Mother: Your uterine lining is thickening, and ovulation is getting ready to occur. Some women will actually feel ovulation, with a one sided pain called mittleschmertz (literally meaning middle pain). Getting to know your family's medical history is very important. About 75% of complications with pregnancy and birth can be identified at the first visit. Also learn more about getting pregnant and preconceptional health.
Baby:

Almost!

Dad:

Did you know that wearing boxers can increase your sperm count? By wearing regular or tight underwear, even pants, you can over heat your testicles and that has an adverse effect of the sperm.

Twin Tips:

If you ovulate more than one egg, chances are you'll get pregnant with multiples! The rate of naturally occurring twins is about 1 in 89 births.
