Pregnant woman pregnant again

A woman is having two babies but they are not twins! While she is pregnant she conceived again after two and half weeks. The doctors saw it while having her regular ultra sound. Sounds impossible and it's extremely rare according to the experts.

And the doctor said the two babies might be born in different year, the older at the end of this year and the younger one at the first month of 2010.

See the video here : http://gmy.news.yahoo.com/

Theresa Winters has spent almost half of her life having babies, but has not been allowed to keep any of them beyond the age of two.

Even her own sister believes that she should be sterilised.

But Miss Winters, 36, a heavy smoker who was herself taken into care as a teenager, insisted it was time for a 'second chance'.

She accused social workers of failing to help her achieve her deepest wish of having a family with her second partner, Tony Housden.

She admitted that social services had probably made the right decision in removing her first 13 children because of neglect, but said she had 'calmed down' now.

Miss Winters, who is 25 weeks into her 14th pregnancy, said: 'We feel like social services are treating us like murderers when we haven't done anything.

'All we want to do is to be a family and to look after our children. It's very upsetting. We want help from social services but they won't help us.'

Health And Diet During Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 12:36:00 +0000

Health And Diet During Pregnancy

The nutritional requirements for the baby will rely soley on the breast milk, and therefore the mother will need to maintain a healthy diet. If the baby is large and grows fast, the fat stores gained by the mother during pregnancy can be depleted quickly, meaning that she may have trouble eating good enough to maintain and develop sufficient amounts of milk.

If they smoke, breast feeding mothers must use extreme caution. More than 20 cigarettes a day has been shown to reduce the milk supply and cause vomiting, diarrhoea, rapid heart rate, and restlessness in the infants. SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is more common in babies that are exposed to smoke.

This type of diet normally involves a high calorie, high nutrition diet which follows on from that in pregnancy. Even though mothers in famine conditions can produce milk with nutritional content, a mother that is malnourished may produce milk with lacking levels of vitamins A, D, B6, and B12.

The excessive consumption of alcohol by the mother can result in irritability, sleeplessness, and increased feeding in the infant. Moderate use, normally 1 - 2 cups a day normally produces no effect. Therefore, mothers that are breast feeding are advised to avoid caffeine or restrict intake of it.

Heavy drinking is also known to harm the imfant, as well as yourself. If you are breast feeding, you should avoid alcohol or consume very small amounts at a time.

By following a healthy diet and limiting your intake of the above, you'll ensure that your baby gets the right nutrients during your time of breast feeding. This stage of life is very important - as you don't want anything to happen to your baby.

Other Foods While Breast Feeding

Breast milk is actually the only food your baby will need until 4 months of age, although most
babies do well on breast milk alone for 6 months or better. There is really no advantage to
adding other foods or milks before 4 - 6 months, except under unusual circumstances.
Water

Breast milk is over 90% water. Even in the hottest days of summer, a baby won't require any
extra water. If a baby isn't feeding well, they still don't require any extra water - although
they will need the breast feeding problems to be fixed.
Iron

Breast milk contains less iron than formulas do, especially those that are iron enriched. Iron
will give the baby added protection against infections, as many bacteria need iron in order
to multiply. The iron found in breast milk is utilized well by the baby, while not being available to bacteria. The introduction of iron should never be delayed beyond the age of 6 months.

Vitamin D

Although breast milk doesn't contain much vitamin D, it does have a little. The baby will store up vitamin D during pregnancy, and remain healthy without any vitamin D supplementation, unless you yourself had a problem with vitamin D deficiency when pregnant.

Exposure to the outside will give your baby vitamin D, even in winter and when the sky is
covered. An hour or more exposure during the week will give your baby more than enough vitamin D.

Breast milk is the best that your can feed your baby, as it provides everything he will need for probably the first 6 months. After the first 6 months, you can introduce solid foods to your baby if he is taking an interest
to them.

Wives Tales and Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:27:00 +0000

Wives Tales and Pregnancy

It's all great to hear advice during your pregnancy, especially unwelcome advice. I'm sure you've been told by one person or another how to live. Am I right? It only gets worse the further along in your pregnancy you are. Someone will want to tell you that you shouldn't bend, or walk a certain way, not to pick up a baby in case you hurt the one in your stomach or put yourself in labor.

I'm pretty sure you aren't going to even care at this point what sex the baby is, all you want is for the morning sickness to stop. You may even be counting down the days until the first trimester is over. Chances are if you morning sickness someone is bound to tell you what s3x of the baby is.

One wives tale is if you are having severe morning sickness is a sign you are having a girl. As the pregnancy gets closer to the due date you'll be told many different home remedies of how to put yourself in labor.

Got a headache ?

Someone can tell you exactly what to drink to get rid of it without any medication, remember it is important to ask a doctor before trying to take something you've never tried before doing it. But the most fun I have during the course of the 9-10 months stretch is hearing all the wives tales, also known as myths.

Here's a wives tale that is a lot of fun and you can test it on everyone in your household. Take a thin piece of string or your hair, slide your ring down it, hold it above your belly and let the ring dangle above it. If the rings spins in a circle it is a boy, but if it goes from one side to the other, it is a girl. Once you've tried it out on your tummy, get someone in your house and do it above their hand.
Does the ring spin in a circle above your husband's hand ? Is it really and old wives tale or is there really something to it ?

Right before the end of your first trimester your doctor will listen to your baby's heart rate, this is to make sure the baby is doing alright. The wives tale goes, if the heart rate is high it is a girl and a low one is a boy.

Ever have someone tell you that you are carrying high or low and wonder what that really means?

Basically if you are carrying your baby low it is closer to your abdomen, a high baby is closer to your chest. Look at yourself in the mirror. How is your baby sitting? The old tale says that if you are carrying high it is a girl, carrying low is a boy.

Many women claim to suffer from bouts of heartburn during the pregnancy, according to the old wives tell this would mean your baby will be born with a head full of hair.

Wives tales can be a lot of fun but keep in mind these aren’t fact. Don’t go preparing your child’s room just because one of these told you, you were going to have a girl.

