To the ladies who've had children

I have a big sweet tooth too. My dad brings me little debbies to my house, which is sweet of him. However, then I have to try to resist them...lol.

I eat lots of sugar free popsicles when I have a sweet tooth. Depending on the brand, they are only 10 - 40 calories each! You cant do too much damage to your diet if you tried with those.

My dad would bring boxes of Dunkin Donuts *for the kids* LOL Hello! I am NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT THEM?!?!!?

I did the same thing to my baby sister... we loving family are the devil

You and MM are spot on - just try to keep with better food alternatives. And Ms PregoRae - I know this will sound bad. Your dad will keep bringing the sweets... when he is gone, just throw it away or gift it to a neighbor. I can't tell you HOW MANY TIMES I did just that. My dad's feelings didn't get hurt and somebody else got a yuumy treat.... and my butt didnt get HYUGE... only sorta big.

My girlfriend just asked me if there was any type of appetite suppression supplements that she could take while breast feeding. I don't know and I was hoping to speed things up, so if some of the mothers here can help me, I'd truly appreciate it.

Tom Cruise has revealed his latest bizarre plan - to eat Katie Holmes' placenta.

In an admission which seems to prove Cruise desperate to stay in the headlines, the Mission Impossible star has apparently vowed to eat Katie's placenta straight after she has given birth as he believes it will be very nutritious.

The admission is just the latest in a long line of crazy outbursts which Tom has appeared adamant to shock the world with.

Just days ago the star completely backtracked on comments he had made, saying that Katie would have to give birth in complete silence and that she should not scream.

Surprising as it may seem, Tom is not the only person to have odd placenta wishes- after the birth, some women take a piece of paper and lay the placenta on it and later frame it and hang it on the wall!

Eating the placenta, placentophagia, is practised in many parts of the world- famously back in 1998, a British television chef fried it and served it to all of his guests!

Showbiz couple Rod Stewart and wife Penny Lancaster took home their baby's placenta and buried it in the garden.

The act may appear odd to many, but it is believed eating the placenta helps avoid postnatal depression and is deemed as normal in many cultures.
