Congratulations! With a new little one on the way, you'll want to make staying healthy a big part of this new and exciting time. The better health you're in, the better your chances for an easier labor. And if you're in terrific health while pregnant, keeping up with your new little family member once you've delivered will be infinitely easier.

The most important things to do, now that you're pregnant, are to visit with your physician to discuss your particular needs, to keep a healthy diet, and to maintain a healthy weight.

Blood Pressure Monitors:

If blood pressure is a concern for you, we've found two different home blood pressure monitors from Omron Healthcare. One is a portable wrist monitor, that makes monitoring your blood pressure easy, whether at home or at travel. Simply wrap the monitor around your wrist, press a button, and your blood pressure and pulse is displayed. The other Omron blood pressure monitor is a digital model that both stores and prints out your blood pressure information and uses Omron's exclusive IntelliSense™ auto-inflation technology.

Heart Rate Monitors:

If your doctor recommends exercise, you'll want to be careful not to over-do. The best way to monitor your exercise intensity is with a heart rate monitor. We've chosen two models from Polar heart rate monitors, plus the Mio Sport strapless heart rate monitor. Either of the models will take you straight through pregnancy, yet still have advanced features for use after delivery. FREE UPS Ground or $5 Guaranteed 2nd Day Air on all heart rate monitors!

Baby & Mommy Scale:

You'll want to watch your weight during pregnancy - if you gain too little weight, it may not be good for baby; gaining too much will leave you with unwanted pounds to lose after the little one is born. We've found a terrific scale that measures adult body weight (mom & dad), and also converts to a professional quality baby scale for your new arrival. It's called the "mommy & me" scale from Tanita.

Fetal Heart Monitors / Fetal Dopplers

Your doctor may recommend that you monitor your baby's heartbeat during pregnancy. If that's the case, the Baby Beat fetal heart rate monitor will give you the same high-quality Doppler monitor that's used in doctors' offices - in the privacy of your own home. This professional-quality instrument lets you hear the true sounds of your baby's heartbeat as early as 10-12 weeks into pregnancy. New! We now carry the BabyCom Fetal Doppler -- monitor your baby's heart rate right at home -- at an affordable price!