Halloween Pregnancy Ideas

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:19:00 +0000

Halloween Pregnancy Ideas

The minute you begin your pregnancy everything is changing, your body, your clothes sizes, even your looks. But that doesn't mean you have to skip out on your favorite holidays, like Halloween. Being pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t dress up.

If you want to get really creative you can make your own costumes, here are a few costumes that you can make just using your belly and normal clothes are:

The eyeball- This is something my husband created, all you need is a little facial paint and black clothes. This is something even a person that can't draw can have a little bit of fun with. Wear all black clothes on Halloween and paint your belly white, make the center of the eye whatever color you desire and don't forget the red veins.

Make it scary or cute, whatever fits your desire. Have a bit of fun and show off that tummy by keeping the shirt up or wear a shirt that shows your tummy. My husband got a kick out of this one and was so excited that he got to do the artwork.

Whether you are buying your costume or making them yourself, you can have fun. There are many costumes you can buy for couples or just for yourself. The Pregnancy couple may want to go as a baker and an oven, or an egg and bacon bit. Both outfits are really cute and creative, you can even make them at home if you chose too.

If you want to dress up completely but not stand out, try going as a human pumpkin. Wear a tiny green cap or make one out of felt and all orange, if you can cut a slit in your shirt for your belly to stick out. Now, paint it orange and decorate your pumpkin.

If you aren't feeling up to having a full body costume, you could always just paint the belly and proudly show it off. After all, how often will you be pregnant? Think of anything that is round: basketball, volleyball, soccer ball, a bowling ball, etc

A pea is another simple costume you can make and stay warm. Go find some green jeans or sweats and a green sweatshirt. Keep the shirt up or cut a hole in it to make your little pod stick out and paint it all green.

Don't forget witches were mothers too, so if you've always dressed as a witch for Halloween you don't have to stop the tradition. This year go as a pregnant witch or maybe a witch holding a pumpkin. Use that belly!

A Bun in the oven- Get a medium or small box, cut it out so that you can wear it over your shoulders. Make room for your head to slide through. Decorate it with paints like an oven. Cut open the front of the box so that it will open and close. On the outside of the box write, “Bun in the Oven.” Paint your belly a light beige for all to see the little baby bun.

Eating Right During Your Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:12:00 +0000

Eating Right During Your Pregnancy

You already know it is important to eat a well-balanced diet, but it is even more important when you are pregnant. Keep in mind now you are eating for two. Whatever you eat, the baby eats as well. In fact the baby actually takes your nourishments so you must eat enough for both of you. The healthier you eat the better it is for the pregnancy and you.

Make sure you are getting enough of the food you need daily. It takes 4-6 servings of dairy a day for a healthy pregnancy, this can include some cheeses, milk, yogurt. This provides the baby with calcium which it’ll need to develop healthy growing bones. Adding extra calcium to your diet wouldn’t hurt you either, especially your teeth and bones.

Don’t forget about your fruit and vegetable servings. Lots of green is always a good choice, so are sweet potatoes. Not only will you be giving your body what it needs but you’ll start to have more energy. Try laying off the sweets for a week and replace them with healthier items and see how alive you feel.

Never miss a meal while you are pregnant, especially breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and your baby has probably been waiting since he/she woke up in the middle of the night. You may learn that if you wait so long before eating you start to feel sick, this is your body telling you to eat.

Foods to Avoid

Not all foods are safe during your pregnancy, there are a few things you should avoid eating:

- unpasteurized products- brie
- Certain fish- exotic, shark, swordfish, anything high in mercury
- Raw eggs
- Undercooked meats- lunch meats. If you are buying a deli sandwich you can ask for them to eat the meat up a little.
- Caffeine- soda, chocolate. If you find this difficult you can wean yourself off, but the less caffeine in your system the better it is for the baby.

You may also learn that your stomach won’t handle certain foods that it would before. Some of those foods may include foods that contain grease, fast foods, meat, and certain foods that have a strong odor.

If you are ever unsure of the foods you can eat you can ask your doctor for a list of items to avoid during pregnancy. They’ll be more than happy to share this with you. Eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to cut out all the fun in your life, you can still treat yourself from time to time. Go out and get a frozen yogurt or a smoothie.

While you are making sure you get enough to eat throughout the day, that doesn’t mean neglect your fluid intake. You’ll need lots of water and juices from here on out. The baby will thank you later. Who knows, you may discover that you really enjoy eating healthier and continue it even after the pregnancy.

Is Nicole Kidman pregnant?

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:10:00 +0000

Is Nicole Kidman pregnant?

GLAMOROUS Australian star Nicole Kidman is rumoured to be expecting another child with her husband Keith Urban, a year after the birth of daughter Sunday Rose.

Nicole Kidman was photographed in New York this week in a satin dress that accentuated her stomach.

As Kidman and country singer husband Keith Urban look for a new home in Sydney, the US entertainment industry has been awash with pregnancy rumours.

"They are obviously very, very happy with family life," said one source.

But representatives for the couple talked down speculation Sunday Rose, who turns one in July, could soon have a sibling.

Kidman pregnancy rumours growing in New York

ANOTHER day, another burst of baby rumours for Nicole Kidman.

The actor was photographed strolling through New York's Greenwich Village on the weekend wearing dark glasses, a cap and an airy lavender dress that hugged her stomach.

Nicole Kidman and her husband, country rocker Keith Urban, have consistently laughed off pregnancy rumours since they surfaced last month.

The couple have an adored daughter Sunday Rose, who turns one next month, and Nicole Kidman shares custody of her adopted children Isabella and Connor with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.

Nicole Kidman, who turns 42 on Saturday, stoked speculation that she may be expecting another child by failing to show up at the recent Tony Awards. Her no-show was put down to filming commitments with her new film, Rabbit Hole.

Nicole Kidman is planning an Australian Christmas this year when she accompanies Urban on his tour Down Under in December.

The Grammy-winning country singer confirmed the family would stay in the country for the holidays after he wraps his tour in Brisbane on December 18.

