Time magazine is reporting that a baby born prematurely in Mexico was declared dead, but came back to life… at her funeral!
The shock her parents must have felt is indescribable. According to The Associated Press, “Hidalgo state Attorney General Jose Rodriguez says the parents heard a strange noise coming from the tiny casket. Opening it up, they found her crying and very much alive.” Continue reading »
If you are looking for an excuse to feed your sweet tooth while pregnant, look no further than a recent study out of the UK.

While it has long been known that exercise is good for a pregnant woman and her unborn child, new research suggests that all exercise is not created equal. While a brisk walk or some laps in the pool may be just what the doctor ordered, the labor involved in keeping the house clean might best be avoided. For the sake of the baby, of course.

A new study out of Aberdeen Maternity Hospital found that women who were born early are more likely to go into early labor than women who were born full-term.
Researchers reviewed data from 22,343 pregnancies in Scotland that included 13,845 daughters born to 11,576 mothers over a 60 year time period. Defining preterm as births between 24 and 37 weeks and including only singleton births, researchers discovered that women who were preterm had a 60 percent increased risk of early labor. That risk went down to about 50 percent in pregnancies that followed.

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar haven’t ruled out Baby No. 20.
“We’ll just wait and see what God has in store,” says Michelle in the Feb. 8 issue of People magazine.
It’s hard to believe the couple would risk another — and another and another? — pregnancy after what they experienced with child No. 19, daughter Josie Brooklyn. She was born at 25 weeks gestation and weighed only 1 pound 6 ounces. She’s around 8 weeks old and is still in the NICU at a Little Rock hospital.
So what exactly makes the Duggars refuse to say no? TV contracts? Death-defying thrills? Continue reading »
Chances are your kid weighed a lot less at birth than you did when you were born. Scientists have found birth weights in American babies are dropping.
But even after an exhaustive study of babies born between 1990 and 2005, they don’t know why. Continue reading »
