Put Your Newborn's Picture On The Cover Of A Baby Magazine!

Did you know that you can put your baby on the cover of practically any baby magazine in the world?

Well, you can. Let's use this Parenting baby magazine cover as an example. The nice thing is you don't have to download anything to your computer. Everything is done online which, for me, is the ultimate plus!

Here are the details for specifically how to do it: 

• Upload a photo.
• Increase or decrease the size of the photo and change the photo orientation.
• Add the title and subtitles.
• Download your baby magazine cover.

The American Baby cover maker is another similar example.

Of course, you could spend $28 to have a baby magazine cover made at Walmart (or $13 to $20 to have it made somewhere else), but why would you want to when you can do it yourself online ...for FREE?!

Cord Blood Banking: The Pros & Cons

If you're pregnant, then chances are you've thought about cord blood banking.

There are a number of pros, as well as cons, when it comes to banking your baby's umbilical cord blood.

Here are a few of the reasons to consider cord blood banking:

• Your baby's siblings or other family members could use the cord blood if they developed a disease where stem cells could help -- such as with leukemia. So If there is a history of diseases like leukemia in your family, then you may want to consider cord blood banking.
• Your baby's cord blood could help someone who is a minority. (This is especially true if you bank the cord blood at a public bank.) Minorities only have a 58% chance of finding a match, as opposed to an 88% chance for a non-minority.
• Taking cord blood is not as involved as doing a bone marrow transplant. This can definitely be an advantage for someone who needs treatment right away.

Many Possible Signs Of Pregnancy Explained

So how do you know if you're pregnant?

These days, knowing what the possible signs of pregnancy are may not be enough.

Some women continue to menstruate even when they are pregnant.

Other women, because they don't have regular periods anyway, simply will not assume if their period stops that they are pregnant.

A few possible signs of pregnancy are:

• Breasts that are more tender than normal. Many women say that their breasts become tender to the point of being very painful even from the touch of clothing.
• Any change in your appetite pattern. This can be anything from feeling totally ravenous all the time, to not wanting to eat anything at all.
• You're totally exhausted all the time, more so than ever before. Many women report being so tired they sometimes fall asleep at work in front of their computer, or when sitting up in a chair while someone is talking to them.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a few more possible signs of pregnancy are:

• Nausea where you may or may not also have vomiting
  
• A small amount of bleeding or cramping up
• Headaches
• Fainting and dizzy spells