Urban's Escape Together tour rolls into Rod Laver Arena on December 12. His latest album Defying Gravity was a No.1 hit in the US.

Picking a Name Before Your Pregnancy Ends

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 12:06:00 +0000

Picking a Name Before Your Pregnancy Ends

Choosing a name is one of the most important things you'll have to decide on during your pregnancy. Pick a name that your child is going to love, not something he/she will hate or be made fun of. There are a lot of things to consider when naming your child.

The Sound of the Name - Names can be hard to pronounce sometimes, not just for other people but for your child as well. Don’t choose a name you have a hard enough time saying, imagine how hard it’ll be for your own child to learn. The spelling can also be a cause for concern. Your child must learn how to spell his/her name, you don’t want a name that has over 20 letters long. Do you think you’d be able to learn to spell that in kindergarten? Think about your child first, sure the name might sound great but make sure it isn’t something that is going to be really hard. This doesn’t mean don’t choose a name that is unique, that is what makes your child stand out. But make sure that is what you really want.
Origin - The origin of a name can help you pick out what name you like best, this also adds a piece of history to your child. Giving your son/daughter an Italian name because their great grandfather originally came over from Sicily will mean a lot to the family. Not to mention your child will always know they’re Italian. This doesn’t mean you can only choose names that go with your heritage, there may be a name out there that belongs to your child that isn’t.
Gender names - Gender naming is another important issue. Think about if the name sounds like a boy’s name or a girl’s name. There are names that can go either way such as Sam, Erin or Angel.
Meaning - Meaning can be another factor when choosing a name, learn what that name means before you pick it. You might want something that means something dear to you. My daughter’s name means pure hope, I thought it was a lovely gesture and it sounded beautiful. Think about choosing a positive meaning for your child, this is the first thing that will be associated with him/her the moment he/she is born.
Nicknames - When picking out a name, don’t forget that your child may end up being called by a nickname because of the name you have chosen. If this is something you don’t want, try picking a name that can’t be shortened. But don’t be surprised if it happens anyways. If you don’t mind, try picking out a name that’ll have a nickname you enjoy.

Last but certainly not least, remember children can be cruel think about the initials your child will have. You don’t want something that it’s initials mean something else. You want your child to be proud of his/her name. Not everyone is going to like the name you have chosen for your child, but as long as it is something you like, your child will like it too.

Fun Ways to Announce Your Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 12:01:00 +0000

Fun Ways to Announce Your Pregnancy

Whether you just found out you’re pregnant or you’ve known for a few months, announcing your pregnancy to family and friends can be a lot of fun. Some may want to wait until a certain time during their pregnancy, while others want to call everyone immediately after finding out themselves.

Telling The Father

Have a romantic dinner for two with candle lights, it may be your last time for a while, between morning sickness and raising your little one. Serve up baby carrots, baby back ribs and anything else you can think as baby. At the end, pour apple juice instead of wine and hand him a present. Inside you can have a tiny baby bib that says, “I heart My Daddy”
or a pair of baby booties.

At the end of the week if he hasn’t figured it out yet, prepare the big gift. Have a large teddy bear sitting at the dinner table in the seat beside him, make sure there is a bib wrapped around him and maybe a sign that says Hi Daddy. You can also see how long it takes him to figure it out. Go to the dollar store and pick up a bunch of small baby items, a bib, rattle, bottle, booties, etc. For a week, leave an item laying around the house where he is bound to find them.

If you can’t tell the father right away because he’s away on business, or deployed try sending him a care package. Inside the box place a few baby items, everything in blue and pink and a baby naming book in the center. Place a note on top of the book with, “I need a name soon, I’ll be here by June.” Or whenever the baby is due.

Telling Family and Friends

Show up to a family gathering wearing a shirt that announces your state. These days there are a ton of shirts out there with clever sayings, “Baby on Board,” “A Bun in the Oven,” or something related to the pregnancy. The moment you walk in or take off your jacket everyone will figure it out without you ever having to say a word. Now, get ready for the tears and excitement. You’ll be answering a ton of questions.

If this is the first grandchild, you may want to get a bracelet link for your mom that reads, “#1 Grandma” or grandparent t-shirts. This will not only be a great present for them but something they will cherish and love forever.

If you already have children you may want to call the grandparents up and tell them that the next Christmas they may want to add one more to the list.

No matter when you spread the news it can be a lot of fun, just think creative and let the pieces fall. You may even want to try catching all of it on video, so think ahead and prepare for the BIG moment, and I’m not meaning the birth.

Breastfeeding While Pregnant

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 11:54:00 +0000

Breastfeeding While Pregnant

Being pregnant doesn’t mean you have to stop breastfeeding your child. Long ago doctors believed it actually took nutrients away from the baby inside you, however that is not the case.

Even today we have people that believe this and they will argue with you the entire time. Only you can decide if you should stop breastfeeding your toddler or not. Don’t let someone else make that decision for you.

1. Stopping or Weaning

If you do plan on stopping because you are pregnant, make sure it is for the right reasons. If your child has reached a certain age, it might be best. But never just yank it away from them. Your child could wonder why it is being taken away. Wonder if they had done something or become discouraged about the new baby coming.

Some children decide to wean themselves, which is a big help to you and you won’t feel so guilty about it. You can choose to do it cold turkey, or slowly wean him/her off. Cold turkey can have some bad results. Try limiting his/her feeding times to certain hours and gradually as time passes take away more. Your child will quickly stop on his/her own and it won’t be a traumatic event.

2. Reasons to Stop

A few reasons you might want to stop breastfeeding may be if you are feeling constantly drained of energy. Or maybe your child has started to bite. Sometimes your milk will just dry up, this is your body’s way of telling you that it has had enough and to take a break. Mastitis could play a big role in making you stop immediately as well. Mastitis is an infection in the breast when it isn’t expressed enough and gets engorged.

3. Continuing to Feed

If you do plan on continuing to breastfeed while you are pregnant, talk with your doctor about it. Not all the time will the doctor agree with your decision. Sometimes he/she may see something in your health that you don’t. Listen carefully and find out if it is a health reason or simply his/her own belief. If it is the doctors belief, you can always seek out one that agrees with you.

