			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some doctors believe that the real trouble for children&#8217;s<strong> teeth</strong> is caused not by chocolate and candies, but by &#8220;healthy&#8221; drinks instead – juices, fruit cocktails, and smoothies.<br />
<span id="more-2434"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2435" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Childrens-Teeth.jpg" alt="Baby with Teeth" title="A Teething Baby" width="343" height="257" /></p>
<p>The physicians believe the problem is that today&#8217;s children do not want to drink plain water &#8211; the most useful drink on the planet. They do not drink it even as they grow a little older. They do not have this culture, and their parents are guilty of it, since they offer their <strong>children</strong> juices, smoothies, cocoa and other sweetened natural substitutes from an early age, instead of giving their children the most natural liquid for a human being, plain water.</p>
<p>Britain&#8217;s leading dentist Catherine Hurley explains that fruit juices and cocktails, as a rule, are very <strong>acidic</strong>, and their pH levels range from two to three. And every time the environment in the mouth is more acidic than pH 5,5, the teeth get vulnerable to &#8220;acid attacks&#8221;. Parents, of course, understand that their child&#8217;s uncontrolled use of sweets can lead to tooth decay, but they do not know anything about acidity. Propaganda is certainly to be blamed for this, since it makes an emphasis on the harm of sweets, and juices are declared <strong>healthy</strong> drinks. According to Hurley, the most interesting thing is that the terrible picture of the &#8220;deterioration&#8221; of children&#8217;s teeth is observed more frequently in affluent families where parents do not spare money on healthy eating: fruit juices, smoothies, milkshakes&#8230;</p>
<p>So if Hurley&#8217;s message is heard, in the near future the manufacturers may be obliged to warn about the harm caused by fruit and sugary drinks, rather than tell about their health benefits. In the meantime, a good way is to offer your kids a straw if they are so fond of drinking juice instead of water. In addition, if the juice is drunk together with food, its negative impact on the teeth is greatly reduced. And this is the doctors&#8217; second <strong>recommendation</strong>. It will also be good if you drink some plain water after juice, or rinse your mouth with water.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Parents</strong> of teens, be careful! If you are accustomed to winning in debates by means of suppressing your child&#8217;s opinion, he or she will not be able to defend his/her opinion in other situations.<br />
<span id="more-2363"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2364" title="Teenager after argument" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Teenager-after-argument.jpg" alt="Teenager " width="400" height="526" /></p>
<p>A new research, conducted at the University of Virginia, shows that the <strong>teenagers</strong>, who are not able to convincingly prove their position during an <strong>argument</strong> with their mother, find it harder to resist peer pressure. In contrast, other children are able to calmly and persuasively defend their point of view.</p>
<p>Of course, parents should give their <strong>children</strong> an opportunity to use their arguments in the dispute. However, they must first of all learn to listen – to listen to their children&#8217;s opinion to the end, to try to understand the motives which prompted the <strong>child</strong> to commit a particular act. This is the basic pattern of behavior, which the teenager copies and will continuously apply in life, including interaction with peers.</p>
<p>The skill of reasoned argument will be very useful when a classmate or a friend from the neighborhood will offer your child to try alcohol or drugs for the first time. It is not simple to abandon the &#8220;temptation&#8221;, because one can easily do anything &#8220;in a company&#8221;. And if a teen has an argument and the skill of using it, he or she can prove the <strong>peers</strong> that drugs and alcohol will not do any good in one&#8217;s life. At the same time, the teenager will retain the &#8220;reputation&#8221; in a social group, which is so important in this age.</p>
<p>Of course, parents can simply demand compliance with some rules of conduct, but the consequences of such pressure on the child are unpredictable – the teenager may act in the opposite way, thus demonstrating the protest.</p>
<p>Joanna Marie Chango (Ph.D., a post-graduate student in clinical psychology) and her colleagues have tested the adolescents and their <strong>mothers</strong> (because it is mothers who spend the most time with their children). They were offered to discuss any problems and then take part in a simulated hypothetical situation. As a result of these studies, the children, who did not get their mother&#8217;s support and understanding during the <strong>conversation</strong> with her, were more susceptible to peer pressure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>parents</strong> of little capricious eaters can affect their appetite by just offering them another plate as a dinner accessory. The main condition is that it must be multi-colored!<br />
<span id="more-2441"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2442 aligncenter" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/colorful-dishes.jpg" alt="Colorful Table" width="500" height="419" /></p>
<p>The study, conducted by the scientists from Cornell University, has shown that <strong>children</strong>, unlike adults, prefer bright and <strong>colorful dishes</strong>. For example, a child will gladly <strong>eat</strong> even broccoli and fish from a plate, which is decorated with seven different images and painted with 6 <strong>colors</strong>. Adults need only three items and three colors in the picture. So, it is not the parents&#8217; remark, but the color of the plate that is crucial for the child when he or she sees porridge or steamed vegetables.</p>
