Sources close to US Weekly  say that actress Eva Mendes and her boyfriend actor Ryan Gosling are expecting their first child together. The source also reveals that the Hitch star is in her last trimester of pregnancy at 7 -months!
Wow! If she is that far along, we will have to add her to the long and growing list of celebrity women who managed to conceal their pregnancies well beyond their 5th month gestation which include Nicole Richie, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson and Beyonce who didn’t announce until their 4th or 5th month and Jennifer Hudson and Evangeline Lily who weren’t discovered until nearly term. 
Cool and Congrats if true!

Court-ordered Forced C-Section in London stir controversy

Posted on July 9, 2014
This week, London officials had their courts force an Italian woman living temporarily in that country to have a C-section delivery of her child even after she expressed fear of labor and delivery. 
The decision by a British Court of Protection declared the woman was suffering delusions and under Britain’s Mental Health Act was ordered to deliver her baby via C-Section at a Hospital in Essex, east of London.
News reports say the mom of 4 was deathly afraid of hospitals and surgically-assisted child birth and had her children’s father deliver her last child using barbecue tongs at home.  Officials are coming under fire for taking the baby away from the woman instead of leaving it in the custody of the grandmother. The father of the child is a Senagalese man living in London who has not been involved. 
Investigations continue as to why an Italian woman was forced to stay in London for 6 weeks and then forced to give birth, USA Today  reports.
Last month, a Daily Beast piece discussed the case of a New York woman and mother of three who was “forced” to have a C-Section delivery of her 4th child without prior consultation and over her objection.1  
It all leads to new questions about a woman’s right to control her body over the safety and rights of the fetus she is carrying. Also, there is new questioning, also under the light of new US Supreme Court cases about women’s access to employer-funded health insurance, about contraception.
What are your thoughts on these cases?

5 Essentials for a Maternity Wardrobe

Posted on July 9, 2014

You are pregnant, and starting to show.  The urge to run off to buy those adorable baby clothes, that have been beckoning you since the day you thought about starting your family, is hitting you.  But before you pick up that beautiful little baby hat, it is time to think about you and your new figure.  Which means that now is the right time to begin buying your maternity wardrobe.  UGH! The thought of buying elastic waist bands and oversized shirts and pants does not seem very exciting.  I remember putting on my first pair of maternity pants when I was only 4 months along.  At that time I thought, “These are Huge!  I will never be this BIG!” Oh how I was wrong, when 7 months rolled around, I wasn’t able to even fit in those pants that were supposedly too BIG.  

I found this advice later in my pregnancy and now I am going to pass along the tried and true methods of maternity fashion of all the celebrity moms.  First off before you start piecing together your maternity fashion finds, begin with these five essentials –
Dark Wash Jeans
Maternity jeans have come a long way from the baggy, bulky things of the past. Today’s jeans are made with shape and style to get you through your pregnancy. Look for jeans with a dark wash and a straight leg or bootcut to help minimize your widening hips. Skip the mom jeans that come up over your entire stomach, instead find jeans that will hit you just above your hips for a flattering look. Remember, you will also wear these jeans after your baby is born while your body readjusts, so choose a pair or two that will look great no matter what.


Maxi Dress
A long, maxi dress looks great on pregnancy curves and is so comfortable to wear. Choose a long dress in a neutral, solid color that will look good no matter what. You can mix it up with a bold sweater, bright jewelry, or a funky diaper bag to get lots of wear out of your dress. A flowing maxi dress will also be very forgiving to your shape post-baby.


Empire Waist Tops
The empire waist top is perfect for pregnancy. The flowing look of these tops show off a growing pregnant belly at all the stages. You can wear them with basic jeans or more dressy maternity slacks for a look that fits in any occasion. The shape of these tops also makes them very flattering on the bust as it grows and changes during pregnancy.  One of the great benefits of the empire waist is that it stays in style and is very flattering for your recovering post-baby figure.


Elastic Waist Skirts
Skirts with stretchy elastic bands are a definite must-have for pregnancy. They are comfortable to wear no matter how big you feel, and the stretchy waist means no need to buy new skirts every other month. Grab a few skirts in various colors that will work well with any top.  



