Is It Ok For A Pregnant Bride To Wear White?


Some people go crazy when you challenge tradition - especially when a sacred event like a wedding is involved.

The journalgazette.com has a great article about pregnant brides ignoring the ‘white-out gown rule’ and walking down the aisle in white.

Maternitybride.com owner-designer Jessica Iverson said that “White has been the most popular color at the shop since the online boutique opened three years ago, accounting for about half of all maternity wedding dress sales.”

It takes a strong woman to show up at her nuptials pregnant and wearing white. She’s bound to face criticism.

Wearing white on your wedding day is believed to symbolize purity and virginity.

In the 50th-anniversary edition of “The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette,” first published in 1952, authors Nancy Tuckerman and Nancy Dunnan wrote that a pregnant bride “must not … walk up the aisle in a traditional wedding dress … if her pregnancy will be very apparent. To do so is quite poor taste, considering her condition, and would probably be interpreted as an act of defiance or rebellion on her part. If the wedding is planned for so far in the future, it’s certain she’ll be noticeably pregnant, she and her fiancé can cancel their original plans in favor of a smaller, less formal wedding at an earlier date. She may still wear a long dress if she wants to, although a pale color would be more appropriate than all white.”

With that being said, if you are only allowing pure women to wear white, it may be a while before we see one glide down the aisle.

According to bridal-industry surveys, more than half of brides live with the groom before marriage, and a similar percentage are pregnant when they tie the knot.

Would you care if the bride at a wedding you were attending was pregnant and wearing white?

A Couple in Poland Welcomes Quintuplets


The Polish news online is reporting that a set of Quintuplet girls has been born in Krakow, southern Poland.

The doctors of the University Hospital in Krakow announced that the children are in good condition and the delivery was a success. The girls, born prematurely in the 27th week of the pregnancy, weight just 600-800 grams each.

The happy family has been already offered help by the president of their home town of Kilece, central Poland.

According to obstetricians, quintuplets are born once in 52 million pregnancies. In Poland, however, since 2003, there were as many as four quintuplet births in the country – much higher than average.

Medela ‘Freestyle’ Hands-Free Breastpump


I like to consider myself a breast pump expert. I pumped exclusively for my son for 18 months and in that time I had the chance to use many different breastpumps.


Every time I see advances in the breastpump market, it makes me think of all the time I wasted using a single handpump praying for lots of milk to appear.

Medela, the breastpump giant, has introduced an exciting new hands-free double pump that includes almost every feature that a breastfeeding mom would want.

One of my favorite features this pump offers is that it is powered by a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. This will allow new moms the freedom to express their milk where it is comfortable for them, as opposed to finding a place that is close to a wall outlet.

Also included is a nicely designed carry bag with removable cooler. I know from experience how important it is to have a good sized bag to keep all of your gear in. Moms will appreciate this spacious bag because it will hold some of your baby gear and your pumping stuff as well.

Other accessories included with the Freestyle package are: pump, pumping kit with SoftFit™ breastshields, 4 collection containers with lids, rechargeable battery, cooling element, power cord, hands-free kit with two size straps and bra adapters, waist belt with extension piece, instructions and the Breastfeeding Information Guide.

Please visit the freestyle’s official site for more information.

I found it at Amazon for $379.99