<p>By the way, last year the British Tesko company invented another way to feed little fastidious <strong>kids</strong> with tasteless cauliflower. The company has raised cauliflower, which is literally colorful. Purple, yellow, green cauliflower is colored this way not because of the use of chemical substances. Cauliflower has just been hybridized with other species, including broccoli.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter is not a very good time for planning and <strong>conceiving</strong> children. That is what many moms and dads think. After all, it is during this time that the levels of prolactin are elevated in the <strong>woman</strong>&#8216;s body. Prolactin is a hormone that suppresses sexual desire and inhibits the ovaries.<br />
<span id="more-2391"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2392" title="Getting Pregnant during winter" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Getting-Pregnant-during-winter.jpg" alt="Pregnancy at winter" width="400" height="339" /></p>
<p>Therefore, oocyte maturation occurs much less frequently in winter than at any other time of the year. Still, there are a lot of babies conceived in winter, just as of those conceived in fall, spring or summer. Now, we shall discuss the pros and cons of <strong>getting pregnant</strong> in winter.</p>
<h3>Why Getting Pregnant in Winter?</h3>
<p>When it is <strong>winter</strong> outside, women&#8217;s sexual desire is inhibited. But as for men&#8217;s desire, cold weather does not influence it. In addition, the U.S. scientists believe that it is best for the couples, who do not yet have <strong>children</strong>, to try their luck in winter. It is proved that sperm production improves in the male body under the influence of frost and cold. Therefore, the chances of conceiving a healthy baby increase during this period.</p>
<p>If you get <strong>pregnant</strong> in winter, the second trimester of pregnancy will be in spring. To be exact, this is the period of rapid emotional recovery. The first greenery appears. Yet it does not mean that the future mom will be able to completely stop taking different multivitamin medicines. They must be taken during all three trimesters.</p>
<p>But the third trimester of pregnancy will fall on summer. You will be able to rest from heavy clothing, and there will be no need to look for bigger winter clothes.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2393" title="Pregnancy Summer" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Pregnancy-Summer.jpg" alt="Summer Pregnancy" width="400" height="555" /></p>
<p>Light dresses and sandals for the future mom &#8211; what could be better? The delivery itself will take place in early autumn. It means that there will be a great selection of fruits and vegetables at your disposal. Eating all these useful products, the newly formed mummy will easily improve the quality of her milk.</p>
<h3>Contra of Winter Conception</h3>
<p>The disadvantages of <strong>winter conception</strong> include the fact that the first trimester of pregnancy will occur during the worst period in terms of epidemiological situation. The fetus is extremely vulnerable in the first couple of months of intrauterine development. Its placental barrier has not yet formed, and the future baby is vulnerable to difficult and dangerous viral infections.</p>
<p>Therefore, <strong>pregnant women</strong> have to thoroughly realize it and follow all the necessary precautions, such as washing hands with soap more frequently, wearing a gauze bandage, and moisturizing their nose.</p>
<p>The second trimester of pregnancy, if the child is conceived in winter, falls on early spring. However, spring cannot particularly please you with vitamins. To improve the situation, you may eat sauerkraut, since this product contains the remains of vitamin C, citrus fruits, carrot-apple fresh juice, green onions, and parsley.</p>
<p>The <strong>expectant mother</strong> goes through the third trimester of pregnancy in mid-summer. She may be annoyed at edema. It is also important for the future mom to avoid frequent exposure to the sun, especially from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., not to drink more than 1.5 liters of liquid per day.</p>
<p>By the way, the scientists from England have noticed that the babies expected in fall, are in no hurry to be born: their planned birth is often delayed. Physicians do not yet know how to explain this phenomenon. This tendency might be linked with natural biorhythms, which can compel the body to slow down its livelihood.</p>
<p>So, planning to conceive in winter or not is up to you. In any case, the most important thing for the baby is to be wanted, and then loved!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You shouldn&#8217;t have smiled, seeing this headline. In fact, the mission of the <strong>pregnant woman</strong>&#8216;s brain is the most noble one: it only remembers what it really needs at this period of the future mother&#8217;s life.<br />
<span id="more-2381"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2382" title="Pregnantcy" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Pregnantcy.jpg" alt="Short-term memory loss during pregnancy" width="400" height="369" /></p>
<p>Laura Glynn, a psychologist from Chapman University in California, has held a number of studies that prove the idea that pregnant women do suffer from short-term<strong> memory loss</strong>, and the <strong>brain</strong> as if focuses on the needs of the child, while everything else is in the background.</p>
