Imagine going through almost all the stages of a pregnancy, finding out you are going to have a baby boy and then you get the horrible news that you can’t bring him home. Why not, you ask?
An Ohio woman got the wrong embroyo implanted in her and now must give the baby up her little boy to the biological parents once he is born.
Carolyn Savage, age 40, recently found out that the baby she had finally got pregnant with was not actually her baby, but a mix up. Her husband, Sean, said it was the worst news of their life. …read more
Your Recommended Pregnancy Books

I’ve been asked the question by WombWithin, about what my favorite pregnancy book is for both women and men. This of course gave me the idea to ask my many readers, while I tend to stick with one book, “What to Expect When You are Expecting” and the Internet, I know others will have a different taste. I have heard that for the men it tends to be “The Expectant Father.” I also know some want to try going green and they may like “Raising Baby Green.” But there are a ton of books out there and I’d like …read more
Update on Pregnancy Pact

Yesterday I posted a story during the blog-off about 17 teen girls that made a pregnancy pact to get pregnant this school year.
Currently the police are trying to find out who the 17 fathers are and determine if any will be charged. While the world may be in shock I can only imagine the parents of these teens and the possible boys that had no clue.
To me, pregnancy is something that you are suppose to enjoy. It’s a gift and something that should be treasured. But for these 17 girls that just “wanted to raise a baby together” have changed …read more

Ya’ll know I like posting about the news and I’ve been dismissing this one all morning but I can’t any longer and while it doesn’t deal with babies or moms it does deal with it. What’s that mean? Well it deals with getting pregnant, so everything else comes after.
Okay in the news apparently a huge group of teens decided to make a pregnancy pact. Can you believe this?
There are 17 pregnant girls that go to Gloucester High School that all took a pregnancy pact with one another. When a local high school clinic realized the trend they began looking into …read more

Yes, I know many believe it just as an old wives tale, you know the whole sweet things are girls and sour are boys. But according to the most recent reports what you, as the mom or mom to be, eats before making the baby will determine the sex. So, ladies and gentlemen you really can predict the birth of your baby.
By eating a banana you are ensuring a little boy, or any other high in calories food items. If you are eating a more restricted diet though you can count on a girl.
So which old wives tales are …read more

Babylune has a new poll in the side bar. After reading some of the recent comments I’ve noticed that one subject is very hot in the babyworld and that is sex. In particular the big question seems to be “When did you have sex after the baby was born?”

Men with Postpartum Depression

ABC News is looking for men that had postpartum depression after their baby was born. Some of you may not know it but it does happen in men as well as it does with women. All those thoughts that go through a female, can actually go through a man.
Men wonder why they aren’t happy about the birth of their new son/daughter. This is easy for a man, especially with many of them holding that “macho” gene of how will I care for him/her? Whether they’ll be like their parents? Are they making enough money? If they have a wife that …read more
Do You Have a Breech Gene?

Filed under Labor & Delivery
According to a British Medical Journal that came out earlier this week, those that have had breech babies, probably have a gene that passes it on. They actually studied 387,000 births to get their information and learned that mothers that had been born breech or their husbands that were born breech were twice as likely to give birth to a breech baby. Now, this doesn’t mean danger, but doctors that know can be more aware and make all precautions just in case.
