June 11, 2010: In Which We Are Filled With Shopping Advice
Yes, technically we are back, but we’re feeling a little rusty. We just wrote a whole book, for heaven’s sake, and now we’re supposed to write more for this web site? For free? You have no idea how much we love you, to keep writing and thoroughly researching new articles for your (and your baby’s) edification. This week, we will doubtless save lives and rescue bank accounts with our inarguable advice on what sorts of baby products you do and do not need to buy, depending on what type of person you are. You will quickly recognize yourself in our list of types, should you care to admit it!

November 13, 2009 Cut Your Partner Some Slack
Pregnancy can be a difficult time for partners. It’s only natural that their hopes, fears, and need for back scratches take second place to a pregnant woman’s swollen ankles and constant weeping. But here at Let’s Panic HQ, we want partners to experience the same sense of wonder and ache-filled nights as pregnant ladies do! So in order to help build a little empathy between you two, we’ve made a list of stuff you can do to help you relate to one another in this incredibly swollen, nauseating time of your lives.
Stay involved with each other using science!
October 26, 2009 Best Halloween Strategies
You’re still trying to decide between the sexy witch costume and the sexy vampire nurse costume, aren’t you? Or is it just that you’re hoping to make it through Halloween weekend without anyone noticing the fun-size candy bar wrappers overflowing from your purse?
What we’re really hoping is that this year you’ll make an effort. Pregnant women’s costume choices range from spooky (pregnant witch) to serious (pregnant vampire nurse), but it’s the women with viable, ambulatory children who we address in this week’s post with our intellectually superior Halloween costume guide.
But we haven’t forgotten our pregnant friends! We have a nice visualization for you up on the front page. Light a candle, take some deep breaths, and try to remember what it’s like not being a bloated, hormonal mess.