<p>Especially if it is not the first <strong>pregnancy</strong>, expectant mothers know that it is this temporary happy condition which makes them extremely forgetful. They can fail to remember what they have been doing, where they have put the car keys, what day of the week it is. But it does not matter, and neither the pregnant woman, nor the people around her should be scared by it. Be sure the &#8220;brain will get back in its place&#8221; exactly at the moment when the baby is born. One will need extreme concentration, good reaction and endurance, so the body is prepared in advance by accumulating energy.</p>
<p>Dr. Glynn explains that these changes make a woman absent-minded, <strong>forgetful</strong> and extremely sensitive. They can be caused by hormonal changes in her body, by the moving of the fetal cells into the mother&#8217;s bloodstream (the scientists believe that these cells are attracted to certain brain areas), and the movements of the fetus. And even if the child moves almost imperceptibly, any change in the position of its body increases the heart rate of the <strong>expecting mother</strong>. In addition, pregnancy is a critical period for the development of the central nervous system of the woman, but, unfortunately, the scientists do not know practically anything about it. The only thing we can say for sure is that all these components taken together affect the pregnant woman&#8217;s brain, making it so&#8230; &#8220;absent-minded&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some <strong>children</strong>, who have had sleep problems as a baby, experience the same difficulties later.<br />
<span id="more-2417"></span><br />
<a href="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/sleep-disorders3.s600x600.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2419" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/sleep-disorders3.s600x600.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="282" /></a><br />
The researchers from the University of Chicago asked 359 mothers to fill out a questionnaire in order to find out whether their kids of nursery school age had sleep <strong>problems</strong>. It was found that 10% of children, who had had these difficulties in infancy, did not get rid of them ever since.</p>
<p>The symptoms of poor <strong>sleep</strong> can be characterized by snoring, the syndrome of &#8220;restless legs&#8221;, the difficulty in falling asleep (more than 15-20 minutes), nightmares, insomnia, and night terrors.</p>
<p>It is needless to say, that restless sleep affects the child&#8217;s daily activities in a negative way. Sleep is an important part of development. The development of cognitive skills and the ability to think, learn and analyze also depend on whether the <strong>child</strong> gets enough sleep, especially at the age from 1 to 3 years.</p>
<p>Not all parents pay attention to the child&#8217;s snoring. Such a situation is normal if the <strong>baby</strong> has a cold, but there should be no <strong>snoring</strong> in the baby&#8217;s usual state. Snoring during sleep is a clear message that the child may be prone to sleep apnea and various breath problems during sleep. If the disease <strong>develops</strong> and is not treated, the consequences can be very unpleasant: an increased risk of hypertension, heart <strong>disease</strong>, obesity and diabetes.</p>
<p>If you notice that your child has sleep problems, try to stick to the regime, walk in the fresh air more often, offer your child to play active outdoor games, and provide him or her with a healthy diet. If you cannot get rid of the problem in such a way, go to the doctor immediately, especially in the case of sleep apnea.</p>

<p>According to them, 60% of the <strong>women</strong>, who are taking the appropriate supplements during the course of IVF, <strong>get pregnant</strong>.</p>
<p>Dr. Rina Agrawal claims that the pills contain substances such as vitamins A, C, E, zinc, selenium, and folic acid that can increase <strong>fertility</strong> and that our diet usually lacks.</p>
<p>The scientists have tested this theory on 56 women aged 18-40 years. All of them were unsuccessfully trying to conceive a baby during the last year, using the <strong>IVF</strong> technology.</p>
<p>One half of the women, who participated in the experiment, received miltivitamins daily, and the other half had only pills with folic acid (which is believed to help get pregnant). As a result, it turned out that 60% of the women from the first group successfully conceived a child in the first three months. In the second group, only 25% of the women got pregnant after three months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why don&#8217;t our children like to eat <strong>vegetables</strong>? One of the reasons may be sensitivity to bitterness.<br />
<span id="more-2365"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2366" title="Children cook vegetables" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Children-cooking-vegetables.jpg" alt="Children Dont Like Veggies" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>This phenomenon is quite common among <strong>children</strong>. For example, 70% of the kids, who participated in the study conducted by American scientists in the laboratory for the study of obesity, said that they would rather be drawn to an apple or a banana than eat lettuce or even less desirable <strong>Broccoli</strong>.</p>
<p>Dr. Jennifer Orlet Fisher, who led the study, says that the gene TAS2R38, which is responsible for the way we perceive the <strong>bitter taste</strong>, should be blamed for it.</p>