Being pregnant is hard enough at times, knowing you have someone in your corner will only relieve the stress. Don’t be surprised if your family and friends want to say something about it and they will probably give you all kind of advice on how to stop and what they’ve read.

Nicely explain to them it is your decision and you’ll do what you think is best for your children. Try finding a support group in your area so you have someone to vent to or talk about these issues. Check out if there is a La Leche League near you or online that you can join.

Remember that as long as you take proper care of yourself and your body, you’ll be able to safely breastfeed while pregnant.

Pregnancy’s Beautiful Stretch Marks

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:47:00 +0000

Pregnancy’s Beautiful Stretch Marks

The minute you find out you are pregnant you know things are going to be changing, from your waist size to those little stretch marks that pop up. Stretch marks are exactly that, red or purple marks left in your skin because it has stretched. The most common areas for it to appear is the buttocks, thighs, stomach, breasts and even arms. 90 percent of all pregnant women will get them, whether they get a lot or a few depends on the body and how they are preventing them.

During your pregnancy try to eat healthy and stay in shape. This can help to keep off any access weight. The recommended weight gain for the average, 25-35 healthy pregnancy is 25-35 pounds. Make sure you drink plenty of water, staying hydrated helps keep the skin healthy. The moment your skin dries out you can begin getting stretch marks.

There are a ton of lotions out there that claim to help prevent stretch marks, such as scar serum, cocoa butter or Maderma. Make sure your skin is always moist, this helps in stretching the skin and not tearing it. There are new discoveries every day, ask your doctor what he/she recommends. Try them out yourself first and see if they work for you. This isn’t something you just put on one time during your pregnancy, you’ll have to make this a daily effort in order for it to work. That’s where most women fail, they just stop doing it.

After the pregnancy if you have any stretch marks you may still have a few stretch marks, even after all the care you took. These do fade over time, so don’t worry about the way you look. If they are unbearable to you and you’ve waited a while, you can choose to have a tummy tuck or laser removal. Make an appointment with a dermatologist to see what he/she has to tell you. You may discover that you can live with them after all.

If you’ve had one or more children your chances of getting more stretch marks will increase. Your skin has already been stretched out and you are about to do it again. Large babies and multiple babies can increase your chances of getting stretch marks too. Begin using preventing creams and lotions with vitamins A and E in them, as soon as you find out your are pregnant and try to lessen your chances of getting them.

Besides caring for your skin daily and eating right, there isn’t much you can do to prevent these beautiful pregnancy marks, however this doesn’t mean you don’t have to try. Take comfort in knowing that half the woman you know that have been pregnant probably have a mark or two, they may even have a little road map.

Think about it as you’ve just been initiated into the gang of motherhood. No woman should ever feel ashamed of her stretch marks, they may not be the prettiest thing in the world but they do represent one thing…your child. Remember that the next time you are getting disgusted by them.

A Guide To Your Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:28:00 +0000

A Guide To Your Pregnancy

The first step of your pregnancy, after seeing the little positive stick should to have it confirmed. Call immediately to have a pregnancy test done with your local doctor, you may be in luck and get in that same day or have to wait about a week or two.

Patience will become your best friend during this time or your worst enemy, waiting can become a very hard thing when you want to know for sure whether you are or aren't pregnant. More than likely you'll get a phone call a few days later to confirm it.

If you’ve been pregnant, what types of sicknesses run in your family, etc. If you can, try making sure you know all of this ahead of time, maybe even have it all down on paper so when he/she asks you are prepared. During the days or weeks leading up to this meeting you may have concerns, write them down and ask them.

Set up an appointment to see your OB/GYN or midwife as soon as possible, chances are you'll be meeting his/her staff before you ever meet them. This is the first appointment where your doctor/midwife will want to know all your medical history.

Believe it or not doctors are there to help you, and they’ve been asked every question you can possibly think of. Before leaving your doctor may even give you a bag full of goodies all about being pregnant.

Make sure that you get your prenatal vitamins, they are very important during pregnancy. If for some reason you can’t take them, talk with your doctor he/she may be able to prescribe a lower dosage or something else.

Read these, they may prove beneficial and not to mention they’ve got coupons. Your doctor will either give you another appointment or have you set one up before leaving. There are some great books out there if you are really worried about what will happen next or how birth is going to be, check them out at your local library.

You’ll get your first ultrasound, also known as US around week 20, this is normally when you find out what s3x the baby is. However some doctors like to call it safe and give you an ultrasound around 10-12 weeks just to make sure the baby is in the proper location and all is going well. You will also be asked to take an orange drink that you must drink in five minutes. You’ll wait around for an hour to three hours, at which point your blood gets drawn and you can go home. The test determines if you have or have a chance of getting gestational diabetes.

At first your appointments will be about 4 weeks apart until you hit the 36 week and at that point it’ll be two weeks later and a week later after that until the baby is born. By now you should be preparing to have the baby. Yes, I’m sure you’ll have some anxiety towards the end of your pregnancy. You’ve went this far, it’s time you see your reward.

Staying Fit During Your Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:23:00 +0000

Staying Fit During Your Pregnancy

Keeping fit during your pregnancy is great for you, not only will it help you keep your body toned but it also can help when it comes time to push that baby out. Every pregnant woman wants to be able to go back to her pre-pregnancy weight after the baby is born, but the only way to do that is to make sure you can.

By excising or working out every day you are making sure you don’t add fat to your body. During labor it’ll be much easier to push the baby if you’ve been strengthening your leg and stomach muscles. Who knows, it may even make labor a little bit shorter.

Plus when you are tired and just feeling a little blue, just by exercising you actually increase your energy.

Here are a few quick things you can do to stay fit during pregnancy, without really having to break out a sweat. I’m sure by now you’ve heard of yoga, this is a very good thing for you to practice, especially if you haven’t always been in the best of shape.

Not to worry, there are beginning levels here, you don’t have to jump into the human pretzel right away. Try purchasing a set of small weights that you can use throughout the house, like hand weights or wrist weights that can use while walking. Instead of just laying on the couch while you rest you can be lifting small weights.

