The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy

Beginning with the “10 Greatest Lies About Pregnancy” (number 10: Lamaze works), and ending with postpartum dementia, Vicki Iovine’s Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy has fast become the laywoman’s mouthpiece for the American pregnancy experience. Iovine is irreverent, sassy, and incredibly reassuring as she exposes the “truths” of pregnancy and childbirth, from sex to cellulite to cesareans. Iovine birthed four kids in six years, none of them twins, which certainly qualifies her as an expert.

The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy does reveal Iovine’s particular cultural biases (pregnant or not, most of us don’t have record-producer husbands, hang out with supermodels, or wear size-four pants) and philosophical beliefs (she’s not a particularly strong proponent of natural childbirth or nursing), but, taken with a grain or two of salt, she provides many hilarious moments, acres of advice, and honest reassurance readers will find nowhere else. –Ericka Lutz Read more…

“Baby Fever”

by: Jackie G. Maxwell

Sooner or later, your new baby will develop a fever. It would be a rare child who does not come down with some kind of illness that elevates their temperature. Babies can get fevers for a variety of reasons, and understanding the whys, can help you determine if you should call your doctor. 

On a warm day, and over-dressed baby, particularly an active or squirmy one, can become flushed and hot. When their temperature is taken it is up. The first thing to do is remove some of the clothing, and place the child in a cool spot to rest or play quietly. Take their temperature again in 20-30 minutes, if there are no signs that their distress is increasing. Chances are, it will be headed back towards normal. Sometimes just a very active play session in hot weather, can make a toddler’s temperature go up, and the cure is the same: remove some clothes, and cool down by taking a break. Read more…
