During your first ultra-sound the ob/gyn would let you know your EDD. The earlier you find out your EDD, the more accurate it is, compared to if you find it out later in your pregnancy. EDD keeps on changing during your pregnancy.

this is how its calculated..u started counting from the 1st day of u'r last period....n then so on keep adding weeks..so 1 week after 1st day of u'r LMP is ..1 week....

weeks to trimesters is like..by the end of
4th week-1stmonth
8thweek-2nd month
13th week-3rd month(i.e 12thweek+1week)--1st trimester ends..

so for each trimester...in the last month..1 extra week is added....this is how i found in a site..n my gyneac also explained d same...
17th week-4th month
21st week-5th month
26th week-6th month-------2nd trimester ends

& then the EDD is ..3 trimesters+1 week..==40th week

30thweek-7th month
34thweek-8th month
39thweek-9th month----3rd trimester ends

In India, it is calculated as per months. 9months + 9 days from lmp (last menstrual period)

The crib is the first piece of nursery furniture usually purchased. It should be comfortable and easy for baby and parents too . TYPES OF CRIB >>Single Drop-Side Single drop-side allows one side to be raised and lowered for getting baby in and out. Benefit: Crib is very stable because one side rail is permanently attached to both the headboard and the foot board. >>Double Drop-Side Double drop-side has two sides that raise and lower. Benefit: Lets you get baby in and out from either side, without having to walk around. Kickbar Drop-Side Release enables you to simply lift the drop-side a little with one hand, then push your foot against the kickbar to release the drop-side. Benefit: Strong metal drop-side release ensures that the side rail does not drop accidentally.

Baby Massage and Oils.

By -
It is true from what I have heard and experienced with my own little DS and with my neice in India too. As per my opinion, 9 out of 10 babies get rashes with J & J baby oil...  Indians generally prefer using Parachute Coconut oil, its what your mom or mil will advice you to use. Some say that coconut oil makes the skin dark, and so opt for Almond oil available at Indian stores. Figaro Olive Oil from India. Sesame seed oil. Burt Bees oil. PED's recommend to avoid coconut oil in the winters as it harden and does not wash off easily from the skin and may cause rash for babies. So you could go for Olive oil for winter and coconut oil for the summer. you can use any brand of extra virgin olive oil. Click below:   Guideline on How to Massage your baby.
