Mom's Buzzy Corner
 
To all expectant moms out there and those who wish to get pregnant, please read this!

Many American women may need to start watching their weight during pregnancy so that they do not get too heavy and risk hurting their babies, researchers said on Wednesday.

They found that women who gained more weight during pregnancy gave birth to heavier babies, who in turn are themselves more likely to become obese adults. They also may be more prone to cancer, allergies, and asthma.

“The study suggests that the best time to begin obesity prevention may be actually prior to birth, by focusing on weight gain and diet of the mother during pregnancy,” said Dr. David Ludwig of Children’s Hospital in Boston, who worked on the study published in the Lancet medical journal.

(Reuters Health) - Longer breastfeeding may increase, not decrease, the risk of a common itchy skin condition called atopic dermatitis that develops in about 12 percent of babies, a new study from Taiwan suggests.

To all expectant moms out there, you better read this one especially if you're planning to breastfeed your baby. According to the study conducted by Chao-Hua Chuang, and colleagues at Chang Jung Christian University and other institutions in Taiwan, they found out that longer breastfeeding may raise infants' eczema risk. They found that not only did longer breastfeeding not protect against the skin condition as might have been expected, it appeared to also increase the risk that a child would have atopic dermatitis at 18 months. For more details on this study, feel free to visit the Reuters Health website.

Oh my gosh! I am so thrilled when I found out that Forever 21 has a new maternity line. It's called Love 21 Maternity. They are selling cute maternity tops, tanks, camis, tunics, cardigans, leggings, yoga pants, and belly panels for all hot mommas out there. They also have roomy totes and bags perfect for carrying those baby stuff.

Actually when I saw their new line, it made me want to be pregnant again. LOL! Don't care if I have to drink those humongous prenatal vitamins again just as long as I get to wear fancy clothes that will flatter my preggy curves. ;)
