Trista Talks About Losing The Baby Weight in US Magazine

---

For the last few months Trista has spoken out about her desire to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.

Both she and son, Maxwell, grace the cover of this weeks edition of US Magazine and it looks like she got her wish.

The first time mom looks great in a bikini with baby in arms!

How did she do it?

“Every night before I go to bed, I do abs, pushups, and tricep presses. I feel better when I wake up if I’ve done something to set my muscles and make them feel active,” she tells Us.

Her 2,000-calorie-a-day diet and four-times-a-week workouts with trainer Brock Fetch have also helped her marriage to Ryan.

“I feel a lot more fit and healthy,” she says. “And I think that’s playing a part in our relationship.” (Adds Ryan, “I’m just happy to see her happy with herself… and her butt looks great!”)

Will there be another baby in the future?

“We’ve started trying!” Sutter tells Us. “I’d love to have babies close in age. And it took us so long the first time that if it takes us two years, then that will be fine.”

I think that Trista looks great post pregnancy, I just wish that the media would stop putting so much emphasis on losing the weight so quickly after delivering.

Oh, and will someone please put a sun protection shirt and a hat on the baby!

Brooke Burke Talks Childbirth

---

The other night Brooke Burke and boyfriend David Charvet attended the LA premiere of Ricki Lake’s movie The Business of Being Born.

A few nights later while she was up with her sick daughter, Brooke couldn’t sleep so she decided to write. She is dreaming of labor and can’t not wait to meet her new baby.

Here are her thoughts:

I went to an amazing premiere a few nights ago called “The Business Of Being Born”. It’s a documentary by Ricky Lake about the birthing process and the many choices we have. It was very emotional, informative and shocking in many ways. The information it provided for expectant mothers was eye opening and a bit disturbing. It was pro home birth. I used to think I wanted to experience that, but I was quickly talked out of it by my ex who is a Doctor, and very conservative. It turns out that I delivered Neriah 5 weeks premature, and it would have been a very dangerous situation. I went into labor with Sierra 3 wks early, and I was induced with Rain for several reasons 2 wks early.

As much as the thought of a candle lit, warm bath delivery at home sounds kind of cool; I think I feel safer in the hospital. I have to admit though, after watching the film I really hope that all things happen naturally in my body and I can deliver with out being educed.I think it is so important to have a birthing plan and go over it with your Doctor.

I know many women who have had a traumatic experience because of a lack of information, intimacy, and fear. Try to be as informed as possible before you get close to your due date about the process, get all your questions answered. If a natural delivery is important to you, find out what your Dr.’s percentage of c-sections is, and how often he educes and why. You can also have a Dula present at your birth, in or out of the hospital.

Sometimes what we imagine and wish for is out of our control because of unexpected circumstances or complications. I don’t want to scare anyone, because labor is scary enough, but get informed, so you can have a beautiful experience.

Fingers crossed that the 4th time will be her best experience. She is very lucky to have 3 healthy girls. Someone once told me that the pain of labor is forgettable – until you get pregnant again!

Vietnamese Orphan Recovers After Life Changing Surgery

---

Ten-year-old Hoang Son Pham suffers from a vascular anomaly in which tightly packed clusters of blood vessels multiply at an unusually high rate producing a growth called a hemangioma.

Yesterday, he underwent two hour surgery in Boston to begin to remove the massive growth from his face.

Doctors say that he is recovering well from the procedure, even though they had to perform a tracheostomy to insert a semi-permanent tube that will keep air flowing to his lungs should subsequent treatments cause excessive swelling in his throat.

The little fighter will have to stay in hospital for the next six or seven days so he can heal from the operation.

The next phase of treatment, to be performed by a team of specialists, is designed to reduce that blood mass, the sheer volume of which adds to the risk of complications. An agent will be injected directly into the veins of the growth that will cause the blood to clot and harden which should ultimately lead to the collapse of the blood vessels.

Doctors say he’ll have to return to Boston periodically for the next year for treatments aimed at shrinking the football-sized mass that continues to grow over the left side of his face. Between rounds of injections, Son will stay in Halifax with Olwyn Walter, the president of the foundation that is arranging for his surgery.

The foundations site says that

the initial estimate for Son’s treatment was $700,000 but thanks to the Boston doctors who generously donated their services and to Ray Tye Medical Aid Foundation who contributed $150,000 to hospital costs, that estimate is now down to $200,000. The Children’s Bridge Foundation wants to pay this cost and the estimated $75,000 more for his on-going care, travel and living expenses during treatment.
