			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <strong>Mexican</strong> woman <strong>Carla Vanessa Perez</strong> is going to become the new world champion in fertility. The local media report says that Carla is pregnant with <strong>nine babies</strong>!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2705" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pregnancy.jpg" alt="Pregnancy Belly" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>According to the doctors, the woman will go into labour before 20 May. Perez says that she is going to deliver six daughters and three sons. Now she is at one of the Mexican hospitals near the border with the United States. Once the future world record was made known, Carla’s pregnancy became one of the most popular topics in the Mexican media.</p>
<p>According to the would-be record holder, the reason for such &#8220;great happiness&#8221; is in <strong>vitro fertilization</strong> that Perez made when she was treated for infertility. The woman has not thought of the babies’ names yet, as she worries about the delivery. The woman also conceals her age and the exact place of residence.</p>
<p>However, there are also sceptics who accuse Carla Perez of a lie. They believe that the woman is just trying to attract more attention. Recently, one of the employees of the hospital, where the future mother is supposedly observed, said he saw Carla’s ultrasound and announced in his speech on the Televisa channel that she was not even pregnant. Now the local authorities are checking this information.</p>
<p>If Carla Perez is really pregnant, the woman will be called the mother with the largest number of children, provided that all of them are born alive. It will be recalled that the last time nine babies were born was in 1971 by an Australian, Geraldine Brodrick. But, unfortunately, none of the five boys and the four girls survived: two were born dead, the rest died six days after the birth.</p>

<span id="more-2702"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2703" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/alessandra-ambrosio.jpg" alt="Alessandra Ambrosio" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>On Monday, May 7 the 31-year-old Brazilian model gave <strong>birth</strong> to a <strong>boy</strong> in Florianopolis, Brazil. His birth was announced on his mother’s Facebook page and by his father, Ambrósio’s fiancé Jamie Mazur, on his Twitter page.</p>
<p>Mazur welcomed his son publicly on the same day, writing “Can’t wait to show u around this crazy place.” Victoria’s Secret Angel posted the news on the following day, daying they are happy and the boy has stolen their hearts.</p>
<p>The boy’s name – Noah Phoenix – was chosen after a long consideration, the parents were trying to come up with something that would sound fine in English as well as in Portuguese, so that Ambrósio’s grandmother could pronounce it.</p>
<p>The couple’s first child is daughter Anja Louise, 3 ½.</p>
<p>Ambrósio and Mazur have been together since 2005; the first announcement concerning the second child came last December, and the gender of the <strong>baby</strong> was made known in April.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last January, before it was time for Beyoncé to go to hospital, she was acutely aware that she was PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful Woman for this year, and she meant to look like one all through the <strong>delivery</strong>! <span id="more-2687"></span>Now she laughs as she remembers how she was <strong>preparing</strong> for it: laying eyebrow wax, arranging her hair, having her feet and nails done and laying some lip gloss. She felt she was ready to strike up a pose of a perfect mom… Until Blue Ivy started to come, and then the focus shifted.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2688" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/beyoncé-shares-her-pre-labor-preparations.jpg" alt="" width="309" height="221" /></p>
<p>In a while &#8211; <strong>Beyoncé</strong> says &#8211; she no longer felt primed and primped, and found consolation only in the fact that it goes for everybody. &#8220;After being pumped with all those fluids and gaining so much <strong>weight</strong> &#8230; I barely recognized myself,&#8221; the pop star confessed.</p>
<p>Then came hours of labor, and Beyoncé found herself worrying about her appearance less and less while her mind turned to her and Jay-Z’s “miracle.” The new mom shared she began to feel connection with her body, her power and – finally – the meaning of what was happening.</p>
<p>Beyoncé came through the delivery with extra 50 pounds, nearly a half of it gained during the last month of pregnancy, and she knew she had to get rid of it. As soon as she started breastfeeding her weight started to come down – and fast! The singer had been <strong>breastfeeding</strong> for 10 weeks and recommends it to all moms as the thing best for both <strong>women</strong> and babies.</p>
<p>After about a month had passed, the 30-year-old mom turned to workouts and diet to drop the rest of the lbs, grading up from walking to running and then to three-four workout sessions a week. A relentless counting of calories was initiated, all things delicious were rigidly excluded without exceptions and cheating… And then Beyoncé was back into her pre-<strong>baby</strong> waist.</p>
