New Posh Mama Maternity Tees!

Posh Mama, known for their hip grandma tees, are now introducing a line of trendy maternity tees. These tees are a great true maternity fit, and come in sizes SM-XL, unlike some maternity tees that are one size fits all. We all know, one size does not fit all. These tees let everyone know what you are expecting without any words! The super cute "Casual Friday" tie tee and "Bam Bam" bow tee make great ways to reveal the sex of the baby.

A+ for Moody Mama's PJ's

I think Moody Mama's deserves an A+ for creating some great designer gowns and pj's that are great for the hospital and home. Moody Mama's Lustfall Lounge Dress with Bra is not only sexy, but very practical. This buttery soft maternity/nursing gown has all the right features including lightweight stretchy fabric, cute lace detailing on the bust and easy access nursing. Moody Mama's also has a cap sleeve PJ set in the same luscious fabric with contrasting cream lace trim. No one will ever even know your wearing nursing pj's. These maternity/nursing pj's are the most discreet pair I've ever seen. Kudos to Moody Mama's on a design job well done!

Placenta lasagna anyone?

I had heard of people using their placenta after delivery in interesting ways, but listen to the way some women are putting it to use, according to thecradle.com.

• Some women in Hollywood are using extracts from the placenta for facials. It is suppose to help rebuild cells, acceelerate tissue regeneration, and replace vital nutrients lost during childbirth.


• In some cultures, the placenta is buried after birth. A tree may be planted alongside it to represent growth of their child.


• The Tolong people of the Philippines put the placenta in a clay pot and then smoke it. Afterwards, they bury the ashes.


• Some studies show that eating placenta has benefits, including warding off postpartum depression and amping up milk production.

I was happy to let the hospital do whatever they pleased with my placenta. No placenta lasagna for me. But to each their own.

Some interesting prego facts!

I was recently reading Fit Pregnancy magazine and was surprised by some of the prego facts listed under their News To Use section. I thought I would share them with our expecting readers.

1. Water aerobics may make labor feel easier, according to a British study. Although the classes made no difference in the labor's durations, women who participate in pool-based classes during pregnancy are less likely to request pain medication during labor. -S.R. Reproductive Health

2. Being born by elective C-section at 39 weeks increases a baby's risk of health problems. Researchers say that babies delivered at 41 and 42 weeks are also at higher risk for complications. The optimal time is between 39 and 40 weeks. Thirty six percent of elective C-sections are performed before 39 weeks. -S.R. New England Journal of Medicine

3. Research suggests that expecting mothers who have low levels of vitamin D had a 28 percent chance of having a C-section compared to 14 percent of women with normal levels. It is thought that without ample levels of vitamin D, the muscles that push the baby out are weakened. -S.R The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

4. The estimated number of routine prenatal exams done annually in the U.S. is 19,869,962. -National Center for Health Statistics
