More from CafeMom: This Viral Balloon ‘Birth’ Video is the Most Accurate Portrayal of Labor Ever Dr. Diana Ramos, OB/GYN and Co-Chair of the National Preconception Health and Health Care Initiative (PCHHC), confirms this, but says there are some exceptions. She tells CafeMom, “…Dancing/walking in early labor may provide relief. But if they if they are in active labor, and have an epidural that does not allow them to be standing, dancing/walking is not possible....

Most brands, including those that specifically cater to plus-size women, tend to stop at a size 22. And the only size 22 model currently signed to a major modeling agency is Tess Holliday. Sick of the lack of clothing options and representation, a group of women who all wear a size 22 and above got together and made their own fashion lookbook. title: “This Is What It S Like To Shop For Clothes At A Size 22 And Up” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-09” author: “Martin Thibault” Most brands, including those that specifically cater to plus-size women, tend to stop at a size 22....

Well, at least shopping for a new bed and redesigning her nursery will be fun. If my daughter’s potty bravado is any indication (she insists on straddling the adult toilet and hanging on for dear life — no kiddie potty for her), I don’t think she’ll need any encouragement to make the switch from crib to toddler bed. But if she does, the child development experts folks at the Seedlings Group recommend reading Sophie’s Big Bed with her to help make the transition a little smoother....

The singer divulged her biggest diet secrets to the magazine, saying that she tries her hardest to stick to a healthy eating plan. Her trick to keeping the weight off? Splurging. Now THAT is my kinda lady. While she’s trying to consume very little sugar, she confesses to occasionally eating mac and cheese. To that I say heck yes! I mean, come on — if you’re going to live a lifestyle where you’re constantly counting calories and planning your next meal, what’s the fun in that?...

However, one Twitter user found something else about the brand to be enraged by, and Twitter is both applauding her and laugh-crying over her unfiltered honesty. Start getting your shit together, Victoria’s Secret. It’s about time.

She changed that with the help of a perfect, gender-bending video. The “Break Free” video is an autobiographical depiction of her struggles with gender identity. She wrote, produced, and starred in the video after growing tired of being cast aside for roles because of her nontraditional appearance. Rose didn’t know, however, how big of an impact it would have. “I put this video out that I really intended to be therapeutic for myself and was intended to be viewed by, you know, the hundred-or-so-thousand people that are on my Facebook,” she told The Guardian back in 2014....

“Victoria, Annabelle and I want to thank our supporters as my girls have had the opportunity to develop their creativity and self-confidence over the past few years,” Greg said in a separate statement to Variety. “Their future is bright. While it is disturbing to me that anyone would find inappropriate pleasure in our video skits, I deeply appreciate YouTube’s concerns for my family and I could not be happier with having had this remarkable experience....

Eyebrows: Basically, bigger brows mean bigger sex drive. Sparse brows mean you’re more spiritual than sexual. Eyes: People with light-colored eyes are easily sexually satisfied and don’t attach sex with love. They enjoy hookups. Dark eyes mean deep passion and a preference for forming lasting attachments slowly over time. They like intensity and variety in bed. Nose: People with snub noses prefer romantic sex, most likely missionary style. They’re not into the kinky stuff....

Towards the end of the gathering, the little girl ended up sitting next to me. So we’re sitting there, chillin’, and she was doing something cute with her large red bib, when I cooed, “Aren’t you a good girl?” Her mother — a very nice woman, by the way, don’t get me wrong — leaned over and said, calmly but firmly, “We don’t use the term ‘good girl.’ " In New York City, the land of extreme-parenting, there’s about a million different ways one could go wrong around a child in the eyes of the hyper-vigilant parent, and I had just bumped smack dab into one of them....

What? That’s ludicrous, you say? Who would even think of such a thing? Apparently the folks at Baby Names World, the baby naming component of Parents Connect. They have Bacon listed as a possible moniker for a little boy, with the meaning “Preparer of seller of pork.” And we thought bacon jumped the shark with the ice cream. Their only evidence that this is a good idea seems to be Sir Francis Bacon, you know, the guy conspiracy theorists think was the real Shakespeare....

“I went 0 for 3 on easy babies. There was a lot of colic and crying and ear infections and food allergies and little-to-no sleep,” the blogger mom wrote on Facebook. “My tubes are tied, just in case you’re wondering how much I loved it.” Harrell admits that during these draining nights, she felt like a failure and questioned what was wrong with her as a mom. “THREE hard babies?...

According to Serina Brueggeman, the idea behind the grown-up “cake smash” photo shoot was simple: “I wanted to do something to show that turning 40 doesn’t mean you can’t still be sassy. You can still totally be cute and do something fun and lighthearted to celebrate.” In addition to ending up with some photos that she “really loves” and that totally capture her personality, Serina shares that the pre-shoot process was also part of the fun....

I posted a photo of our 13-year-old doing her end of the month calculations. She handles our household grocery budget each month. I was shocked at how many messages I got telling me she was too young to have so much responsibility. They labeled me a lazy mom and I took it as a compliment (though I’m not sure that’s how it was meant lol). I’m purposefully lazy and my kids are thriving because of it....

For a year and a half, a group of sociologists looked at all the hassle moms go through to put a nutritious meal on the table. They followed women from all walks of life as they went grocery shopping and as they cooked (or tried to cook) dinner for their families. “Cooking is at times joyful,” their report says, “but it is also filled with time pressures, tradeoffs designed to save money, and the burden of pleasing others....

My way of coping with that shame and embarrassment was to hide.” The shame also took a toll on her mental health, giving her anxiety and making her think she would live a “miserable life alone....

When she knocked at the door, she was taken by a stranger up some stairs into a small, dirty office. There, bags were brought out from a back room for her inspection. She looked over Louis Vuitton satchels, Valentino totes, and a Yves Saint Laurent bowler bag before finally settling on an exquisitely made Chanel shoulder bag. The price? Fifty dollars. Yes, it was a knockoff, but one so expertly made that there was no distinguishing it from the real thing....

Generally speaking, I’m fine with our family’s being complete. But I’d be lying if I didn’t confess that there are times when I could imagine adding just one more little person to the mix. I suspect that if I had a spouse who was open to it, I’d be pretty easily persuaded to get pregnant again. But he isn’t, so we’re done. The interesting thing about the whole “are we done with kids” conversation is that this is one of the few marital conversations where compromise really isn’t an option....

It’s simple and, unfortunately, not something I did (sorry, kids!). But if you’re pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, it’s something you may want to consider. A new study has shown that children of women who drink at least one glass of milk per day while pregnant are more likely to be taller throughout their lives. According to Medical Daily, more than 800 women and their babies were followed over a 20-year period....
