THIS DOES SEEM A NICE NATURAL BIRTH, AND I KNOW IT'S THE DONE THING THING THESE DAYS TO HAVE A NATURAL BIRTH WITH LITTLE OR NO MEDICAL INTERVENTION, WHICH

With my most recent pregnancy, I didn't gain as much as I had with previous pregnancies. Partly because it's just the way it worked out and partially because the newer recommendations are to gain a bit less these days. You're probably wondering what is going to happen with your pregnancy weight gain. Unfortunately, pregnancy is not the time to go carte blanche and eat all you want, you are still subject to adding those extra party pounds. Remember weight gain doesn't have to be the first sign of pregnancy! I did read recently that the average weight gain, in general, is one pound over the holidays, but when you're pregnant it's more of making every bite count. So while you can still enjoy yourself, just remember that moderation is the key to avoiding those extra pregnancy pounds.
In fact, in one study about pregnancy weight gain in women who are obese (BMI above 29), it is being said that not only do they not need to gain a lot of weight, but a neutral gain and even a loss may be perfectly acceptable for these patients. One of the studies talked about the benefits of weight loss in pregnancy, as far as preventing some diseases like pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), gestational diabetes (GD) and it could even help lower the c-section rates. Though, as with any medical study there may be flaws. So before you jump on the band wagon, make sure you read an alternate view before you leap.

Community support groups can reduce neonatal mortality, and lower rates of maternal depression-provided that the population coverage is wide enough and the programmes are appropriately designed. These are the conclusions of two Articles, published Online First in The Lancet. Participatory women's groups have shown promise in trials in Nepal, reducing neonatal mortality by about one-third...
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is preparing to release a statement of warning for sling users. There have been some injuries and even seven deaths for infants in slings. Some of these accidents happened when there was equipment failure, like the sling broke and the baby fell out. Other concerns are the position of the baby and ensuring that the baby doesn't lay facing the wearer's body and smother in the clothing of the wearer. No specific sling manufacturer has been called out.
While I believe that every parent should always consider that any product that you use has limits and risks. The CPSC notes many infant injuries and deaths every year from other products like baby cribs, strollers and toys. All infant gear should be used with a watchful eye, meaning that statement that says "Adult Supervision Required" means just that.
So don't panic over the new announcement. Slings have simply gained enough popularity that there is now a notable number of people using them. And as that number goes up, warnings for using common sense must be used.
