Ever Thought About Becoming A Surrogate Mom?

By Calli Kuzon

Many people are unable to conceive children through natural methods. If you have rejected adoption there is another route open to you, surrogate parenting. This is an legal agreement between the retrospective parties. One of the parties, a woman, goes through in vitro fertilization and becomes pregnant with another woman's baby. After the birth she will not have any legal rights to the child. Depending on what was signed in the legal contract, the surrogate may not be allowed to get involved in the child's life.

If you have thought about becoming a surrogate or even want to hire a surrogate, it's a decision that demands some serious attention. As well as getting paid for this the surrogate mom's expenses relating to the pregnancy and birth of the child will also be paid for.

So after the pregnancy and birth is finished the baby is transferred to woman who could not conceive herself. You can find that sometimes the surrogate will know the couple, they could be a friend or even a family member. They could also be unknown, or doing it for the money, or they just want to help others who cannot conceive.

In short if you are considering being a surrogate, it is vitally important that you understand the legalities and specifics of what you are agreeing to. It is agreed that the ideal circumstances a woman should become a surrogate in, is if she already has children, and does not want any more of her own. This is why the complex legal document has to be set up in the first place.

If you cannot have children and are interested in surrogacy you can gain further information from these resources. Have a look at surrogate parenting sites on the web. As the law differs in various counties try and find out the regulations for your state. Sign up to surrogacy forums as you will meet people who have been through it before. Check out some books on the subject to extensively research the subject before you agree on anything. - 29860

Baby Gender Prediction Using The Shettles Method

By Jerri Herose

The late Dr. Landrum Shettles developed a baby gender selection method that he felt was "best supported by scientific evidence".

Dr Shettles wrote a best selling book called How To Choose The Sex Of Your Baby, you'll find a link at my site. He claimed a 75%-90% success rate using his techniques. There have been a few ebooks authored (also at my site) that claim an even higher success rate of up to 98%. These ebooks utilize Dr Shettles methods as well as other baby gender prediction methods to achieve this amazing success rate!

Dr Shettles method is takes advantage of the fact that it's the man's sperm that ultimately determines the sex of your baby. Why? Because the womans egg only carries one set of chromosomes (xx) or all girl! While the man's sperm comes in either the (xy) configuration which results in a girl baby, or the (yy) which results in a boy baby. Also Dr Shettles realized that the girl sperm was physically larger, slower, and much stronger (or longer lived) than the boy sperm which conversely is the smaller, faster, and more fragile (dies off quicker) of the two.

The doctor also realized that timing of intercourse, and the depth of penetration during conceptual intercourse could help to determine if the resulting baby was a boy or girl. The mother-to-be will have to track her day of ovulation precisely in order to time conceptual intercourse precisely as well.

If wanting a baby boy abstain from sex until 24 hrs before you ovulate, than have sex as much as you want (more is better here!) until about 48 hrs after ovulation. Also using positions that allow deep penetration (doggie style) will deposit the sperm as close as possible to the fresh waiting egg, and allow the fast swimming boy sperm their best chance to win the race and give you that special little baby boy you want.

Want a baby girl? Well, to give yourself the best chance of success abstain from sex for two days before ovulation until two days after ovulation. Also when having sex to try and conceive practice only shallow (especially during ejaculation) penetration. Why is this? Because, by using only shallow penetration you will (hopefully) be giving the girl sperm a time and distance advantage over the boy sperm, resulting in the baby girl you desire.

Shettles also realized that the mother-to-be's bodily ph also plays a role in baby gender prediction. A lower ph (higher acidity) favors the girl sperm, while a higher ph (more on the alkaline side) favors the boy sperm.

Sounds pretty simple, right? Well if you are serious about this gender prediction stuff, you will benefit from a good guide to take you through the entire process step by step. I mean, you only have one chance (per child ;o) to get this right! So visit my site and raise you chance of success from only 50/50 to well over 90%! - 29860

Complications And Pregnancy, Sometimes You Just Don't Know.

By Anna Snyder

My story of my pregnancy with my eldest one is complicated. Literally. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was so excited. Little did I know that it might cost me my life and his.

My entire pregnancy seemed normal to me, but then again, I had nothing to compare it to. Although I was practically sick all day (nauseous during the day and puking at night) this too seemed normal and it was, to an extent. All day sickness I called it. I learned to cope with it and things were going fine. My blood pressure stayed normal and I was gaining weight sufficiently, the baby was growing fine and there were no concerns. I was even exercising regularly.

Then one evening, I felt this pain under my ribs, right in the liver area. I was also throwing up, but this was nothing unusual. It was a dense pain and I thought that maybe it was just another episode of heartburn. My husband said that I should go and get it checked out. I had gone to the hospital a couple of months before because I was being paranoid and I thought that I was leaking amnionic fluid. But I was wrong. So, off to the hospital I went. the first older nurse that had seen to me, said that I should just go home and rest and that I just had the flu. How wrong she was, and if we had listened to her, I would have seizured at home.

