Ectopic Pregnancy Miracle

babysugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 13:00:49 PDT

A very small percentage of women will suffer from an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is defined as: development of a fertilized egg elsewhere than in the uterus (as in a fallopian tube or the peritoneal cavity)

According to WebMD,

There is no way to save an ectopic pregnancy. It cannot turn into a normal pregnancy. If the egg keeps growing in the fallopian tube, it can damage or burst the tube and cause heavy bleeding that could be deadly. If you have an ectopic pregnancy, you will need quick treatment to end it before it causes dangerous problems.

In a very rare case, doctors missed the opportunity to diagnose Meera Thangarajah with such a pregnancy. After enduring an ovarian pregnancy, the happy family welcomed a daughter into their family. The couple named their baby girl Durga, which means Goddess.

Country crooners weren't the only stars shining in Vegas last weekend. Sunday night served up the world's finest in country music at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Sin City. Unlike Tinseltown, Vegas was NOT crawling with pregnant ladies. Maybe the casinos kept the mamas at bay. Or perhaps, it was the fear of standing next to Nicole Kidman on the red carpet. To see what was so intimidating,

But dressed in a stunning silver frock that accented her bump, she was a vision of beauty. How many months did it take for you to show? Source

Angelina Jolie has confirmed that she is with twins!

Mariah Carey and Ellen Baby Talk

babysugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:00:19 PDT

Is five weeks with Mr. Right and a successful album launch enough to make you want a baby? Less than a month ago, the New York Daily News reported that sultry songstress Mariah Carey said:

It's hard to have kids in this world. I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it.

Additionally, she said having children would leave her feeling violated.

Now, weeks later, the newlywed dished with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on the same subject. She told Ellen:

I always said if I found the right person who I felt would be on the same page as me in term of raising kids and having the same belief system, we'd have kids. I've always had a weird thing about it because my parents divorced when I was three and I didn't have many examples of what was the norm.

While I'm not one to begrudge the couple if they are excited about having children, I am stunned that her opinion changed so abruptly. What's your take?

Kate Stahl — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:41:54 PST

We've all heard of swollen feet during pregnancy - a not-so-surprising side effect considering they're supporting all that extra weight - but your feet are not the only body parts that can retain fluid while you're expecting. We've all seen a pregnant woman who looked so fluid-filled you kind of wanted to stick a pin in her to see if she'd pop (or maybe you were one of those women?), but water retention can hit less obvious places as well.

Jessica Simpson recently went to Twitter to talk about her swollen lips, saying it might be the first stage of "pregnancy face," a side effect that Bethenny Frankel dealt with by massage and putting bags of frozen veggies on her face. "I’m a swollen beast. My face exploded . . . I look like a chipmunk,” she tweeted while expecting daughter Bryn. Keep reading for 10 less talked-about body parts that can make for an often uncomfortable, and sometimes unsightly, pregnancy and postpartum experience.
