pa href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://downsyndrome.about.com/od/downsyndromebasics/a/downsynessen.htmDown Syndrome/a is a chromosomal disorder. There are many tests offered in pregnancy to screen for Down Syndrome, including a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/prenataltests/a/nuchalfold.htmnuchal fold test/a, a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/afp/a/afptesting.htmfirst trimester screening, the Maternal Serum screenings in the 2nd trimester (AFP, Triple, Quad and Penta screens)/a. These tests are routinely offered to pregnant women during their prenatal care. Some parents may choose to go straight to genetic testing like a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/amniocentesis/a/amniotest.htmamniocentesis/a or a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/cvs/a/cvstest.htmchorionic villus sampling (CVS)/a or resort to this testing after a screening test indicates an increased risk./p
pWith all this testing, it was surprising to me when it was reported in Pediatrics that the number of infants born with Down syndrome was increasing. Between 1979 and 2003, the numbers of infants born with Down syndrome went from 9 to 11.8 babies per 10,000 live births. This research was done in 10 regions./p
pBeing a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/midlifepregnancy/a/aa061001a.htm35 or older/a is a known risk factor for having a baby born with Down syndrome. There were 38.6 babies with Down syndrome per 10,000 live births born to mothers in this group versus younger mothers and a rate of 7.8 babies with Down syndrome per 10,000./p
pWhat are your ideas behind the higher numbers of babies born with Down syndrome, despite the increase in a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/prenataltests/ss/prenataltests.htmprenatal testing/a?/p

pAre you trying to get pregnant? Trying to figure out if you're pregnant or not can be a big deal. I know that my first sign of pregnancy is different than most people - I get horribly, can't-get-your-head-out-of-bed exhausted. This usually happens before a a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/signssymptoms/g/missedperiod.htmlate period/a even. Some women know they are pregnant from the time of conception, because they are so tuned in to their bodies. a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/symptomsofpregnancy/a/breastchanges.htmSore breasts/a rank fairly high on the list of new signs of pregnancy. Other women need that a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/pregnancytests/p/pgtests.htmpregnancy test/a to show them what they may be wondering about.

pOkay, I like to consider myself crafty, though I'm very obviously no Martha Stewart. Once I even made my own a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/babyshowerfood/ss/butterflycake.htmbutterfly cake/a for a baby shower. So when I saw that I could make my own a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/babyshowerdecor/ss/diapercake.htmdiaper cake for a baby shower/a, I quickly plotted how much time I had left until my next shower and started planning. I found that this was a pretty easy thing to do, though I wound up having to make it very quickly, despite my planning, and with the help of three little girls. So just imagine what you could do with some time and no helpers./p

It was really a neat experience, very intimate and emotional. We talked for the whole hour about birth, babies and pregnancy loss./p
pToday, they are asking that you share a conversation with someone. I'd like to encourage you to do the same, with my own spin.

That means leftovers. The thing I always find difficult about turkey leftovers is that on day one, I'm still excited about eating a meal that was exactly like the Thanksgiving day feast. But pretty soon I get burnt out and so does my kid. Toddlers are bit more tolerant about eating the same foods day in and day out, but even they have limits.
pTo the rescue comes a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://kidscooking.about.com/od/thanksgivingrecipes/tp/turkey-leftover-recipes.htmthis group of recipes using leftover turkey /awhere every recipe is different enough to avoid the dreaded palate satiety issue. Have soup one day, quesadillas the next and finish it off with the cordon bleu casserole. That's totally workable.

pWe're heading into the season - pregnancy test season that is... December and January are when so many women will be having positive pregnancy tests, also know as a BFP (big fat positive). The problem is that everyone worries about the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancytests/a/hptaccurate.htmaccuracy of their pregnancy tests/a./p
pPregnancy tests have come a a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancytests/a/rabbittest.htmlong way/a since they were first introduced, for example, they no longer require rabbits and can be done in the privacy of your own home (or the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/questionsabouttests/ss/strangepregtest.htmbathroom of a store/a). One of the biggest differences is the cost of pregnancy tests./p
pToday the range of prices for pregnancy runs from less than a dollar to nearly $20 per pregnancy test. While they can test for different ranges of pregnancy hormone (a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/pregnancytests/a/hcglevelsinpregnancy.htmhCG/a), they basically all work the same way, no matter how much they cost. The more expensive the pregnancy test there can be a difference in how the readout works, with the more expensive tests having a digital readout of pregnant or not pregnant. The less expensive tests are typically merely small strips of paper, but they work really well./p
pSo consider saving your money on pregnancy tests and go for the less expensive models. That works really well for those who are a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1#38;nav=messages#38;webtag=ab-pregnancy#38;tid=72864addicted to pregnancy tests/a./p

As Thanksgiving and other food laden holidays approach people start to talk about watching their weight around the holiday meals and good food about to come. Being pregnant, you might be less worries, but it brings up an important topic: Dads who gain weight in pregnancy. You might wonder about how many dads gain weight along with moms-to-be. While there isn't a lot of data out there, there are plenty of anecdotes of men who claim to have gained weight. My own husband claims he gained 10 pounds with each pregnancy, though admits he lost it much more easily than having to give birth.Pbr /
Recently someone told me about a husband who gained over 50 pounds during his wife's pregnancy. I couldn't help but wonder how, since that's more than even a a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/symptoms/a/weightgain.htmpregnant woman is supposed to gain/a. You just don't know what to say in those situations.P So tell me, what's been happening in your pregnancy? Is he gaining weight along with you? And why? More food? Better food? Less exercise?/p
