¿Cuántas de nosotras no ha escuchado que durante el embarazo la mujer debe comer por dos? Pues es una mentira del tamaño del Empire State. No sólo no debes comer por dos, sino que es saludable tanto para ti como para el bebé que mantengas un régimen alimenticio sano y que hagas ejercicio. La idea no es que pierdas peso –eso es absurdo- sino que no aumentes demasiado. Al menos, ese es el consejo que dan expertos en el tema en un studio publicado en el Bristish Medical Journal.

South American beauty queen Caroline is feeling stressed out--she has terrible morning sickness while planning a wedding to Christian, who she only dated for a few months before they started their family. She's adjusting to their new life together and preparing for the baby, but still worrying about what happens after the baby's born--and how she's going to get that modeling body back.

The star of tonight's episode of MTV Tr3s' new show, Quiero Mi Baby (9 p.m. EST), talks with Mamás Latinas exclusively about planning a wedding while pregnant, how she's losing the baby weight and her plan for teaching baby Chase five languages!

I thought that pretty much everyone knew that you should absolutely NOT be drinking, smoking or using any kind of drugs while pregnant. Well, whether or not most women know it can be harmful to their future bundle of joy, it doesn't seem to stop everyone from indulging while pregnant.

What's going on here? Why are women still doing these dangerous activities and harming their developing babies? The only good news is that us Latinas seem to be engaging in these risky behaviors way less than other groups.

Salma Hayek feared her baby would be born with Down Syndrome during most of her pregnancy, according to husband Francois-Henri Pinault, who revealed this on the stand during the court battle over child support with supermodel Linda Evangelista, with whom he has a son. 

While it must suck that the world finds out about such an intimate detail that you obviously wanted to keep under wraps, the way we did, I can only imagine how tough this must have been for Salma because worrying about the possibility of having a baby with Down syndrome is something I think pretty much most moms do when they're pregnant. Imagine then been mistakenly told your baby would be born with Down syndrome?

Hay cientos de libros, artículos y guías sobre el embarazo--eso sin contar los consejos que tan sabiamente nos dan nuestras madres, tías, abuelitas y amigas. Desde lo obvio y evidente como "no debes saltarte una sola cita con el obstetra", hasta "ponte una cinta azul en la barriga para que evites las náuseas", lo juro, eso me lo dijo una vecina muy querida. Una cubana que tiene ocho hijos y es hasta bisabuela. Así que se considera toda una autoridad en el tema. Lo cierto es que tal y como reza el famoso título del libro "What to expect when you are expecting", de Heidi Murkoff y Sharon Mazel, ahora llevado a la gran pantalla en clave de comedia, durante el embarazo podemos esperar de todo o no esperar nada, es decir, desde las cosas más extrañas hasta que nuestro embarazo se desarrolle normalmente.
