Hollywood star Angelina Jolie is pregnant again, sources in the US have claimed today. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are preparing for the arrival of their seventh child, sources have told Star magazine. According to insiders Jolie is two months pregnant and has just told partner Brad the good news. “She’s thrilled. She said she knew she was pregnant before the test confirmed it. But she kept the news from Brad, only telling him when he returned from a trip to New Orleans at the end of March,” the source claims before suggesting things have been strained between the couple recently. “They’d been trying for another baby for months, but it was still a total shock when she found out. Brad and Angie have been fighting so much lately, it just didn’t seem possible…

Well if Angeline wants to do some more breastfeeding we can arrange a lovley nursing tops for her

OK so alot of questions i get from people is what exactly is a breastfeeding top or nursing top ? What can it do for me?

Basically you have had a baby and you want to breastfeed your baby, and as you will know babies want to be fed alot, all times of the day and when they want a feed they WANT IT NOW!!!  Now combine this with your needs as a mother, you’re body has just gone through 1 of it’s biggest changes it probably ever will, and it’s still changing to meet the demands of your baby.

Getting use to the idea of getting your bangers out (apologies i watch far too much Gok ) all the time is a shocking idea, and pretty alien to us, add this to the fact you don’t really want to flash your new post baby muffin top to the world and the actual act of breastfeeding can be abit off putting for some ladies especially in public.

So our breastfeeding tops here at Mama Feelsgood are designed in a special way so to enable you to breastfeed whilst keeping your tummy covered and providing you with discretion whilst you feed your child. Each breastfeeding shirt is designed like 2 shirts in 1 , the under layer provides the cover for your tummy and has double side openings on each side which enable you to pull to 1 side and feed your baby. The top layer looks like a regular shirt, and when the top shirt is down you can’t see the nursing openings at all.

Here at Mama Feelsgood we are really trying to put the funk back into nursing wear, and whilst we appreicate you’ve had a baby you really don’t have to change the way you dress just because you have chosen to breastfeed your baby.

We will be expanding our range of breastfeeding clothing soon, so we can provide mothers with a more trendy, up to date maternity & breastfeeding wardobe.

This is episode 2 of series 1 and explores teenage pregnancies and the effects it has on the NHS and the teenagers themselves.

It’s on at 9pm tonight so am going to watch it, being a mother myself (at the age of 30) i can’t imagine what it must be like to be a teenager and having a baby. Alot of responsibility at a young age, some might shine whilst others i can imagine must find it very tough.

Here’s the blur from Channle 4 website about tonight show:

This episode explores the cost of teenage mothers to an already stretched health service. With 46,000 pregnant teens registered in the UK last year – the highest number in Europe – and many young people failing to take responsibility for their own health, can the NHS afford to maintain its founding principle of free healthcare at the point of delivery?

Part of a three-part series examining the relationship between teenagers and the NHS, this programme visits City Hospital in Birmingham where 10 new pregnant teenage girls register at the maternity unit each week. Is the NHS being asked to pick up the pieces of an increasingly self-destructive society?

This seems to be one pregnancy rumour that won’t go away. In the past 2 months or so there have been various photographs of Kate with apparetnly “a baby bump”, to be honest i can’t say i saw much of a baby bump; maybe she just had a large meal or something.

But this recent picture click here to see of when Kate opened the New York TopShop store on Thursday had people chatting again. Some people have said it is a defined bump but i’m not sure. I know Kate Moss have every right to keep her personal life just that but it can’t be nice to under sucj speculation all the time. I mean maybe she just has gas or somthing!

When asked about the pregnancy rumours Kate moss was quoted as saying”I’ve just started wearing bras. It’s a miracle. Great timing for my lingerie collection. I am a woman now. It’s true. Honestly, I’ve never worn a bra in my life. Ever! It’s so awful, even my friends are phoning me up and saying, ‘Are you pregnant? And I’m like ‘No! I just put on a couple of pounds and they went in the right place.”

Well only time will tell, thats if anyone is interested anyway???

This is an old quote from when she had her twins Phinneaus and Hazel (think they are 5 years old now) but i just thought it was brilliant.

About pregnancy Julia said”‘My stomach was enormous and the bigger it got the smaller my ass looked so I kind of enjoyed it. I felt great.’

I think thats a pretty cool attitude to have towards pregnancy, there’s not alot your can do to control your body whilst pregnant, it’s just gotta do what it’s gotta do might as well try and enjoy it (ok ok i know swollen ankles, bad back and varicose veins are hard to enjoy but maybe feeling the baby move is a more enjoyable feeling?).

It is amazing the amount of pressure “normal” ladies are coming under whilst pregnant alot of it due to celebreties and the un natural return to pre pregnancy figure they are setting. Alot of women will never get their pre pregnancy shape back and even if you do your tummy won’t be the same again.

So you’ve got a name in mind for your little baby but want to know how popular it is? The UK national statistics website gradually roll out which were the tops names in the UK for boys & girls, they are currently up to 2007.

Check their website out here for girls names

Here for Boys names

Seems in 2007 the top 3 names for girls were: Grace, Ruby , Olivia

And for boys: Jack , Thomas, Oliver

Jack has been top slot for over 3 years. 

Sometimes it’s really hard to know what your baby will be called until you see it. My husband and i were changing our mind about the middle name if it was going to be a boy when i was in labour, some might say it was good i had a girl!

Ok ok so you’ll probably thinking what the hell this , maternity wear in Bristol ??  but for us it’s mega exciting, this is our debut in the loval paper here in Bristol and it’s showcasing which companies were attending the Little Monster Show (show for baby and toddlers) last week, and we are listed under maternity wear. Whoop whoop.

We had a great time at the show, met alot of lovely pregnant mums who loved our maternity wear, and met alot of lovely ladies who purchased our breastfeeding tops, it was funny because obviously maternity wear was not really relevant for them and they were gutted they had found us too late !!ha ah, never mind they bought our breastfeeding tops and looked cool!!

Also at the show was cuddle dry and trunki   which was cool because they were both featured on Dragon Den the TV show. They are both really cool companies, there were alot of happy children going for rides on suitcases that day at the show!!
