It’s no surprise that a pregnancy stereotype is that pregnant woman have to pee so often. As your baby grows, and the uterus expands, pressure is put on your pelvic muscles. One in three women, in their first pregnancy will experience an unexpected leak by the third trimester. Even after birth, seven percent of women will experience leakage because pregnancy and delivery creates a decline in your ability to control the muscles that support the...

By: Jennifer Lubell How to Deal with and Deflect their comments The attack is sneakier than a Scud missile...and before you know it, you feel bewildered, bruised, and seeking shelter. No, I'm not talking about the great white shark from Jaws, or the IRS, or seasonal flu. I'm talking about those “judgmental moms” you run into at birthday parties, the playground or even at PTA meetings, eager and ready to flatten you down, at a second's...

You know the saying “It takes a village to raise a child”? Sometimes after birth, that “village” is small – very small. With grandparents that might still be working or family living far away, you may be faced with only a few days off your partner can take and then you are on your own with your new baby who is changing every day. Solution: expanding your network to include your postpartum doula. Postpartum doulas are there to help...

Preschool is provided by many daycares but many private schools, especially Montessori, are able to provide preschool programs. Private schools in particular offer superior programs that can substitute for any daycare program. Instead of paying...

As I sit in my backyard at this very moment enjoying a warm, late spring breeze, listening to the wind chimes and birds chatting to and fro, I am struck by how few of us pay attention to the wee details of life. In 2010 I began a journey of quieting my mind, body and spirit and what began as an external awareness of paying attention to the wee details became an inward awareness of self. For the past seven years, I have worked with families...

Birth Photography is quickly becoming a sought-after service for moms-to-be and their partners. Parents that choose to hire a birth photographer do so because they want to have the birth of their child captured by someone who is not directly involved in the labour and delivery of the child. The sole purpose of the photographer is to capture the images. He or she doesn't have to act as a midwife, doula, doctor or nurse and is able to perform...

Montessori preschool programs are basically synonymous with the Montessori Casa program. Montessori Casa comes from Maria Montessori's own description of her early childhood program as "the children's house," or "the casa dei bambini."
