OMG! You're pregnant?! Are you busting at the seams to find out what you are having? Girlfriend! We have an opportunity for you. We will be giving away three gender reveal tests ($199 value) to two lucky families at absolutely NO cost to you.

All you have to do is like our page, share this post, and let us know you did it. For extra entries into our drawing have friends and family do the same and tag you in the comments with their guess of what you are having.

And now for the fine print: You must be available this Wednesday at 9:00 at our office, must be at least 9 completed weeks at time of the test (can be done any time after that), and you must be ready to find out what you're having with a simple blood test with no obligation to you! Drawing will be held on Tuesday afternoon by live. Stay tuned!

In 2001, when Andrea Grant was about 8, a fire completely devastated her home. A gas leak caused an explosion that didn’t just burn the house, but her skin as well. She and her brother both miraculously survived, all their limbs still intact. They left the hospital still healing from the ordeal, but...

A few years back I learned why there is that old phrase “crying over spilled milk.” Although I had not spilled milk per se, I had inadvertently left several bottles that I had pumped breast milk into in my car…for days. Several days. While rummaging through my disaster of a car I found them, hidden…

The circuit is a simple set of positions used to achieve optimal positioning either before or during labour. Optimal positioning is considered to be the LOA position (Left Occip...

Don't feel stuck!! You can change care providers during pregnancy. Remember this is your baby!

Suddenly you realize that you need to switch doctors. Here you are in the middle of pregnancy and you need a new doctor or midwife. What do you do?

The personal touch of a midwife and the medical options of a hospital used to be on opposite sides of the spectrum.

A doula is not a midwife. "A doula is to a midwife as perhaps the mom's best friend is to the doctor performing the delivery."

There is no chanting while I dance around the mother in a forest.

His mum was planning a home birth but on the morning of her going into labour, it was found that her ‘wee’ man was breech. She knew right from that moment that she would give birth to him naturally, and she choose to birth him at the hospital as that is where she felt safest.

For many of us, breastfeeding can be a bit of a challenge. Milk production can be an issue, especially if you have insufficient glandular tissue. Your baby may have trouble latching on properly or the act of breastfeeding might be particularly painful for you. Maybe you're a survivor of sexual

Skin to Skin Contact is not "new",but Sweden certainly leads the way in making this care family -friendly even for very tiny babies.
I love this picture of big brother helping his dad care for the twins!!

"Revolutionary and innovative practices in Uppsala, Sweden. Children of 700 grams can be skin to skin on the parent's chest instead of the incubator.

A Swedish Professor Uwe Ewald, came to Hvidovre hospital (Denmark) to talk about his revolutionary practice, where even very small premature babies are taken out of the incubator to be skin to skin with their parents as much as possible. Premature babies, born three months prematurely, are put on the parent's chest instead of alone in an incubator.

Uwe Ewald points out that the parent's chest regulates the temperature better than an incubator. Skin to skin contact helps the baby to breathe better. The child becomes more calm and gains weight faster. Research shows that parents bacterial flora - compared with hospital bacteria - reduces the risk of serious infections in these delicate children.

100 doctors, nurses and other staff from all over Denmark gather at Hvidovre hospital Friday the 29.5. to hear Uwe Ewald research.
The initiator of the meeting is the Fund "A good start in life" in cooperation with the Neonatal Department at Hvidovre Hospital.
Hvidovre Hospital's neonatal department also has positive experience with skin-to-skin contact and currently has a major research project."
