GO GREEN! During Pregnancy

The moment you find out your pregnant, you instantly start thinking like a mom. You find yourself preparing your home to be baby safe and making sure your little one will be protected. However, one of the most important ways you can do to protect your baby is GOING GREEN! Going green seems to be the “in” thing to do right now, but there are actually many short and long-term benefits to doing so. If you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, you may want to consider switching to a green lifestyle. This article discusses how to go green during pregnancy, as well as why it is a good idea to switch to a green lifestyle at this point in life.

GO GREEN! During Pregnancy Tip #1: Switch to Healthier Eating Habits

You can start this tip today, benefiting not only you but also your baby. A diet, which consists of organic fruits, vegetables and other products, is really the best way to go. There are many pesticides and hormones added to foods today that do major damage to not only our bodies but also our environment. Switching to healthier eating habits can be a challenge with all the fast foods around you. However, you can make better choices while on the run as well by looking up places in your area that offer organic foods, you’ll be surprised. You will find that both you and your baby will be healthier, as you will be avoiding exposure to pesticides. Go green during your pregnancy by eating right!

GO GREEN! During Pregnancy Tip #2: Avoid Putting Toxins in Your Body

You may think since you don’t drink or smoke during your pregnancy that you’re not putting toxins in your body, however this is only half true. Toxins come from a number of things that you may not be aware of. For example: fragrances, deodorants and household cleaners. Try switching out your everyday household products to natural alternatives. Using green options and avoiding pollutants from public transportation can be essential to both your own health and the health of your baby. Go green during your pregnancy by switching to natural products!

GO GREEN! During Pregnancy Tip #3: Shop Online

Now days you can find anything and everything online! Skip running errands and shopping around in your car when you don’t have to. You can start by paying bills online and getting the best price for those cute maternity jeans you’ve been wanting. Look for coupon codes and places that offer free shipping and you’ll be surprised on how much you end up saving! If shopping online is not an option with what you’re looking for then try car-pooling with other moms going to the same places. So go green during your pregnancy by shopping online!

Make sure you have a positive attitude about going green during pregnancy. Many people make the decision to go green because it is the current trend. Unless you really want to make the lifestyle changes that are required to go green, you are never going to be able to do it. Be enthusiastic about making eco-friendly changes to your lifestyle and you will be more likely to do it, for you and your baby!

Christina Applegate Shows Off Her Bump

Christina announced last week that she is pregnant and debuted her baby bump Sunday at the Los Angeles premiere of Cats & Dogs: The Revenge Of Kitty Galore. The 38-year-old actress who is engaged to her baby’s father, rocker Martyn Lenoble didn’t dish on the baby’s gender “that is for me to know,” she said and would only reveal that she’s “somewhere between zero and 10 months” along. I love it! Congrats

Street Cargo Product Review

The cargo maternity bottoms by Ripe are a great everyday pant that goes with everything! Wear with sneakers for a hike or with hills for a night out. They are super comfortable and feature a bellow-the-belly elastic band. My favorite part is that they can be buttoned up for a capri or left down for a pant. These are a great transitional piece that won’t go out of style!

Boy or Girl?

Boy or Girl?

One of your first thoughts when you find out your pregnant is “I wonder if it’s going to be a boy or a girl!“ And we all know it takes forever for that day to come when we finally find out. Finding out the sex of your baby depends on everything . . . the name, the nursery theme. It’s even hard to go shopping for your new baby when you don’t know the sex.

In the days before scans were available, women used all kinds of silly and weird methods to figure out the sex of their baby. Where they came up with these theories, is really unknown. Of course, we don’t go by any of these today but here are a few Old Wives’ Tales to share and laugh about with other expectant moms or make into a game at your baby shower. Remember though, they are ONLY for fun.

Which Boob is Bigger? If your left breast is bigger than the right during pregnancy, you’re having a girl. If the right is bigger, it’ll be a boy. If they are the same size, you’re in for a surprise!

Are you Grouchy? If you get moody during pregnancy you are more likely to have a girl. Now we all know why this one was thought of.

How are you Carrying? If you carry the baby out front (others can’t see your pregnancy from behind) then you will have a boy. If others can tell that you are pregnant when looking at you from behind, then you will have a girl.

Anyone have a Key? Have the mom-to-be pick up a key. If she picks it up by the round end, it will be a boy. If she picks it up by the long end, it will be a girl. Should she pick it up at the middle, twins are on the way.

How Old are you? If the mother’s age at conception and the year of conception are both even or both odd, the baby is a girl. If one is even and one is odd, the baby is a boy.

Pick a Number. Ask the mum-to-be to pick a number. Match the number with the corresponding letter of the alphabet (A=1, B=2 etc). Then ask her to choose a name beginning with that letter. If she chooses a boys name, it will be a boy. If she chooses a girls name, it will be a girl.

Swaying Pendant. Hang a gold pendant (preferably one the mother wears often) over the palm of the mother’s hand. If the pendant moves in a circular motion, it will be a girl. If it swings back and forth, a boy is on the way.

Who was more Aggressive? If you were the more aggressive partner when the baby was conceived, it will be a boy. If the father was the more aggressive, the baby will be a girl.

Did you get your Pregnancy Glow? If you suffer from acne during pregnancy, you will have a girl.

What Side do you Rest on? If she lies on her left, it’s a boy; on her right, it’s a girl.

Kid Instincts. If young boys (pre-school age) show interest in you while you’re pregnant, it will be a girl. If they ignore you, expect a boy.

The Answers in your Palms. Ask the mum-to-be to show you her hands. If she shows them palms up, it’s a girl; palms down, a boy.

Listen to your Dreams. If you dream of girls, you will have a boy. If you dream of boys, you will have a girl.

Yes, I know some are very strange and farfetched but I hope you’ve had fun with them and don’t forget that the real answer will be when you deliver.
