My friend's mother is the inventor of babybangs...and I am very upset at the way that you talked about her product. Your company demanded that she overnight her products which cost her $60 and your show never reimbursed her. You didn't put the product on the baby correctly and you completely snubbed her and her product. It was very rude. I have been waiting for you to apologize on air and you haven't. I think you should be ashamed of yourself. www.babybangshairband.com

Hey Tyra, I am 23 years old pregnant with my third child, This pregnancy is so horrible, When I was 3 months I developed a blood clot from my knee to my stomach. I really scared about delivering the baby, I am supposed to be getting a tubal done the day after I have the baby, My doctor scared me death about the warnings. I am on blood thinners and I bleed alot when I get cut or something, Have you heard of anybody developed a blood clot while pregnant? Thanks, Misty

Tyra I love your show I watch it almost everyday, but I happened to miss the episode that aired on 5/20. I saw a re-run of this episode on Oxygen and I was really interested in the new product Baby Bangs, and was wondering where I could get my little girl one. I was kind of suprised that you didn't have their website or contact information on how to purchase a baby bang. I had to google it and found that you did not even put on the baby bang correctly - on the website the hair looks so real, has the natural new born swirl in the back and everything! Their website is beautiful, and I definately get the concept of this invention. My mother has been doing hair extensions for years and also has put me in several beauty pageants and I know if this product would have been out when I was born, she would have definately bought me one. I think it is absolutely adorable, and in my opinion I think you (in a way) bad mouthed the product. This product is perfect for beauty pageants, special occassions, photos, and just as a conversation piece, I think people are taking it a bit too seriously. With you being such a fashion/beauty icon I thought you would have presented this product a lot better.

Tyra, I also had the line down the stomach and am white. This is very common with pregnant women, not just minorities. Btw, I think the obgyn's should have been the experts mainly speaking, not the sex expert. Not all of her advice was very partial to pregnant women. I also had little to no sex drive like one of your guests and it had nothing to do with my husband's efforts. It was all hormones. This is very common and shouldn't have been made to look like it was that poor woman's fault. The hormone changes affect every woman differently. Some get very horny, others have no drive at all.

The lady trying to make sure her baby is obviously a girl should try headbands, bows, or little hats. I keep one on my newborn almost all the time to avoid any confusion. They're cute & you can find them in so many colors and styles (just avoid the garter style headbands b/c they get too tight on a baby's head and leave little imprints). I suggest stretchy lace, fabric, or crochet headbands. Stock up on a few neutral colors at least, then you can just clip different hair bows on and complete any little outfit. :)

Lania, try to find a maternity pillow. These are a lifesaver if you're having problems getting comfortble while your body grows in pregnancy! I bought one in my last trimester and wish I would have found one sooner. Check walmart.com or other baby suppliers. They're like a body pillow, but curved and awesome for wrapping around you. Try sleeping on your side and that should help, also, with a pillow in between your knees.

Hi Tyra! As a new mom, I wish you would have done this show sooner! I agree with a previous poster, though. Many of the questions were repetitive and simple. Almost all the questions were things you could look up on a pregnancy website such as babycenter.com and know were totally normal (like enlarged nipples and extra hair...seriously? those are so duh!). I was hoping for some more difficult questions, but I'm glad that you did offer a few opinions. I was shocked that the couple who was very sexually active and the man was uninterested was not told that missionary is not a good pregnancy sex position that far along, however. You're not supposed to lie on your back after the 5th month or so because it puts too much pressure on the baby and can slow blood flow & oxygen to the baby.
