Es mentira que tengas que comer por dos durante el embarazo (VÍDEO)

¿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.

'Jersey Shore' party girl Snooki is becoming a model mom

I never thought I'd see the day, but Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi may just be morphing in to a model mom. After her recent announcement that she's giving up tanning for the baby, the Chilean-born star of MTV's Jersey Shore has really earned my respect as a mommy who's more worried about taking care of her growing baby than of herself. I think that's something to be admired.

Plus, the girl is keeping it safe (for her baby) and still flaunting her style (and growing baby bump!) in new photos posted on Twitter. It seems like she's really on her way to become a true mamá Latina.

You'll be shocked at how many women still drink & smoke while pregnant!

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.

What moms REALLY want from their jobs

I don't think any working mom needs a survey or study to tell her what she already knows in terms of going back to work once her maternity leave is over. What we most want from our employers is flexible work hours and the possibility of working from home. I say this from personal experience.

While I was unemployed (through no fault of my own) when I had my first child, I was working when I had my second one. Knowing that my employer would give me neither flexible hours nor the option of working from home, I told him I wasn't coming back after the eight weeks I managed to get for maternity leave. It wasn't an easy decision to make in terms of our finances, but I couldn't stand the thought of leaving my child in a daycare center all day long.

GASP! Salma Hayek mistakenly told her baby had Down syndrome while pregnant

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?

Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio had a baby boy and his name is...

Gorgeous Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, who looks incredible when she posed in naked pregnancy photos, has finally given birth to her baby boy! Although there are no pictures revealed yet, I think we all know that it's a sure-fire bet that the son of the Victoria's Secret model will be the handsomest little man on the block. I'm sure her fiancé Jamie Mazur and their 3-year-old daughter Anja are pretty happy about the arrival, too! But what did the family name the new addition?

'What to expect when you are expecting' ¡pues de todo, en los embarazos pasan las cosas más inesperadas!

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.

Woman gives birth to baby daughter just five hours after learning she was pregnant! (VIDEO)

Miracle babies do happen! After trying to conceive for four years, Tennessee couple Amanda and Billy Prentice received the happy news that they were expecting –and then only 5 hours later, Amanda gave birth.

I know, it's unbelievable! I mean, how is that even possible? Apparently, Prentice began having seizures a few days before she went into labor so her husband rushed her to a local hospital. The (unknowing) mom-to-be lost conscious for a couple of days and when she woke up on April 25, her doctor told her it was due to complications from her pregnancy. At the time, Prentice didn't even know she was pregnant!
