storkHappy New Year!

At StorkNet, we're very excited about 2013 so be sure to check in with us for the best in pregnancy and parenting information. As we enter this brand new year, please visit our most popular areas of StorkNet for 2012 which are listed below. You may have missed something wonderful!
  ~ Maribeth Doerr, Editor-in-Chief

Pregnancy and Parenting Journals
Our most popular area on StorkNet in 2011 was our journals. Clearly not a surprise, our pregnancy, TTC, and parenting journalists have been wonderful this year! Scroll down for a list of our current journalists and visit our journals page for a list of our completed journals. A round of applause for our fabulous journalists please!

A BFP! ~ aka a Big Fat Positive!
Second in popularity was our Pregnancy Channel! Think you might be pregnant? Check our pregnancy symptoms sheet and a pregnancy symptoms survey of our members. Have a positive test? Check out our due date calculations and chart and our Ancient Chinese Gender chart. For more information on figuring out if you're having a boy or a girl, check out our Old Wives Tales. You'll have a giggle or two. Find out when our members felt the first movements, learn more about weight gain guidelines for pregnancy and how your pregnancy progresses through the trimesters. Learn more about the jargon of pregnancy and the complications.

Pregnancy Planning and Conception
More of our popular haunts on StorkNet this year were our conception planner (aka due date calculator or ovulation calculator). Plug in the first day of your last period and you'll see an "estimated" date of conception and estimated due date. Our Pregnancy Planner tool is also valuable is calculating the perferred days for conception. Also plug in the first day of your last menstrual period and you'll be given a plan that lists fertile days and when a home pregnancy test may work.

Baby Names
Another place to visit on StorkNet this year is our Baby Names database. Have fun searching for that perfect name or find out what your favorite name means with our database. Baby Name Guru Bruce Lansky contributed several essays regarding celebrity names and trends which will give you something to chuckle over. While you're visiting, submit your baby names for top names on StorkNet for 2008.

Getting Ready for B-Day!
Is your hospital bag ready? Are you wondering about using castor oil to jump start things or even what the signs of labor are? We have that information and more for you!
