It's time for me to start crossing things off my pregnancy bucket list!

I realize that 'bucket list' may not be the best term to use when talking about pregnancy, given it is associated with death. To be very clear, I'm not planning on kicking the bucket at the end of this pregnancy...but sometime very soon this pregnancy will be done, over, gone! And all you seasoned moms out there know that my current lifestyle will be dead the moment this new little baby is born. My older kids, ages 5 and 3, are potty trained and capable of going several hours without eating. It is liberating to go to the playground with just my wallet, keys, and phone, easy peasy. Read on.

Today the Huffington Post reinforces what I realize every time I write my son's daycare check: Parenting is incredibly expensive. Last year the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates put the cost at around $300,000 for a middle-class family; the WSJ says that it's a "severe underestimate." (And I would agree, since that's about what we pay for preschool. Just kidding. Kind of.) The WSJ says the figure is more like $900,000, when you factor in things like the lost wages incurred by stay-at-home parents and the astronomical cost of college. Read on.

When I was eight months pregnant, my British husband and I were living in my native country of India. I don't know how – and I wish I did, so that I'd know to avoid these awkward detours in conversation in the future – but chatting with my mother one afternoon, I landed on the subject of car seats. How my husband and I intended to buy one so that we could, you know, bring the baby home safely. Read on.

I was showing my favorite photograph of the baby to an acquaintance. She commented on the girl's sweet thighs sticking out of her flowered onesie and her kissable cheeks, and I said, with maternal pride, "She's such a chubby bunny." The other woman seemed mildly horrified that I would call my daughter chubby, even in an admiring way. "Don't worry," she said. "She'll grow out of it. Read on.

A simple blood test could soon tell whether a pregnant woman is at risk of post- natal depression.

The test, which spots two genes in DNA that may signal the onset of the condition, has proved at least 85 per cent accurate in early trials carried out by psychiatrists. Read on.

It's a sign of just how deep tensions are around parenting today that, over two years after Amy Chua's "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" was published, its combination of shocking revelation, serious reflection and tongue-in-cheek exaggeration still sends T. Rex-scale ripples skittering across the surface of our sociocultural Dixie cups. Read on.

This past Sunday was Mother's Day. But for Asians everywhere, yesterday was Tiger Mother's Day, when kids whose handmade cards have been rejected as half-assed traditionally turn in second drafts, desperately hoping that this time, their craftsmanship will meet muster. (Think you'll earn tigro-maternal approval with anything less than decoupage and letterpress embossing? Fat chance. And speaking of fat, you've put on a few pounds, haven't you? Less dining hall, more study hall, chubbo!) Read on.

There were packs of bright markers, pastel stickers and stamp sets on each of the tables at the self-esteem workshops Dove held during the 2013 Mom 2.0 Summit in Laguna Niguel, CA over the weekend. The attendees all had looseleaf paper in front of them, but only the 13-year-old members of a local Girls Inc. group, sitting beside mom bloggers and business owners, wrote the date in the corner and drew their names in flowery letters immediately. Watching those kids, I was transported back to middle school. Read on.

Jessica Alba admitted to wearing two corsets day and night to help whittle her waist back to its prepregnancy size. Gwyneth Paltrow poured herself into two pairs of Spanx to push her post-pregnancy pudge into submission. Read on.

It's been 70 years since the idea of the "good enough mother" was popularised by psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. Since then, there's been a plethora of parenting advice, with everything from the naughty step to a time limit on cuddling catching on. Read on.

It's easy to turn parents into a caricature of sorts. There's the bumbling diaper-illiterate Dad who intently watches ESPN while his toddler scales a bookshelf, and sincerely can't say if his son just turned 7 or 8. Standing above him is the disheveled, frumpy Mom who wears the (yoga) pants in the family -- chauffeuring over-scheduled kids in her mini van, micro-managing household chores, and withholding sex as a marriage tactic. Read on.

Divorce is tough enough. When children try to protect their parents from its consequences, the parenting is moving backwards and the results are devastating. Always be careful of what you share with your children regarding your own emotional state during and after your divorce. It can create enormous confusion for your children, along with guilt, frustration and despair. Read on
