Healthy Pregnancy: Getting Some Exercise
When you’re pregnant, it’s important to take care of your body — that means getting exercise as well as following a healthy diet. So get out those comfortable workout clothes (this isn’t the time for skin-tight spandex), lace up a pair of supportive sneakers and get moving.
Healthy Pregnancy: Planning Ahead in the Kitchen
I’m due in a few short weeks. Once my baby arrives, most of my time and energy will go to him or her — at least until we get into a routine. To spare my husband and me endless nights of takeout, I’m planning ahead by stocking my fridge and freezer with some delicious and healthy foods. Here’s what’s cooking.

Healthy Pregnancy: Making Food Your Friend, Not the Enemy
No doubt, being pregnant is wonderful, but there are definitely a few things that aren’t so fabulous. Eating especially can bring on the problems, but food can also be your friend in times of need.

On Reading List: Pepsi Drops Out of School, Lead in Spices & Sanitation Report Cards, Julie said:The woman shooting for 1,000 pounds is choosing an expensive form of suicide that we're probably paying the tab on. Really, it's not that different from a mom deciding to smoke four packs a day. We all know how it's going to end. But a smoker can still go to work, etc. I'd be interested to know if that woman is on disability due to her weight and where the money comes from for her massive binges. I hate the idea of taxpayers paying her to kill herself.
