YBYWadmin Description:
Although there are plenty of national resources for conception, pregnancy and parenting, there was nothing that addressed the needs of families in southwest Washington and the greater Portland Metro Area. YourBabyYourWay.com strives to fill that void. As such, we encourage participation from our members in the way of blog entries, suggestions for resources, and sharing their stories. We also foster relationships with physicians and caregivers in order to bring you the most up-to-date health care information with a local perspective.

Maybe the vacation from stress was responsible, or just opportunity to spend time together away from it all.

Did you had a similar experience? Do you believe a vacation from stress and the opportunity to relax can help you conceive?  Tell us what you think.