<p>What does the doctor recommend to the parents, whose children fail to eat useful vegetables? One should just reduce their taste with low-fat yogurt or buttermilk and add applesauce or hummus to the salad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Kourtney Kardashian</strong> is mother to son Mason, 2, but it has been revealed recently that she has got another <strong>baby</strong> on the way &#8211; although it wasn’t very much noticeable on her waistline when she turned up in a black dress at Kardashian Khaos, a boutique in the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, in the company of her everpresent boyfriend Scott Disick and other family members.<br />

<p>How does it affect her <strong>eating habits</strong>? Kourtney is on a <strong>diet</strong> which does not come from a doctor but her own stomach.</p>
<p>She eats anything – that is, that her stomach allows her to, which is not much. This time around, she says, “there is less I can tolerate.”</p>
<p>Some more time should pass before the 32-year-old Kourtney and Kim Take New York star learns the sex of the <strong>child</strong>, but she gives out that she has a pretty shrewd guess. Nevertheless, being asked if she cared to know, she said she did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The British fashion and tabloid press anticipates the major news, that is the <strong>pregnancy</strong> of <strong>Kate Middleton</strong>, the Duchess of Cambridge. At the interviews, she is flooded with questions about the estimated date of conception. <span id="more-2443"></span>Being in the agonizing expectation of the news about the procreation of the royal family, the Tatler fashion magazine decided to devote the February issue to Kate. The cover has the portrait of the Duchess and the huge headline &#8220;What to Expect When You&#8217;re Expecting?&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2444" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Is-Kate-Middleton-Too-Lean-for-Pregnancy.jpg" alt="Slim Kate Middleton" width="400" height="519" /></p>
<p>The article is devoted to Kate&#8217;s happy marriage with Prince William. The <strong>duchess</strong> also jokes about the boom of the news around her pseudopregnancy.</p>
<p>The public is very concerned about the health of the heir&#8217;s to the British crown future mother. Before the wedding, Kate Middleton used to have the British 10th size, but the tedious preparation for the wedding and all the experiences have contributed to her rapid <strong>weight loss</strong>. Now Kate is wearing size 6. The supporters of the Duchess are seriously worried whether the 30-year-old Kate is able to give birth to a healthy <strong>baby</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Is-Kate-Middleton-Too-Lean-for-Pregnancy-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2445" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Is-Kate-Middleton-Too-Lean-for-Pregnancy-2.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="260" /></a></p>
<p>A source in the British media reports that Kate is actively involved in sports in order to &#8220;build muscle&#8221;, after she was criticized for being too thin in her arms and legs. They say that at school Kate was much mocked at because of her being <strong>skinny</strong>, and that is why Kate is still incredibly shy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flynn Christopher, <strong>Miranda Kerr</strong> and <strong>Orlando Bloom</strong>’s first child, celebrated his <strong>first birthday</strong> on January 6 with family members and several friends attending. Five of the guests were Flynn’s friends of the same age, and there were things to enjoy for grown-ups and little ones alike.<br />
<span id="more-2431"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2432" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/miranda-kerr-240.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>The one-year-old’s great surprise was the first ever cake in his life! Kerr, who graced the occasion with her cooking, shared the details with PEOPLE as she debuted as the Qantas airways ambassador. It was an organic cake, gluten-free, she said Thursday, and <strong>Flynn</strong>, who had never seen one before, started the celebration with putting his face in it.</p>
<p>The happy parents also called in a balloon man to provide balloons – which Flynn adores – in large quantities. There were also activities for the boy’s friends.</p>
<p>The inexperienced baby was able to last for only a couple of hours, added the Victoria’s Secret Angel, 28. Then the boy adjourned for his nap.</p>
<p>It’s new discoveries for Flynn’s parents every day, Kerr said, as he is exploring his abilities and “almost walking,” making his parents proud of him.</p>
<p>Bloom, 35, is always there to play his dad’s part, she added, delighting her with the way he rises to the occasion every time and feeling glad to be a father.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pregnancy puts on extra pounds on a <strong>woman</strong>. Some women put on just a few that they lose right after the baby is born, and some unlucky women even put on hundreds. <span id="more-2439"></span>It all depends on the woman and her nutrition, body type, and other uncontrollable factors. After having a <strong>baby</strong>, of course most women want to get rid of the extra pounds. One idea is to have liposuction to get rid of the excess fat.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2036" title="Mother with a Lean Body" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Woman-diet.jpg" alt="Woman after Liposuction" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>There are a few pros and a few cons to this procedure. Technically after giving birth to a child and waiting about 6-8 months, there is nothing wrong with having liposuction, especially if it is going to help you feel better as a woman and therefore as a mom. It is advised however to wait at least that amount of time to give your body time to heal from the damage done by the arduous process of <strong>childbirth</strong> and to get back to a somewhat normal health level. The issues with liposuction is that it removes the fat, but fat can grow back. If you don&#8217;t learn how to maintain your weight and follow the doctor&#8217;s orders during the <a title="Liposuction Information" href="http://www.liposuctioncost.com/liposuction-recovery" target="_blank">liposuction recovery</a> stage then it will be pointless. In a matter of weeks, you&#8217;ll be back to square one. It can also be dangerous if too much fat is removed. If you are opting for <strong>liposuction</strong> do not opt for more than 6-8 pounds in one session. Even this is usually divided into two sessions.</p>
