During a special feature in the latest Allure magazine, some celebrities shared their most interesting dreams in recent memory. Two celebrity moms remembered dreams from their pregnancies.

"My dreams were interesting when I was pregnant. I dreamed the baby was a cat," said SNL star Maya Rudolph, who has one daughter, 16-month-old Pearl, with beau, director Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights).

"I dreamed that I gave birth to a dragon," said Oscar winner Rachel Weisz, mother to Henry Chance, 9 months, who’s father is also a director, Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain).

Did you have strange dreams when you were pregnant?

Rachel Weisz causes controversy talking about drinking while pregnant

cbbauthor — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 10:44:36 +0000

Actress Rachel Weisz, 35, who gave birth to son Henry Chance Aronofsky in May, caused controversy when talked about drinking alcohol while being pregnant. When asked at the premiere of Fountain whether having a glass of wine during pregnancy is fine, she replied: "Personally I do. They say not in the first three months though, but I think that after that it’s fine. I mean in Europe they drink it". Her comments were received as "ill-informed" and "dangerous".

Scientists have different views on this. UK guidelines say it is okay for pregnant women to drink one or two units; one or two small glasses of wine once or twice a week. However, in USA and Canada, complete abstinence of drinking is advised for expectant mothers. A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We recommend a guideline of one or two units of alcohol once or twice a week, at any stage of pregnancy. The principal outcome from our scientific tests is that for most, there is no adverse effects for low to moderate pre-natal alcohol consumption. Women should stick to these guidelines even if they are trying for a baby."

We ask you to take Weisz’s comments calmly. She was born and raised in the UK so she has different views than our American readers.

What did your doctor advise you on alcohol consumption during your pregnancy?

Rachel Weisz's tips for losing the baby weight – nursing and Pilates

Sarah — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 13:58:32 +0000

Oscar winning actress Rachel Weisz, 35, was interview by People last Thursday evening at a British Academy of Film and Television Arts event, and was asked what her secret was for losing her baby weight since the birth of son Henry Chance, now 5 months.

However, she says she doesn’t have a secret, saying, "I don’t really have a magic potion or pill…I do Pilates. Nursing burns a lot of calories, 500 calories a day. So, if I could help promote breast-feeding, that would be a good way."

"I was seven months pregnant when I won the Academy Award! Really, since then, I’ve just been a mom, mainly. It’s the most ultimate honor you can get. But I had to duck out of the rat race for a bit and be Mom."

Yet, Rachel’s also been quite busy since mid-summer – balancing the challenges of being a mom (click here to read about Henry’s hernia surgery) while going back to work. Rachel’s already filmed a bit part in My Blueberry Nights, and is now filming her first larger role since giving birth, a part in the ensemble film Definitely, Maybe. Of the working mom experience, Rachel says, "I have respect for all working moms out there, because it’s definitely a complicated balancing act, which millions of women are doing all the time…But I’m part of that club now."
