Smoking has been associated with premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation and congenital malformations. Knowing that active smoking presents an increased health risk, the question arises as to whether there are also any increased health risks to the fetus when a pregnant woman inhales smoke generated by others?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was mentioned that it is not unusual for women to have decreased sex drive postpartum due to emotional and physical changes that occur after delivery. However, for those that feel up to the big event, avoiding unwanted pregnancy soon after delivering is highly desirable. I thought this would be a great opportunity to discuss with my readers the brand new "hot off the press" guidelines published by the CDC on July 8, 2011 concerning the revised recommendations for the use of contraception immediately following delivery.]]></description>

But some women may experience symptoms, such as nausea, back pain, limited mobility, circulatory problems, or fatigue, which may affect the ability to perform job duties. So we ask the question, can pregnancy be considered a disability?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Radiation studies from past catastrophes such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1946) Three Mile Island (1979) and Chernobyl (1986)  have helped us determine the amount of radiation exposure that is considered safe. Still, many of the answers have yet to be determined, especially for pregnant women. Therefore, I thought it important to share some information about radiation exposure with specific regard to the fetus and pregnancy.

There are vast differences between children, and all children will develop skills and behaviors at different times and still be considered “normal.” However, knowing some basic information about what to look for at different ages will give you much reassurance, and also at the same time enable you to tune into any developmental delays at an early stage, allowing a parent to intervene earlier and prevent a minor problem from becoming a major problem.]]></description>

She may have over-reached a bit but her heart was in the right place.

		<description><![CDATA[Periodontal disease begins as gingivitis, or inflammation of the soft tissue that supports the teeth. This inflammation is caused by a specific oral bacteria named gram negative anaerobic bacteria. In combination with the elevated hormones during pregnancy that increase blood volume and capillary fragility, these bacteria give rise to redness, increased sensitivity, bleeding and pain. Left untreated, these conditions can predispose a pregnant woman to more serious problems down the road.]]></description>
