How Soon After Delivery Were You Up and About?

Up and at 'em! Forget lounging around in some old sweatpants and being waited on hand and foot after delivering a baby. New mamas are wheeled out of the hospital faster than you can say "discharge papers" and are on their feet in no time.

While some mamas opt for help from family, friends, or professional nurses once they get home, 65 percent of LilSugar readers were on their own when it came to tending to their baby. Regardless of the amount of support they receive, new moms seem to be out and about faster than ever.

Just eight days after giving birth to Sparrow James Midnight Madden, Nicole Richie was seen chasing daughter Harlow around a Beverly Hills shopping mall, and over the weekend, she went for a walk and coffee run with her boyfriend Joel Madden. How quickly were you up and about in public after delivering your lil one?

There's no business like show business when it comes to nepotism. If mom is an actress or dad is a rock star, chances are the kiddos will want to test the spotlight out for themselves. Models, athletes, actors, and politicians who have left their legacies in films, trophies, and legislation have also passed on their genetics to these famous celebrity children.

Nicole Richie Tweets About Sleep - TMI?

babysugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 09:00:01 -0700

Allllright. You caught me. The picture above is evidence of my guilty pleasure - following Nicole Richie's Twitter alerts. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear her baby news and since she tweets about most everything else, I figure she'll alert her followers to her water breaking and may even post a picture of the newest Madden with her phone. Lately, the maternity-wear-designing mama has been keeping me and her other 581,769 followers abreast of her slumber issues. Like Nicole, many mums use Twitter and Facebook to document every move they make and allow some perfect strangers to know the nitty gritty details of their lives. Do you share frivolous details on your social networking forums or do you think it's too much information?

Whose Maternity Style Do You Prefer?

Nicole Richie may have her own maternity line, but it doesn't mean every expectant lady wants to model her bumpalicious style. Some might prefer Sarah Michelle Gellar's look that appears a tad more sophisticated. Meanwhile, Ellen Pompeo shows off her taut tummy in spandex workout gear and makes pregnancy look like a cakewalk, minus the cake. Whose style do you prefer?

Celebmama Style: Swinging Skirts

babysugar — Thu, 21 May 2009 12:00:24 -0700

Mamas wanting to steal Nicole Richie's maternity style were in for sticker shock as her skirt alone cost $803 - down from the original $1605 price tag! Have no fear, babysugar is here to lighten the shopping cart with more practical options for expectant mommies.

Ladies in waiting will love the ease and comfort of an ankle length garb. Celebmamas like Ashlee Simpson Wentz and Gwen Stefani are also fans of the flowy look. It allows flexibility and convenience, which is especially important for second or third time mums. Mothers can squat down, cross their legs, and run after their wee ones while maintaining their fashion plate appearances. Pair one of the bohemian style prints with a black or white tank, a jean jacket, and a pair of metallic sandals for the same hippie chic look.