Nursing Bras
Pregnancy can do a number on your breasts, making them feel uncomfortable in regular bras. Nursing bras are designed to be softer, stretchier,weight bearing with comfortable straps and much easier for tender and growing breasts. Even if you are not yet sure about breastfeeding, stocking up on nursing bras is still an essential for your maternity wardrobe. These will help reduce your back strain from the increasing load on the front.  This bra will be your mainstay of your wardrobe throughout your nine months and even beyond, so consider the quality that can last for at least two years for each pregnancy.
Now that your maternity wardrobe is planned and ready, you can go back to thinking about the world of flowered baby headbands, layettes, and nursery decor.

Savannah Guthrie on pregnancy weight gain: We don’t need another heaping of guilt

Posted on July 8, 2014
Yesterday, we got into celebrities who manage to remain pretty skinny even while pregnant and their role in contributing  to an unhealthy trend of pregorexia – women who purposefully starve themselves so not to gain too much weight.
In TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie‘s blog, she addressed the stress of gaining too much weight while pregnant and shared how she found herself teetering on “the Pregnancy Weight Gain Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Gain More than 25-30 pounds during pregnancy.”
But through her piece, she talks about coming to a resolution with herself that the pressure is overwhelming and too stressful.  It helps that her OB/GYN told her to not sweat the guidelines too much! Yahoo! Anyway, in her blog, Guthrie writes:

I know we shouldn’t pile on the pounds during pregnancy. It isn’t healthy, and we don’t want to dig a weight gain hole so deep we can’t Jazzercise our way out of it. But let’s keep it in perspective. It is just a recommendation. If we look and feel healthy, can’t we give ourselves a break?

At this stage of pregnancy, the average baby weighs 2-3 pounds. The other 28 pounds is boobs, clearly, and who knows what else: blood and fluid and placenta and what have you. You know what we don’t need? Another big heaping serving of guilt weighing us down.

Agreed! Amen!

30 Blogs with Family Photos organization tips

Posted on July 8, 2014
Whether you’re a traditionalist with piles of photographs or a tech-savvy fiend with a penchant for capturing special moments digitally, it’s easy to amass a collection of images that’s downright overwhelming in size. Culling your collection isn’t always easy, nor is finding the right method for storage and organization that allows you to find the pictures you’re looking for when you need them. These 30 blog entries are all dedicated to the fine art of organization, with a focus on your family photos.
Photo Album Ideas
When you have containers that are full of printed or developed photographs that you’ve haphazardly stuffed inside, getting them into nicely organized albums can make it easier to discard photos until you’re left with only those that you truly want. Once you’ve cleaned out your photos you’ll be able to store them in a more suitable manner. These five blogs discuss various photo album organization techniques, and can help you get started on your project with confidence.
Scrapbooking Ideas
Few methods of showcasing your photographs are as satisfying in terms of fulfilling a creative outlet and garnering a sense of accomplishment as putting together a scrapbook. Whether you’re an accomplished pro or a scrapbooking beginner, these five blogs are stuffed with great photo organization ideas.
Digital Photo Organization Ideas
Snapping photographs with a digital camera is so easy and satisfying that you can collect an incredible number of them in a very short time, a situation that’s only exacerbated by the fact that they don’t require a trip to the store to get them developed. These five blog entries can help you organize all of those digital snapshots on your hard drive, getting them in order and making them easier to manage.
Photo Boxes
Hastily stuffing printed or developed photos into a shoe box isn’t an entirely effective organizational method. There are, however, dedicated boxes designed specifically for photograph storage. Utilizing these can make it easier for you to manage prints when you’ve thrown out the ones you don’t actually want, but still have far too many on your hands. These five blogs help you to sort, organize and manage your photos by using photo boxes to get the job done.


Scanning Photographs
If you’re making the transition to digital storage over printed photographs and aren’t quite sure where you should start or how to go about the process, these five blogs are invaluable resources for information and assistance. Learning how to scan your photos and discovering the best methods for organizing them once they’re in digital form is easier than you may realize, especially when you have the assistance of these bloggers.
Preserving and Storing Old Photographs
If you’ve inherited a collection of vintage family photographs or are simply holding on to snapshots that are decades old, you may have noticed that they tend to deteriorate with time. These five blog entries offer advice for halting the degradation of your cherished memories and pointers on how to properly store them in order to prevent future damage.
Happy Memory Preserving!