<p>Another alternative to liposuction might be a tummy tuck or <a title="Abdominal Liposuction" href="http://www.liposuctioncost.com/tummy-tuck" target="_blank">tummy liposuction</a>. A <strong>tummy</strong> tuck can get rid of the <strong>excess skin</strong> and might give you a more permanent, lasting result as opposed to liposuction after the birth of a child. However, moms planning to have this procedure must be done with having more children as it involves having the skin on the tummy area permanently improved. So mothers, the choice is yours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Jessica Capshaw</strong> joined the ranks of the Grey’s Anatomy parents and pregnancies, as became known from her Twitter message.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While a visit to the wildest section of a zoo can be frightening for some kids, a New Zealand kid has proved to the Internet that “little” doesn’t necessarily mean “easily scared.” The video of her confronting a lion at the Wellington <strong>Zoo</strong> earned her the title of “the world’s littlest lion tamer.”<br />

<p>Naturally, there was a safety glass wall between Sofia Walker, 3, and the <strong>lion</strong> Malik, but that did nothing to diminish the ferocity with which the animal tried to get at the girl with his paws. It paused and then continued to strike at the glass making his anger manifest – yet failing to get the undaunted girl to cringe away from the sight.</p>
<p>The Wellington Zoo’s Paul Hatton explained that the threatening pawing was intended to show that Malik wasn’t going to share his breakfast with the <strong>girl</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It might seem that if there is no pain, there is no problem. However, doctors insist that <strong>pain</strong> is necessary: it forces a <strong>woman</strong> to complete the process of <strong>birth</strong> – to strive to end it with the birth of a baby. If there is no pain, there is no desire to make an effort.<br />
<span id="more-2389"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2390" title="Delivery" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Delivery.jpg" alt="Pain during childbirth" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>According to Doctor of obstetrics Dennis Walsh from the University of Nottingham, England, the pain during <strong>childbirth</strong> has its own advantages for both mother and baby. He emphasizes that <strong>painkillers</strong>, such as epidural, violate the natural process of psychological connection between the mother and the child.</p>
<p>Dr. Walsh says that labor pain often helps to regulate the time of delivery, reinforces psychological connection between the mother and the baby, and prepares the woman for motherhood responsibilities.</p>
<p>Over the past 20 years, the use of <strong>epidural anesthesia</strong> has doubled. In fact, it is used only on demand of women in labor, even despite the fact that the medicine increases medical risks during childbirth and despite the availability of alternative and less invasive ways to control pain symptoms.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, according to Dr. Walsh, the pain has positive physiological effects, allowing to set the rhythm for the <strong>contractions</strong> and activate the production of endorphins, the hormones that help to adapt to the feeling of pain.</p>
<p>The doctors have noted that the use of epidural anesthesia facilitates side effects, such as the need for hormone replacement therapy during labor and the use of forceps for the child to be born safely.</p>
<p>According to the research by Swedish doctors, one should not overuse these painkillers at least because of the fact that the risk of <strong>drug addiction</strong> among the adolescents, whose mothers received morphine drugs during labor, is five times higher.</p>
<p>The nervous system of the baby &#8220;remembers&#8221; the narcotic analgesic. And then, if one day the teenager gives it a try, there will develop a fast and strong addiction.</p>
<p>Dr. Walsh says that alternative methods of <strong>reducing pain</strong> are safer for both the mother and the newborn baby. For instance, he suggests using the technique of hypnosis, massage, yoga, and birthing pools.</p>
<p>It is believed that the woman, who is psychologically ready to deliver a baby, who is able to breathe properly, is well aware of all the phases of labor, who is able to control herself and is aimed at the result, can cope well without painkillers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it became clear that a young Englishwoman had got <strong>pregnant</strong> again despite taking the <strong>contraceptive</strong> pill, the doctors decided that she simply had not followed the instructions as for taking it. But she became pregnant again and again, though she had referred to a more reliable method of intrauterine spiral.<br />
<span id="more-2394"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2395" title="Gemma Potter with family" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Gemma-Potter-with-family.jpg" alt="Gemma Potter got pregnant despite contraceprion" width="450" height="316" /></p>
