“Can I Have A Baby?” on May’s Diabetes Roundtable Podcast

Diabetes Roundtable podcast in May 2013

Today health care providers no longer discourage women with diabetes from becoming pregnant. Women who manage their diabetes well during pregnancy can have a relatively normal pregnancy and give birth to healthy babies.

The key to a healthy pregnancy for a woman with diabetes is keeping blood sugars in the target range—both before she is pregnant and during her pregnancy.

Since no one’s pregnancy is being more closely watched than mother-to-be, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, she’s inspiring us to talk pregnancy, motherhood and diabetes from a diva’s point of view on May’s upcoming Diabetes Roundtable podcast.

Kate Middleton has impressed the world with her modest fashions, charitable efforts and down to earth persona.  She was recently named one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World and Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed Pregnant Lady. Her fairy tale romance is a good, old-fashioned love story.  Prince finds a common girl.  Prince falls in love.  They get married and live happily ever after. But how would she fair if she was living with diabetes.

Mr. Divabetic adds a ‘divabetic’ twist to Kate Middleton’s palace life, pregnancy and interests to  infuse our Hot Topic discussion, Dining Out with A Dietitian, Sexy Little Numbers, Digital Diva Reviews and Diabetes Numerology Game segments.  Joining Mr. Divabetic for this one hour whirlwind of wellness are: Divabetic Image & Style Advisor,Catherine Schuller, Patricia Addie Gentle RN, CDE,  Kathy Gold RN, CDE, Mama Rose Marie, the Digital divas(Taryan from Boston and Jessica from Cincinnati), Molly Lepeska from 100Campaign and Liz Wolff, the owner of CURE Thrift Shop in New York, NY who is living with type 1 diabetes.

Plus, Divabetic’s GLAM MORE, FEAR LESS Squad dish celebrity moms-to-be style choices from Kim Kardashian toHalle Berry.

Most women living with diabetes are interested in knowing how their diagnosis can effect pregnancy. Today, health care providers no longer discourage women with diabetes from becoming pregnant. Women who manage their diabetes well during pregnancy can have a relatively normal pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby.

We now know that the key to a healthy pregnancy for a woman with diabetes is keeping blood sugars in the target range—both before she is pregnant and during her pregnancy.

Mother-to-be, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge,  is inspiring the conversation on pregnancy, motherhood and diabetes on May’s Diabetes Roundtable podcast.

Kim Kardashian’s Sexy Look at MTV Movie Awards

Kim Kardashian

Some of MTV’s freshest faces along some serious A-lister’s arrived at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards ready for a party. Host Rebel Wilson made sure to keep the crowd laughing with hilarious movie spoofs and a few shocking musical numbers.

Pregnant Kim Kardashian looked gorgeous in all black. The mother-to-be has received her fair share of criticism for her maternity wardrobe choices, but we think the reality star may have redeemed herself in the style department at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.

The 32-year-old stepped onto the red carpet in a black LBD, complete with voluminous sleeves and a gold tassel necklace. It was a classic post-Kanye Kim look: black, tight and just a little high fashion. But tonight’s ensemble is different. Kim looks confident, sexy and fresh!

Tune in to Divabetic’s Diabetes Roundtable’s Mother Day Special on Tuesday, May  14, 2013, 6 -7 PM, to hear Image & Style Advisor, Catherine Schuller’s opinions on Kim’s various maternity looks. Catherine will play the fashion game,  Lend, Buy or Burn! with the happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic.

Halle Berry: Pregnancy with Diabetes

Divabetic Halle Berry

Oscar-winner and fellow Divabetic, Halle Berry and her fiancé, Olivier Martinez, are expecting their first child together. E! News revealed last week that the actress is pregnant with a boy and is reportedly about 12 weeks along.

“Halle’s pregnancy is big news for  ‘Divabetics’ everywhere, women who are living with diabetes”, says Max ‘Mr. Divabetic’ Szadek. “So many women in our community want to know if they can get pregnant . Halle’s news definitely proves that they can (at any age)  and have healthy children.”

Just days after word spread that Berry will be giving her 5-year-old daughter, Nahla, a little sibling, the star is speaking out for the first time about being on the baby way once again—an experience, she says, that’s been both immensely joyous and tremendously shocking.

“I feel fantastic,” the 46-year-old tells CNN.

“This has been the biggest surprise of my life to tell you the truth,” she adds. “I thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it’s been a big surprise and the most wonderful.”

