Angelina Jolie has Gestational Diabetes

Angelina Jolie as developed a form of diabetes which affects mums-to-be, according to U.S. reports. The Tomb Raider star is reportedly suffering from such painful swelling in her legs and feet that she has to wear shoes half a size bigger than usual. U.S. magazine Star claims the 32-year-old is finding her second pregnancy "difficult". A source tells the publication, "Angie has gestational diabetes. She found out about a month ago and has been trying to keep it under wraps. "She's sick and irritable and feels heavy and weak. She's been seeing a nutritionist about it." Gestational diabetes develops in a small proportion of pregnant women and results in high blood-sugar levels. It is usually treated with diet and exercise and is reversible but sufferers run the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes as a consequence.

Latest on Sheryl Crow and Adopted Son, Wyatt

Sheryl Crow says becoming a mother allowed her to "love freely".
The 'If It Makes You Happy' singer, who adopted 10-month-old son Wyatt in May last year, also revealed motherhood inspired her to write songs for her new album 'Detours'.
She said: "I was working on my new record when Wyatt was just three weeks old. He had such an influence on me - I could love something freely for the first time. I felt an urgency.
"I wanted to write about the war, climate change, what I thought about love. I wasn't worried what people would think of me."
The 46-year-old singer added: "I began the adoption process right after I finished my radiation treatment. I have always felt like I was meant to be a mom. I used to think you need a mom and dad to start a family.
"I don't think the idea of adopting or using a sperm donor should ever feel like a consolation prize. I am so glad I have this little guy. I have a strong family unit now, and he's going to grow up with love."

Halle Berry Baby - World's Most Beautiful Baby?



Halle Berry and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry had a baby girl on Sunday March 16. No name has been released, although the baby will take her father's last name. The baby weighed 7lbs 4oz and Halle is resting comfortable.According to an insider for Star, “Halle had come to the hospital at 4am in the morning because the felt like she was going into labor. It was a bit scary because her blood pressure was skyrocketing and everyone was a little tense. She’s a diabetic so that was complicating matters as well. The doctors checked the fetal heart rate and everything seemed okay. After a while Halle’s blood pressure came down. She wasn’t dilating anymore so at around 2:45pm they let her go home. Halle felt her contractions come on a lot more intensely later that night so she came back to the hospital at 11:00pm Saturday night.The insider continued, “Halle was overcome with emotion when she finally held her little girl. She said everything she had gone through was worth that moment. The tears kept coming as Halle didn’t even want the nurses to take her baby to clean her up and measure. It was a truly beautiful scene.”

Heather Mill and Paul McCartney Divorce Settlement


Heather Mills has been awarded 50M in divorce settlement with Beatle, Sir Paul. I don'tcare what anyone says - she's a crazy gold digger! The Daily Mail reports:

Ms Mills also launched an angry outburst against her husband's victory on where their daughter would live and how much she would get each year.

“Beatrice gets £35,000 a year. She is meant to travel B-class when her father travels A-class.

“Paul has always wanted Beatrice to go to a state school. He insisted that he wanted us to move to that area [East Sussex] - £35,000 includes. £17,000 for school fees.”

“He tried to get our daughter with joint residency, even though we had gone 50-50. In that way he has got everything he wanted, but that's what powerful people get.”

Ms Mills complained about the judge's assessment of her husband's wealth.

“He also said that Paul is only worth £400 million. Everyone knows that he has been worth £800 million for the last 15 years.

"Paul has always wanted it public because he wants to look like generous Sir Paul."

“I was locked out of every home. I really hope now that me and my daughter can have a life and not be followed every day. Apart from one television thing I have stayed quiet for 21 months. If the judgment had been kept private I would not be out here speaking.”

She added: “I can't leave England. Believe me if I tried to go he'd have an injunction on me in a second.”

Katie Holmes on Cover of UK InStyle Magazine



Katie Holmes graces the cover of the UK InStyle Magazine. It is the same photo that InStyle carried on their US edition. The bottom picture is of Katie Holmes at an In Style girls only party. Can she find her way without Tom Cruise leading her by the hand? tomcatcrazy.com wrote about the party:
New mom Katie Holmes made a rare appearance this weekend at InStyle magazine girls-only party. The party was held on Sunday at the home of a Hollywood producer, and guests were reportedly strictly forbidden from inviting anyone to attend with them. Holmes broke the rule, which was specified when invitations were sent out, by towing along one of her Scientology "friends." "You weren’t allowed to bring a guest with you," a partygoer told PerezHilton.com. "However, Katie brought a guest. One of her Scientology ‘handlers.’ She was the only one that didn’t come alone. Katie’s minder kept a watchful eye and a close distance at all times. It was so creepy! You couldn’t really talk to her honestly and openly. Whenever Katie would leave the room, all the girls would talk amongst themselves about how strange she seemed and how bizarre the whole situation was." Another party guest said, "Katie looked dead in the eyes. She was not the same person she was before she met Tom."

Types of Twins

Fraternal twins

Fraternal twins Emma (left) and Max (right)Fraternal twins (commonly known as "non-identical twins") usually occur when two fertilized eggs are implanted in the uterine wall at the same time. The two eggs form two zygotes, and these twins are therefore also known as dizygotic as well as "biovular" twins. When two eggs are independently fertilized by two different sperm cells, fraternal twins result.

