blood flow to you and your baby. Only stay in this position for a few minutes. You could also relieve pressure by using a pillow to prop one side of your body up. Finding your pubic bones can help you get a sense of where you'll feel your uterus. Your pubic bones are directly above your pubic hair line. These are the bones you will feel when you are feeling your belly to find your uterus. A general guideline is that your uterus should be between your pubic bones or slightly above that area. Your navel is commonly referred to as your belly button. Before you are 20 weeks, your uterus will be located beneath your navel. Place your hands on your belly right below the navel. The first day of your last menstrual period is considered the start of your pregnancy. You can count from that date to figure out how far along you are.

Place your hands on your abdomen just above your belly button. During your third trimester, your uterus will be the size of the watermelon, so you will have no trouble feeling it. Begin moving your fingertips slowly and carefully around your abdomen. Your uterus will feel round and a little firm. You can press your fingers to the top of the uterus, which is called the fundus. You and your doctor can measure your uterus to determine how many weeks pregnant you are. Using centimeters, measure the distance between your pubic bone and the top of your uterus. The number should correspond to how many weeks pregnant you are. For example, if the distance is 22 centimeters (8.7in), you are likely 22 weeks along. If the numbers don't seem to be matching up, this may indicate that your original due date was inaccurate.

While it's tempting to go for the cheap stuff, this is not the best choice for your dog. Look for foods that incorporate high-quality proteins from fish, chicken, lamb, beef, and/or eggs. Talk to your veterinarian about diet choices. If you plan to change his food, do so gradually to reduce the chance of an upset stomach. Give him small amounts of food formulated for puppies several times a day. The amount of food for each meal depends on the breed and size; look up the recommended amounts for your breed. Feed your puppy only the smallest amount recommended for his breed, age, and size. Increase the amount if the puppy seems too thin, or as directed by your veterinarian. The number of daily feedings depends on the puppy's age: six 12 weeks: three to four times daily 12 20 weeks: three times daily 20+ weeks: two times daily Very small breeds (Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, etc.) may be prone to low blood sugar. These puppies often need access to food all day long (or every two to three hours) until about 6 months of age. This prevents their blood sugar from dipping too low, which can lead to weakness, confusion, and even seizures. Meal feeding will help with housebreaking and prevent your dog from gorging on food. Furthermore, your puppy will bond with you by associating good things like food with the humans in the household. The puppy should have a limited time, probably 20 minutes, to finish its food. Watching your puppy eat is a good way to gauge his health. If he seems uninterested in his food all of a sudden, take note of it. The behavior may be due to a simple food preference issue, but it could also be a medical concern. It's your job to notice any change in his behavior. Follow through with a call to your veterinarian, and take the proper steps to uncover the cause of the change. It may be tempting, but remember that human food can make your dog unhealthily obese. Alongside the serious health risk, feeding your dogs table scraps can train them to beg one of the hardest habits to break. To ensure good health, feed your dog food specifically designed for him. Ignore him completely while you're eating at the table. Check with your veterinarian about "people" foods that are safe for dogs. These might include roasted chicken breast or fresh green beans. Foods high in fats can cause problems like pancreatitis in dogs. Your puppy's body is very different from yours. Some of the foods you are able to digest are dangerously toxic to him.

A partial list of foods of such foods includes: Raisins Grapes Xylitol (a sweetener) Tea Alcohol Garlic Onions Avocados Salt Chocolate Unlike food, you should leave a full bowl of fresh water out for your pets at all times. Be aware that your puppy will have to urinate shortly after drinking a large amount of water. Take him to your fenced backyard on a leash so he doesn't have accidents in your house.

Rollers should be left in your hair for around 10 hours so a good time to have them in is while you sleep. Since you will need to wash your hair before putting in the rollers, it also makes sense to do this at night. It is best to put in the curlers when your hair is damp so that the curls last longer. Additionally, the hair will be easier to work with if it is damp. Let your hair air dry rather than using a towel. Using a towel will make your hair difficult to put into rollers. Only use water when washing your hair before a curling. Combing your hair can help straighten it out so that the rollers will be more effective. Refer to this article about combing for more information. Continue combing until the comb does not catch any knots. It is best to use a spray as a cream can leave white flakes behind in your hair. Let the spray sit in your damp, combed hair for around 3-5 minutes before putting in the rollers. Divide your hair into equal 1-inch wide sections. Roll each of these sections into the roller so that your hair looks uniformly curly after the rollers are removed. Continue putting in the rollers until all of your hair is rolled up. If you do not have naturally curly hair, hairspray is the key to ensuring your curls will last a long time. Do not use much more than three sprays since too much hairspray can be damaging to your hair and the environment. Remove the rollers slowly so that your hair does not snag. Instead of pulling the rollers, roll them out. Reverse the process of putting them in. Apply even more hairspray to ensure that your curls last for a long time.
