Problem: Article: Try personal lubricants for more comfortable sex during pregnancy. Hormonal shifts while pregnant may make it easier or more difficult to produce your own natural lubrication. To avoid any vaginal discomfort during sex, use as much lube as you need to feel comfortable.  You can buy personal lubricants online or at your local drug store. Look for water-based products, and avoid those with dyes or fragrances, which may be irritating. Lie on your side and have your partner enter you from behind. This position takes pressure off your growing belly and gives your body additional support by lying down.  This position provides shallower penetration, which may be more comfortable for some pregnant women. Aim to lie on your left side, rather than your right. This increases the amount of nutrients and blood that flow to the placenta and to the baby. Get on top of your partner so you can control the speed and depth of penetration. By controlling the action, you can determine what is most comfortable for you. On all fours, have your partner penetrate you from behind. You can place a pillow or two underneath your growing belly for additional support. If sex doesn’t appeal to you, use a vibrator externally with your partner for some alternative intimacy. Clean your vibrator per the manufacturer’s instructions after every use to prevent infection. Consult your doctor regarding vibrator use if you have a high-risk pregnancy. Try massage, mutual masturbation, kissing, or other forms of sexual activity if intercourse feels painful or doesn’t appeal to you. You could create a special date night at home with candles, a movie, and lots of cuddling to feel close, too.   Communicate with your partner regularly to discuss how you’re feeling and what you need to feel supported. It’s okay if you don’t feel like having sex. You might say, “You know, my back hurts, and I really don’t feel sexy tonight. I know we’d talked about being intimate. Can I give you a massage instead? I want to make you feel special.” Cramping during sex, especially with orgasm, is normal during pregnancy. However, if you have persistent bleeding, leaking fluid, or pain after sex, call your provider for a check up. Your provider can determine if it’s safe for you to continue sexual activity while pregnant.
Summary: Use lots of lubrication. Try side-lying sex. Try sex with the pregnant woman on top. Try sex from behind with a pillow under your belly. Use a vibrator. Connect using other forms of intimacy. Call your doctor in case of troubling symptoms.

Problem: Article: This is for her upper skull. Make sure that you are using a pencil for the draft sketch so you can erase it afterwards to make it neat. Draw a vertical line in the middle of the head so you know the center of the face. You can draw on a different angle for her pose. Add an L-shaped line for her jaw guide. For her torso, draw an inverted triangle. For her cheeks, just connect the head with the L-shaped line. Draw a circle at the pointed end of the triangle for her hips. For her neck just draw a rectangle to connect the body to her head. For the limbs and legs, just draw some lines. It all comes to the artist’s preference. To complete her neck, draw 2 huge bolts at each side. For the hands, just draw rounded ovals. Also, don’t forget to add her legs. By now, you should have her basic skeleton. Basically, Frankie’s hair is straight but tends to meet up at the ends, you might want to keep that in mind when drawing her hair. Aside from that, it’s just simple lines and curves. For her bangs, draw some curvy and wavy lines. Add some sleeve puffs and her necktie. Frankie likes wearing gothic dresses so let’s add some ruffles for her skirt. On the center of the face,  draw her small nose and large lips. Make sure to make the lower lip big and the upper lip thin. Add two almond-shaped figures for her eyes. Make the eyes skew a little from the center. Put in mind the overlapping lines and parts that should be hidden. For her limbs and legs, just add some width from the bone. It doesn’t matter if your legs look weird. The drawing style for Monster High defies logic and proportional rules. The lineart might not look perfect and crisp but it should look neat when the pencil is erased. You can add details like jewelry and different accessories. Don’t forget to add some eyelashes and the inside lens (which is just 2 small circles overlapping a big one). Also, never forget her body stitches. She’s got one on her face, neck, two on her right arm, and one on the other. For her legs, she’s got one set of stitches each leg. Try to add more if needed. Don’t be afraid to add more lines than what is necessary.  You can add lots of trinkets on her clothes. When coloring her, notice that she has different-colored eyes.
Summary: Draw a big circle. Add guidelines for the face. Add her torso and cheeks. Add neck and hips. Draw her limbs and thigh. Complete neck and add hands. Add hair. Draw some clothing details. Draw the face. Using a pen, draw on top of your sketch. Erase the pencil sketch and add details. Color Frankie.

Problem: Article: Many women describe contractions as a pain that begins in the lower back and moves in a wavelike fashion toward the abdomen. The feeling is described as being akin to menstrual cramps or constipation. With each contraction, the pain is mild at first, it builds to a peak, and then it subsides.  During contractions, the abdomen becomes rigid. For some women, the pain stays in the lower back area. Contractions feel a little different for everyone. At the beginning of labor, most contractions last from 60 - 90 seconds and occur every 15 to 20 minutes. They decrease in duration and increase in frequency as labor draws closer. It's common to feel a contraction now and then in the months leading up to labor. Your body is "practicing" for the main event, and it's usually no cause for alarm. When your due date approaches and you feel several contractions that seem to be following a regular pattern, time them so you can determine whether you're going into labor.
Summary: Recognize what a contraction feels like. Start timing when you feel a few in a row.

Problem: Article: Gather parsley before the first flowers start to open, and gather it in the morning after the dew has dried. It will have maximum flavor at this time of day; the heat of the afternoon will diminish the parsley's flavor. Alternately, purchase fresh parsley at a grocery store. Choose bright green bunches of parsley that look nice and smell fresh. Don't pick parsley that is shriveled, brown, moldy, or is dried out. Carefully cut the parsley with stems still attached, and be careful to not bruise the leaves. Use cold water to rinse, and then shake the parsley gently to remove excess water from the leaves. This will remove any residual dirt, as well as any bugs that crawled into your parsley. Place a paper towel on a plate and place a single layer of parsley leaves on it. Then cover the leaves with another paper towel. Watch them constantly to ensure that they do not burn. If the parsley is not fully dry, gently toss the parsley leaves to ensure it is drying evenly. Microwave the leaves for another 30 seconds. Times may vary depending on the model of your microwave. Follow the instructions for your microwave.
Summary:
Harvest fresh parsley from your garden. Rinse the parsley. Cover the parsley with paper towels. Microwave the leaves for 30 seconds. Store the dried parsley in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Finished.
