I’ve been busy over at my WEtv.com blog, Womb With A View.

On exercise during pregnancy: I do this to myself every time I’m pregnant: I start off with the greatest of intentions at the very beginning (”THIS pregnancy I shall walk two miles daily, swim three times a week, and practice yoga morning and evening! I may even take up strength training and Pilates!”) Then I hit that so-exhausted-I-drool-on-my-keyboard phase where it’s all I can do to stay upright through the day, and all thoughts of exercise go flying out the window. read the rest .

On those fear-mongering birth-story-tellers: But perhaps even worse than the instant experts are the people who feel that it’s their duty to horrify pregnant women with gruesome tales of their own–or their mother’s, sister’s, cousin’s, or hairdresser’s–births. Just listen to the horror stories, heavily laced with hyperbole, that experienced mothers will often tell to try to “educate” a soon-to-be first-time mom and you’ll understand why women tend to be afraid of childbirth:

“Oh yeah? That’s nothing. I punched a nurse in the nose, wrestled a passing police officer to the ground, took his gun, drove to the anesthesiologist’s house, kidnapped him at gunpoint and forced him to come back to the hospital so I could get my epidural.” read the rest

I’ve also written about prenatal testing, unanswered third-trimester questions and my ever-expanding belly.

I’d love it if you left me a comment over at WEtv letting me know how you’re liking the blog!
