Right from the start of pregnancy, your gynecologist will recommend several blood tests with the objective of ascertaining you and your fetus’s health. The tests are a vital part of your pregnancy journey, as it allows your doctor to come up with a personalized pregnancy care plan. Also, problems or complications can be diagnosed early on with their help so that you and your baby get the right treatment on time. Here is a list of the most important blood tests offered during pregnancy, why they are required and when they should be done.

People can’t live a day without using Google search. The frustrating thing is, even though there are millions of people who actively use Google search but most of them don’t know how to use it effectively.

More or Most Important vs. Importantly - Grammar Stammer22 There seems to be some confusion around whether one should say "More importantly" or "More important". I hope this post helps clear things up.

As much as I love "top ten" lists, and enjoy creating them; I realize that virtually no one is likely to totally agree with my choices, nor the order in which I have listed them. My choices are unavoidably subjective to some degree, but I like to think they are also both knowledgeable and reflective of at least a modicum of good taste. In listing the ten most beautiful buildings in the world, I have screened out those structures which, though once quite beautiful (such as the Parthenon in Athens), but which now lie in ruins. I've also not considered architectural/engineering structures, build entirely for show (such as the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, or St. Louis' Gateway Arch. Beyond that, I've also not considered buildings that, while they may be architecturally daring, perhaps even pointing the way toward the future in architecture, are at this point problematical, and in some cases even downright ugly (here I'm not going to cite examples). The buildings I've selected, without exception, serve a purpose. They were built to house human activities. Only two are more than a hundred years old. If that shows a bias for the contemporary over the classical, then so be it. The same applies to the fact that two of my choices are works by the same architect. I've already written about several of the buildings listed so I've created links to them so as not to be redundant. I'm hoping some of my choices may be surprising, thus bringing to light some very beautiful creations which thus far may have slipped beneath the architectural radar (so to speak). By the same token, I've no doubt left out some excellent possibilities with which the reader may take issue. If so, by all means make your feelings known in the comments section at the bottom.

A breathtaking stalwart of the Milan skyline, the Duomo’s history spans more than six centuries of worship. The cathedral’s construction began back in 1386 at the peak of Gothic design, but was not truly completed until the mid-20th century. Over the decades, a succession of Italy's greatest architects, engineers and artists worked on the magnificent structure. Even Leonardo Da Vinci sketched some designs for a proposed domed tower, though they never made it off his drawing board.

It’s not the tallest building in New York City, nor is it the most famous, but the Flatiron building in Manhattan is definitely among the city's most striking. A triangular, 22-storey office block that looks almost two-dimensional when viewed from the side, the building was constructed in the Beaux-Arts style and measures just six feet (2m) across at its narrower end.

Dedicated to his late wife, Shah Jahan’s Taj Mahal is beautiful not only for its mesmerising marble facade. Their love story is one of bittersweet tragedy: Mumtaz Mahal ('the Jewel of the Palace') died while giving birth to their 14th child, so the emperor vowed never to marry again and promised he would build her the finest mausoleum ever seen.

Designed by famous Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Bilbao is an artwork in its own right. The sculpture-like structure boasts titanium-clad curves designed to catch the light in different ways as the day progresses, and has been continually hailed as one of the greatest buildings of our time.
