Pregnancy is an amazing time in a woman’s life. Nurturing and growing this new person can certainly feel amazing. During this time, you want to make sure that you are feeding yourself and your developing baby the best possible foods. To help keep you both safe, the following are some foods and beverages which are NOT safe for consumption during pregnancy:

Alcohol: There seems to be a lot of news lately about having a drink or two during pregnancy, but there are warning labels on beer, wine, and alcohol bottles for a reason. Drinking during pregnancy can lead to frightening complications for your baby. It’s best to shelf any drinking until after your baby arrives.

Raw eggs: Not that many of us normally consume these in our diets, but they are used in the some of the homemade dressings for Caesar salads and homemade milkshakes and ice-cream. Raw eggs can contain the bacteria salmonella and can make you very sick. Eggs are an excellent source of protein. Just remember that any eggs consumed should be fully cooked. View Post

I did have a fresh eyebrow wax . . . I got my nails done, I got my feet done, had my hair done, and I had my little lip gloss . . . I didn’t feel that I looked beautiful during birth, but who does? After being pumped with all those fluids and gaining so much weight . . . I barely recognized myself.

Preparing for the arrival of your newborn can leave you feeling a bit anxious, so why not get a little glammed right before the late night feedings begin?  Before Lil B’s birth, I got my hair colored (which was deemed safe in the third trimester) and blown out, visited the nail salon, shaved my legs and got a bikini wax.  Not only did it feel good to have some “me” time before motherhood, but it wasn’t such a big deal when I was being photographed without makeup (which I knew would be shared with co-workers, friends and family).

Tired of fake pregnancy reports, Beyonce, 30, mocks fun of it all in the newly-released behind-the-scenes video of “Countdown”.  “Oh, baby! Oh, baby!” she giggles as she rubs her belly, cracking up about a New York Daily News front-page headline over her baby bump.

“Right now I’m actually shooting the video… and I’m six months pregnant,” she jokes while looking fab in a retro updo. “I’m pretending that my stomach is flat in a bodysuit!”
