If May Is “Pregnancy Awareness Month”, What Does That Make August?

Ed note: This post comes to us from our new west coast contributor, the fabulous Tracy Metro. Check out her awesome website here.

Green heiress and holistic expert, Anna Getty, has apparently deemed May Pregnancy Awareness Month (PAM) since it’s the month most often associated with mothers and fertility… I mean… Mother’s Day DOES fall in this month, after all! To kick it off on May 1st, Anna hosted a laid-back PAM shindig in honor of mothers and expecting mothers at the Skirball Center in Los Angeles. I was there and was happy to see quite a few eco-minded celebrity moms (and even a few dads) in attendance.

Fresh out of the stirrups toting along 7 week old son, Braden, Melissa Joan Hart told the Razz that her drug-free birth was made possible with the help of hypno-birthing classes. However, she said “natural childbirth isn’t right for everyone.” Hart may make no judgments on how you get the kid out… but I’d like to ask that to a few woman as they are actually pushing an 11 lb bowling ball through their vajayjays.

The very sexy Brooke Burke credits her trés hot post-pregnancy body to her very own line of belly wraps, called Baboosh Baby. Apparently, everyone around the world wraps their bellies after pregnancy except US mommies. Brook says “it’s an age old concept” that wasn’t being represented in the US, so she started the line in 2007.

Diane Farr, expectant mommy of twins and star of NUMB3RS, shared with the Razz that before she purchases her next car to tote around the impending brood, she and Dr Paul Song (Lisa Ling’s husband) are trying to figure out how much radiation is emitted from hybrid car batteries. Oy, as if I wasn’t paranoid enough! My husband and I each have a Prius, so she better find out soon!

Brooke Burke Goes Earth-Friendly With Baboosh Baby Store

Filed under: babies and bumps — michael @ 4:31 pm

As a woman expecting her fourth child and still maintaining the body of a supermodel, actress Brooke Burke knows a thing or two about getting back into shape after a pregnancy. The 36-year old recently launched a new online baby store called Baboosh Baby featuring eco-friendly post-partum belly wraps, organic stretch-mark oils and tees and recycled diaper bags. From the site,

“As a Hollywood mom, I’ve met tons of interesting people and had access to the best stylists and designers, as well as the trendiest products. But still, I was unable to find some of the key things I need before, during, and after my three pregnancies. I wanted to give my body its best shot at staying healthy and regaining its shape naturally and quickly. This inspired me to create baboosh.”

The sexy wraps come in at $62, while tees are an affordable $18. The diaper bag — made from recycled sails — will knock you back $68. For the rest of the goods, check out Brooke’s site!
