BabyCenter.com – invaluable resource on parenting

It was during my early second pregnancy that Harvinder introduced me to BabyCenter.com newsletters. Over the last eight months and even now when I have little Siya in my arms, I’ve turned to it for information, tips, advice and more.

I found it one stop shop for parents. Some of the highlights I find useful are:

1. Weekly newsletter during PGcy kept me up-to-date on “what’s-happening-with-my-baby”, advice about what best to eat / avoid when, what possible symptoms to watch for, what exercises / activities to take up etc.
2. Medical conditions, their symptoms, possible causes and things you can do to reduce / avoid them – This second PGcy was a really rough ride for me. Low b.p., excruciating lower back pain, infections – you name it, I had it. At least knowing more about what was happening to me, why and how I could ease some of the pain helped a lot.
3. Forums / community – For each article they have comments from community members. women share their experiences, give tips and advice and overall boost each other’s spirit.

They also have offers from diapers.com etc but I did not use these, so no comments there.

So if you are a trying-to-be parent, would-be parent or having kids & toddlers go take a look at this great site. It’s worth spending some time on!