<p><strong>Gemma Potter</strong>, the resident of the English city of Plymouth, is only 23 years old now. In 2006, when she met her future husband, she was a very young girl. Their love was passionate and mutual, but soon Gemma noticed a strange thing: all the contraceptives, which she resorted to, were completely ineffective.</p>
<p>As a result, she has given birth to three <strong>children</strong> during 5 years, and two pregnancies ended in miscarriages.</p>
<p>But the most piquant is the fact that the woman with three children and a young mother – judging by modern standards – is pregnant for the sixth time, although she took every precaution to prevent <strong>pregnancy</strong>.</p>
<p>Gemma and her husband Glenn made love no more than three times from the beginning of September until early December – once a month, as it turns out. The woman was very worried that she would get pregnant once again. But there was no way to escape her fate. Neither pills, nor intrauterine devices and hormone injections could help her. During the fall, she and Glenn used condoms, but Gemma still got pregnant.</p>
<p>At first, the doctors, whom she spoke with, only smiled and advised her to comply with the prescribed rules for the use of various contraceptive methods more carefully. But now they look at the woman as a kind of a medical phenomenon.</p>
<p>Gemma complains she has forgotten what a party with friends is like. She has forgotten the taste of champagne, whiskey, and wine. She will never be able to find a good job again, and all of that is because she is constantly pregnant. Gemma loves her children and her husband, but she is terribly afraid to once again discover that she is pregnant.</p>
<p>The woman decided that in future she would take advantage of this feature of her organism. After giving <strong>birth</strong> to their fourth child, Gemma is going to become a surrogate mother.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nine years ago a 5-year-old boy Jordy Lemoine scored a <strong>Billboard</strong> Top 100 with the song about hardships of babyhood called Dur Dur D’Etre Bebe! that rose to No.82. He has been the youngest Billboard hitmaker long enough and now his title goes to a 5-day-old girl chirping about the joy of living – <strong>Beyoncé</strong> and Jay-Z’s first daughter <strong>Blue Ivy Carter</strong>!<br />
<span id="more-2420"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2421" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/beyonce-jay-z.jpg" alt="Beyonce and Jay-Z" width="467" height="320" /></p>
<p>Now it seems almost certain that she will make Billboard history of the earliest debut – in a duet with her papa, of course.</p>
<p>Blue Ivy’s arrival at Lenox Hill Hospital, NYC, on Saturday sent the overjoyed <strong>Jay-Z</strong> to the recording studio where the 42-year-old rapper poured out his feelings – “the most amazing” ones, according to him – in a <strong>song</strong> called <strong>Glory</strong>. The track included Blue Ivy’s vocal talents as she performed background cries to her daddy’s rapping. By current appraisals the duet will debut on this week’s R&amp;B/hip-hop chart on Thursday at No. 74.</p>
<p>Commenting on the newborn’s chart success to the New York Daily News, Bill Werde, the magazine’s editorial director, called it a “historical” event in the charts’ existence of over 70-year span.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the youngest debut hitmaker came home from the hospital on Tuesday. Us Weekly reports that her parents are beyond themselves with emotions. Jay-Z and Beyoncé said they are “in heaven” after the birth that was “extremely peaceful” and offered thanks to all their fans who voiced their love, support and well wishes on the happy occasion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>January 7 is the birthday of <strong>Beyoncé</strong> and Jay-Z’s little girl, and <strong>Blue Ivy Carter</strong> is her <strong>name</strong>. There’s nothing pink about that girl, but she is all done in blue. According to what a source spilled to PEOPLE, the expectant parents even sent out blue Christmas gifts to their friends as a symbolic harbinger of their daughter’s arrival.<br />
<span id="more-2415"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2416" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Beyonce-gives-birth-Ivy-Blue2.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>Fans and friends speculate that the name Ivy is the verbal variation of the Roman number IV, or 4, which plays an eminent part in the lives of Beyoncé and Jay-Z and in turn is played up by them.</p>
<p>Their birthdays fall on the 4th – September for Beyoncé and December for <strong>Jay-Z</strong> – and the day of their marriage was also the 4th (April 2008). It is believed that they had IV tattooed on their ring fingers. Beyoncé’s latest album was also entitled 4.</p>
<p>On the other hand, three of Jay-Z’s albums were named The Blueprint – the first of these came out in 2001, the second, subtitled The Gift &amp; The Curse, in the following year, and The Blueprint 3 was released in 2009. It contains the track A Star Is Born where Jay-Z refers to himself as the paragon rapper, blueprint for all rappers (not for the first time by far!). Therefore, the Blue in his daughter’s name may echo her dad’s musical personality.</p>
<p>There were some who tumbled to the name significance straightaway, as evidenced by a few Twitter messages like the one from @kisssmyDIAMONDS that tied up the Blue to Jay-Z’s The Blueprint, which was in the same breath proclaimed as the rapper’s “hottest album ever.” An @omgitsralph’s tweet linked IVy to IV and 4, known as a special number for Beyoncé, and Blue to Jay-Z’s Blueprint series of albums, thereby tying up both parents in their girl’s name.</p>
