My baby will be taken from me the moment it's born 2007-09-15 18:41:00 This is a story about Fran Lyon. I came across this story and it disturbed me a great deal. I feel like the more people that read Fran Lyon's story, the more we can become educated on what kind of injustice of this sort is happening, not just in the UK, but around the world too. Here is her story. The daughter of teachers and with a glittering academic future, Fran was delighted when she became pregnant. But social services discovered the illness she thought she'd put behind her- and will confiscate her daughter when she is born... Fran Lyon is due to give birth to her first child- a daughter she has already named Molly- on January 3. But the prospect, far from being one of joyous anticipation, fills her with a dread that keeps her awake at night.It's not because Fran doesn't want the child. She does. Desperately. And not because she is frightened of the pain of labor. She is prepared for that.It is what happens afterwards that furls Fran's anxiety. And there can be no prepa
Champagne Wishes And Caviar Dreams!!! 2007-09-15 04:38:00 It's funny how every bodies opinion of this expression differ. For somepeople it would be loads of money and never having to work again. For me it would be dirty diapers and four O'clock feedings. To have my very own baby, that I have wanted since as far back as I can remember. I have watched other people's children for so long, that sometimes having a child of my own seems so far fetched. When I found out I was pregnant for the first time in my life, I thought I was dreaming. I kept pinching myself, I was so happy. When I miscarried my world shattered. I still have my hopes and dreams of having children someday. problem is that I am already thirty three. When I miscarried my doctor informed me my eggs are old and that in your thirty's your odds off conceiving go down considerably. "Are you kidding me"? "Is this some kind of joke"? I was stunned! I mean I know that as you get older, your chances of conceiving go down, but my lands, that is the last thing I want to hear, but any Read more:Dreams

Yearning for a baby! 2007-09-15 01:16:00 Yearning for a baby is the hardest thing to deal with, especially after suffering a miscarriage. The good thing is knowing I can get pregnant again. The bad thing is I lost a child. Every time some one said, well at least you can try again, or when someone said they were so sorry, it made mejust cry harder. I actually felt like someone ripped my heart out every time I heard that. Why do people assume you can get pregnant again, and "No Big Thing". "HELLO"! " I Just Lost My Baby"! Nothing anyone says makes it better! Except maybe time, will help ebb the pain.Every time I saw a baby, or a pregnant woman, I would start sobbing uncontrollably. It's been three months since my miscarriage and we are trying again, but the miscarriage is still difficult for me, especially because I would have given birth to my precious angel in 11 weeks. I am moving on, and giving my strong yearning for a baby to God. I pray that someday soon, I too will be blessed with a miracle. It's funny how some peop
Unintended Pregnancy Down Among Teens But Up for Young Adults 2007-09-14 16:40:00 News that America's teen pregnancy rate fell 36 percent made for celebratory headlines this year, but a lesser-known finding is that among young adult women, rates of unwanted and unintended pregnancy have actually increased."The nation has made extraordinary progress in teen pregnancy, but there's been no corresponding progress among twenty-somethings," says Bill Albert, deputy director of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy
.The rate of unwanted pregnancies among women ages 20 to 24 rose by 6 percent from 1994 to 2001, though it declined among teens, according to the National Campaign. Further, 54 percent of unwanted pregnancies occur to women in their twenties, with the largest proportion, 32 percent, among women 20-24.In complementary findings, the Guttmacher Institute calculated an increase in the rate of unintended pregnancies among women ages 19-35. (The 'unintended' category includes unwanted pregnancies, described as such by the women surveyed, as well as those Read more:Teens

Teen Pregnancy! 2007-09-02 04:25:00 Each Year, almost 750,000 teenage women aged 15-19 become pregnant. The teenage pregnancy rate in this country is at it's lowest in 30 years, down 36% since it's peak in 1990.

Implantation Bleeding!! 2007-09-02 00:19:00 Implantation bleeding is very interesting to me because it's different for everyone. Which means that for some women they will have spotting, some women will notice a small pink color when they wipe. Other women like me, will get a light- to medium flow, that will be a reddish brown color and can easily be mistaken for a period. The way to know the difference is that, this will only last a day or two and will not be heavy like your normal period. There is however the misconception that implantation bleeding is just spotting, or a little tiny amount of blood, which is just simply not true. I had a light to medium flow like implantation bleeding with both of my pregnancies, both lasting two days. Both times I also was not able to get an accurate reading on a pregnancy test, until after I had implantation bleeding. Along with implantation bleeding I had some pregnancy symptoms. I had really bad headaches. I was unbelievably tired all the time. I would wake up in the morning and sti
Miscarriage... 2007-08-30 21:32:00 Miscarriage is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through in my life. I was 14 weeks and 1 day pregnant with my first child, when I miscarried. Some miscarriages occur before women recognize that they are pregnant. Only about 15% of fertilized eggs even has a chance to implant ( embed itself ) in the wall of the uterus. A woman would not generally identify this type of miscarriage. Another 15% of conceptions are lost before eight weeks' gestation. Once fetal heart function is detected in a given pregnancy, the chance of miscarriage is less than 5%. A woman who may be showing the signs of a possible miscarriage ( such as vaginal bleeding ) may hear the term "threatened abortion" used to describe her situation. Miscarriage occurs in about 15-20% of all recognized pregnancies, and usually occurs before the 13th week of pregnancy. The actual percentage of miscarriages is estimated to be as high as 50% of all pregnancies, since many miscarriages occur without the woman ever having k

Pregnancy Care! 2007-08-26 11:41:00 If you got a positive pregnancy test CONGRATULATIONS!!!Prenatal Care Is Very Important for a healthy pregnancy, most health care providers won't see you until around 12 weeks.The reason for this is because the baby needs to develop, before an ultrasound can be performed. An ultrasound will be set up for you on your first prenatal visit, but only if your around 12 weeks, unless their is a medical problem. No need to panic, if you think 12 weeks for your first prenatal visit is to long to wait, rest assured that,It is most health care providers policies. A really good reason to wait 12 weeks before an ultrasound is that, you can be misdiagnosed, meaning they may not see a fetal pole. If they don't, a lot of doctors will say you miscarried and they will want to do a dnc. Please if you go before 12 weeks and if this happens to you,(It happened to me) get a second opinion. Many, many times Women are told they are having a miscarriage, or will miscarry in a matter of days. A lot of times Read more:Pregnancy
Getting A "Period" While Pregnant. 2007-09-28 12:43:00 Many women report getting what seem like regular periods during early pregnancy. How can this be? First of all, it helps to realize that since the hormones of pregnancy totally prevent ovulation, the bleeding is not truly a menstrual period, but rather early pregnancy bleeding. That said, the perception of having a menstrual period (or more than one) in early pregnancy can confuse the due date and delay some pregnant women from seeking appropriate and timely medical care.Implantation bleedingMany mothers-to-be get a few days of bleeding right around the time that the early embryo is burrowing into the wall of the uterus. On average, this occurs five days after conception and may be confused with an early period, especially if the woman is not keeping close track of her cycles.This implantation bleeding is normal and is not a sign of any problem with the pregnancy. The biggest problem with implantation bleeding is that it can lead to a mistakenly later due date if it is counted as a men Read more:Period
