REALITY: New research shows that a moderate level of stress is actually good for the fetus: It tones the fetus's nervous system and accelerates its development. Women who experienced moderate stress during pregnancy have two-week-old infants with brains that work at a faster speed than infants of mothers without the same stress, and two-year old toddlers with higher motor and mental development scores.

Pregnancy traditions around the world:
Guyana - In this South American country, tradition has it that moms forego a pre-birth baby shower in favor of celebrating when the baby turns nine days old. Guests bring gifts, including gold bangle bracelets for both boy and girl babies; it’s also customarily when moms take their first post-delivery bath. Some moms also save the placenta in a container and burn it during this celebration, in part as a symbolic celebration of the separation of mom and baby.

Your blood clots more easily now, a protective mechanism so you don’t bleed to death when the placenta is delivered. There’s a concern that a clot in the calf may fragment, and cause clots elsewhere, particularly if you’ve had thrombosis or are overweight.
Help your body – Regular exercise is important. If you’re planning a long car journey, stop every hour for at least 15 minutes to get the circulation going in your legs.

It used to be said that a woman lost one tooth for each of her pregnancies. Thankfully, that's no longer the case for women who have a healthy, varied diet. But your gums are vulnerable now and gingivitis, or bleeding gums, is very common. It's important to make the most of the free dental treatment you are entitled to (up until your baby is 12 months old) and see your dentist and hygienist regularly.
Help your body - Use a softer toothbrush and make sure your diet is rich in calcium. Drink plenty of milk, but try to make sure it's semi-skimmed. This gives you all the calcium you will need without the extra fat, too.

Some women find a dark line appears on their abdomen in pregnancy. This is known as the linea nigra and is caused by higher melatonin levels. It will fade again after your pregnancy. It tends to affect women with dark colouring more than those with fairer complexions.
Help your body - Relax. It's not harmful and it will fade.