Get a chair and try doing a couple crunches, 5 to 10 in the beginning to make sure you don’t pull anything. Don’t worry you can always add to it as the weeks go on.

Try running, walking or jogging outside. Not only will this boost up your energy but it’ll also help get your spirits up, especially if you’ve been inside all day. Remember, if you are going for a walk to always bring a drink with you.

You don’t want to dehydrate out there. Always make sure that you are wearing comfortable shoes, before you leave the house. If you didn’t always run, ask your doctor if you can. Sometimes a doctor may suggest you walk around the block at first and increase it from there, if you didn’t always do it before you were pregnant.

If you can you may want to try going for a swim or try bicycling. However, if you find that you are accident prone you may want to stay away from the bike. A bike accident is something that can easily happen, even when you’ve always road a bike.

Swimming can help you relax and stay cool. Take a dip in the pool near you, they may even have a swim class for pregnant women in your area. This would be a great way to meet other moms.

Whenever you are doing exercises, make sure you aren’t overdoing it. If you believe you could be stop immediately and take a break. You never want to do anything that’ll harm the pregnancy.

Morning Sickness During Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:14:00 +0000

Morning Sickness During Pregnancy

Morning sickness can be one of your first signs that you are pregnant. This doesn’t always mean that you’ll get sick only in the morning. This can happen, morning, noon or night. It will normally occur in the first trimester or your pregnancy and end by the second, this isn’t the case in all pregnancies though. Some women will continue with it until the very end of term.

Nausea can happen immediately or you may get lucky and have no morning sickness at all. No one is for certain what causes morning sickness, it is a change in the body that happens during pregnancy. Many women seem to get sick after taking the prenatal pill, try taking it later in the day. Your doctor may even advise you to take some other form of vitamin instead of the pill. Always find out first with your doctor before taking anything new or taking yourself off medication, even prenatal pills.

Smells is another thing that seems to cause morning sickness. Imagine walking into a restaurant and the first thing you smell is grease. Yes, this can easily set it off. Bad smells and even certain tastes, get the feel for your body during the pregnancy and figure out just what sets it off. Knowing how to avoid it, can make a world of difference.

Dry cereal is another good thing to eat, your stomach may just be a little bit hungry and trying to tell you. There are a few ways to minimize the sickness, but they don’t work for everyone. Try keeping crackers on hand, I prefer saltines for some reason. Try drinking some ginger ale, it calms the stomach down.

Remember to take small portions, this way you know if it is all going to come up or not. Sleeping is another good way to avoid it, however it will wake you up. Keep yourself hydrated, not only can this make your sickness come but you can become dehydrated and need to go to the emergency room if you aren’t careful.

Try slowing down a bit, sometimes your body is just exhausted from all the errands you are running and it tries to give you a break. Listen to your body, take a nap, relax and watch a television show…take some time off.

A few reasons you should go to your doctor would be if you begin losing weight because you are constantly sick. If you become dehydrated, faint, look pale, confused or throw up more than four times in a day. Your doctor may be able to prescribe something that will stop it.

If you are looking for remedies for your morning sickness, you may try buying some pregnancy pops. Or if you’d prefer to stay away from the sweets you can wear a bracelet designed to stop morning sickness, they are just like the motion sickness bracelets. They don’t work for everyone but they could work for you.

Concerns During Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:09:00 +0000

Concerns During Pregnancy

There is nothing more stressful than to have something go wrong during pregnancy. It doesn’t matter if it is your first time being pregnant or your fourth. There are many things to be concerned about during your pregnancy and it is easier when you know what they are.

Stomach pain or cramping- During the pregnancy it may be hard to decipher the difference between a growing pain and an actual stomach pain/cramping. However, if you do get a pain of any sort rest. After a few minutes if it doesn’t subside, call your doctor and describe the pain to him. Don’t worry about it if you find out you only had gas or were having Braxton hicks contractions, at least you know everything is okay with pregnancy.
Vaginal bleeding- This may also known as spotting, but make sure that is what is going on. There is a difference between actively bleeding and spotting. Spotting is lightly bleeding kind of like your period, the blood can be red, pink or even brown. If you are bleeding actively with any pain call your doctor, if you can’t get a hold of him go immediately to the emergency room. Bleeding can be a number of things from implantation, ectopic pregnancy, labor, infection or even miscarriage. Always let your doctor know, so everything can be ruled out, you’ll feel better too.
Dehydration- While you are pregnant it is easy to become dehydrated, especially if you have morning sickness or just don’t drink those 8 glasses of water. If you find yourself pale, dry mouth or dizzy, you could be dehydrated and should be seen by a doctor. Dehydration can cause premature labor and/or distress on the pregnancy.
Gush of liquid- This could mean you are in labor and that your water broke, however if it isn’t close to the time of birth it can be something else. Call your doctor immediately and head for the emergency room.
Painful urination - Could be a urinary tract infection, also known as UTI. This can be easily treated with medication or by drinking lots of fluids and cranberry juice. A urinary tract infection isn’t something to be embarrassed about, it is very common amongst pregnant women. The growing belly pushes against your ureters and makes it harder for it to flow through. Which of course can cause infection. Another way to find out if you have it is if you have a foul odor when you pee.

Never fear calling because you are afraid of waking the doctor up or because you feel silly. Being silly might just save the baby. While you are worrying, you are only causing stress on you and the baby, find out what’s wrong and relieve your anxiety. Pregnancies can be scary enough, there’s no reason to add to it. If you are ever in doubt or have a concern talk with your doctor. It is common that first time moms are worried about many pains that they feel.

Stress Free Holidays During Your Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:05:00 +0000

Stress Free Holidays During Your Pregnancy

Women already feel the pressure of having that perfect holiday for her family, which is probably why she decides to do 100 things at a time...stressing herself out in the end. However, she doesn’t have to have a stressful holiday.

Holidays can already be a stressful time, and mix that with pregnancy and hormones and you can be asking for trouble. I’m not meaning for just the pregnant woman either, anyone and everyone in her path.

