What are you craving in pregnancy? Oct 10th 2013, 09:26 Pregnancy cravings are something that a lot of moms experience. While the old joke is always to highlight crazy cravings like ice cream and pickles, the truth is that many moms also crave fairly normal every day foods, like simple ice cream or milk, but even foods that are good for them like fruits and vegetables. When I was pregnant with my second child, I craved spicy, so not even a specific food, just a type of food.  You also hear moms craving sweet or savory. In addition to having a craving, some moms notice that their cravings shift. Perhaps you crave one thing during the early parts of your pregnancy and something else later. What did you crave?  When did you crave it? What advice you have for moms with pregnancy cravings? 6 Things You Can Do About Cravings in Pregnancy Readers Share: Pregnancy Cravings Some Pregnant Women Crave Pickles Harmful Cravings in Pregnancy Share Your Pregnancy Cravings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Who will your baby look like? Oct 9th 2013, 09:35 I will be the first to admit that my husband and I are pretty geeky when it comes to things like science and math. So when we dove head first into the gene pool of having children, we had no idea what we could expect. Would our baby look just like my husband who looked identical to his father and brother? Or would our baby look like a combination of us? Or neither? The truth is that even after having eight kids, we got a crazy mixture of genetics that could only leaving us laughing and scratching our heads. So when we stumbled across the genetics program called 23 and Me, we were intrigued. You submit your DNA samples and they give you a bunch of data. The reports are fairly overwhelming if you're new to genetics, but there were a couple of really fun tools for parents-to-be, including the ability to link our profiles and to see what the statistical likelihood was that our kids would have a given number of genetic traits given our actual DNA, not just photos or reports. What you see above is what it said our chances were in the field of eye color. Now, here's our break down for eight kids: green hazel green hazel brown blue honey hazel honey hazel black brown hazel Pretty neat trick huh? So, this is obviously not something that will appeal to most people. Many are happy with using other programs that combine photos or let you fill out profiles. If you're using one of those type services, tell me which ones and why in the comments. If you've already had your baby, how well did it work for you? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Join the conversation!

What's the scoop on c-sections? Oct 7th 2013, 23:32 Working with Lamaze International has taught me a lot of things, but one of the reasons that I chose to certify with them as a childbirth educator was the fact that they really want to talk about what the best evidence is to support moms and babies. They've created a lot of great tools over the years but most recently they've done the Push for Your Baby Campaign, the Healthy Birth Practices and now this infographic on cesareans. So what do you need in a childbirth class as a participant? Related: Which childbirth class is right for you? What are your childbirth class options?

Treats for the Breastfeeding Mom Oct 5th 2013, 16:33 I've talked before about having a basket of treats designed for a nursing moms as a gift.
