My friend is currently 26 weeks pregnant with her second daughter. Unfortunately, like her first pregnancy, she has been checked into the hospital for bed rest and will stay until the end of her pregnancy. Although she has books and craf…
Oh I know how it is. You've got a May due date (or so), and while you swore you wouldn't buy one more maternity piece, you hit January and your current wardrobe is causing actual mental anguish, you're sick of the cold, you're sick of fe…
My husband and I are having our first born, a girl, next year. I want to get him something Daddy related for Christmas this year that is sentimental but not cheesy. . . Any ideas? -E Congratulations! We love this question and there are s…
I can say, in all honestly, that there have been times when I would not have gone out out in public had I not been wearing my Spanx . That has everything to do with the way Spanx just makes everything feel so supported, both in the lift-…
Confession: I was miserable in the last trimester of both of my pregnancies. Not because I was huge and couldn't see my feet and had a person sitting on my bladder. No, I hated that I was compelled to wear really really boring maternity …
Sure, you can spend hundreds of dollars to get maternity jeans from hip labels, but the cost is exorbitant and you end up wearing them for just a few months. (Or, hopefully just a few months.) I know there are more options around now tha…
One of the most common questions we get is from people looking for gifts to celebrate a second or third-time mom . She doesn't necessarily need all new blankets and clutch toys, but still a little something to acknowledge the happy occas…
I think all mamas-to-be should try to treat themselves to a day or more of ahhhhhh before their lives change forever. Its one of those things people suggest you do -- and for good reason. So if you're up for a babymoon or a final weekend…
When I was pregnant for the first time, I developed an unhealthy affinity for those birth documentaries that had previously repelled me. Something about growing a baby myself made me want to click over and immerse myself in the gory deta…
When I think back to my pregnancies, my first thought isn't of the miracle of life or even the swollen feet and the heartburn. No, when I remember those days, my mind immediately goes to one place: The bathroom. With each child, I rememb…
I suppose if you're pregnant and avidly avoiding microwaves and runny cheeses and car exhaust, it makes sense to avoid things like parabens and phthalates too. Which is why I was intrigued by a very caring company called Nine Naturals wh…
Can you recommend a service that offers hospital bags with wonderful goodies for a new mom? I loved the goodies inside the one I received last year and now my daughter uses the bag as her 'overnight' bag for all our trips . -Christina We…
Maternity wear has come a long way in the nine years since I had my first baby, but for most of us, the local maternity shopping options are limited, and trolling the Internet for deals takes time away from napping -- an important part o…
It seems like no matter how much of the postpartum baby weight I lose, I'm still stuck with the loose belly skin. And since I'm not ready to go under the knife for a tummy tuck, I remain committed to giving topical options like Mama Mio'…
When we got this pitch in our inboxes yesterday for the GoGirl "feminine urination device" Kristen and I were like um, weird. Or no, wait...on second thought: Awesome. Because suddenly I remembered that among the many things I do not mis…
If you plan on leaving the house for any point of your 40 week pregnancy, you can't just get away with nine months of stretch-waist yoga pants and Target maternity tees. Not that I didn't try, mind you. I needed some clothes I could actu…
When I laugh out loud reading a new baby card, that's saying something--especially on the floor of the NY International Gift Show where there's oh, 600 million or so greeting cards. But hey, I should expect no less from CMP fave design s…