<p>Until the parents have confirmed or denied the tie-ups it’s all pure conjecture, of course, but it sounds pretty conclusive.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, another Twitter message from Aunt Solange of Sunday stated that Blue Ivy Carter is the prettiest baby in the world, and no-one doubts that!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone’s planning for the new year – as for <strong>Fergie</strong>’s plans, they are very much <strong>family</strong>-oriented.<br />
<span id="more-2405"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2406" title="Fergie" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fergie.jpg" alt="Fergie plans baby" width="450" height="468" /></p>
<p>Sharing her plans with PEOPLE, Fergie says this year may be the one to expand her family after three years of <strong>marriage</strong> to <strong>Josh Duhamel</strong>, 39. She intends to concentrate on the special man in her life, who has been staying around since 2004.</p>
<p>When asked at the grand opening of The Mirage&#8217;s 1 OAK Las Vegas on New Year whether her family plans include a <strong>baby</strong>, the singer replied: &#8220;Maybe, who knows? We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fergie, 36, got the crowd heated up with Kanye West, but her thoughts are straying in another direction. She is thinking of staying at <strong>home</strong> more, being tired of &#8220;having to sleep in a different city or country every night.&#8221; Redecorating the home is another great 2012 plan – but if the changes will be revolving around a nursery, the singer didn’t say.</p>
<p>But first and foremost is togetherness. What she is looking forward to most is doing things with Duhamel, watch sports events, living out her life without having to keep to a schedule – in other words, have her life “nice and refreshing”!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>LeAnn Rimes</strong> has to keep fighting off <strong>pregnancy</strong> rumors even into 2012. Her Twitter followers seem to be expecting her to bear <strong>Eddie Cibrian</strong>’s baby practically any day now, and she has to tell them to hold their horses time and time again.<br />
<span id="more-2403"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2404" title="LeAnn Rimes with family" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/LeAnn-Rimes-with-family.jpg" alt="LeAnn Rimes did not try to conceive" width="400" height="508" /></p>
<p>On Monday the Nothin’ Better to Do singer for the umpteenth time asked some of her fans to “stop discussing my ovaries,” adding that she had never attempted to <strong>conceive</strong>. In her opinion, <strong>conception</strong> often comes a great problem for couples, some of which have to go on trying for a long time and fail.</p>
<p>The Grammy-winning artist confessed the ongoing <strong>pregnancy rumors</strong> make her feel confused – although she would often laugh at some nitwit speculations she read. She believes it’s a crazy game to concoct articles and false news out of nowhere.</p>
<p>Rimes, 29, is 10-month-long wife to her Northern Lights costar Cibrian, 38, who has two sons, Mason and Jake, from his previous marriage to Brandi Glanville. While she is childless, she is taking care of his <strong>children</strong> looking upon them as her own.</p>
<p>Not that she is all out to replace their mother, as the country singer explained in her blog last September. But raising children “in a loving, safe and proper environment” is always one of a woman’s chief issues.</p>
<p>Her husband, she wrote, had wanted her to regard them as a <strong>family</strong> from the beginning, and she had grown to consider Ciprian’s boys as part of her family whom she is sharing with their biological mother – “and hopefully one day another wonderful man.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <strong>British midwife</strong> had to deliver without assistance. The birth of her <strong>child</strong> began three weeks before the scheduled time. The incident occurred with <strong>Claire Clarke-Wood</strong>, a worker of Croydon University Hospital.<br />
<span id="more-2387"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2388" title="Claire Clarke-Wood" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Claire-Clarke-Wood.jpg" alt="Claire Clarke-Wood gave birth without assitance" width="400" height="339" /></p>
<p>As reported by The Daily Mail, the midwife felt premature <strong>contractions</strong> a few hours after she went home from her work at hospital in the evening of December 10. According to the 28-year-old woman, it was the first birth, so she knew that the contractions would be long. The woman decided to wait, until they subsided.</p>
<p>Despite this fact, the frequency of the contractions continued to increase, and the pregnant woman decided to move to the bathroom. The woman&#8217;s relatives called the team of doctors. However, Clarke-Wood managed to <strong>give birth</strong> to a child before their arrival. She delivered the <strong>baby</strong>, using a small make-up mirror and towels.</p>
<p>The midwife gave birth to a daughter in the morning of December 11. The weight of the newborn girl was about three kilograms.</p>
<p>Clarke-Wood has been working as a midwife at Croydon University Hospital since 2008. According to the newly formed mother, she had assisted the delivery of thousands of women during the period of her work, and many of those women gave birth at home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What <strong>Beyoncé</strong> certainly did was set the whole Internet raving. First she managed to set a Twitter world record last summer when the mark reached 8,868 TPS (tweets per second) upon the singer’s <strong>pregnancy</strong> announcement at the MTV Video Music Awards.<br />
<span id="more-2385"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2386" title="Beyonce" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Beyonce.jpg" alt="Beyonce gave birth" width="380" height="358" /></p>
<p>As the following splash of counter current when conspiracy theorists tried to prove that it was a practical joke and the <strong>baby bump</strong> was really a prosthetic belly petered out ignominiously denied by the singer, the Internet started running up heat all agog for the due date to come.</p>
<p>Although neither Beyoncé and her husband <strong>Jay-Z</strong> nor their reps venture any information at all about the <strong>birth</strong> and there are no official reports, it seems that the silence only serves to add fuel to online gossip, speculation, inferences and poor Photoshop feats.</p>
<p>The Beyoncé Baby Watch did take blogs by storm. From the spate of messages it emerges that the pop diva was taken to a hospital in New York and has already gave birth to a girl, the couple’s first child. The parents named her Tiana-May Carter, borrowing the name from Disney&#8217;s The Princess and the Frog where the first black princess was called Tiana.</p>
<p>There is even an alleged baby photo around showing a rather unprepossessing little one. Wonder how much of this will be officially confirmed?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It will be the first and warmly expected newcomer for <strong>Rachel Uchitel</strong> and her husband <strong>Matt Hahn</strong>! The news were splashed out on her Twitter page, telling that the nightclub manager is into her sixth month of <strong>pregnancy</strong>.<br />
<span id="more-2377"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2378" title="Rachel Uchitel" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Rachel-Uchitel.jpg" alt="Pregnant Rachel Uchitel" width="300" height="317" /></p>
<p>The 36-year-old attracted the attention of the media due to her romantic liaisons with various celebrities including actor David Boreanaz and golfer <strong>Tiger Woods</strong>. Her other important <strong>relationship</strong> was an engagement to investment expert James Andrew O’Grady who perished in the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. It was the subject much discussed on VH1&#8242;s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew on which she appeared in 2010-2011.</p>
<p>Uchitel’s previous <strong>marriage</strong> was to Steven Ehrenkranz, a Wall Street trader whom she had known since childhood, but they were together for four months only.</p>
<p>Speaking to Us Weekly about her marriage to Hahn she said they were happy and are “extremely fortunate to have one another.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While this country hasn’t come round to imposing a ban on giving your kid a <strong>name</strong> that may mar all his life – like it was done in Sweden or New Zealand &#8211; some of our <strong>celebs</strong> keep trying to be so ingenious that there’s no stopping them. <span id="more-2369"></span>Rob Morrow – who called his daughter Tu Morrow – played a good pun, but will it stay as good in a coupla decades? The only comfort left is that he didn’t choose to spell it “Too.” The <strong>child</strong> with the moniker of Kal-el should be tutored from green years not to overreact to other people enquiring when he came over from Krypton.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2370" title="Babies" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Babies.jpg" alt="Names for children" width="400" height="484" /></p>
<p>The problem seems to have evolved into an acute condition since some time around the turn of the previous century, as can be witnessed by the appearance of the book entitled &#8220;How to Name Your Baby without Handicapping It for Life&#8221; (1922) whose author by a bombastic name of Alexander McQueen ought to know a thing or two about the said handicapping. He advises, when <strong>naming</strong> your <strong>children</strong>, to bear in mind both the practical daily use of the name and the understanding that a name has a meaning that will help the child build up personality and destiny.</p>
<p>A <strong>decent name</strong>, according to McQueen, should respond to seven factors – be worthy, positive in its meaning, offbeat, easily pronounceable, distinctive, sex-indicative and finally, must go well with the family name.</p>
<p>Going over the names luminaries handed to their children from the point of view of the right-minded scholar, it looks like some of <strong>celeb parents</strong> would have won his appreciation, while some others would definitely evoke censure.</p>
<h3>As for winning 2011 celeb names, the most noteworthy seem to be:</h3>
<p>For <strong>girls</strong> –</p>
<p>Willow Sage, arguably the most original, from Pink;<br />
the suggestive Monroe from Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon;<br />
Penelope Athena, Tina Fey’s devotion to ancient lore;<br />
Joni from Zac Brown;<br />
Amaya from Mariska Haritgay</p>
<p>For <strong>boys</strong> –</p>
<p>the fantastic Skyler from Rachel Zoe;<br />
Milo from Alyssa Milano and<br />
Marcelo from Ali Landry, both with a pleasant exotic touch;<br />
Flynn from Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom;<br />
Weston from Jenna Fischer</p>
<h3>Worst misnomers in 2011:</h3>
<p>For girls –</p>
<p>the weighting-down Genesis from Viola Davis;<br />
Mirabella Bunny, a funny match-up from Bryan Adams;<br />
Indiana, a tribal touch from Ethan Hawke;<br />
Arlo from Johnny Knoxville;<br />
Mosely from Peyton Manning</p>
<p>For boys –</p>
<p>the childish Bear Blu from Alicia Silverstone;<br />
Spike, an aggressive name from Mike Myers;<br />
Kannon, sounding warlike, from Kevin James;<br />
Diesel from Jennie Finch;<br />
Moroccan Scott from Carey and Cannon.</p>
<p>The list for 2012 will soon start completing too, with an expected nice <strong>boy name</strong> from Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck (arriving brother to Violet and Seraphina). Wonder how far will Jessica Simpson’s and Beyoncé with Jay-Z’s imaginative powers in naming take them?</p>
