Brooke Burke gives birth
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Celeb Kids, Life & Style, Celeb Parents
Brooke Burke became proud mama to baby number four Wednesday and this time, it's a boy. Burke and her fiance David Charvet have not announced a name yet, but we do know that the baby weighed six pounds, eight ounces and measured 20¼ inches long. Brooke's rep, Nancy Iannios, says mom and baby are "doing well."
Burke has two daughters from her first marriage to plastic surgeon Garth Fisher and one with Charvet. In fact, Heaven Rain Charvet was born just over a year ago and Burke says the really didn't intend to get pregnant again so soon. She blames the can't-get-pregnant-while-breastfeeding myth on the unplanned pregnancy, but says she happy to have her family complete at the age of 36.
"Looking at it now, although the thought of four children is a little overwhelming at times, I'm actually really happy that I'm going to be done at 36," she added. "I'll get the challenging part over, and I'll be able to really start enjoying my family," she says.
Burke may be an actress, but she's gained some fame for her amazing ability to regain her pre-pregnancy figure in record time. For this, she credits belly wrapping and has launched an online store selling Tauts belly wraps as well as B-Buckles, which are adjustable belt buckles that accommodate your (hopefully) shrinking waist line. I am sure we will be seeing her in a bikini soon.
Congratulations Brooke and David!

Tami said...The Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) is a method of avoiding pregnancies which is based on the natural postpartum infertility that occurs when a woman is amenorrheic and fully breastfeeding,
For women who meet the criteria listed below, LAM is 98% effective during the first six months postpartum.
• Breastfeeding must be the infant’s only (or almost only) source of nutrition. Feeding formula, pumping instead of nursing, and feeding solids all reduce the effectiveness of LAM.
•The infant must breastfeed at least every four hours during the day and at least every six hours at night.
•The infant must be less than six months old.
•The woman must not have had a period after 56 days post-partum (when determining fertility, bleeding prior to 56 days post-partum can be ignored).
Being able to avoid pregnancy while breastfeeding is not a myth, but, like most other natural family planning options, is often misunderstood.
