I did a mini-presentation in the English class last week. The topic was about women and babies. Liza, the president and founder of Expecting Models Inc., produced a reality show called "Runway Mom." I watched a couple of times on Travel and Living channel in Taiwan. Aactually, I was totally in shock when I watched it for the first time because there was a real birth process in the show. Basically, I stongly recommend that everyone should watch it once in a while if you have free time. There are many tips for prenancy you can learn, no matter you're women or men. You know, in preparation for the future, just in case, if you want a baby. You will also find that expecting moms can also be very energetic, sexy and beautiful as usual. And I'm sure you will be very grateful for your mother after you watch the show. By the way, Mother's Day is right coming up. Why not try to watch it with your mom at home?

The second thing is about the issue of breastfeeding in the U.S..  There was a news video on the Internet. A woman posted her breastfeeding images on Facebook. However, the images were taken down by Facebook due to the violation of terms of use they claimed. Then it became a hot debate on Facebook. Many other women standed on her side and uploded many breastfeeding photos on their profile on Facebook to protest against the rules. A woman even started a group called "Hey! Facebook! Breastfeeding is not obscene!" on Facebook. In the video, this woman thought this was uniquely American phnomena since she got the most hateful messages from the United States while got encouraging messages from south America and central Europe. Well, I don't know whether it is uniquely American phenomenon or not, but I do think it is very natural and normal things for women and babies to do. It's a baby's instinct to eat milk from a breast. In Taiwan, I seldom see people breastfeeding babies in public, but I did see once on a train a  woman breastfeeding her baby with a cover of clothes or towels. I thought it was ok. It was fine with me, though I just couldn't help but notice the baby's reaction while it was eating. It was really cute.