There are five ways to make your holidays something to remember.

Choosing Your Activities -During the holiday season you are sure to be invited to a couple of parties. It isn’t necessary to attend every one of them. Decide which ones you’ll enjoy the most, maybe two or three and explain to the rest you’ll miss going but need some rest.
Mark the Dates -Go out and buy yourself a calendar for the holidays. Post it up on the wall and start marking dates. You won’t need to stress out because you won’t be double booking yourself. This can also help you in preplanning, mark the day you should send out the holiday cards or buy certain items.
Choose Where You’ll Go -Whether you want to stay home for the holidays with your own family or go across country to be with the entire family the decision should be yours. Don’t feel guilty telling them you won’t be making it this year, explain you need rest and traveling isn’t very helpful. You may even want to extend an invitation for the family to come to your house instead.
Shopping Time -Shopping during the holiday season can be a nightmare that you don’t need to attempt while pregnant. It’s safer to just stay home during some of those sales. Instead you may want to try shopping online, not only will you be home but you can relax. The only thing you’ll need is a credit card and let your fingers do the work. You can even do all your holiday shopping early and have it delivered right to your front door. All you need to do is wrap it up and hide it in the closet.
Designating Jobs -If you’ve decided to have the holidays at your house you can still have a good time. Don’t forget that asking for help is okay. No one expects you to do it all on your own. Do you really have to cook the ham, bake the potatoes, make a cake, clean the house and set up the tree all by yourself? Designate others to help, they'll feel happy you’ve given them something to do instead of sit around waiting while they watch you do it all.

Remember the holiday season is all about making memories that’ll last. You may be pregnant but you don’t have to sit at home the whole time stressed out, instead you can actually enjoy yourself with these helpful tips. Don’t forget to take a little time off to do something just for you, after all you deserve it.

Preparing the kids for Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 00:19:00 +0000

Preparing the kids for Pregnancy

The moment you find out your pregnant you want to tell everyone, including your kids. The way you tell your child depends on their age, an older child will understand what it means when you tell them you are pregnant or that they are going to be a brother or sister soon. However, a toddler is a little bit harder to explain this too.

1. Their Reactions

Don’t be shocked if at first your child acts distant, many children will respond to the news in their own way. One of your children may even start to pretend to be pregnant right along with you, mimicking everything you do. While another child may tell you they don’t want you to bring home a new baby. These are all common reactions to the news, the way you handle it will determine the outcome.

2. Showing them They are Important too

A good way to do this is to make sure they get something the moment the baby is born, some have had the doctors give the sibling their own baby doll when their sibling was born. Try reading children’s books with them to show them that it’ll be a good thing. Dad can always spend some one on one time with them.

3. Involving Your Child in the Pregnancy

This is their baby too, have your children accompany you to a few of the doctor visits. Let them hear the heartbeat of their little sister or brother. Watch their faces light up when they see the baby for the first time on the screen. There are many ways you can involve them, you can encourage them to help you decide on a name. Try letting them feel the baby kick for the first time by placing their hand on your swollen belly.

Think about your child’s personality when it comes time to tell them. You know your child best. They may enjoy being sent little clues like you did with daddy, or they may just want you to tell them straight out. You could get lucky and have them walk in the room while you are announcing it.

This happened to me when I was expecting child number four. I had just walked out of the bathroom waving the wand in the air to show my husband. I had no clue that my kids had walked into the room until I heard them screeching I was pregnant.

If your child seems reluctant to want another child in the home you may want to find out why. The only way to find out what’s bugging him/her is to ask. Maybe they are just scared that you are going to stop loving them, or that everyone will forget about him/her when the baby is born.

It’s easy to prepare the siblings for your new arrival as long as you involve them in the pregnancy along the way. They’ll be happy to be part of it and feel more of a connection to the baby when he/she is born.

Kari Byron Pregnant ???

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Thu, 28 May 2009 05:25:00 +0000

Kari Byron Pregnant

Kari Byron had announced her pregnancy in February 2009 and now is doing the best what she does - busting Myths. And this time its the Pregnancy Myths which she is busting. Do Pregnant Women Carve Pickles and Ice Cream?

Kari Byron is a San Francisco-based artist and television host, best known for her featured role on the Discovery Channel show MythBusters. On the show MythBusters, Byron is featured along with fellow Build Team members Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara and also assists co-hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman in testing the plausibility of various myths.

Once Kari Byron had done an interview and photo shoot with popular men’s magazine FHM. In the photo shoot, dressed in a red bra and lab coat, Byron recreated the popular "Diet Coke and Mentos" experiment that sparked the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment on the show.

Kari Byron is 34 years old and is married to artist Paul Urich.

Kari Byron, who is on the Build Team on Mythbusters, is pregnant. What better opportunity for her to debunk some pregnancy myths? She was interviewed by Pregnancy 360 about some common myths — salt cravings, determining the child’s sex, and others — and did a great job debunking them.

I’m not surprised. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her twice: once at TAM, and once in Alberta when I moderated a panel discussion with the Build Team. She’s even smarter, sassier, and funnier in person than on the show, and I’m glad this article got published. Spread the word, and let’s help stamp out some of these ridiculous myths about pregnancy.

Kari Byron Is Pregnant

Evidently Kari Bryon of Mythbusters got laid recently because she’s pregnant. From the picture above, things look to be moving along smoothly (check out that boob salad).

She was also featured on Pregnancy 360, where they did a cute little piece on pregnancy myths. The only problem is that the article is loaded with stupid shit like “do pregnant bitches crave pickles and ice cream?”

How about some real questions like “Can a pregnant chick still clean the house and make dinner?”, “Do pregnant chicks get really horny?”, and the one that Robert Schimmel put into my mind, “Is it true that if you do a pregnant chick doggystyle, you’ll go to Hell?”. All of these are viable and useful questions, but maybe they’re being saved for an actual episode of Mythbusters.

