one of my freinds told me that her sister had a baby and she had to get the baby examined and the doctor had to stick his arm all the way to his elbow to see where the head is…has this ever happened to you moms?
shes 6′3″…but do they really stick up their whole hand to feel where the baby is? why cant they do an ultrasound?

Mardie Caldwell, COAP asked:


“I have had a boyfriend for over two years. He wants to have sex without a condom and says he will pull out before he ejaculates. The other day my boyfriend and I were fooling around a lot but we did not go all the way. He ejaculated near my vagina but that was it. Is it possible to get pregnant without having sex?”

Well the first thing any doctor will say is ANYTHING is possible. Basically, if any semen was near your vagina, it is possible for you to get pregnant. It only takes a very small amount of semen to enter your vagina, and make it to your uterus, for you to get pregnant.

If you are having sex or even almost having sex, you can get pregnant. Any time there is ejaculation and semen around; it is possible that you could get pregnant. Using protection even during foreplay can help reduce your risk of becoming pregnant.

Many women believe that if they are not having intercourse with vaginal penetration, then they do not need to take precautions. This is just not true. You are susceptible to pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted diseases if you are being this intimate with your partner.

There are many women who say they did not have full intercourse and now they are pregnant; as well as women who contract sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia, vaginal warts, HIV and AIDS. If you are going to be sexually intimate with your partner in any way, you are exposing yourself to these possibilities.

For years, it has been argued about whether the penis actually has to be in the vagina during ejaculation in order for the woman to get pregnant. It is not the case that the penis has actually been in the vagina. This goes for the often-tried birth control method of “pulling out” as well. Men release a pre-ejaculation fluid that contains sperm. This pre-ejaculation does not

offer the man the same sensations as regular ejaculation, so the man does not pull his penis out during the pre-ejaculation. This is how many women get pregnant even though their partner’s penis was not in their vagina during the ejaculation.

If you think you may be pregnant you should take a home pregnancy test as soon as you have missed your period. Or if you want to know the results earlier, you can visit your doctor or a local family planning clinic.

If you find out later that you are pregnant with an unplanned pregnancy, it can be very scary. Today there are many options available if you have an unplanned pregnancy.You can visit Lifetime Adoption for more information on adoption, and to chat live. In today’s adoption world, you can choose how involved you want to be with the adoptive family. Open adoption offers women the option of finding a forever family for their baby, while maintaining contact through letters and pictures.

Congratuations if you’ve just found out that you’re pregnant!

You know when you need to start purchasing maternity clothes when you start bursting out of your favourite jeans and they gradually starting falling down your hips!

This is the point where you can either experiment with the various belly fasteners that are currently on the market to try and get more mileage out of your pre-pregnancy jeans, or bite the bullet and make your first maternity investment into pure comfort! Buy a good pair of maternity jeans.

Bootleg, skinny leg, straight leg, wide leg ….. with elasticated waist pull on or non elasticated waist? Which one should I choose?

Maternity jeans have come a long way and now with so many styles around, its often hard to know which style to choose, so lets look at the fundamental basic styles around.

Staying Up

The most important factor when purchasing maternity jeans has to be the ability for them to stay up. I guess, like most maternity clothes, this depends on your shape, or your baby’s shape aka: the bump.

I’ve tried on a whole heap of different maternity jeans and, in my opinion, maternity jeans with the wide jersey fabric stitched onto the maternity jean waistband is the best style to ensure stay-up ability. If you think about it, it makes sense because the jersey fabric pulls up (and sometimes over) the bump, giving something for the maternity jeans to hold on to.

Of course, there are maternity jeans available that only have a small elasticated waistband and these would ensure comfort, ease of pulling on and will stay up pretty good but the waistband will sit just on the bump at mid point of your belly.

If you really hate the look of the ‘pouch’ style look with the jersey panel that pulls up over your belly, then opt for the ‘under belly’ style which look just like non pregnancy jeans and have an internal elasticated system which you can pull in tight for a more snug fit, or release when your belly expands to give more room. The good thing about these maternity jeans, is that they don’t look like maternity jeans at all, and you would be more inclined to wear them again after the birth of your baby, whilst slimming back down to your normal size. The waistband usually sits just under the belly as hipsters and this depends on your size and shape of your maternity bump as to whether they stay up!

Maternity wear is now stylish as well as functional and gone are the days of the wide flowing tent-like garments that try to hide the growing bump. Now days, we welcome the use of elasticated, stretchy fabrics like spandex, elastane and lycra that ensure the fabric can grow with your bump and accentuate your new curves and growing bump. Gorgeous maternity blouses, maternity dresses and maternity tops are all available in beautiful modern prints and styles that will look fantastic paired with a great fitting maternity jean.

The most flattering of all maternity jean styles has to be the bootleg cut. This style really helps to balance the silhouette of weight at the mid point of your belly, with the wider cut at the ankle and gives a really streamlined look that in turn, makes you look slimmer. These days, a whole host of colours are available, the most popular being dark indigo, washed blue and jet black.

If you are lucky enough to carry off this season’s hottest maternity jean style, then try the skinny leg maternity jean. Popular colours include dark indigo, vintage blue, jet black and washed blue.

Straight Leg maternity jeans are a good alternative to the skinny leg maternity jean as they balance out the leg from the thinnest to the widest point, creating a more streamlined, flattering look to the body. Popular colours this season include dark indigo, jet black, vintage blue, washed blue and white.

Maternity jeans, hands down are a pregnant gals godsend when it comes to good maternity wardrobe investment. There are lots of different price points out there, but of course, this depends on your own personal budget. Don’t forget, you will get a lot of mileage out of your maternity jeans for there is a good chance that you will be wearing your maternity jeans well after the birth of your baby until your body shape has returned to normal.
