Week by Week Online Pregnancy Guides

I've bookmarked quite a few week by week pregnancy guides. Probably a bit of overkill but what can I say!?  This is my first pregnancy and we've been planning on it forEVER.  So, I want to know everything!  Well, everything I can.  I know books, magazines, internet, tv shows and even hearing what others have gone through can't completely prepare you for pregnancy, birth and motherhood.  I'm sure it'll all help though.  At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Some online week by week guides:

ePregnancy: For my current week, this guide goes from telling me I might be feeling PMS-ey to telling me to lay off the coffe to scaring the crap out of me with warning signs of an eptopic pregnancy!  For each week there is a little section of information about what mom, dad, and baby might be going through. I like that they included information for dad. :) 

FitPregnancy: Yes yes, you probably know from perusing my blog so far that this is one of my favorite magazines/sites for pregnancy info.  Their week by week guide has a personalized section with a little count down for you (you have to register at their site to use this tool) followed by tabs labeled: "Your Growing Baby," "Your Changing Body," "Your Fitness Tip," and "Related Articles."  The information provided is brief and to the point.

BabyCenter: I've actually signed up for their weekly email.  The site itself has the week by week guides though.  You can look at what is happening with both your body and fetal developement.  This site has a bit more information in their week by week than some of the others. 

I Dream of Baby: I used to really like popping into this site to look at their week by week, but for some reason I haven't been able to get it to work since we've gotten pregnant.  :/  I figured I'd list it in case they're just having temporary issues though. 

iVillage: Definately check out this one.  Lots of information and easy to navigate.  Each week includes: "What's Happening With You," "What's Happening With Your Baby," "Eating For Two," "Fact of the Week," and "Topics of Interest." 

About.com: This link will take you to the actual week by week list.  You have to scroll down and work your way up which is wierd.  Also, even though about.com usually has lots of good relevant information, they can sometimes be a little hard to navigate and are pretty no frills.  They do have sections for Mother, Baby, Dad, Twin tips and Suggested Reading though which is different and nice.

Pregnancy Guide Online: This site is organized very well.  The pictures of developement are cartooney.  Each week includes: "Fetal Developement," "Maternal Changes," <-(both sections with information on 'multiples' in case you're carrying more than one!) "Ideas For Dad," "Inspirational Thoughts," and "Reading."  There are also specific relevant section specific to each week included in the information provided.  Very thourough.  Nice.

Pregnancy.org: This calendar is SO cool.  Each DAY has either a fact, link to a related article, picture of fetal developement (actual picture, not a drawing or computer image), suggested reading and much much more!  So interesting and imformative!  The site itself is nothing fancy, but I really enjoy this calendar. SO MUCH INFORMATION.

That's about it for me tonight.  Let me know if you have a website that you absolutely LOVE for baby info (even if it's not a week by week).
