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.

Our dear friends and clients at Soho Parenting were the centerpiece of an article in the NYT Home Section today on, of course, sleep! Lisa Spiegel and Jean Kunhardt are truly the pioneers in the area of working directly with parents and have helped a long and growing list of grateful families over the past two decades. They have made a difference in countless lives and deserve to be recognized as such – kudos! We are thrilled for this piece.
One of Lisa and Jean’s first protégées, Jill Spivak of Sleepy Planet is also in the article and discusses the sleep consulting business from the left coast. Jill was trained and mentored at SHP under the careful guidance of Lisa and Jean (lucky Jill!). I am so happy to see how well she has encompassed the SHP philosophy and brought it to the sleep deprived parents in LA (with great success). This really speaks volumes to the power of Lisa and Jean how they have cared for families both in their backyard and across the country over the years.