Dizygotic twins, like any other siblings, have an extremely small chance of having the exact same chromosome profile. Like any other siblings, fraternal twins may look very similar, particularly given that they are the same age. However, fraternal twins may also look very different from each other. They may be different sexes or the same sex. The same holds true for brothers and sisters from the same parents, meaning that fraternal twins are simply brothers and/or sisters who happen to have the same age.

Studies show that there is a genetic basis for fraternal twinning. However, it is only the female partner that has any influence on the chances of having fraternal twins as the male cannot make her release more than one ovum. Fraternals are also more common for older mothers, with twinning rates doubling in mothers over the age of 35.

Identical twins

Identical twins Cordy and AddieIdentical twins occur when a single egg is fertilized to form one zygote (monozygotic) which then divides into two separate embryos. Their traits and physical appearances are not exactly the same; although they have identical DNA, environmental conditions both inside the womb and throughout their lives influence the switching on and off of various genes. Division of the zygote into two embryos is not considered to be a hereditary trait, but rather an anomaly that occurs in birthing at a rate of about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide,[8] regardless of ethnic background. The two embryos develop into fetuses sharing the same womb. When one egg is fertilized by one sperm cell, and then divides and separates, two identical cells will result. If the zygote splits very early (in the first two days after fertilization) they may develop separate placentas (chorion) and separate sacs (amnion). These are called dichorionic, diamniotic (or "di/di") twins, which occurs 20-30 percent of the time. Most of the time in identical twins the zygote will split after two days, resulting in a shared placenta, but two separate sacs. These are called monochorionic, diamniotic ("mono/di").

In about one percent of identical twins the splitting occurs late enough to result in both a shared placenta and a shared sac called; monochorionic, monoamniotic ("mono/mono") twins. Finally, the zygote may split extremely late, resulting in conjoined twins. Mortality is highest for conjoined twins due to the many complications resulting from shared organs. Mono/mono twins have an overall in-utero mortality of about 60 percent, principally due to cord entanglement prior to 32 weeks gestation. Many times, monoamniotic twins are delivered at 32 weeks electively for the safety of the babies. In higher order multiples, there can sometimes be a combination of fraternal/identical twins.

Semi-identical

Monozygotic twins can develop differently, due to different genes being activated.[19]. More unusual are "Semi-identical twins". These "half-identical twins" are hypothesized to occur when an unfertilized egg cleaves into two identical attached ova and which are viable for fertilization. Both cloned ova are then fertilized by different sperm and the coalesced eggs undergo further cell duplications developing as a chimeric blastomere. If this blastomere then undergoes a twinning event, two embryos will be formed, each of which have different paternal genes and identical maternal genes.

This results in a set of twins with identical genes from the mother's side, but different genes from the father's side. Cells in each fetus carry genes from either sperm, resulting in chimeras. This form had been speculated until only recently being recorded in western medicine

Twin Info 101

Since this blog is all about twins, i'll be posting things and information that involves matters concerning twins. And first thing we should know about it is what does the term twin means. So, I search for it and found an article about it at wikipedia.org. Just read below and find out.

Defining Twins:

Twins are two offspring resulting from the same pregnancy, either of the same or opposite sex. Human twins are two individuals who have shared the uterus during a single pregnancy and are usually, but not necessarily, born in close succession. Due to the limited size of the mother's womb, multiple pregnancies are much less likely to carry to full term than singleton births, with twin pregnancies lasting only 37 weeks on average, 3 weeks less than full term. Since premature births can have health consequences for the babies, twin births are often handled with special precautions.

Types of Twins:

1. Identical/ monozygotic
2. Fraternal/dizygotic -(commonly known as "non-identical twins")
3. Semi-identical

Five common variations of twinning.

(1) male-female fraternal twins -the most common result, at about 40 percent of all twins born;
(2) female fraternal twins -(sometimes called sororal twins);
(3) male fraternal twins
(4) female identical twins
(5) male identical -least common (I don't quite agree because so far all twins I know of are males)

1)
male-female fraternal twins


2. female fraternal twins



(3)
male fraternal twins


(4)
female identical twins


5) male Identical twins



Twin Trivia:

Do you know that there
are estimated to be approximately 125 million human twins and triplets in the world (roughly 1.9% of the world population),and there are just 10 million identical twins (roughly 0.2% of the world population and 8% of all twins).

*More detailed information about the types of twins coming up on the next post. Hope you watch out for it!


Twin Fascination


I don't really know what makes me so fascinated with twins especially with the baby ones. Twins are just so adorable to look at like. You look at them and you see two people that look so much alike and yet differ in so many ways. They're just so cute! Whenever I see twins it really makes me wish to have twin babies of my own someday. But I know there is really a rare possibility for that to happen. But if it will happen, then that would be awesome! By the way, I think my zodiac has some connection why I'm so into twins. I'm a Gemini so I guess that's the reason why. Maybe! hehe
And did I mention that I have a crush that also has a twin brother?! Yeah, that's right. Got a crush who's a pair of twin. Moreover, I think there are 3 - 4 sets of twins on our division at school. With all those twins around, how can a girl be not fascinated with Twins! :D
