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.
 
Hey Tyra, I loved your show on pregnancy on May 19 (the day after I found out I'm having a boy and the day before my 21st B-Day!!). I'm about to be 5 mths pregnant and this is my 1st child so most of the questions asked on the show I could relate to. I really wished that someone would've discussed being overweight and pregnant. I was already plus size before I conceived and I want to know about the effects of this on pregnancy like taking longer to feel baby move among other things. Plus, what about the effects of stress while pregnant? Even though the show was great, but I felt like it was mostly on sex during pregnancy. If possible, could you do another show on pregnancy and highlight these and other key factors that I know other pregnant woman are concerned about. hanks. Love ya Tyra!!!
 
Hello Tyra! let me start off like everyone else saying that I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU and ur show! i just recently had my first baby a beautiful baby girl :D and its the most amazing thing to be a mother. Well as i was watching the episode where all these pregnant women have all these questions but there was one audience member that asked about what to do about her stretch marks and she was sooooo tiny! I myself am a tiny girl and to avoid stretch marks at all costs did not touch my belly at all!! Scratching your belly does not help yes it is so itchy since the skin is stretching and feels so tight but scratching is a BIG no no!! my mom told me that almond oil helps to keep the skin moisturized, since your skin dries up especially if you dont keep yourself hydrated. So everyday after my shower i would oil myself up my belly, my back, and my thighs. I would apply oil sometimes 3 times a day on my belly and i can tell you i do not have ONE SINGLE stretch mark on me. Also i used to have stretch marks on my thighs from before and with the almond oil they are gone or less noticeable i should say. Now another audience member was asking when her breast would stop growing since she was already pretty full in the breast area lol and i was an A cup before the baby during my pregnancy i went up a cup size by the time i had her i was a full B cup but like a month later my milk dried up and my breast just shrunk drastically now they are even smaller than before waaaaaaaaaaaay smaller than before
 
Dear tyra, I watched this show about conception & sexual intimacy between couples with great interest & also some alarm, because I have some significant background in the medical, psychological, anthropological, sociological & personal helping professions. My concern is simple, Tyra: your show made it seem like the woman's role is to please her husband's sexual impulses no matter what. And, that the husband's insecurities are laughable at best. No consideration was given to the vast variation in both women & men around what sexual experiences are expected, pleasant, necessary, or mutual. Both women and men were not listened to by you, but instead only considered weirdos in need of some quack guest's or audience member's hokey cure no matter how upset they are about their specific, unique problems, preferences or desires. Your show strongly emphasized a "one size fits all" recommendation about the "right" way to love, the correct sexual postures, procreation goals, etc. As a long time fan of you, ma'am, I was sorely disapponted. People are under so much pressure as they fret about how they should conform in all ways to sex norms, it is tragic to see your show shame people who are obviously worried that their lives are inadequate, no matter thier good intentions, inherent sweetness & sensuality, their trust in you as an advisor, and thie natural desire to have kids. I strongly suggest a follow up show with me or other sex experts who are not selling snake oil or demeaning people who do not fit preconceived stereotypes of the "correct" way to enjoy sex. Penetration is not god. Orgasm is optional.
 
OMG - i absolutely love love love the shirt you have on in this episode. It compliments your skin tone and brings out your face as well as hair!! If you don't mind me asking... Where did you get it from? I know it's probably not in my budget but would you know where to get one similar to it? *Your show is amazing as well!!*
 
Hi i was watching and had a question? i am going on four months pregnant and when i go to sleep now it seems that i can not get comfortable at all. Every way that i turn seems to hurt my tummy and when i lay on my back it seems like a lot of pressure.. Is there a way that i can lay or anything i can use that will help me sleep better?? i put a pillow under my lower back is that safe or okay??
 
No need for a baby wig, or tape. I use to cut off the bottom part of the velcro that com on baby bows and throw that bottom useless piece away. I'd put a tiny bit of tooth paste on the part of velcro that is left, and gently place it on my little girls head. It won't stay on forever, it will last for trip to the mall, or to the market, it will come right off, and wipe off any toothpaste that might be left with a wife. Minty Fresh Fashion is what I call it, LOL.
 
About this topic .. yes it was very informational even for girls that aren't pregnant... such as me. I have a question though.. when the audience was askig questions to the doctors all of the women were like "my boyfriend" and they are 6 to 8 months pregnant. Can someone tell me why people think its okay to be in a boyfriend girlfriend status and have children opposed to being married? I am 22 years old and have no children but then again i am not married ? Please someone tell me when all of this became okay .... and girls wonder why they have 2, 3, 4, different baby daddies...
 
Hey Tyra love love love all your shows =) I had a question, I've been married almost 4 years, never really used contraception during that time (except for one month on the pill at the very beginning.) We're both 23 and have been trying to get pregnant for the past year....i heard that that could mean there are some things really wrong with one or both of us?!?! Is that true should we be starting to get checked or anything?

Hi, to the two couples that were trying to conceive. The magic pill for me and a few of my friends was geritol vitamins. I know that may seem extreme but no lie when my husband and I were trying I could never get pregnant and some one told me about the vitamin(geritol vitamins). About a month later after taking them I was pregnant. I told a few friends and they told friends and now all of us have kids. So try it, it can't hurt....... D.
 
Hi Tyra, I am a big fan of you and your show. I watched this show as i just went through pregnany and now have a newborn baby. I thought the panel of experts were really great, but i don't think they got utilized to their fullest potential on the show. I am sorry, but some of the questions that the guests asked were repetitive and a bit too focused on having sex during pregnancy. Anyone that has even done a bit of research on their own would have been able to answer those questions...it should have been lumped in to one or two questions. If you knew what the questions were in advance you could have picked the best audience ones. I felt that the panel of experts had to keep repeating themselves. I agree that there were far more important issues that could have been discussed.
 
Hi Tyra! I posted previously about the baby bows. However, something came to mind earlier today that wasn't on your show. Most of the things that were talked about were very minor issues to be concerned with. (Besides infertility) After having a baby the issues are far worse. A lot of women struggle to breast feed there babies for various reasons and it can really be a saddening experience for those women. I felt so guilty after trying to bf my first baby for 5 months and it just wasn't working out so I gave up. Also, post partum depression is a big issue after child birth. Luckily I didn't have too many breakdowns after having my babies but some moms do.
 
I loved this show! I knew pretty much everything that was mentioned... but I always love watching the questions and reactions from the expecting moms. I am 23, and I have a 2 year old son, Marek, and I am also 8 1/2 months prego with a little girl, Paizley. I have experienced and are experiencing a lot of the same things the women on the show are going through. I have to say personally that my two pregnancies have been pretty different. Some things I have gone through this time, I had none of with my first pregnancy. So I think this show also helped me with new questions I had. It is relieving to know that I am not the only one that is experincing some crazy things. :o) Thanks again for having this show.
