Pregnancy & Parenting CL ScooPP!

Check out what's new, things to know,

milestones, and grab some promos for your boards!
 

 


June 19, 2006

Ch-ch-changes! We've seen a few changes around Pregnancy & Parenting the past few weeks and they've been exciting.

Now all the Debate boards are listed on the first page of Message Board Central in the Debates & Hot Topics section.  One of my favorite debate boards is the Childbirth Choices board.  If you're interested in intelligent debate on various birthing choices, it's a wonderful board to visit.

 

We've also recently added a few new boards.  A couple of my favorites are the Diva Moms board - because I'm high maintenance and proud of it - and the Older Moms of Young Kids board - because I'm an "Old Pregnant Chicks" Grad.  If you have any ideas for new boards for our channel, please drop us a note at pboards@mail.ivillage.com or include them in your board/chat reports.

 

Also, just a reminder that summer is here in the Northern Hemisphere and that often means family vacations.  If you are going to be away from your board for more than five days, please be sure to notify us at pclmail@mail.ivillage.com so we won't worry that you've been abducted by aliens.

ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Picture a Healthy World

At iVillage, we’re happy to be working with GE to promote their Picture a Healthy World campaign, and we’d like to ask YOU to get involved. It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s rewarding. Just upload a photo of yourself or your family doing something healthy – taking a walk, eating a salad, climbing a mountain or dancing in the street – whatever you do to stay healthy and happy. To learn more about the campaign and upload your photos, visit GE's Picture a Healthy World website:

http://cwcdn.geimaginationatwork.com/@v=02232006_2310@/phw/flash/index.html?c_id=S6C1

Once your photo is uploaded to the Picture a Healthy World website, you can email the link to friends or better yet, post it to your board and ask other members of your community to post theirs. Share your photos and your ideas about how to live a healthier life. Please start the ball rolling in your community - post the link to your pix and encourage everyone else to do the same.

Thank you for getting involved!

When Will You Get the New Cervical Cancer Vaccine?

The FDA approved a new vaccine to protect against cervical cancer, the second most common malignant disease in women worldwide. The vaccines provide protection against certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is behind 70 percent of all cervical cancers. Though it will be initially targeted for teens and young women, the vaccine can protect women of all ages.

***Jump Rope Your Way to Total Body Fitness

Jumping rope can be one of the fiercest fitness experiences you'll ever have. It's a supereffective way to burn fat, increase stamina, improve coordination and firm muscles. It's a speedy calorie burner too — you can burn more than 200 calories in just 20 minutes, as much as running a 10-minute mile but with half the impact on your knees and ankles!