Pregnant at 66

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:14:00 +0000

Pregnant at 66

A 66-year-old pregnant British woman has defended her right to have a baby at her age. Elizabeth Adeney, who is believed to be around eight months pregnant after undergoing fertility treatment, is expected to become Britain's oldest mother when she gives birth.

The divorcee has told reporters that her pregnancy is her own business.

"I don't have to defend what I have done. It's between me and my baby and no one else," she told the Sunday Mirror newspaper.

"It's a very private thing and I don't expect anyone else to understand it.

"It doesn't interest me that I'm going to be the oldest mum in the country.

"It's not my physical age that is important; it's how I feel inside. Some days, I feel 39. Others, I feel 56.'

Ms Adeney, of Lidgate, Suffolk, runs a plastic fastenings factory. A friend told the Daily Mirror that she unsuccessfully tried to have a baby five years ago. The UK's oldest known mother was 62 when she gave birth in 2006.

The oldest mother in the world is believed to be an Indian woman who gave birth at the age of 70 in 2008.

66 is too old to be a mum

The world was shocked when Rosanna Della Corte had a baby at 63. She was bombarded with hate mail, threatening phone calls and even the Vatican said it was "an affront to God".

She is one of the few women who know what Britain's oldest mum-to-be is going through. But surprisingly, she has few words of encouragement for 66-yearold Elizabeth Munro.

Rosanna says: "I heard about this case and obviously this woman has her reasons but I think 66 is too old - 63 is as late as you should leave it.

"If the child reaches 20 then she will be 86 years old and I think there is a big difference between 83 and 86."

Divorced Elizabeth - 67 in July - is eight months pregnant after receiving IVF treatment in the Ukraine.

She will give birth 15 years after Rosanna caused uproar by having her son Riccardo in 1994 with the help of fertility expert Prof Severino Antinori.

But Rosanna wouldn't have it any other way. Speaking from her home in Canino, 60 miles north of Rome, she says: "I don't regret a thing. I am so very, very happy - although to be honest it does get harder the older you get."

Although she disapproves of Elizabeth's decision, Rosanna does have some words of advice.

"She will be criticised as I was criticised but the best thing to do is ignore people and don't listen to them. The only thing that matters is the happiness you get from the child and the happiness the child gets from you", Rosanna says.

Kelly Clarkson Pregnant

Kelly Clarkson to become a mother

Don’t hold your breath if you are waiting for Kelly Clarkson to become a mother. The American Idol winner recently told USA Today: “Oh, my God, I have do desire. I would not be a good mother.”

She continued: “I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids — because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But…my job is too selfish.”

Her job has made dating tough, too, but Kelly Clarkson doesn’t rule out marriage… if the right guy came along.

“I’m not against it. If I found a guy who could handle my job, that would be cool,” she says. “But I’ve dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around.”

Kelly Clarkson pregnant

Kelly Clarkson says that having a child isn’t high on her list of priorities; In fact, it might not be on her list at all! “Oh my God, I have no desire,” the 26-year-old songstress tells USA Today. … If you don’t want kids don’t say it because if something ever happened and she became pregnant than its a whole different story. She is young and although they may not be in the cards for her now…

Don’t hold your breath if you are waiting for Kelly Clarkson to become a mother. The American Idol winner recently told USA Today: “Oh, my God, I have do desire. I would not be a good mother.”

Is Jennifer Aniston Pregnant?

“The truth is this whole pregnancy thing is just pure gossip. Jennifer Aniston is not pregnant. There’s no confirmation of this rumor from Aniston’s camp. Although Jennifer is seeing a Dr. Kerr possibly about fertility matters..”

lalate.com : Jennifer Aniston is pregnant with John Mayer’s baby claims another magazine has reported. Life and Style Magazine has reported that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant with John Mayers baby.

The Post Chronicle: Jennifer Aniston is not confirmed to be pregnant - and there is no reason to believe that she is pregnant right now. The latest story hitting newsstands everywhere is that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are ecstatic over their “baby news”, but there’s no news at all.

So is she or is she not pregnant?

Bristol Palin on Teen Pregnancy: 'Wait 10 Years'

Governor Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol Palin gives her first television interview since the birth of her baby boy Tripp, opening up to Fox News' Greta Van Susteren about motherhood and offering her personal views on abstinence.

"[Teens] should just wait ten years, it would just be so much easier," Bristol Palin said about teen pregnancy. As for abstinence, Bristol Palin says she supports it but sometimes finds it "unrealistic."

During her interview with Greta on "For the Record," Governor Palin showed up with her new grandson. "Everyone helps out," the new mom said of her big family. "I never would've thought I would've been a mom [a year ago] and I never thought my mom was gonna be chosen for vice president.

Bristol Palin Speaks Out

ABC's Teddy Davis and Sara Just report: Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, told Fox News in her first interiew since giving birth that she would like to be an advocate against teen pregnancy.

"Everyone should wait 10 years," Palin said. "I hope people learn from my story."

"It's so much easier if you're married, have a house and career. It's not a situation you want to strive for."

The announcement of Bristol Palin's pregnancy made headlines last summer just days after Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., selected her mother as his running mate for the Republican presidential ticket. Bristol Palin gave birth to a son, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, on Dec. 28, 2008.

Bristol Palin knocked down speculation that her mother's political views played a role in her decision about how to handle the unexpected pregnancy. "It was my choice to have the baby," the 18 year old said. "It doesn't matter what my mom's views are on it. It was my decision."

Bristol Palin described to Fox's Greta Van Susteren the moment when she, her boyfriend, Levi Johnston, and another friend told her parents that she was pregnant. She described that moment as "harder than labor."

But this was not the only surprise Bristol Palin said she had for her mother, Alaska's youngest governor. She told Van Susteren she had only told her mother she was doing this national television interview - in which Van Susteren and crew flew to Alaska - one day prior to the taping.

Nevertheless, Governor Palin appeared at the interview, with baby Tripp in tow.

Palin, who backed an abstinence-only s*x education program when she ran for governor in 2006, told Van Susteren to expect abstinence from all teenagers was "not realistic."

"Get beyond the ideal of abstinence," the 44 year old, new grandmother said. "Hey, life happens."

