Your First Prenatal Visit. If you did not meet with your health care provider before your were pregnant, your first prenatal visit will generally be around 8 weeks after your LMP (last menstrual period). If this applies to you, you should schedule a prenatal visit as soon as you know you are pregnant! Even if you are not a first time mother, prenatal visits are still important since every pregnancy is different. This initial visit will probably be one of the longest.

The sweet corn (su) mutation causes the endosperm (storage area) of the seed to accumulate about two times more sugar than field corn. Today several hundred sweet corn varieties are available.
You wish! Less than 1 percent â or only about 3,400 acres of sweet corn is grown in Iowa each year. Most of the corn you see growing in Iowa is field corn, which is used to make fuel, feed, food and thousands of other everyday products. Iowa has been the king of corn for almost two decades.