<p>She professed to be happy and proud of herself for that achievement that she mostly ascribes to breastfeeding – although she did own up to being some four pounds away from her previous weight. Nevertheless, she acquired a new feeling about her body, an unaccustomed softness that she thinks is due to hormones that “are still in my body.” It is a kind of unexplainable magic, shares Beyoncé, and it leaves her with sheer pride for being a woman.</p>

<p>The couple got acquainted in 1997 while filming a horror movie &#8220;I Know What You Did Last Summer,&#8221; but they began to date only three years later. After another two years, they had a splendid wedding in Mexico, and in 2009 they had a daughter Charlotte Grace.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;They still have date nights all the time and have a normal life. They both came of age in Hollywood and love working, but their home life is more important to them.&#8221;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Mom</strong> is tired and she wants to relax&#8230; But the <strong>child</strong> is constantly trying to draw her attention, crying, screaming, jumping, running. And so a wave of irritation rolls over the poor parent&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-2650"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2651" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/parents-stress.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="397" /></p>
<p>She shouts at the child and may even slap him/her. Do not worry, she is not a <strong>bad mom</strong>. It is just fatigue that leads to a bad mood. Some other reasons will be discussed further in the article.</p>
<h3>Mothers Are Angry Because of Their Helplessness</h3>
<p>Mind that all people tend to get <strong>irritated</strong>, crying and being angry from time to time. Why then be so afraid of these emotions? Many adults are often unable to distinguish between their feelings, emotions, desires, and actions.</p>
<p>Sometimes the usual feeling of annoyance can turn into a desire to scream, cry, or even kick. For a small child it is normal, but an adult should always distinguish between desires and actions, understand his/her feelings, and only then decide whether to act that way.</p>
<h3>What Is Rage?</h3>
<p>Psychologists believe that anger is a quite normal feeling, which is even a little useful. The main thing is to know how to handle it. Anger tells us about the need for change.</p>
<p>It is often small children, who cause rage. Everything happens because of the feeling of helplessness that adults have. We just do not know how to help our <strong>baby</strong> in some situations. What should we do?</p>
<p>To begin with, try to &#8220;tune yourself&#8221; to understand what the baby wants. Then you will need to collect yourself: leave the room, stay alone for some time, and relax from the high-pitched scream. It would be a good idea to call someone and ask for advice.</p>
<p>Bad mood and anger can also be caused by the feeling of fatigue. Do not make yourself a slave to the apartment and the baby. Ask the members of your family for help, you also need to have a rest. Spare more time and attention for yourself. Hire a nanny.</p>
<h3>When and How to Stop Being Angry with Your Baby?</h3>
<p>Sometimes a nervous mom does not even notice what is happening with her baby. And she may even <strong>scare</strong> it with her behavior. Have you seen fear in the baby&#8217;s face? This is a signal to stop! Pull yourself together and apologize to your baby.</p>
<h3>Being Angry &#8220;the Right Way&#8221;</h3>
<ul>
<li>Do not turn your dissatisfaction into permanent accusations. But do not restrain your discontent as well. The best way is to gently explain to your <strong>child</strong> what exactly you do not like.</li>
<li>If you find it difficult to restrain your &#8220;primitive&#8221; rage, do not torture yourself: punch a pillow, tear a towel&#8230; but do it so that the child would not see it.</li>
<li>But the best thing is to beat up a carpet or wash the floor. Thus you will lose your negative emotions and switch to something else. To raise your mood, you can also listen to good music, watch a movie or a cartoon with the child, bake a cake&#8230; You can do virtually anything!</li>
<li>And most importantly &#8211; do not worry! Remember that every mother <strong>screams</strong> at her child at least once in her life. We are not perfect, but we must strive to become perfect!</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Reborn dolls</strong> have become Reborn babies and are taking the world of <strong>mothers</strong> by quiet storm – or at least are primed to do that.<br />
