    Pregnancy Problems – The Embarrassing And The Unexpected Ones
    Here is part 2 on the series of problems during pregnancy that can be embarrassing and unexpected. Decreased Libido: You might not want to have sex, unlike your older non-pregnant self. For instance, the bouts of morning sickness and all that nausea might play party pooper; and then the aching back and large baby bump could pose for quite a challenge. You might also be worried that sex could hurt you and your baby. Lowered levels of libido are completely normal among women who are pregnant.

    What You Need To Know About Premature Births
    You may have read about a number of babies who are weigh around only a pound at birth; and they go on to survive and even thrive. The truth, unfortunately, is that these babies are the exceptions. Premature newborns are always at the risk of breathing problems, cerebral palsy, and loss of vision or hearing capabilities or even mental retardation. The picture is grim.