“We will be talking about Halle’s pregnancy and other mom-related issues for women living with diabetes on May’s upcoming free Diabetes Roundtable Mother’s Day podcast scheduled for Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 6 PM, EST,” says Szadek.

Kim Kardashian’s Baby Weight is Normal

Can we leave Kim Kardashian alone?!! She’s not fat, she’s pregnant, okay?

Kim Kardashian divulged to a reporter this week that all the fat jokes have been bothering her and that she’s only 140 lbs and she’s been eating a lot of vegetables lately, okay?? Also, there’s a baby inside of her!

The fat-shaming that has followed Kim Kardashian is in some ways more of the same — more of what we saw with Jessica Simpson — but it’s much, much more. Both the volume of stories about Kardashian’s body and what headlines say about it remind us how acceptable it has become to talk publicly about an individual woman’s appearance in terrible ways. Why does this happen?

These articles also demonstrate how having a female body that is anything other than thin — whether it be average, overweight or simply pregnant — is being cast as both a crime and a punishment.

Here’s what one tabloid had said about Kardashian over the last few weeks:

Star considers Kim’s supposed 65-pound weight gain to be a “nightmare.”

You can argue that Kim Kardashian of all people welcomes any press, good or bad -but this is about way more than her. Bloggers Emma Gray and Margaret Wheeler Johsnson say, ” It’s about portraying weight gain as a central tragedy in a woman’s life, the cause of meltdowns and the source of insults, that then must be fought with extreme diets — even “while she’s pregnant.” It doesn’t take much for the average female supermarket-goer to think to herself, “Do people think that about me?” And just like that, weight has become a central drama in her life too.”

“These headlines affect us all, even when we tell ourselves we aren’t paying attention, that we write them off as trash. They leak into the cultural ether and affect how women see themselves and other women and how much time and thought and energy women put into fixing bodies that aren’t broken. When will we acknowledge that all of us, even Kim Kardashian, deserve to spend our lives thinking less about how we look and more about what we can do — and that the former definitely gets in the way of the latter?”

Jessica Simpson Takes A Walk On The Wild Side

Jessica Simpson and her growing baby bump made an purr-fect appearance on the L.A. set of a commercial shoot dressed to impress in a skintight leopard-print dress, which is her own design on sale at Dillard’s.

Jessica Simpson’s maternity collection is now in over 800 maternity stores (Destination Maternity, Motherhood Maternity, and Macy’s) with a new flirty, flowy Spring style. She has dresses, pants, shirts — all perfect for mixing, matching, and layering (at all stages of your pregnancy).

The Fashion Star mentor, 32, looked fierce and fabulous in sky-high black pumps and a black cardigan barely covering her pregnancy curves.

On hand to offer Simpson some moral support was fiance Eric Johnson and their 10-month-old daughter Maxwell, who made a little fashion statement of her own with a tiny pink bow in her hair.

This isn’t the first time Simpson has taken a walk on the wild side, however. The second-time mom-to-be also donned a leopard-print dress when she was pregnant with little Maxwell back in December 2011.

Megan Fox Says ‘No Dairy’ Diet Helps Her Look AMAZING!

wow

Having bounced back into her stunning pre-pregnancy shape after only giving birth in September, Megan Fox is revealing her secret – say no to dairy.

The 26-year-old beauty says she has not been working out since having her son Noah but yet she has been able to get her body back.

Speaking at the premiere of her new film This Is 40, the actress seemed shocked herself that she had got back into shape so soon after giving birth.

‘I didn’t do that much [working out] because after you have a baby, it’s very difficult to work out and I wouldn’t recommend it,’ the actress told Hollyscoop.

‘I should have pre-endorsed some sort of workout something, so that I could be selling it now!’

Without working out, the actress did have to make sacrifices in her diet.

‘I’m not eating dairy, that’s my biggest secret,’ Megan said. ‘It’s really hard on your hormones and it’s not good.’

The transformers actress said it was simple, issuing a ultimatum to others trying to loose their baby weight.

‘If you want to gain weight, eat dairy. If you don’t, don’t eat it.’

Megan did not have a lot of weight to loose however.

The star only gained 23 pounds while expecting her first child to husband Brain Austin Green.

‘I only gained 23 pounds when I was pregnant and I’m still 10 pounds heavier, but I don’t want to kill myself trying to get back into shape because it’s not a priority right now,’ she told the Daily Mirror.

