The WondaWedge, developed by a physiotherapist for proper back support, allows the mother-to-be to set her own level of support by inflating or deflating.

The WondaWedge is a lightweight, inflatable triangular pillow with a permanently attached mat, offering three different sitting or reclining positions. Made of 'sueded' vinyl, it's easily hand washable, and stows away in a small space when not in use. When deflated, the WondaWedge fits nicely into luggage for travel.

I love coffee and tea and I hate the idea of going without them for so long. I just don't like the idea of decaf coffee, though I'm sure at some point I'll break down and get some and I'll probably find I don't miss the caffeine all that much, but for now, I'm a little too nauseous for coffee anyway.

The "Being Dad" DVD is the perfect gift (even to yourself!) for all expectant parents. Dads-to-be will appreciate hearing the truth from those with been there, done that experience! Moms-to-be will find it a terrific way to engage their partners in their pregnancy with humor, candor, and a refreshing frankness sure to capture their attention.

An additional benefit? Expectant mothers can get a glimpse into what their partner may be thinking. He isn't an insensitive clout after all!

I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back. One day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very out-going kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. "This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday."

It's been said that having a baby is like throwing a hand grenade into a marriage. A hand grenade? Why the violent metaphor for such a precious, peaceful little thing? They're so beautiful. They're so lovable. How can anyone defame such a cutie?

Dr. Robert Bradley developed this method in the late 1940s. The Bradley method emphasizes an extremely natural approach, with few or no drugs and little medical help during labor and delivery. Stressing good diet and exercise during pregnancy, it teaches deep relaxation techniques to manage pain, and educates a woman's husband or partner so they can be an effective coach. Read more.

Lamaze emphasizes pain management through relaxation and breathing exercises. The belief is that a woman in labor is able to condition her responses to contractions through breathing and imagery to reduce her pain. Also, the class stresses education, preparation, and your role as an informed patient. Learn more...
