Birth Control, Acne Pills & Pregnancy
When you were a teenager, you hoped your acne would go away the minute you turned 20. Unfortunately, acne remains a problem for some women into adulthood. You may have severe acne constantly, or you may break out around your period. If acne remains a problem to you, several methods of treating it exist, including taking birth control pills or for severe cases, taking acne pills. Acne pills can present serious risks to women who wish to become pregnant, though.
Child Behavior & Discipline
Your approach to disciplining your child may be as special as you are, or you may prefer to follow the textbook recommendations for discipline. Whatever method you follow, your goal is to have your child grow into a productive member of society. When considering discipline, remember that the process should not only entail punishments. It’s also about setting rules, expectations and recognizing good behavior, as well.
What to Expect at Your First Pregnancy Appointment
As soon as you know you are pregnant, schedule your first pregnancy appointment with your family physician, obstetrician or with a midwife. You will want to start your prenatal care as soon as possible. Most doctors schedule the first appointment at around the eighth week of pregnancy, according to the Baby Center website.
Safest Toddler Car Seats
It is time to switch that infant car seat into a booster car seat when your toddler can barely fit his bootie in it. As a toddler, he may be too small for a backless booster, so he will need something with a backrest, preferably a highback. With the many options available in the market today, it can be confusing on which car seat to choose. Fortunately, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has provided a list of the best choices you can consider.
About Fertility Drugs
When the time is right to have a baby, most couples assume they will be able to get pregnant naturally. For some, it might not be as easy as a romantic rendezvous. Up to 15 percent of couples have fertility problems, according to the Mayo Clinic. Fertility drugs are one of the first treatments for women who have fertility difficulties due to ovulation problems. Fertility drugs may also be used with other types of fertility treatments. Success rates using fertility drugs vary, depending on various factors, especially the age of the women, according to the American Fertility Association.
