Being Pregnant
This Week In “Being Pregnant”
We learned that:
- Too much weight gain in pregnancy correlates with future health problems.
- Too much weight loss postpartum correlates with immediate health problems.
- “Maybe postpartum women are supposed to be fat.”
- “True Beauty” comes from publicly condemning boozy, smoking pregnant women.
- You can make a teddy bear out of your placenta.
- Singing might ease your postpartum blues.
- Bethenny Frankel’s daughter’s name is Welsh for small mound or hill.
- You can by a 3 foot long razor to shave your pregnant, hairy ankles.
- Pregnant teens are being marketed hip maternity wear.
- Drop-sided cribs are a thing of the past.
- Birth is hard.
- If you believe the studies, more eggs and bacon might make your baby smarter; and formula might keep allergies away.
We look forward to another week of blogging soon-to-be discredited studies, celebrity encounters with paramedics and reassurances about lousy births and unshakable pounds.
Look out for the upcoming Babble feature on “getting pregnant.”
