Written by Nina Jacinto on October 19, 2009 - 12:59pm

Imagine your daughter and her seven friends came over and you knew that one of them would definitely be pregnant. If your daughter went to Robeson High School in Chicago, this would be the case: of 800 girls, 115 of them are pregnant or have had a child. The one in seven rate is astounding, and there are hundreds of factors that may contribute to the school's pregnancy numbers.

Worlds Oldest New Mother Dies Leaving Behind Twin Toddlers

Written by Rosa Cabrera on July 24, 2009 - 1:29pm

The argument that women over 35 should no longer be conceiving has been longstanding and for good reason. After the age of 35 the risks of developing certain medical conditions such as preeclampsia, diabetes, and placenta previa increase, although not much higher than they were when you were 34.

Statistics from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons show that breast augmentation headed the list of surgical procedures in 2008.

Learn More About Cervical Cancer Prevention

Written by National Women ... on April 21, 2009 - 11:08am

It's been nearly 40 years since President Nixon declared the "War on Cancer." And while we've made great strides in screening, diagnosis and treatment, it is a rare cancer against which we've actually "won" the battle. More and more, however, it's looking like cervical cancer may be that cancer.
