Sleeping on the Left May Lessen Risk of Stillbirth

Seeing my preggy friend a few days ago made me remember something that I have read somewhere where some studies and research have somewhat found that there could be a link between a woman’s sleeping position in pregnancy and stillbirth. I usually sleep on my left most of my life and that is what I remember until now even when I was still pregnant with our dear child a few years ago.

Interesting to know that studies have found that those preggy women who slept on their left just like I do has lesser risk of still birth compared to women who sleep on their right side or on their back. It makes us think that the night before giving birth, it may help and there is nothing to lose if you sleep on your left. I cannot remember the real reason as of now why I was advised by my ob before to sleep on my left but I think it has something to do with the liver. There was an explanation to that but I could not remember now. Again there is nothing to lose for preggy moms to sleep on their left side or better ask your OB’s thought on this.

Mother’s Day 2011 | Mothering Sunday 2011

My sister asked me when Mother’s Day 2011 is. I told her it will be on May 08, 2011 (US). For her, they have a different day to celebrate it and it is on April 03, 2011 and they call it Mothering Sunday in UK.

With these dates clear in mind now, you may start thinking of mother’s day gifts to send to your mom, sister or friends who are also mothers like you and me. It is not too early for those in the UK, it is less than a month away while those in the US and other countries celebrating it on that same day in May 2011, it is just good enough time to plan what you want to give your love one.

Here are the dates by the way for the following so you would know and hopefully won’t forget!

Chewing Gum

I miss chewing gum. My dear hubby does not like to chew gum because he says, he is not comfortable with it and it causes something like gas pain for him. He is short not made for chewing gums he said. I used to like chewing gum when I was in my younger years particularly in grade school or high school. I stopped when an incident happened that I almost swallowed a gum because we were making fun with a friend of each other. That incident really scared me and since then I somehow never thought of chewing gum again. (more…)
