6 Tips for Lazy Second Time Moms Oct 22nd 2012, 09:54 Don't judge and I won't judge you!  I swear, I'm a great mom, but honestly, being pregnant with any baby other than your first is a whole different ball game. You don't have time to nap or lay around and leisurely read baby name books. In fact, if you're anything like me, you barely had time to breathe, let alone nap. So here are some of the things that I figure out that I could "cheat" on and still have a healthy pregnancy, a happy older child and still maintain some reasonable amount of sanity.

Most Overdone Pregnancy Halloween Costume? Oct 21st 2012, 13:26 I was having a conversation on Facebook about this pregnancy costume that some felt was in poor taste. A commenter said it didn't bother her as much and at least it wasn't as over done as the sexy kitten. This got me thinking, which pregnancy costumes are overdone in pregnancy? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Join the conversation!

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: Second Baby Showers Are Tacky

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Second Baby Showers Are Tacky Oct 20th 2012, 09:30 The question of the second baby shower is one that doesn't go away.  Some readers are very blah in how they feel about, while others have very strong feelings.  CC is one of those posters: "I have been to far to many baby showers & I am done! Baby showers have become out of control. Not that many years ago second showers where considered tacky, tacky, tacky. ... A classy mom to be would have a get together & have friends donate to the poor, needy & sick babies of the world." Certainly there are many feelings about how to handle a second baby shower, but, despite the harsh words for second baby showers in general, I like what CC has to say about donating to others. Have you ever been to a baby shower where donations were made to charities? Tell me about them on the forum! Related: Second Baby Showers Readers Share: Does every baby deserve a shower?

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: Winter Coats for Pregnant Women

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Winter Coats for Pregnant Women Oct 19th 2012, 08:30 I know it's still only October, but the truth is, winter coat weather is just around the corner.  Plus, when you add pregnancy to the mix, it's not like you can just walk to the store and pick up a coat off the rack - or can you? Some women will decide to forgo the winter coat while pregnant, particularly if they are close to their due dates and radiating heat.  Other moms will decide that they have other options for winter coats. One mom offered: "I like layering in cooler weather even when I'm not pregnant, so I'd rather do that than buy a coat. I feel like, with multiple layers, I have more control over my body temperature, especially if I'm going in and out of the cold weather (during shopping, for example)." Which mom are you?  What's your maternity winter coat solution? Related: Winter Coats for Pregnant Women Readers Share: What I did for a winter coat in pregnancy...

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: The Five Year Pregnancy

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

The Five Year Pregnancy Oct 18th 2012, 08:36 I constantly monitor the news for pregnancy related information.  It couldn't help but catch my eye when I saw that someone called the police and reported that she'd been pregnant for five years and demanded sleeping medication. While this person probably isn't well, we certainly know she hasn't been pregnant for five years, though what woman at the end of pregnancy doesn't feel that way? Truth be told, pregnancy is an average of 40 weeks or 9 months (Okay, 10 but who is counting?). How long did your pregnancy feel? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Pregnancy Halloween Costumes Oct 16th 2012, 10:03 Halloween is only a few weeks away. Being pregnant provides you with some great excuses for an awesome costume.  If you're like me, you always want to have a great costume, but run out of time or ideas.  You could simply just buy a fun t-shirt like the one above. I found this on Etsy. I think it's really unique looking and you could get away with it for Halloween or even just a regular Maternity outfit. Making your own Halloween costume? If you want to have some time to plan for a really great pregnancy Halloween costume, you'll need to start thinking about it now. Interested in how to make a bun in the oven costume?
