Conquering Breast and Nipple Soreness Related to Breastfeeding
For many pregnant women who plan to breastfeed, one of the biggest concerns is, will it hurt? The answer is that the early weeks of breastfeeding are different for everyone. Some women might have just a little soreness, and still others will be lucky enough to not experience any discomfort! You cant predict how your body will adjust to breastfeeding.

How to Do Abdominal Workouts After Pregnancy
Diastasis is a common effect of pregnancy, but one that many women don’t know about. As the uterus expands during pregnancy, it puts increasing pressure on the belly button area, which is a weak muscular point in the body. The continual pressure can cause the outermost abdominal muscle to separate, creating a bulge down the middle of the belly. This condition, known as diastasis, can be aggravated further by doing abdominal exercises incorrectly or using the wrong kind. Julie Tupler, RN, developed a set of exercises to help repair the muscles and get rid of the mommy tummy bulge.