While she has not worked out much following the birth of Noah, Megan did put in the hard work while she was pregnant.

‘We worked out throughout her entire pregnancy,’ personal trainer Harley Pasternak said.

‘She was a model of health through the whole process.

‘She really educated herself big time and had a great relationship with her physician so she really understood the safe boundaries of how to exercise and eat well during pregnancy. As a result, she knew how active she could be and she was very consistent and didn’t overdo it.

‘As she progressed from trimester to trimester, we’d modify things.’

Kate Middleton’s Acute Morning Sickness – What Is It?

Britain’s Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is spending a second day in a central London hospital Tuesday after being admitted with acute morning sickness.

The news that he and Catherine are expecting their first child after 19 months of marriage was announced by the palace Monday as she was admitted for treatment, and followed months of tabloid speculation.

The duchess is likely to remain in hospital for several days, the palace said Monday.

The palace said her illness is hyperemesis gravidarum, which involves nausea and vomiting more severe than typical morning sickness.

Could Kate Middleton be pregnant with twins?

According to this backgrounder from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, one cause of hyperemesis gravidarum — the severe form of morning sickness that has landed the expecting Duchess of Cambridge in King Edward VII Hospital in Central London — is carrying multiples. That means twins, triplets or possibly more.

The duchess’ condition doesn’t necessarily signal that she and Prince William will be welcoming more than one prince or princess about nine months from now, of course. Hyperemesis gravidarum, or HG, arises in 0.3% to 2.0% of pregnancies, according to this 2008 report in Obstetrics and GynecologyClinics of North America.

As many as 80% of pregnant women experience some type of morning sickness, according to the American Pregnancy Assn.Among them, about 60,000 women are hospitalized for hyperemesis gravidarum each year, according to studies cited by the health organization. Symptoms include severe nausea and vomiting, which can cause weight loss, malnutrition and electrolyte disturbance. Hospitalization allows patients to receive fluids and nutrition through an IV.

“As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter,” the statement said.

The baby would be the first grandchild of the heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

Adele Welcomes Baby Boy!

Superstar Adele is officially rolling deep in the diapers!

The British singing sensation, 24, gave birth to a baby boy, a family source confirms to PEOPLE.

“We are all over the moon,” the source says.

In June, Adele posted a message on her web site announcing that she was expecting a baby with her boyfriend, Simon Konecki.

“Obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time,” she wrote.

Even as the Grammy winner thrilled fans with the recent release of new material, the James Bond theme song “Skyfall,” Adele was “totally laying low and nesting,” a source recently told PEOPLE. “She is just thrilled [about becoming a mom].”

Alessandra Ambrosio Models Victoria’ Secret $2.5 Million Bra

Supermodel Alessandra Ambrósio was sitting home breastfeeding her 3-week-old son Noah when the phone rang and she got the surprise of her life.

“I just wanted to scream,” admits the mother of two, recalling the moment she was asked to model the coveted ‘Fantasy Bra’ in the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. “But I won’t lie, I was really worried,” she admits.”I was in total mother mode.”

As soon as her doctor gave her the green light to work out, Ambrósio, 31, also mother to daughter Anja, 4, got to work shedding the baby weight. Starting with yoga and walking, the model turned up her routine after 60 days and added daily sessions of pilates and spin for cardio.

And while in L.A. for the summer, the brunette beauty also took advantage of the great outdoors. “I was playing a lot of volleyball on the beach, swimming and running after my kids. And breastfeeding always helps,” she says with a laugh.

But keeping healthy during her pregnancy was key; she stuck to fresh green juices, kale salads and fish, a diet she’s continued with the occasional splurge of pizza or ice cream. “My daughter loves cupcakes so we’ll share … but only sometimes!”

 

There’s less than one month to go until she hits the VS runway donning the $2.5 million Floral Fantasy gift set, which includes a Very Sexy push-up bra handset with amethysts, sapphires, rubies and diamonds (plus a removable 20-carat white diamond in the center), and the matching belt, adorned with more than 5,200 precious gems.

“It was perfect for me,” Ambrósio says of the set, designed by Long Island’s London Jewelers (who did last year’s bra, modeled by Miranda Kerr). “I felt they made it for me. It’s very romantic.”

And now that she feels so ready for the big day, nerves aren’t even an issue. “I’m pretty calm,” she says. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.” Don’t miss Ambrósio on the runway at the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing Dec. 4 on CBS. By Jennifer Garcia
