Early-Detection Pregnancy Tests: Pack of 5 Tests
Our Early-Detection Pregnancy Test Strips are FDA-Approved, over 99% accurate, and are capable of detecting human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG (a hormone present in women's urine during pregnancy) at levels of just 20 mIU/ml. That means you can begin testing accurately just 6 to 8 days after conception - well before your first missed period. These are the same type of tests relied upon by clinics, universities, and hospitals.
To use the pregnancy test strip, simply fill a container or Dixie cup with urine and hold the test strip in the container in a vertical position. Results appear within just a couple of minutes. (Please note that complete instructions are made available to customers, complete with images for easy results interpretation.)
Please note that all orders are shipped on the same business day your order is placed via US First Class mail and usually take 2 to 5 days for delivery. International shipping is also available.
Bella Band (Size 3 (Pre-pregnancy size 16-22), Black)
$26.00(USD)
The Bella Band is a seamless knit band you wear at your waistline, over your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy pants, over slightly big maternity pants, or around the waistband of any maternity style that falls down around your hips.
The Bella Band holds your pants up, disguising bulky unfastened closures or excessive fabric creating a smooth belly surface. Now, no one has to know your pants are undone or loose.
Wear the Bella Band concealed, or let it peek out from under your top for that hip, layered look. If your top rises, it looks like a t-shirt or camisole -- not a funky mechanism to expand your waistband or hold up your pants.
The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy
Vicki Iovine$15.00(USD)
Beginning with the "10 Greatest Lies About Pregnancy" (number 10: Lamaze works), and ending with postpartum dementia, Vicki Iovine's
Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy has fast become the laywoman's mouthpiece for the American pregnancy experience. Iovine is irreverent, sassy, and incredibly reassuring as she exposes the "truths" of pregnancy and childbirth, from sex to cellulite to cesareans. Iovine birthed four kids in six years, none of them twins, which certainly qualifies her as an expert.
The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy does reveal Iovine's particular cultural biases (pregnant or not, most of us don't have record-producer husbands, hang out with supermodels, or wear size-four pants) and philosophical beliefs (she's not a particularly strong proponent of natural childbirth or nursing), but, taken with a grain or two of salt, she provides many hilarious moments, acres of advice, and honest reassurance readers will find nowhere else.

When you're pregnant, there is nothing more exciting than keeping up with the drastic changes your body undergoes on a weekly basis. In
Your Pregnancy Week by Week, Glade B. Curtis, M.D. (
Your Pregnancy Questions and Answers,
Your Pregnancy After Thirty) has written a clear, easy to follow guidebook. Each "week" includes information on: How Big Is Your Baby?, How Big Are You?, How Your Baby Is Growing and Developing, Changes in You, How Your Actions Affect Your Baby's Development, You Should Also Know, and a Tip of the Week. With the exception of the You Should Also Know sections (which sometimes focus on rare problems and concerns), the tone of the book is informative, chatty and reassuring. An extensive, excellent glossary adds value.
Your Pregnancy Week by Week seems intended to both simplify and expand on the information an inexperienced or first-time mother-to-be receives from her medical provider. It is especially ideal for very young pregnant women seeking to better understand the changes in their bodies.
