All about about becoming a mum
Once you notice the early signs of pregnancy and take a test to confirm pregnancy, the next step is to go through what to do after a positive pregnancy test, a large part of which is screenings and scans. These screening tests begin at your first prenatal appointment and are mostly non-invasive. A screening test only tells you if you are at risk, or high probability of a particular condition.

Now that you are pregnant and have almost 9 months ahead of you to look forward to, here are a few guidelines to get you started for the next phase of your life.
A practice that has been followed over generation is Swaddling. This involves wrapping your baby in a blanket to keep them secure. The infant’s arms and legs are ticked in tightly and the blanket envelopes them neck down. When you swaddle your baby, you are essentially giving the position of the womb to your infant.
Swaddling prevents the baby from getting startled from sounds or even no reason at all. This reflex last for about 3-6 months but can tend to prevent the baby from sleeping. Swaddling enables the baby to sleep soundly and sleep longer, giving you some extra time as well.
Baby-wearing has recently become super-popular right now, but you might be surprised to learn it has a long history. Mums have been wearing various versions of the baby carrier since many centuries to keep babies close to them. Some of the early carriers were made from just a long piece of cloth wrapped tightly around the woman’s body to keep the baby close to them while they worked the fields or went about their day.
