P-L-E-A-S-E!!
By A Customer
This is an amzing toy - specially for little girls who will or have just become big sisters!!! I have a 4 year old daughter and I am now 8 months pregnant. Do you expect me to hide my pregnancy from her to "protect her innocence"?? Yes,I am pregnant, yes she can see the baby moving inside, and yes - she is fascinated with it!!! It is such a beautiful and innocent thing for a child to see her mom pregnant!! Why not have a doll that "looks like mommy"?My being pregnant HAS NOT stolen my daughter's innocence! Neither will a pregnant Barbie steal your child's!!! My daughter does not know "how" the baby ended up in my tummy, and she is not interested either!! She is more interested in the fact there is a baby on the way!I think it is hypocritical and pathetic that people are "apalled" by this Barbie. If acknowledging there are pregnant women out there is so damaginng for a child, what do you suggest I do as to my own pregnancy? Lie to her and say the bump in my stomach is a watermellon?I hope Matel does not discontinue this doll.Please, go complain to Matel about the sexy Barbies out there! THOSE are a problem for little girls.
PS. By the way, she has a wedding ring on.

Why are so many people "shocked" at a pregnant doll whom is, by the way, MARRIED with a husband and older child. I have been an OB/GYN nurse for 23 years, and feel that this doll is an excellent example of a STABLE, happy family and a good role model/example for kids. It DOES NOT tell teenagers that it is ok to get pregnant when you are a unmarried, teenager. If this were the case the doll would not be called "happy family", it would be called "knocked up, unwed welfare teenage Mom". In my 23 years of nursing experience the young teen girls that end up pregnant are the ones who NEVER saw a pregnant womans belly and had very little knowledge of pregnancy. ALSO, I may add that before woman had regular access to modern medical pregnancy and birth care from doctors and hospitals, all babies were born at home and older children, especially farm children, were present during births of their siblings. Where babies came from was not a secret or "dirty" subject. And farm children also witnessed the births of many of the farm animals and I bet if someone where to do a study on these children, seeing and knowing about the process of pregnancy and birth did not increase unwed pregnancies and this group may even be in a much lower risk group for teen pregnancy is my guess. Excellent teaching toy when child is at apropriate age to understand the information. I would not give one to my 2 year old, but my 7, 8 or especially a 9 year old would only benefit from the doll. Thank you

I am 28 years old and far too old to be playing with dolls - but that's another story! what's all the fuss about? My mom never liked Barbie herself, a perpetual ice blond with inhuman measurements even the runway models cannot compare to! Barbie doll has probably given a lot of girls a poor self image. I grew up surrounded by little mannequin blonds and never felt un-beautiful at 4'11", raven - haired, and 110 pounds. I still look like a kid, truly. But, Midge is very, very different. My one complaint: the husband and wife should be offered together in a giftset. And - I still handle her with care. I think she can be fragile if knocked about. Mattel gets a lot of money by forcing us adults to "chase" and "hunt" down hard-to-find items. I saw my first C-section birth at the age of 3 on Phil Donahue and knew exactly how I was born and where I came from. I am not married and wouldn't have children unless I were. I believe that the Happy Family is the only positive product line from Mattel's Barbie & Friends. A true freckled strawberry-blond, she breaks the mold with a gentle face. Her hairstyle is simple and irresistible to style. The baby is adorable and, well, not easy to dress, but cradles into Mommy's arms. Her pregnancy belly is huge and can be left on after "delivery" so little ones can get a sense of what very new mommies look like. Her maternity smock is pretty, though the high-heel mules are impossible for a pregnant woman - just ask my girlfriends! And some maternity slacks would have been lovely. Mom bought me the entire line including the nursery, grandparents, Alan & Ryan, and the new Neighborhood series. I substituted the little red - haired girl for Nikki since I can't imagine Midge and Alan having such a tow - headed little child! Ryan is adorable! We use Pool Party Liana as his fraternal twin sister with her red - blond pageboy. Seeing grandparents is a generational twist I have been waiting for since junior high. We also collected the ethnic line and the dolls are beautiful. Midge's maternity dress layette is fabulous if you can find it with a diaper bag and post - partum slacks and shirt. Overall, this is a teriffic married couple with married parents that support a nice family. Kelly and friends and Chrissy baby give little ones the options of "adding" siblings and this a very realistic view if you total accessories. A child can really envision pregnancy and infant care and it can open up a really good discussion.
