But Fully Fertile: A Holistic 12-Week Plan for Optimal Fertility points out that this aversion could be counterproductive to your own efforts at reproduction.

Just like laughter and optimism tend to be contagious, and, conversely, hanging out with someone who is perpetually b*tchy can sour your own mood, some yoga gurus say,

If you want a baby, surround yourself with babies and pregnant women who are throwing off the vibration of babies and pregnancy. Expose yourself to them and allow those vibrations to be magnetized to your aura so that you are surrounded by positive and fertile pregnancy energy.

I dig that advice. Especially since I just said farewell to my eight month pregnant pal (who humored me with a big belly-to-belly rub to enhance the baby vibes) and we are hosting another expecting couple and their almost two year old for the holiday weekend. Babies everywhere!

What do you think about this advice? Does surrounding yourself with baby/pregnancy aura make sense to you, or is the presence of so much fertility sometimes a little too much to bear?

Rub Some of That Baby Aura on Me

1. Breaking News: Teens Can Get Pregnant After Having Sex – Thank you, Miss Jamie Lynn Spears for making this one of my most viewed posts. But there’s more to the post than that. You should read it to find out what.
2. Does It Bother You to See Other People’s Babies? I said no, not so much. Most of you said no, but that you hadn’t really thought about it. Lots of comments of the male kind here. Nice!
3. A Valentine for My Mom – Probably my most personal post here at Fertility Notes. One that I am glad I am finally grown up enough to write.
4. Hey Look! Infertiles are Blogging! – Where I rant and rave a little about the misperception of (in)fertility blogs in the media and are rewarded with comments from not one but two of my favorite bloggers.
5. Ten Random Reasons for Wanting to Have a Baby – This was one of my first posts, one of my favorite, and apparently, one of yours. More than half a year later, this one always ends up in the top ten on my stats page.

So, as Tony Kornheiser would say, “That’s the list!” Did I miss your favorite? Let me know!
