Are you familiar with a possum belly? No, it's not the fuzzy under belly of an opossum. Actually, it is an antique kitchen cabinet named after the big deep drawers in the lower section of the cabinet. Possum belly kitchen/baking cabinets are from the 1890's - early 1900's era. This possum belly cabinet is made of oak and has been in my family for years. The top of the cabinet has do...

When my belly first started growing enough that I couldn't wear my regular jeans during my pregnancy, I decided to try this belly band so I could keep wearing them for a little longer. The idea behind the band is that you just leave your pants unbuttoned and zip them as much as possible, then put the band over the unzipped and unbuttoned part and over your belly. The elastic band is su...

I saw this book in the internet because I have subscribed in Prevention's e-newsletter and this was part of the offer.

When I was about a month and a half pregnant, my mom took me shopping for some summer maternity clothes. I was really excited because today's styles are very stylish and I figured I could start wearing everything even without a big belly.

I'm not usually a fan of a full panel maternity pant.  They usually leave a funny line in the middle of your stomach and everyone can tell you are wearing maternity pants.  That is not the case with the Secret Belly Fit maternity jeans from Motherhood.I'm just entering the 2nd trimester but already showing.  Most maternity pants are still too big, but not these.  (Re...
