Moms-to-be swap birthing classes for the internet. Gone are the days when expecting women went to their Lamaze classes (often dragging reluctant daddy’s along). Studies show that these days women are looking to the internet and television shows to prepare themselves for childbirth. Only 56% of expecting women went to a class (9% for subsequent births), while 68% of pregnant women watched pregnancy related TV shows.

Reasons for the decline include the ease and availability of information online with today’s busy schedules, as well as women who opt for epidurals or C-sections feel it is not as necessary to attend classes and do not want to be pressured of made to feel guilty for their birth choices.

Disney bans kids… from its nicest restaurant.
The post Victoria & Albert’s restaurant at Disney’s Florida resort has decided to ban children under 10 years old so that adults can enjoy a sophisticated dining experience. This is not the first time they have done this - they also ban unaccompanied kids from places in their Pleasure Island resort and some nightclubs. Don’t worry, there are still 97 other restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat with the kiddos.

More celeb expecting news. Jack Black and his wife, Tanya, are expecting their third child. (and just to slightly tangent, does anyone else whose family member got a Guitar Heroes III game for Christmas think that Tenacious D’s song The Metal is kind of addictive?)
