The Shannon twins are usually so classy, so I’m wondering how it came to this. (Did they read our post, 4 Reasons Your Sister Is Good for Your Health, and perhaps misinterpret the term “sisterly love”?) It is possible that the twins are trying to drum up some attention for their (alleged) new book: Rumors are swirling that a new tell-all book about the Playboy mansion is on the way....
And considering Siri is a food blogger, I guess it’s only fitting that on the day before she delivered, she tried eating a “maternity salad” to bring on labor. Well, obviously whatever the heck was in that salad worked like a charm, which made me curious about its labor-inducing ingredients. And yes, of course Siri blogged about this famous maternity salad, which is a popular item on the menu at a place called the Caioti Pizza Cafe in Studio City, California — and I have to admit, it looks and sounds pretty delish....

“Lemon is considered to be an anti-inflammatory agent, which is ‘calming’ on the body. The yellow citrus fruit is ideal to use in the treatment of gas, bloating, and nausea — all common symptoms that occur during early pregnancy,” says Rachel Albaum, a registered dietitian. The punchy yellow fruit is also packed with vitamin C — the primary water-soluble antioxidant in the body. Vitamin C consumption is also pegged to a strong, functioning immune system — protecting pregnant women from illness....
Yes, you read that correctly. Take a second to let it all sink in — if you’re like me, simply seeing the words Hummer, duck, McDonald’s, and felony in one paragraph just gave you the equivalent of an ice cream headache.

I spoke with other tattooed friends and consulted an amazing resource by writer and tattoo enthusiast Josh Squires to rank the nine most painful places to get your next work of body art. (FWIW, I think it’s worth the pain!) I have one of these and I didn’t think it hurt that much, but then again, mine’s pretty small. The problem with bicep tattoos, though, is that it’s hard to avoid rubbing it (against fabric, against the side of your body, etc....

Babies are inoculated at birth with a microbiome of bacteria from their mothers, and breastfeeding helps strengthen it even more. The microbiome is made up of “good” bacteria that crowd out bad bacteria and harmful microbes that could make baby sick. Without enough good bacteria, germs and toxins from the environment can trigger allergic reactions, inflammation, and chronic illness. Luckily, breastmilk has special components that feed the good bacteria, so breastfeeding for six months is the best way to set your baby up for a healthy life....
I kind of smiled and nodded my head and said, “Oh, that’s great!” But I can’t lie — I had to restrain myself from looking at her with a very confused/borderline disgusted expression on my face. The thought of the two of them going at it like a couple of teenagers in the back of a Chevy really made me cringe. For the life of me, I just don’t understand how pregnant women can enjoy sex....
The photo shows that a 1950s kindergarten teacher expected her students to master color recognition, be able to read and write their first name, remember their address, list the days of the week, and count out loud. (Apparently, they also had to know their dad’s first name, but not their mom’s … so that’s freakin’ sexist and annoying, but unsurprising, given the era.)

Although it’s normal for your breasts to get larger, heavier, and even a bit tender (due to extra blood and lymph fluids in the breast tissue) between the second and fifth day after giving birth, breasts should start to feel softer — even with milk production in full-gear — within the first two to three weeks. But engorgement, which is caused by the volume of milk exceeding the capacity to store it, can cause breasts to become hard and painful....

“The root problem with cracked and bleeding nipples is usually the baby’s latch,” says postpartum doula and co-founder of Baby Caravan Emily Crocker. “This is such a common problem, but if you’re having pain, you should try contacting a lactation consultant or your doula to see if they can look at the latch and offer help. Some simple adjustments in latch can make a big difference.” Your lactation consultant or doula can also check to see that a mother is using the right size pump....

Bertinelli also became a spokeswoman for the company and blogs about her weight management on JennyCraig.com, which is a good source of inspiration and motivation for the rest of us (it always helps to know that we’re not alone). The last time she wore a bikini, Bertinelli was 20....
Back in April, there was an episode on Oprah about talking to your daughters about sex and self-stimulation that made some very good points, saying that teenage girls should explore their bodies and take ownership of them. But a conversation recently erupted on Yahoo!
