Surfing the Internet for Fun and Useful Pregnancy Web Pages
Oct 4, 2009
The Internet offers pregnant women many ways to celebrate their pregnancy. From making connections with others to subscribing to weekly updates on the growth of their babies, the Internet is filled with opportunities for pregnant women to connect.
Making Connections
Pregnant women often want to shout their news from the roof-tops as soon as they get it. But often doctors advise against this in the first trimester. So one useful tool that the Internet offers is a way to connect with other women in the earliest weeks of pregnancy. Women who are due around the same time can share their symptoms and connect during one of the most special times of their lives.
Many websites can also connect pregnant women with classes and other pregnant women in their geographical area.
Remember, Internet connections can also be used for finding good places to buy maternity clothes and items that baby will eventually need like strollers and cribs.
Pregnancy E-Mail Updates
One great feature that is especially useful for getting Dads to be involved, is to subscribe to weekly or daily e-mail updates on the development of the baby. This is a fun way for both Mom and Dad to remain connected to the baby from the very beginning. Most of these updates also include information on symptoms that pregnant women might be experiencing from week to week, which is also useful information for Dad.
Pregnancy Journals
The Internet also offers a way for pregnant women to journal their experiences. Pregnant women can share their experiences privately or publicly with friends and families. The Internet offers journal templates for a fee or for free and are a fun way to record and share pregnancy experiences.
Miscellaneous
Other things offered by pregnancy websites include:
- Free merchandise and coupons
- Names and Games - Many sites offer baby name generators and fun games. The Bump website is particularly useful for this. It offers a very unique baby name generator and a gender chart that purports to predict the gender of the baby. The Bump also offers a How Big is Baby feature that compares baby’s growth each week to fruits and vegetables.
Places to Start
- Good places that include most of the features described in this article include Babiesonline, The Bump , Parents.com and Whattoexpect.com.
- Baby Crowd is a good place to start for a good basic free pregnancy journal.
Whether newly pregnant or several months in, the Internet can offer pregnant women many useful and fun websites. The Internet offers pregnant women a means to celebrate their pregnancy in many different ways, happy surfing!
