An old Epidemic in our Suburban Neighborhoods… This is meant to be a thought provoking discussion.
Educated people, great careers, working so hard to make the American Dream. They work, and have children… they seem to have it all. It is about being happy and many want to look good. In our more wealthy areas, folks are more concerned about “keepin’ up with the Jones’.” But alas, nothing is ever as it seems these days, and an epidemic has taken over our neighborhoods… over scheduling, and partying with our children to relax. Is this self-absorption the cost to looking good and having it all? Our neighborhood friends can’t even manage life sober when they are home. And they can’t think straight to get a sitter when they are not.

Thoughts On Conception Through Art
“Before I fell pregnant I started to think about all of the women that I know who have struggled with conception. I am interested in superstition and how to instill my seemingly innate luckiness into an object that I could distribute to others. I wanted to create a symbol that embodied the essence of fertility. I began to paint this symbol with Japanese ink on Sumi paper. Then I fell pregnant…”
Conception is a 60 ft scroll of japanese rice paper that has been painted in a meditative state with a recurring symbol of fertility. This symbol has been distilled from various cultural/historical symbols of fertility such as the Venus of Willendorf, the circle (of life) and the celtic spiral. The sculptural form is itself a spiral and will be sectioned and distributed as lucky talismans to people who wish to conceive at the conclusion of the show.

Staying Healthy During the Pregnancy Yields Benefits
Staying Healthy during Pregnancy yields Benefits afterwards: written by Niva Herzig, PT
Staying healthy while you are pregnant is not only beneficial to your baby, but to you too. This holds true whether it’s your first child or your tenth. What does staying healthy mean? A combination of proper diet, exercise and sleep.
Just because you are pregnant, doesn’t mean you need to double your caloric intake. In fact, caloric increase only needs to occur during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters and by 300 calories. Take in fluids regularly in order to maintain hydration, especially when pregnant during warmer months and during exercise. Continue eating meals consisting of all food groups and keep sugars at a minimum. Include in your diet fruits and vegetables, whole grains and protein. Remember to eat foods rich in Calcium, Iron, Folic Acid and Vitamin C. Be aware of foods that may harm your baby such as unpasteurized cheeses or raw fish and meats. Make sure all meats are cooked and are not eaten raw to avoid exposure to harmful bacteria. Additionally, minimize the intake of caffeine. Once your baby is born, remember to continue eating a well balanced diet and increase fluids especially if breast feeding. For more specific issues and concerns speak with your physician or consult with a nutritionist.
Staying active is very beneficial to you and your baby.

Abdominal Muscle Separation; What you need to know
Pregnancy brings on many changes to your body. When I treat women during or after pregnancy, many ask me about their abdominal muscles. When assessing the abdomen postpartum, I always check for the possibility of a separation between the right and left most prominent abdominal muscles, the Rectus Abdominus muscles which run vertically along the abdomen. Most of you know these muscles as the “six pack” muscles.
