Designer Maternity Delivery Gowns are a genius invention. I only wish this Girlie Gown sample had arrived for me prior to the birth of Mackenzie or Kyle! Girlie Gowns will help you look more than a little special on one of the most important days of your life - not to mention perhaps one of the most humiliating....although I must admit during the act of labor fashion was the last thing on my mind! Why not have a hospital gown to call your own? Besides the experience of looking good or at least better when you may need it most, the enjoyment you'll get over the photos for years will more than cover the $49 cost - compared to wearing those nasty raggedy gowns! Classy Mommy Approved. This gown almost makes me want to try for # 3. Save 15% with code CM15.

Bellybar Shakes are my latest food and beverage obsession. Totally scrumptious. I kid you not this sample came in the mail and I devoured my first shake within 15 minutes of opening the package. And subsequently ordered 16 more shakes from Baby Center within the hour. Bellybar Shakes are now my favorite item in the "Bellybar" product line of goodies for before, during, and after pregnancy. As a breastfeeding mama, I struggle stay hydrated and keep my caloric intake high enough to keep up my level of energy and to satisfy my 5 month old's growing body. They've got 2 flavors: chocolate and vanilla. I find both equally yummy. These shakes satisfy my cravings and quench my thirst. Even better they are about 180 calories and fortified with the elusive DHA along with fiber. Each milkshake contains 50 mg vegetarian omega-3 DHA and about 4 grams of Fiber. Love it.I think I'll be drinking these long after I stop breastfeeding as my quintessential healthy snack.
This earth friendly guide to pregnancy, childbirth, and baby care is written by none other than Dr. Greene himself.

Give it a read!

Since I'm getting prepped to deliver, I've been scooping out the "pre-packed" delivery bag options available today. I'm totally impressed with the Birth'a Bag - as this bag also doubles as oversized diaper bag that has a stylish diaper pad that you could use with or without the bag at later date!

Baby Plus is a prenatal education system that you can begin to use anytime from 18-32 weeks in your pregnancy. Baby Plus plays progressively altered versions of the maternal heartbeat, which according to scientists is the true language of the prenatal environment. I just gave Baby Plus a go as I entered my 19th week, when the babies hearing is considered developed to begin the process. Baby Plus is super easy to use and comfortable to wear. You will hear the hearbeat sound of the machine - as will of course the growing baby inside you! You can continue our normal activities, but you are supposed to wear Baby Plus 2X per day for an hour during each session. Countless testimonies exist where parents rave about the results and scientific studies show "Baby Plus" babies reach many developmental milestones sooner - not to mention that newborns seem to develop better sleeping patterns ! Give it a try!

This my favorite book on childbirth. It slants towards a natural childbirth, yet this book provides a balance of information on each possible medical intervention and the merits, pros, and cons of both the "natural" way and each intervention - from C-section to epidurals to episiotomies. I refer Henci Goer's book to anyone I meet who is considering a natural childbirth and asks me for advice. I had 2 natural childbirths in a hospital for both of my children and this book really helped me understand the goals of my birth plan and help me understand the medical interventions I might need or want depending on how my body was handling labor.
Thinking about a natural childbirth? Get inspired and empowered by reading all kinds of birth stories from those who have gone down the natural road for giving birth! You will be surprised when you read how euphoric many of these stories are....
