Ivanka and Chelsea: Two Pregnant Women are Stumping for their Parent to become the Next US President

trump hillary

Two pregnant women are stumping for their respective parent to become the next President of the United States.

Ivanka Trump, who is expecting her third child this year with husband Jared Kushner, is seen on a relatively recent campaign ad for her dad Donald J. Trump, who is vying for the Republican nomination.

On the Democratic side, former First Daughter, Chelsea Clinton with second baby in tow in her tummy, has been a surrogate on talk shows and campaign events for her mom Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Chelsea and her husband, Melvin Mezvinsky are parents to 1-year daughter Charlotte. Ivanka and Jared are parents to 4-year old Arabella and 2-year old Joseph.

No one better say pregnant women can’t do it all. These two are incubating a human while being a formidable campaign fundraising force.

Bravo ladies! Look at them at work:

Bey drops new Video & may Announce 2nd Pregnancy 



My bestie (in my head) Beyonce just dropped her first video in a year “Formation (Dirty)”which may be a precursor to a pregnancy announcement, reports say.

The video is an ode to her hometown New Orleans and features appearances by her daughter Blue Ivy, Martin Luther King, Jr., MTV Reality TV star & NoLo dance & music personality Big Freedia and others.

The timing is perfect as the multi-platinum selling artist will be taking the stage during tomorrow’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show with Coldplay and Bruno Mars. 

Insiders report that she is preggers with her second child and may announce the news during that performance similar to the way she announced her first during the VMAs.

The reports state that she was snippy during rehearsals, smacked more than usual and has beefed up her security.

Check out the video.

OBGYN Group to Women: Plan How Many Kids You Want to Have for Life

pregnant women plan

Women need to plan how many children they intend to have their entire life, a new report from an OBGYN practitioners association recommends.

A new committee opinion released by the Association Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AGOG) says that each visit at an OBGYN must include discussion about reproductive plans for life.

The group defines “reproductive life plan” as “a set of personal goals regarding whether, when, and how to have children based on individual priorities, resources, and values.”

Each year, approximately 51 percent of pregnancies in the United States are unplanned. There are serious repercussions obviously from unplanned pregnancies, but the group understands that limited access to contraception, inconsistent use of protection, or even lack of education.

So doctor visits open up an opportune time for education.

The group recommends that  medical professionals offer contraceptive advice, share information about all available contraceptive methods, educate women on the importance of child spacing, make women aware of affordable contraceptive options and support initiatives that break down racial, socio economical and ethnic inequalities that contribute to unplanned pregnancy rates.

They also need to make sure women have an understanding about spacing pregnancies as well.

ACOG recommends that each woman think about not just a short-term plan, but a long-term roadmap as well.

Jada Pinkett-Smith and Taraji P. Henson were knockouts!

These Moms Invented a Nursing Bra that takes Anxiety out of Public Breastfeeding (WIN $75 Gift Giveaway)

11212751_10153779160232806_5188112188918363777_n

We’ve come a long way baby! As the cliche goes, necessity is the mother of invention and a group of Moms got together to create a practical solution for nursing women who don’t want to expose their skin while breastfeeding.

Maternity wear, in general, has evolved. No longer are pregnant women relegated to wear muumuus and overalls for their entire pregnancy. After baby, women who were fashionistas before becoming pregnant are no longer forced to stick with tent dresses until they get back down to her pre-pregnancy size. Our options are abundant.

What is still a bit of a challenge for many new moms is breastfeeding in public.  Part of the discomfort comes from the idea of having your side boob or tummy exposed while nursing, or having the baby pull down a nursing cover.

Thankfully, a group of inventive moms put their heads together and came up with a solution that is Undercover Mama nursing tanks. We’ve teamed up with Undercover Mama to share this fabu invention with you all.

nursing bra

The innovative strapless tanks, made of 80% cotton and 20% spandex,  clip onto any existing nursing bra or top a new mom has on,  allowing her to be  free to go out with baby without fear that a nursing break could be uncomfortable.