Celebrities who were cheated on while pregnant

Posted on July 8, 2014

Sadly, the rumor mill is reporting that Hank Baskett Jr may have cheated on our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Kendra Wilkinson while she was carrying the couple’s second child.  They initially denied the reports until the woman (who happens to also be transgendered) who claims to have had a torrid ongoing affair with Baskett kept giving interviews that revealed some intimate details and Wilkinson allegedly discovered credit card charges for meals with two persons that her hubby could not explain, according to web reports.

This week, Perez Hilton‘s parenting site Perezitos featured a gallery of 11 celebrity  women whose partners or spouses allegedly cheated on them while pregnant. We saw some of the women from on our 2010 post about 6 celebs who broke up before their baby was born on the list and noted it missed Brit personality Katie Price, who we blogged about last week.

Price told a British talk show that she felt her husband Kieran Hayler cheated on her because she gained too much weight while pregnant.

Yikes!

Anyway, we’d add to Perez’s gallery which includes Lauryn Hill (Rohan Marley), Nivea and Lauren London (both by  Lil Wayne), Christina Milian (The Dream), Kelis (Nas), Shar Jackson  (by Kevin Federline) ,Heidi Klum (by Flavio Briatore), Bridget Moynahan (Tom Brady), Mary Louise Parker  (Billy Crudup) and Wendy Williams (Kevin Hunter).

Add from our post: Alexis Knapp who may have been cheated on by Ryan Phillipe while she was pregnant with their child; Ginny Barber who was pregnant with Tiki Barber‘s twins when the two broke up, allegedly because he was cheating on her; and January Jones who may have been cheated on by her son Xander’s dad – whoever that is, possibly Jason Sudekis or Ashton Kutcher. 





Generally, most men stick by their women’s side while she is carrying their child but not all area able to stay faithful during a time when his woman may not be in the mood to have sex,  may experience a change in her body she may not like and embrace; and may just be bitchy to her dude. The strongest can sustain their love and relationship through it all.

Study: Working Moms’ kids come out same as kids of stay-at-home moms

Posted on July 8, 2014
Phew! A recent study reveals that children of working mothers born since the mid-1990s are not different in behavior or social skills than children of stay-at-home moms.
The University of London Centre for Longitudinal Study found that changes in maternity leave, greater availability of quality childcare and flexible work hours make it easier for mothers to have balance.
Further, Pew Research data notes that although women work more outside the home than 50 years ago, they still spend more time with their children that moms from the 1960s, and twice as much as fathers today. 
“Look at the things your child is getting because you work: They’re getting a role model; they’re getting exposure to other environments and other care-givers; they’re getting the confidence that they will be OK without their mom being there every single second of the day,” Bethesda, Maryland pediatrician Dana Kornfeld told WTOP.com.
So there you have, it ladies. No need to feel guilty about having to go out to bring home the bacon. Your kids will be and are fine.

Celebrities and Pregorexia: All about super skinny pregnant celebrities

Posted on July 7, 2014

Celebrities like Selma Blair, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie, Victoria Beckham, Miranda Kerr & Bethenny Frankel who managed to remain thin while pregnant may unwillingly contribute to rising cases of pregorexia among average women.
Sheknows.com spoke with a eating disorder therapist who broke down the rising problem of pregorexia, a condition where a mom-to-be refuses to eat enough for herself and developing baby over fears of weight gain. It even delves into the media and celebrities’ role in contributing to the increase in pregorexia cases nationwide.

In the piece, Sharon Zimbler, a marriage and family therapist posits about the woman who is suffering from this clinical disorder:
The woman may have had an eating disorder before she became pregnant that may or may not have been diagnosed. Oftentimes, women who have “disordered eating” or serious body-image issues may find themselves overwhelmed with the weight gain associated with pregnancy. These women may start developing an eating disorder during their pregnancies.
Media and societal influences affect our ideas of what pregnancy should look like. Unfortunately, we are inundated with images of very thin women barely gaining weight during pregnancy, only to find these same women losing their baby weight soon after the birth of their children. Many women find themselves worried about losing their baby weight before they even have their babies.
Women with established eating disorders suffer from cognitive distortions, which affect their ability to perceive themselves accurately. A woman may think she is eating a certain amount, but may actually be eating less than she realizes, or a woman may think she is not overexercising but actually is.
A woman with an eating disorder lacks perspective on her behaviors. Women with eating disorders have a strong need to control things in their lives. They do this by controlling what they eat or don’t eat. They also control whether they keep the food down. Women with pregorexia feel they have lost control over their bodies.
