Forty Weeks Founder Julia Beck takes you behind the velvet ropes in the brave new world of Bump and Baby. Pregnancy trends, media coverage of parenting, research and recent findings, celebrity pregnancy and baby, the business that keeps it all in motion are among the topics that Julia covers in her signature candid and open style.
I have no idea what Webster's says about it – but Julia says: Back Labor is the ultimate pain on the way to the most delicious reward! Back labor hurts like a bitch, but it's all worth it in the end. And that about sums up our "lives behind the velvet ropes" here at Forty Weeks. We invite you into our Labor Room – via the Forty Weeks' Back Labor Blog. Read about how we do what we do, and follow along our labor of love that really pays off for our clients, and hear a little about the juicy behind-the-scenes bits, too!
And Forty Weeks wouldn't be who we are without the people – our dedicated crew and the BFFs of Forty Weeks and, of course – you too! We love to hear your comments, so please join in the conversation.
Oh yes, more from the New York Times on mothers and drinking…they do adore this topic. This time the dish was a first-person view of drinking (in moderation, of course) while pregnant by Julia Moskin. And let’s please give her credit, big time – for her honesty and candor. She chronicles her desire to move away from the myriad of pregnancy rules and look for proof. This is mighty bold, considering the chilly chill chill in the air these days:
Pregnant women are told that danger lurks everywhere: listeria in soft cheese, mercury in canned tuna, salmonella in fresh-squeezed orange juice. Our responsibility for minimizing risk through perfect behavior feels vast.
True, and then there is this:
And the public seems to seriously doubt whether pregnant women can be trusted to make responsible decisions on their own.
I do believe this there is a wee bit of irony here - no? The public cares about (UNDERSTATEMENT) pregnancy but not about motherhood? I am, as I keep saying lately, confussed…
