What’s up down there?
Today’s guest post is by the always well-read Shelly Lewis, a mother of nine-year old twins, and a smart she-geek. We asked her to review gynecologist Dr. Lissa Rankin’s book … What was I was getting into? That was my thought when asked to review “What’s Up Down There?” by Dr. Lissa Rankin. I’d read [...]
“Keeping abreast” – a breast cancer survival story
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to share my Aunt’s five-year story of surviving breast cancer, which is chronicled on my cousin’s fun and witty blog, The Patriotic Baker. I’ve broken the excerpts into several posts, which we will be posting over the next week or two to raise awareness of breast [...]

Talk breast cancer with Suze Orman
This event was canceled because Suze Orman had an emergency appendectomy. You can wish her a speedy recovery at http://twitter.com/suzeormanshow I had my own brush with breast cancer this week. The mildest brush. The brush of fear. A callback after a wonky mammogram. I got the all-clear but I felt paralyzed with fear for the [...]
Stand up and stretch to save a life
Bonnie Bernstein survived a blood clot. She had no idea that she was experiencing symptoms of DVT. “After all, I’ve worked out my entire life, eat well, rarely drink alcohol, and don’t smoke,” she wrote. But David Bloom, NBC news correspondent, wasn’t so lucky. He died in Iraq in the “sand-blown heat of war.” But [...]
#Fat Girl Friday on Twitter
This post is for anyone who’s ever said, “I’m fat,” who’d rather grab another bit of cheese and slurp down one extra glass of wine than embark on another low fat, low life, diet. Fat Girl Friday, or #FatGirlFriday on Twitter, is spreading faster than our collective behinds. We asked guest blogger Becca Bernstein why [...]
Bed rest blues…week four
I’m still pregnant, hooray! Amniotic fluid levels according to this week’s ultrasound is in the high-normal range. No signs of infection. I’m IV free, I have “outside privileges” (a.k.a. I can go into the “yard.”) Baby is approximately 2.2 lbs and I am 27 weeks. On Friday, I was told I could go home on [...]
Bed rest blues, week one
As many of you know, my husband and I are expecting a bouncing baby boy in early January. Or, at least that was the plan. On September 13th at 23 weeks pregnant, my water broke. Not a full break. It is more accurate to say that I’m leaking amniotic fluid. The diagnostic term is Preterm [...]
