While nine months of pregnancy may seem to last forever, in the grand scheme of things, the phase is the blink of an eye. So unless you’re Michelle Duggar, spending a fortune on designer maternity clothes is not a wise or economical choice.

It has been 7 weeks since Josie Duggar’s dramatic entrance into the world. Arriving at 25 weeks gestation, weighing just 1lb. 6 ozs, the tiniest Duggar remains in intensive care at Arkansas Children’s Hospital to grow and develop.

The week-old baby of Elizabeth Poblete, born prematurely when the Chilean Olympic weightlifter was training, has passed away in the intensive care unit of a Brazil hospital.

In a small study of 20 pre-term infants, researchers from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Centre found that listening to the composer for just 30 minutes a day helps premature babies use less energy, which may help them grow faster.

Congratulations to Josh and Anna Duggar on the safe arrival of their first baby – a girl!
