Rosie Pope
Today, Marie welcomes star of the Bravo hit series "Pregnant in Heels" and author of "Mommy IQ," Rosie Pope! Rosie recently welcomed her third child, and speaks openly of the infertility issues she experienced. Her advice for those struggling with similar problems is to always have faith, and believe that they will have a family, but perhaps not the way they originally planned. Rosie also recommends to moms-to-be to become as educated as possible in advance, so they can relax when the baby finally arrives!

Next, Rosie presents Marie and the audience a fashion show featuring six beautiful looks from her latest line of maternity wear, all under $100.

Summer Sanders
Marie brings to the stage Olympic gold medalist Summer Sanders, alongside Dr. Julianne Stoughton of Massachusetts General Hospital. They discuss the warning signs of varicose veins, which Summer developed after her second pregnancy. Treating varicose veins is not just a cosmetic issue; they can develop into Chronic Veinous Insufficiency, which can cause permanent skin damage and ulcers. But there are procedures, often covered by insurance, that can solve the problem in a single afternoon.

Liza Utter
When the expiration dates on the foods in your refrigerator seem like a mystery, food expert Liza Utter can help. Liza explains the differences between "sell by," "best by," and more. The expiration date is the "drop dead" date for the food, while "best by" is a manufacturer's term for when a food will be of the highest quality. "Sell by" is determined by the retailer; they have to take it off the shelf on that date. When buying something around the "sell by" date, don't wait to eat it!
