Choroid Plexus Cysts and My Scary Ultrasound

Written by Susan Schade on April 20, 2009 - 8:12am

It was a big day. I was pregnant with our first baby and we had an ultrasound appointment scheduled in the afternoon. Today was the day that we would (hopefully) find out if we were having a boy or girl.

Why am I experiencing severe irritability and depression after having a baby?

ASKED by Anonymous on November 19, 2009 - 5:41pm

I am having crying spells twice a week at the minimum and I get rages of anger from being so irritable that I scream and freak out al of a sudden.

The news came uncomfortably close to federal officials' new statement that women over 50 should begin to have a mammogram every two years as opposed to the original annual exam for women over 40. As new recommendations begin to flood in, what will be the new norm? And what do we do in the mean time?

Is 45 too old to have a baby??

ASKED by Anonymous on April 9, 2009 - 11:14am

I'm recently married and my new husband and I have started talking about having a baby together. Not right away, but maybe we'd start trying in the next year or two.

Premature Births Worsen U.S. Infant Mortality Rate

Written by Anna Portela on November 19, 2009 - 3:43pm

Premature births are the main reason that the U.S. infant mortality rate is higher than in most European countries, according to a government report issued November 3. In the U.S. one in eight births is premature. These births are much less common in Europe, and in Ireland and Finland only one in eighteen babies is premature.