"Not the most ideal situation, certainly you make the most of it," said the governor.

Bristol Palin said she is getting help from many members of her family with raising the infant while continuing her studies. She told Van Susteren she has no immediate plans to marry Levi Johnson, who she described as a 'hands on Dad." Last year, there were reports that the couple would marry in the coming year.

"Eventually we'd like to get married," the young mother said. "We're focusing on getting through school though, getting a career going."

Van Susteren asked Palin, "If you and I were talking a year ago and I said, what do you think is going to happen in your life, what do you think you would have told me?"

Bristol Palin answered, "I honestly have no idea because I never would have thought I would have become a mom. And I never would have thought my mom was going to be chosen for vice president."

M.I.A. gives birth to a baby boy

noreply@blogger.com (Blukor) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 08:35:00 +0000

M.I.A. gives birth to a healthy baby boy

News broke Monday that British pop singer and Grammy award nominee M.I.A. had given birth the previous Wednesday to a baby boy. The news was announced on the singer's MySpace page, where she wrote that the new arrival was "healthy, fine, beautiful and the most amazing thing ever on this planet."

British pop singer M.I.A., who performed at the Grammy Awards last Sunday despite experiencing labor contractions, has given birth to a baby boy, she said on her MySpace page.

The unnamed baby was born on Wednesday, and is "healthy, fine, beautiful and the most amazing thing ever on this planet," according to her Web posting on Saturday.

The baby's father is musician Benjamin Brewer, son of Canadian liquor scion Edgar Bronfman, chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group. The location was not disclosed.

M.I.A., 31, whose real name is Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, was born in Britain but raised in Sri Lanka, where her father agitated for an independent Tamil state. She achieved fame with her second album "Kala," a cross-cultural mishmash of beats, slogans and lyrical drama. Her ubiquitous single "Paper Plane," which incorporates elements of an obscure Clash track, received a Grammy nomination for record of the year.

M.I.A. officially becomes mother to baby boy

One of the highlights of this year's Grammys was watching the very pregnant Maya Arulpragasam, aka M.I.A., perform on stage. In fact, her baby's due date was the night of the event, which could have been a potential problem, if you know, she actually had the baby on her due date.

Luckily for all of us she didn't, so we got to see her performance with Jay-Z, Kayne, and Lil Wanye, and as of Feburary 11th, she is the mother of a healthy baby boy. The child's father is M.I.A.'s fiancee, Exit frontman/Green Owl Records founder Benjamin Bronfman.

Jennifer Hudson is pregnant ???

Is Jennifer Hudson pregnant? Correct me if my memory fails but she was also rumored pregnant the past year, didn't she? Jennifer Hudson's pregnancy is pure speculation at the moment. No confirmed reports. But yes Jennifer Hudson looks heavy and big in her photo during the super bowl 43. She could be pregnant. If so then probably the father is her boyfriend David "Punk" Otunga. I will keep you posted for any progress on this rumor.

Rumors Abound: Is Jennifer Hudson Pregnant?

Again the gossip-y whispers are buzzing around Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson. She's pregnant -- this rumor is sprouting out from nowhere. This gossip has been going on since October last year and the rumor-mongers were surely not right as we can see from Jennifer's flawlessly un-preggy figure from last Grammy's. She was also one of the awardees in the 40th NAACP Image Awards Thursday night. She looks slimmer, right?

However, Jennifer Hudson is still very okay with boyfriend David “PunK” Otunga and in fact plans to get married are brewing but still not confirmed. Her pregnancy or not is still a question that needs to be answered by her. Nothing is confirmed yet, until we hear it straight from Jennifer's agent of herself.

In the mean time, let's take a peek at Jennifer Hudson's new official video from her latest single "If This Isn't Love":

M.I.A. Pregnant: Grammy Performance

we have seen a lot of shocking outfits come out of Hollywood but rapper M.I.A., who is pregnant and due to give birth any day now, one-upped everyone at the Grammys last night.

On top of her performance, the mom-to-be was up for Record of the Year for her hit “Paper Planes.”

We are not sure exactly what look she was going for. Tell us what you think of her choice of “costumes.”

Pregnant MIA: Pregnant MIA Grammys photos

Pregnant MIA told that she was due on Sunday, February 8, the day of the Grammy Awards. However, MIA said she would go ahead and attend the Grammys and perform. MIA was confident her firstborn would be late in popping out because many people said so.

MIA wore a transparent dress by Henry Holland, a British designer. Holland’s design used circles of white and black polka dots to hide the strategic locations. MIA sang with T.I., Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne.

British rapper MIA performs at Grammys in sheer dress on baby's due date

British rapper MIA redefined maternity wear at the Grammy Awards last night as she took to the stage on her baby's due date.

The singer overlooked a traditional empire line dress in favour of a daring sheer confection that exposed most of her baby bump.

The outrageous number, by British designer Henry Holland, featured strategically placed black and white polka dot pieces.

Earlier she arrived on the red carpet in a voluminous multi-layered dress with bright blue print.

She performed with TI, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne on Swagga Like Us, which samples her hit Paper Planes and was in contention for record of the year - and won Rap Performance by a duo or group.

In a recent interview, she admitted that she was worried such a performance 'might induce labour'.

MIA has had a lot of excitement already in the past year.

She has also been nominated for an Oscar for her song O Saya from Slumdog Millionaire, which she wrote with AR Rahman.

She said: 'It was literally like day by day, you know somebody is like "You have been nominated for a Brit Award", and then it was like "You are nominated for an Oscar" and it was like... I was just really confused by it all.'

Besides dealing with all the awards hoopla, the 31-year-old is working on a new album as well as producing her new artist, Rye Rye.

MIA - who says she doesn't know the s*x of her child but calls it 'he' anyway - said the baby is already a fan of what it's been hearing.

'Every time I go for an ultra scan, the baby is like in crazy positions with legs star-shaped and stuff. It's not like in a baby position at all,' she said.

'I feel like he is used to bass lines and beats and receptive to that, which is cute.'
