      <title>Conception Question 2:  Should You Start Taking Prenatal Vitamins Early?</title>
      <category domain="http://www.kmobgyn.com/blog/categoryid/17">Obstetrics</category>
      <link>http://www.kmobgyn.com/blog/entryid/70/conception-question-2-should-you-start-taking-prenatal-vitamins-early</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Yes! I recommend all women start taking prenatal vitamins well before they start trying to conceive, and certainly once they stop using contraception. You never know how long it will take to get pregnant. So start the prenatal vitamin of your choice today!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I've been asked if exercise and physical activity are connected to fertility. Exercise, in general, is healthy for you. (Duh, right?) But are there any repercussions for working out too little or too much? The answer to this question depends on a woman's current weight and fitness levels.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[So you’ve been eagerly waiting the day that your body changes enough for it to be clearly obvious you’re pregnant. Be careful what you wish for. The weight gain of pregnancy, the changes in posture, and the hormonal effects causing relaxation of muscles and ligaments all can lead to back pain. While this is a common complaint in pregnancy, it can be treated and even prevented. Consider these tips for beating back pain.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For those of you who have seen me in the office, you know I love my iPhone. I use an app for my “pregnancy wheel” before I see each pregnant patient to calculate the exact gestational age. It replaces the old paper wheel that I carried around during residency. So, it got me thinking, what apps are out there for patients.]]></description>

      <title>My Take on DHA</title>

      <link>http://www.kmobgyn.com/blog/entryid/63/my-take-on-dha</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The short version is that we don’t really know for sure if the DHA in prenatal vitamins has a huge benefit; more research is necessary. Because there is potential benefit and no downside to taking it, it seems reasonable to add a DHA supplement if you desire.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I started with Kamm McKenzie OBGYN 8/16/2010. As a necessary part of preparing for the OBGYN oral board examination (FYI: Drs.
