About Stages-in-Pregnancy

First let's go over a very important disclaimer about Stages-in-Pregnancy:

ALL information on Stages-in-Pregnancy is for informational purposes only. I am not a medical professional and therefore all articles are strictly for informational purposes only. I cannot diagnose nor treat any medical conditions. If you have any concerns or issues, please seek the advice of your healthcare provider.
 

Good, now that that's done and out of the way and I can tell you about me. Who I am and what I do.

I am a 41 year old mother of 5, married to my sweetie for 13 years. I started studying about human reproduction back in August 1994 before I conceived my first baby. One of my best friends was a nursing major and I borrowed her obstetrics book. That's when my passion to learn all I could about fertility and pregnancy began.

In July 1995 I gave birth to my first baby, a son, at 35 weeks along at age 28. In April 1997 I experienced my first miscarriage which happened the cycle after I stopped taking birth control pills. In December 1997 I gave birth to my 2nd baby, my daughter at 36 weeks delivered via cesarean.

I finally conceived and gave birth to my third baby - a daughter in October 2000. My pregnancy was plagued with gestational diabetes and preterm labor. Again, the preterm labor was from the same reason I had the miscarriage and the same reason I gave birth to my first 2 prematurely. (This was the time I gained most of my knowledge about Stages-in-pregnancy)

In September 2002 I gave birth to my 4th baby, a daughter 2 days past her due date. I suffered a 2nd miscarriage in February 2005. And in May 2006 I gave birth to my 5th baby, a daughter - at 37 weeks. So that makes 5 beautiful healthy babies.

It was my journey in conceiving baby number 3 that led me down the path of reading everything I could about fertility and pregnancy. I wanted to understand why I had suffered a miscarriage and why I was having so much trouble conceiving again. I discovered I had secondary infertility.

I interviewed doctors, nurses, midwives, herbalists, and many other women on this same journey to motherhood. I read many books, magazines and websites on the subject as well. I began to write and write and write about my personal experiences and the things I learned.

I ended up writing 2 books, one on fertility the other on pregnancy. I started several websites, and spent several years in fertility and baby retail. And now, I'm back to writing again. :)

I hope you enjoy reading this Stages-in-pregnancy page and the entire site and I hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy!