<span id="more-2644"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2645" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/women-play-motherhood-reborn-dolls.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Outwardly the – one even hesitates to call them that – toys are well-equipped for their task, for they are fashioned to resemble real babies as close as can be. Many stores throughout the world have been refitted to turn out Reborns. The production involves sedulous and meticulous long-time handwork so that shop babies could not only look but also feel like the real thing, complete with an electronically provided heart beats and a carefully calculated weight of the head to give the proper balance. Real-looking skin color is achieved by applying 10 and more layers of paint. Hair is fixed through the micro-rooting process by one strand at a time.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2646" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/women-play-motherhood-reborn-dolls-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></p>
<p>Besides the fact that every small detail is taken care of, customization is provided, adding birthmarks and other personalizing features.</p>
<p>The perfect vessel for motherly love, the Reborn babies are sold for prices ranging from $200 to $600 to be carried around, cuddled, and generally adored. While they are ideal for mothers who are mourning over their deceased <strong>babies</strong>, it is not only these who go for the lovely ones. Maybe it is not something to be surprised at?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This does not mean that shaved heads have become fashionable. Such dolls have a completely different purpose. <strong>Bald</strong> dolls are created specifically for the children, who have had <strong>cancer</strong> and chemotherapy.<br />
<span id="more-2627"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2628" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Barbie-Bratz-bald-dolls.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="240" /></p>
<p><strong>Barbie doll</strong> has celebrated its 53rd anniversary quite recently. It has undergone so many changes over the years! Barbie has tried all styles of dress, all possible hairstyles and makeup. She had many different occupations, ranging from a nurse to a diver. She even gave birth to a baby – there was such a doll with an imposed &#8220;tummy&#8221;, wherefrom the baby appeared. And now&#8230; Barbie may have cancer and go through chemotherapy.</p>
<p>It all began with <strong>Bratz</strong> doll, which is often called Barbie&#8217;s friend. Thanks to Facebook, the idea of creating a bald doll collected quite a lot of supporters. This idea was shared with the creators from the Mattel doll company, and they announced, via Facebook again, that they would produce the first doll without hair in June.</p>
<p>Most of the dolls will be sent to the Children&#8217;s Hospital and presented to the girls, who have had alopecia (hair loss) after cancer and radiation therapy.</p>
<p>When the doll goes on sale, every dollar obtained from selling it will be sent to help sick children. It is worth saying that the doll will be magnificent. It will have wigs, accessories, hats, and scarves. All of this should teach the girls, who have suffered from hair loss, to live with this further.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the fans of Barbie dolls are keen on having their doll support <strong>girls</strong> with cancer and have already launched a campaign to collect signatures for the idea. And they say that they may be able to repeat what the fans of the Bratz doll did. They wish Barbie had alopecia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The whole period of <strong>pregnancy</strong> is a great and memorable moment, a real miracle. Every woman is looking forward to this magical state. Let us see what unforgettable impressions pregnancy prepares for you and how <strong>pregnant women</strong> can enjoy every moment of their fortune.<br />
<span id="more-2396"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2397" title="Pregnancy" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Pregnancy.jpg" alt="Momentsof pregnancy" width="350" height="235" /></p>
<h3>Positive Pregnancy Test</h3>
<p>For many women, the sensation of seeing the two strips on the test is the first unforgettable moment of pregnancy. One can spend a few minutes sitting and looking at the positive <strong>pregnancy test</strong>, finding it difficult to believe one&#8217;s own eyes. It is not surprising that many women cry from happiness.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2398" title="Pregnancy test" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Pregnancy-test.jpg" alt="Positive pregnancy test" width="350" height="334" /></p>
<h3>First Ultrasound</h3>
<p>It is better to share the joy of the first ultrasound with a beloved one. It is so pleasant to worry and to be happy together with your husband, as you see your baby on the screen moving its little hand, and as you see its heart beating.</p>
<p>After the <strong>ultrasound</strong>, one can truly understand that a new life is born inside you. For men, the test is a simple piece of paper, and the ultrasound is a real proof of paternity. Some women will never forget how men first kiss their tummies after the ultrasound.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2399" title="Pregnancy Ultrasound" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Pregnancy-Ultrasound.jpg" alt="Ultrasound during pregnancy" width="350" height="273" /></p>
<h3>Finding Out Baby&#8217;s Gender</h3>
