Did you know I'm also a wine connoisseur? I make pour decisions over at the Unpolished Grape.
Meghan Markle dazzled the world as she became the first American Royalty. No, really. She is the first American, let alone African-American to become legit royalty. (Ohh I hope she starts a hashtag or makes some bumper stickers with her face that say #legitroyalty).
So Serena Williams had a baby. A beautiful baby girl. But let’s back up. This woman made pregnancy look like body goals. I swear to my Father in Heaven that I NEVER want to be pregnant again (#mythreekids), BUT IF I DID, I’d want to look like Serena. Strong, gorgeous, and courageous. The woman had…
Now I love a bad dress. And a mean pair of heels. I would actually rock both every day if I could. But hours after I give birth? Nah, give me a break. Literally. Actually, give me a seat because I’m tired just looking at Duchess Kate!
Cardi B, 25-year-old rap mogul, just announced her pregnancy with her fiancé, Migos member, Offset.
“I labored for hours. Underwent an emergency c-section. Survived a double NICU stay. And endured four days of a grueling hospital recovery. I finally brought my babies home on a Sunday, and on Monday morning I got the call. ‘I know you just had babies, but…’ It was a real-estate agent calling to report that…
Birth plans are all the rage in pregnancy in the last five to seven years. Every app, every mommy website, every natural birth instructional anything contains mention of and often a template for a birth plan. In this post I will answer the following questions: What is a birth plan? What are some common misconceptions…
I was a resident physician and had just finished performing a c-section. We had helped bring a new life into the world. That usually puts me right on cloud nine, even to this day, but this day I went straight to the desk and put my face down on the cold table.
I’ve always been an advocate for breastfeeding….but let me be clear, I had my limits. I used to give a major side-eye to moms that breastfed for unimaginable lengths of time, like beyond a year. Ugh! I didn’t understand it. It seemed weird, unnatural, and like some strange mother-child dependency thing that just went on…
Moms discuss what it feels like to have the “Baby Blues,” anxiety, Postpartum Depression, and Postpartum Psychosis.
#reclaimingmytits #thebreastaurantisclosing #repossessmybreasts What happens to your breasts when you’re finished breastfeeding? What do you make of your new tatas and new LIFE?
Can we talk about baby showers for a sec? Because most of them are traditional, conservative and reserved. If this is your style, then cool! Not hating at all! But if you’re anything like me, you’re a sucker for pushing the envelope and breaking away from monotony. What if I told you that a baby…
To grow and deliver a tiny human being is no small feat. The impact of pregnancy on the human body can vary drastically from one person to the next. Some women come out unscathed while others have lasting scars and/or conditions to remind them of their journey to motherhood. In fact many try, to no…
It is not seemly to talk about sex. And I’m not trying to be unseemly. I also don’t want to scare anyone who is pregnant or in labor right now because you probably won’t wind up with a third degree tear like I did. At least, I hope you don’t.
Yep I’m still nursing a toddler. Deal with it. Before becoming a mom, I knew that I would nurse. I had girlfriends whom I considered role model mommas and they nursed their children so of course I would too. The first few weeks were tough and then there was the first time I got gummed…wow!…