The Undercover mama nursing tank is a solution to the versatility that is needed for public nursing. No more fear of exposed skin!

This is not your mom’s nursing tank.

To use, simply attach to an existing nursing or sports bra or whatever nursing top you have on. The shirt alleviates the problem of having your sides show.

And they cater to all body types and look great on each one.

The Amazon.com reviews of the shirts are mainly positive. Reviewers report that the shirts are durable and top quality. They do not pill after several washes, maintain their shape and are not tattered after months of use, nursing moms who have reviewed the shirts have said.

We got a review version and we can co-sign as to the versatility and durability of the tops construction. It slipped on easily and our in-office reviewer said the top even alleviated the fear of muffin-top exposure in the back! ha!

The clips to latch on to an existing top or bra look stable and like they will endure the stress of time.

And we are loving the price point, starting at just $24.99 which is a virtual steal in this very crowded market where some items are overpriced and heavily marked up without reason. You get quality at a great price with these shirts.

Winning! (smile)

Stock up with a few shirts in a variety of colors. You can save money by purchasing a value bundle, a slimming tank that cinches your waist, or in a lace trim. Get them at Amazon.com.

Or…You can use a generous $75 gift certificate Undercover Mama is offering to be split among three Bellyitch reader to get their very own Undercover Mama Tank!

This Hilarious First Ultrasound Commercial is a Doritos Super Bowl Finalist

doritos

I was happy to see a pregnancy-related commercial made it as a finalist in Doritos’ annual competition where it challenges everyone to produce the commercial it will present for the first time during the Super Bowl.

Among the finalists is this humorous commercial Australian Peter Carstairs from Perth created which takes us to the first ultrasound. The dad is munching on Doritos in the middle of their first ultrasound, mom gets irate, but it turns out,  the baby looks like it wants some too….

A Couple Princesses and a Couple Baby Bumps at the First Royal Dinner in Sweden

princess sofia and victoria state dinner

The first official dinner hosted at the Royal Palace in Stockholm this week gave the two expecting Princesses in the Royal family of Sweden a chance to dress up their bumps.

Crown Princess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel, a New York city businessman,  attended with Victoria in a beautiful floor-length beaded lace gown. Her sister-in-law Princess Sofia went with a shimmery gold floor-sweeping dress with a tiny train. Sofia is expecting her first child with Prince Carl-Philip (who we at the Bellyitch offices think is the cutest royal around).

They both had on their tiaras! The event was attended by dignitaries, high-level officials, business executives and other notables.

This will be Victoria and Daniel’s second child. They are parents to 3-year old Princess Estelle. She is due in March, one month ahead of Sofia.

These will be the 4th and 5th grandbabies for King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. Victoria and Carl’s  sister Madeleine has an almost 2-year old daughter Princess Leonore Lilian and a 7-month old son Prince Nicolas with British-American businessman Christopher O’Neill.

Fun Fact:Unlike Daniel, O’Neill has decided to not take on the Royal name or rescind his British and US citizenship, therefore he is not a member of the royal family.

Brazil’s Strict Abortion Laws Revisited because of Zika Virus

zika

The surging medical reports of babies being born with unusually small heads during the Zika epidemic in Brazil are igniting a fierce debate over the country’s abortion laws, which make the procedure illegal under most circumstances.

Legal scholars in Brasília, the capital, are preparing a case to go before Brazil’s highest court, saying pregnant women should be permitted to have abortions when their fetuses are found to have abnormally small heads, a condition known as microcephaly that Brazilian researchers say is linked to the virus.

A judge in central Brazil has taken the rare step of publicly proclaiming that he will allow women to have legal abortions in cases of microcephaly, preparing the way for a fight over the issue in parts of the country’s labyrinthine legal system.

And here in Recife, the Brazilian city hit hardest by the increase in microcephaly and the brain damage that often comes with it, abortion rights activists are seizing on the crisis to counter conservative lawmakers who have long wanted to make Brazil’s abortion laws — already among the most stringent in Latin America — more restrictive.
