Finally Planning My Pregnancy For Next Year in 2012


Well not long after creating this Blog I have now decided that I would like to have a baby next year.  I can officially announce it because I have discussed it with the future father of my child.  I will not be announcing his name til I actually do become pregnant next year.  Back in 2004 (of which I still have the emails), I asked my American Pie (the nick name I gave him when we first met), that if I never married or met anyone and had children, would he consider having a caramel baby with me?  Later on I will do a Blog on how I met him so all the information will be there for our child, and his two children from a previous marriage, to read too if they are interested in reading all that information.

A couple of weeks before I left Darwin, I decided to buy a couple of magazines to start preparing me.   I thought I would like to share with first time mothers and mothers to be  and whom ever some of these magazines I am reading.  Technically this is my second pregnancy however there is a 22 year time gap from now and my last pregnancy.  This time I want to be prepared as I am over last minute planning and have witnessed first hand  some women and the way they don't plan things properly.  There is a saying if you Fail To Plan You Plan To Fail, this ain't happening with this black duck.

I also keep my American Pie informed on what I am actually reading and what my thoughts and opinions are whilst he is away.  This will give him plenty of time to think about these things whilst he is bored out in the middle of the ocean on a quiet day.  I don't want to start discussing these things a month before the baby's due as I want all our options laid out before us.  Times have changed in the medical world for mums and bubs and I want to be right in there in the gist of all this information.  I am also 42 years old going on 43 as I type this, apparently it is harder for some older women who plan on getting pregnant later on in life.  Ideally I wanted children in my 20s' which never happened (although almost once.)

I am reading the July edition of the following magazines, and probably will not invest in a monthly magazine routine, they cost money for someone like me on a strict budget.  Usually when I read magazines or any type of printed matter I take notice of the websites they advertise in them.  So I can refer to that website later on down the track hence the purpose of this Blog.  So I can share with other people who are looking for similiar information to myself.

These website links might be online subscription magazine orders, just ignore them you can buy the magazines at any Australian newsagent outlet or maybe Coles Supermarket and Woolworths.  I am just sharing with you the exact magazine cover of where I retrieved these websites from.  You might also want to buy your own magazine also want to know which one I was reading or referring to.

Cosmopolitan Pregnancy Winter 2011 - Australia's Number 1 Guide To Pregnancy - They are also on Facebook so you can click on Like if you want to be kept updated.

Some important information contained within those magazines which I found to also be informative are:

What Is Family Cord Blood Banking?  Information on saving your baby's cord blood stem cells.  Can be used to as an alternative bone marrow transplantation, treat cancer patients, blood disorders and immune system deficiences, in accordance with Page 024 of Cosmopolitan Pregancy Winter 2011.

I have now created a Page called Sharing My Pregnancy Planning Information With You.  You can click on the link below otherwise it is at the top of my Pages to your right under Home.  I now realise I will be adding more websites in regards to information before and after Pregnancy, Parenting and Child Care.