<p>For all the parents, the moment when the doctors tell you the sex of your <strong>baby</strong> is both unexpected and bright. The baby seems to acquire a new face and becomes closer and more understandable. Many women feel as if they have learned of their pregnancy once again. It is even logical to cry with happiness and excessive emotions.</p>
<p>Do not forget to ask your doctor to make the first photo or video of your baby! You will want to look at your little baby many times.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2400" title="Baby gender" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Baby-gender.jpg" alt="Gender of baby" width="350" height="234" /></p>
<h3>First Fetal Movements</h3>
<p>The first sensation of the baby&#8217;s<strong> movement</strong> is undoubtedly a very interesting and memorable moment. It is a favorite pastime for many women to watch the baby roll over so actively.</p>
<p>You can sit back, relax and look at those bumps that appear and disappear on the tummy. Each woman will confirm what happiness it is to feel a baby inside! During the first fetal movements you are well aware of being a mother.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2401" title="Fetus Movements" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fetus-Movements.jpg" alt="Unforgettable fetus movements" width="350" height="238" /></p>
<h3>Pregnant Photoshooting</h3>
<p>Be sure to take a <strong>photo</strong> of your growing tummy. Changing the female figure is another proof of expecting a child. All pregnant women look very calm, happy, and inspired in the photos.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2402" title="Pregnancy shooting" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Pregnancy-shooting.jpg" alt="Pregnancy photos" width="350" height="438" /></p>
<p>What a great many of wonderful happy moments and emotions you are going to experience during pregnancy! You should be patient and enjoy every moment of this &#8220;interesting&#8221; situation!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>British doctors are sounding the alarm. <strong>Tight</strong> swaddling of <strong>babies</strong> is coming back into fashion in this country after being forgotten about 25 years ago.<br />
<span id="more-2566"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2567" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Tight-Swaddling.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>Many British mothers believe (not without the help of some doctors, misguided in this matter) that tight <strong>swaddling</strong> helps the <strong>newborn</strong> feel more secure. However, this practice of swaddling &#8211; when both arms and legs are held tightly to the baby &#8211; weakens the joints of the child. This is confirmed by the statistics of recent years: there has been a growing number of cases of <strong>hip dysplasia</strong> in newborns in Britain.</p>
<p>Professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Southampton, Dr. Nicholas Clarke, believes that there is no need for tight swaddling of babies. It is necessary to leave enough space for the baby to bend its legs, because there is still plenty of time for them to &#8220;straighten out&#8221;. It will take about a year before the child makes the first steps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Adriana Lima</strong> took a 2-year vacation from bearing after delivering her first child, Valentina, but she never meant it to be a long one – and now the 30-year-old model is <strong>pregnant</strong> with her second baby!<br />
<span id="more-2571"></span><br />
<img src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Adriana-Lima.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2575" /></p>
<p>Lima’s marriage to Serbian basketballer Marko Jaric, 33, began with a romantic elopement on St. Valentine’s Day three years ago, and it looks as if they aren’t going to be unmindful about children! The news came on Twitter with the model’s Tuesday message telling that she and Marco would like to share with everyone the wonderful news of her <strong>pregnancy</strong>.</p>
<p>Her family is happy, added the Victoria’s Secret face on the microblogging site, saying that “my favorite job in the world is being a <strong>mom</strong>!”</p>
<p>Valentina may well have been a good incentive for that statement, with her mother gushing to Us Weekly in 2010 that it was the first time she was hurrying home every day to see her little girl. Lima also spoke of discoveries she was constantly making about Valentina. Last August she told the New York Post that the 2-year-old was already speaking <a title="Adriana Lima's Daughter Speaks Three Languages" href="http://geniuspregnancy.com/celebrities/adriana-lima-daughter-is-polylingual.html" target="_blank">English, Serbian and Portuguese</a>.</p>
<p>On March 28 we will see the happy mother’s gorgeous bikini bod in the <strong>Victoria’s Secret</strong> Swim catalog for 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>James Van Der Beek</strong> and Kimberly have been husband and wife since August 2010, and they are already happier by two children! Their first daughter, Olivia, is 17 months old, and now she is joined by a younger brother.<br />
