Fetal Development:
 | Multiples: Having leg cramps? You could be suffering from a shortage of calcium thanks to your babies. When the cramps hit, straighten your leg and flex your ankle. Have your partner massage the muscle. |
Ideas for Dad:
| Some parents have no problem agreeing on a name for their baby. Other parents go through World War III. Here are a few ideas . . . make a list of ten of your favorite names (if you don't know your baby's gender, make a list of boys' names and a list of girls' names). Have mom do the same thing and then exchange lists. Cross off the names on her list that you absolutely hate while mom crosses off her least favorite names on your list. If any names survive the process, start playing with those in various configurations. This may be one of those areas where compromise is a gift. Visit these sites for some naming help:
