Peaches Geldof Has a New Baby Son

Peaches+Geldof-150x150It’s hard pushed to time exactly when your baby is going to be born.

But Peaches Geldof who is 24, recently had a HUGE stroke of luck when she gave birth to her second  child, wait for it,  Phaedra Bloom Forever on 24 April which is the birthday of her late mother Paula Yates.

On the coincidence, she told Hello! magazine: “It wasn’t an option. Maybe it is if you go private, but we didn’t and were given the date randomly by a consultant.

“I was pretty amazed when I read it though, and had to smile. I couldn’t help feeling mum must have had a hand in it.”

Peaches, who married musician Tom Cohen, 22, last year, is also mother to son Astala who was originally due to be born on 24 April too.

However, the date was brought forward when it was decided Peaches should have a Caesarean Section.

She said: “It’s like mum was very determined that one of her grandsons would be born on her birthday.

“There’s this kind of crazy synchronicity to it.”

The birthday of her son is a fitting tribute to Peaches’ mother who was found dead at her home in London on 17 September 2000, the birthday of Peaches’ sister Pixie.

Stacey thanks Spinach for her Baby Weight Loss

Stacey Solomon bounced back to her slim figure within weeks of giving birth to her second child, Leighton.  And now she has revealed it was down to spinach that she lost weight so quickly.  The former X Factor star, 22, said she eats the iron-rich vegetable daily and she believes it holds the secret to regaining her size 8-10 figure after having a new baby.

Stacey claims ‘I love spinach. I really crave it and eat it nearly every day, so that’s really helped with losing my baby weight. Anything green and I’ll wolf it down.’  She admitted she was stunned by how quickly she had shifted the pounds because she had struggled to lose weight after the birth of her first son Zachary.

So can spinach really help with shifting those extra pounds after having a baby?  Well we are not saying that eating spinach does lead to weight loss, but it is certainly rich in iron, which is a very important mineral for our bodies.

Iron is an essential mineral many people know little about. It is a part of the blood cells in the body. The main function of iron is to help carry oxygen from the lungs to the muscles and other organs. About 30% of the body’s supply of iron is in storage, ready to be replaced if any is lost. When iron is low, this oxygen consumption slows down.

There are several select groups of people that are more at risk for developing iron deficiencies. First, women are more likely to develop this problem, partly because of the loss of red blood cells during menstruation. Also, pregnant women need to be sure to consume enough iron.

Other foods that are rich in iron include sardines, tuna, liver, broccoli, asparagus, pumpkin, lamb and egg yolks.  So as you can see it’s not just your greens!!