<span id="more-2554"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2555" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/James-van-der-Beeks-Wife-Gives-Birth-Son1.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>The 35-year-old actor’s Twitter message said that a son was born to the couple on March 13, Tuesday. Van Der Beek acknowledges his wife’s role in the birth, but writes as if he had the <strong>child</strong> himself, so overwhelmed by feelings is he.</p>
<p>He further wrote that fatherhood had “heart expanding” in a way that would stop all the wars if it could be shared with the mankind.</p>
<p>The couple made known that they were <strong>expecting</strong> their second in October. They had been blessed with the birth of Olivia and didn’t think the feeling could be much deeper when they had become aware that Olivia’s sibling was on the way, wrote Van Der Beek back then.</p>
<p>The actor has his new series coming out mid-April on ABC, entitled Don’t Trust the B – in Apt. 23.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Emily Deschanel</strong> and her husband actor David Hornsby’s 5-month-old son is racing on at a speed that surprises his mom – and, accidentally, he increased his biting ability quickly!<br />
<span id="more-2543"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2544" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/emily-deschanel.jpg" alt="Emily Deschanel" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>Particulars about little Henry’s life came to light last Thursday at a Bones press conference as Deschanel revealed to PEOPLE that the boy had cut two teeth – “very advanced for his age,” gushed the mother, changing it for a milder “unusual” on second thoughts.</p>
<p>There was also a mention of the Bones baby, the long-awaited child of Brennan and Booth in Season 7. The scene of the baby’s birth turned out to be unexpectedly more difficult as the <strong>baby</strong> peed on Deschanel and her film partner David Boreanaz.</p>
<p>It was actually the second time the 35-year-old star was peed on that day – and “by two different babies,” cried she saying that Henry had got there before.</p>
<p>Yet these minor troubles don’t detract from the fact that the actress is overwhelmed by her <strong>motherhood</strong>. “Henry’s awesome,” she shared with reporters, adding that she enjoys the experience – though it involves far less sleep!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Linda Cardellini</strong> has got her <strong>baby</strong> born on the leap day! What she called back in December “a wonderful, thrilling event” finally happened.<br />

<p>The 36-year-old actress let know that she was <strong>pregnant</strong> in October, but hardly did she guess that she would give birth on February 29. Well, she did! It is her first child with boyfriend Steve Rodriguez, as confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE by Cardellini’s rep. It’s a <strong>girl</strong>, and they named her Lilah-Rose!</p>
<p>The actress, known for her roles on Freaks and Geeks, E.R. and Return ponders now about the responsibility of having a life so completely dependent on her – therefore she feels “slightly terrified.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nicole Polizzi</strong>, aka <strong>Snooki</strong>, keeps trying to smother the circulating rumors of her <strong>pregnancy</strong> while the circumstantial evidence is piling up – for how long?<br />
<span id="more-2526"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2528" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/snooki-spotted-1.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>The rumors first sprang up at the beginning of February, upon which Polizzi issued a public vehement denial on Good Morning America. Last week the New York Post came up with the information that the 25-year-old reality star is into her fourth month with a baby by her boyfriend Jionni LaValle. When PEOPLE asked for confirmation, Polizzi’s rep said no comment was forthcoming.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2527" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/snooki-spotted.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="420" /></p>
<p>But some recent photos of the Jersey Shore star seem to bear out the <strong>rumors</strong> as she is seen sporting a different clothes style. Inconclusive evidence yet, because no bump is visible, her leopard print blouse is fairly loose – which is a digression from her former preference for tight clothing. Also – caught on film in Jersey City on Thursday – the actress was covering her stomach with a large handbag.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new study, held at the University of California (San Francisco), showed that the infants, whose mothers suffer from <strong>migraines</strong>, are most likely to have problems with colics.<br />
<span id="more-2503"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2504" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/colic-baby.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="282" /></p>
<p>Apart from that, more severe <strong>colics</strong> in infants in comparison to their peers may be an early sign that the child will be predisposed to migraine later in life, since it is a genetic disease and can be transmitted from mother to child.</p>
