Wow, where do I start with Babycentre? I'll start with how I came across it and came to love it. Unfortunately, 2.5 years ago, i had the first of 3 miscarriages. I didn't even know i was pregnant at the time. We hadn't thought of babies because myself and my partner had only been together for 6 months. However, a short while later, we found we were pregnant again. Another accident, although this time, a happy one. At the time, I was only 22 and ...

My partner and I have decided that we may start a family soon, probably after Christmas. Not being the most health conscious of people I thought that I should get some advice about diets for mothers and fathers to be. It was while randomly Googling words connected with trying to conceive I found the babycentre. I looked at the diet of a mother to be and found that it offered some good information, along with what and what not to eat. It also offered ...
...good tips about what to eat to optimise fertility and aid conception, and any child that may be conceived! I went to their home page to have a look around the site and found it very easy to navigate. What I also found was information about financial situations and lists of what you really need to buy before the birth and what will do you for now if you can't really afford to.

...at the board Trying to Conceive and notice a couple of other people had left messages saying they were pregnant and that they were off to join the November 2002 board.