The other nurse that was also on duty told the first nurse that they should check my blood pressure first. They did, and I am sure that they were glad that they did that or it would have a serious mistake on their part. My blood pressure was 200 and something over 100 and something. (regular blood pressure is 120/60.) They then took blood and urine samples, and every other test on the face of the planet, so it seemed. I had toxemia, preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. No one even knew, I had no tell tale signs of any of the diagnosis'.

Then the craziness started. I was constantly under nurse supervision, constantly being attended to. Injections of gravol and steroids (for the baby's lungs), blood pressure check constantly and I was also put on the highest dose of blood pressure medication possible for an expecting woman. I was not quite with it, and dosing constantly only to be wakened by the blood pressure cuff.

Since the hospital that I had been admitted to could not deliver me (I was only 32 weeks) I was transferred by ambulance to another hospital, where I waited for them to poke and prod me some more and then take an ultra sound and then decide that they also could not deliver me. I needed a hospital with NICU. So, I was once again put into an ambulance and off to another hospital I went.

It was like an up and down roller coaster for us as new to become parents. I was swelling up like a balloon from all of the fluid backing up into my interstitial spaces and pretty soon there was no where for it to go, except my lungs. I was starting to drown in my own fluid. I was no longer urinating and my kidneys stopped working. In a 24 hour period, I only urinated maybe an ounce. The nurses put a catheter in me to regulate it better, and I begged them to take it out until it was truly needed. I said that I would pee in the "hat" (a plastic thing that catches the pee in the toilet so they can regulate how much my kidneys were actually working.) This was all in a span of a few days.

Because of my condition, I was always in the room nearest to the nurse's station. I went from being able to exercise to becoming breathless just to sit up in bed.

When it came for them to deliver me (because the only way that I would get better is for my baby to come out) they weighed me and then I even got to have a bath. I was so full of fluid that I could barely bend my legs to get into the tub. I was practically drowning in my own fluid and I never really new how sick I was.

They had to poke my spine nine times before they got it partly right. But when the freezing of the spinal still did not work, they decided to tilt the operating table so the freezing moved to the right area for them to operate. They could not put me under because of how critical my condition was.

Jakob was born 3:04 a.m. weighing a measly 3 pounds 6 ounces, and after he peed and pooed on the nurse, he was whisked away to NICU and then things just happened in a flurry. I suddenly could not breath, my lungs started to freeze. My husband was sent out of the operating room as they prepared to intubate me. When they finally got the situation under control, I was sent to the recovery room with extra watch from the nurses. Towels wrapped around my head, because I had instant headaches from the doctors puncturing my spine (every time the needle went in my spine, a bubble of air comes out and causes spinal headaches).

I suffered with spinal headaches for months after that, and I eventually lost all the excess fluid and became skin and bones, very sickly looking. I was given from a friend a product called Relive, and this helped me on the road to recovery. I was pumping my breast milk for Jakob, and every day whenever I went to visit him in the hospital (even though it was over 1 hour away from our house) I would bring them the breast milk.

Jakob stayed in the NICU for 2 weeks, and then he was transferred to a hospital closer to our house with a Level 2 nursery, where he stayed there for 3 1/2 weeks. He has had many ups and downs, a couple of minor surgeries, and he is a healthy happy 5 1/2 year old now. - 29860

You can control your ph with your diet and taking a few supplements (over time) or much quicker by douching with the right solution, (although because of the risk of infections I would recommend using douching only under your doctors supervision.)

Woman Health Pills

By George O. Pall

The women have the habit of taking pills at some or the other time. They have made it a part of themselves. Different women have different reasons to take these pills, but one must know when to take woman health pills.

The women may have different purpose for these pills. Some would require controlling their periods, but the other would need it to regulate the periods. Women take this pill to avoid their periods because of problems related to cyst.

Most of the women would take these pills as suggested by their doctors. Women who have unprotected sex are totally unsafe. They then need to take these pills to get rid of pregnancy, but it must be consumed by consulting a doctor.

The women are most unprotected in the days between 10th to the 20th during their cycle. It is natural for a woman to ovulate during the periods and mostly on the 15th - 16th day. This information suits only for the women who have a natural 28 day period cycle.

Chances of pregnancy are more when a woman has sex between 10th to 20th days of the cycle. These days are called unsafe time. Women who wish to avoid pregnancy can pop up these pills in order to avoid any unwanted pregnancy.

There are many women who develop the habit of chewing birth control pills. Excessive use of birth control pills can lead to cancer. Hence, women must avoid these pills and must take it only when it is necessary.

Common users of birth control people include patients who have poly cystic ovaries. They tend to miss their period. So their doctors prescribe them pills in order to get their period. These pills are normally prescribed with other medicines like metformin which controls the cyst.

Birth control pills must be taken in less quantity. This should not be a regular habit and consult your doctor on this. It is always better to be safe and sound without taking too much risk. - 29860