<p>That is the conclusion reached by the U.S. scientists after interviewing 150 mothers with infants. The children, whose <strong>mothers</strong> had a history of migraines, were 2.5 times more likely to suffer from colics, than those, whose mothers did not have this disease. The percentage correlation of the reported results is 29% and 11% respectively.</p>
<p>The scientists emphasize that the data are not representative so far, because the poll needs thousands of moms with <strong>babies</strong> to be interviewed, and not hundreds. But now we can say that the result is quite interesting, and both the mothers, who suffer from migraine, and their children, suffering from colic, can start an adjusted therapy, based on the new data.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Premature babies, born via <strong>Cesarean section</strong>, may face the 30% higher risk of serious <strong>breath problems</strong>.<br />
<span id="more-2488"></span><br />
<a href="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/baby.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2489" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/baby.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="302" /></a><br />
This was reported by the researchers from the School of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Respiratory distress syndrome, which occurs primarily in premature infants and can lead to breathing problems, blindness and brain damage, is the most common in babies, born via Cesarean section. The researchers have analyzed the data associated with the premature birth of 2,560 <strong>children</strong> (25 to 34 weeks of pregnancy) in New York&#8217;s hospitals from 1995 to 2003. 54% of the births took place with the use of Cesarean section. Later, 30% of the <strong>infants</strong> had breath problems.</p>
<p>The head of the research, Eric Werner, comments on the results of the research of his group saying that he is acutely aware as a physician that the rate of cesarean section among modern women is growing every year. And the surgery is often carried out not for medical reasons. Werner also says that the use of Cesarean section for premature babies is not always justified, since it does not provide protection from adverse consequences. And this surgery is necessary only in extreme cases, when it comes to saving the lives of mothers and children.</p>
<p>Werner also stresses that future mothers should clearly understand that by agreeing to Cesarean section for aesthetic reasons or for fear of giving birth on their own, they risk the health of the child. This is a serious <strong>surgery</strong>, which may be associated with complications.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sienna Miller</strong> chose to be oysterish about her private life, but now the signs are too obvious for concealment: the actress is engaged and <strong>pregnant</strong>!<br />

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2494" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/sienna-miller.jpg" alt="Sienna Miller" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>As for her going the family way, her <strong>baby bump</strong> was very much to the fore when she showed up in Manhattan at the Park Avenue Armory opening reception for W magazine&#8217;s &#8220;Ever Changing Face of Beauty&#8221; exhibit late Tuesday. She wore a tight black halter dress that played up her condition advantageously.</p>
<p>The 30-year-old actress has also been sporting a large diamond and platinum sparkler since last week, clear witness of a proposal from the baby’s father, actor Tom Sturridge, 26.</p>
<p>The British movie couple maintained a healthy relationship for more than a year. Her friends were delighted with her choice, opened up a source to PEOPLE last month. Although Sturridge is a little younger than Miller, “he’s mature and he’s a good guy.”</p>
<p>The source added that their friends were hardly surprised that their relationship had brought about engagement and pregnancy, for they were evidently heading that way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Blue Ivy Carter</strong> has begun to come out – for which purpose a new official site has been created. It is carrying a number of photographs of <strong>Jay-Z</strong> (born Shawn Carter) and Beyonce’s daughter who is into her 5th week.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new study shows that with age, under certain conditions a girl can develop <strong>breast</strong> thickening, which is a serious risk factor for <strong>cancer</strong>. If a <strong>mother</strong> gives birth to a girl when she is over 39, and if before puberty the girl is taller and thinner than her peers, she has a high chance of getting breast cancer.<br />
<span id="more-2461"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2462" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/breast-cancer.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>Virginia Loup, the author of the study, explains that it is associated with an increased content of hormones. The <strong>risk</strong> of cancer is also caused by the speed of a girl’s maturation. If breasts begin to grow too rapidly, the predisposition to cancer evolves, as well.</p>
<p>Medical Express reports that <strong>breast cancer</strong> remains a genetic condition, but other factors also have influence – for example, the age when a woman gives birth to her first child and the number of children.</p>
