Pregnancy calendar

In order to work out or keep track of your baby, pregnancy calendars can highlight signs, syptoms and help you to identify the period you are in.

Huge physical, hormonal and emotional changes will take place during your pregnancy - in a typical pregnancy, you will to adapt to carrying up to 20lb of baby, waters and placenta, which can impose physical strain on all the organs and tissues. With our pregnancy calendar, you can check out the signs & symptoms and figure out how far along you are.

Aches and pains are common during pregnancy, as the body changes shape. Ligaments soften to allow the bones of the pelvis to separate slightly, and postural changes can cause backache, neckache, headaches, aching legs and fatigue. These can effect the action of the diaphragm and make breathing difficult.

Keep up your normal activity or exercise - the more active you are, the easier it will be for you to adapt. It will also help you cope with labour, and get back in shape after the birth. A few tips to remember:

• Don't workout to exhaustion.
• Try to keep active on a daily basis.
• Take extra care in hot weather.
• Drink plenty of fluids.