<p>The study is published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did Sherlock Holmes ever have a child? They won’t tell about it in the film, but he did. <strong>Robert Downey Jr.</strong> and his wife <strong>Susan Downey</strong> welcomed a son on Tuesday, at 7:24 a.m., as confirmed by the actor’s rep.<br />
<span id="more-2463"></span><br />
<a href="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Robert-Downey-Jr..jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2469" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Robert-Downey-Jr..jpg" alt="Robert Downey Jr." width="315" height="315" /></a></p>
<p>Us Weekly informs that the new Hollywood <strong>baby</strong>, named Exton Elias Downey, was born 7 lbs 5 oz, 20 inches from pate to toe and perfectly healthy. The sex had been known from December when Downey and his wife got back from their late fall Hawaiian holiday romp.</p>
<p>Afterwards the Game of Shadows star, 46, discussed the expected arrival light-heatedly with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, telling the host that he thought he was taking his wife’s pregnancy harder than she did, joking about &#8220;the hormones on and the mood stuff and the nausea and the whole thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>When E! News reminded him in October of a struggle with dirty diapers awaiting him, he brushed it off casually promising to deal with poop easily.</p>
<p>Exton Elias is Robert Downey Jr.’s second <strong>son</strong> (the first being Indio, 18, by ex-wife Deborah Falconer), but the first for his wife producer Susan Downey, 38.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Beyoncé</strong> has good reasons to appear in public – and nothing to be shy for, even though it’s only a month since she and Jay-Z welcomed their hit singer <strong>baby</strong>, Blue Ivy Carter. For her figure is as voluptuous as ever.<br />
<span id="more-2465"></span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2466" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beyonce.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>Her first <strong>post-baby</strong> appearance occurred Monday night at her hubby’s double concert at Carnegie Hall, NYC. The 30-year-old mother turned up dressed in an Alice Temperly thing, merrily orange and clinging to her gorgeous hips, with a pair of towering heels – an eyeful, as usual.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2467" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beyonce-4-300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>Jay-Z’s show, which was to benefit his Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way, expectedly included Glory, the song that he recorded with vocal assistance of their newborn daughter, 2 days old then.</p>
<p>Later the rapper told the audience he had feared lest he should break down during his performance of the hit.</p>
<p>When asked by New York’s Daily News about the concert later Monday, Beyoncé called it “amazing.”</p>
<p>Afterwards she followed her husband to a party at the 40/40 club in a somewhat stealthy fashion, avoiding the red carpet, hurrying through the side door to her husband who had arrived in a Maybach about half an hour before her.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Neil Patrick Harris</strong> knows how to deal with <strong>children</strong>, even though he and his partner David Burtka are only parents for 15 months. He has a knack that he had learned from his parents.<br />
<span id="more-2455"></span><br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-2459 aligncenter" src="http://geniuspregnancy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Neil-Patrick-Harris.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p>Harris treats his and Burtka’s twins, boy Gideon and girl Harper, born in October 2010, as if they were his peers – as he told PEOPLE. That’s the attitude his father and mother took with him and his brother, he recalled. They used to <strong>talk</strong> to them “like we were regular people and not babies.”</p>
<p>Consequently the actor and magician never uses <strong>baby</strong> talk but talks to his twins as if they understood everything and are just temporarily unable to respond.</p>
<p>He rejoices in the company of his babies whom he describes as the perfect young ones to raise the man’s spirits – “huggy, clingy, head-on-shoulders,” giving Harris, 38, and Burtka, 36, “fantastic” experience.</p>
<p>Last weekend, nevertheless, the couple took leave of the babies to attend Audi&#8217;s Penthouse party on Friday night and then the Super Bowl in Indianapolis, Ind.</p>
<p>Before they left Harris tweeted that he was all agog to explore the place and spend a Super Bowl weekend and just didn’t know what to begin with. He thought of going to a football game on Sunday, but had a sudden change of heart on the eleventh hour.</p>
<p>There were crowds everywhere, he shared with PEOPLE, telling he lost the desire to hang about the town. “It’s madness.” What he seemed to have preferred was a quiet evening with a book.</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>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>
