A young mom gave birth recently and her baby was taken swiftly away from her by the state of Texas. For many this may and may not be a big deal, except the baby was taken from her because she was part of that Polygamous group in Texas.
The baby born was born on April 29th, this will now bring the total children the state has in custody to 465. At first the child was taken away as the state believed the mother was a minor, it turns out she probably isn’t. But the state wants to be sure and even at that point the baby may not be returned.
How do you feel?

This is such amazing news and I’m sure it’ll bring controversy around the abortion vs. non-abortion rallies for a while. But a little girl by the name of Ellie-Suzanne Fish was born at 23-weeks old.
For those that don’t know a legal abortion is okay at up to 24-weeks of a pregnancy. However, this little girl was actually born at 23-weeks old and has recently went home after 9-months of being in hospital care. Doctors never thought the tiny baby (embryo as some would call her) would ever survive. Skin wasn’t even totally created yet and they could see her blood coursing through her tiny body.
When she was born she only weighed 1lb 4.7oz and today weighs 14lbs. Talk about your miracle baby, while she isn’t completely out of the woods, she’s already beaten most of the odds of living. Source

Man and women have always had a hard time when it comes to choosing a baby name. Why? It could be one of many reasons, that being a name is one of the most important things you can ever decide for your child because they’ll grow up with it for the rest of their life. People will call your child by the name you have picked out, he/she will have to sign that name on papers for the rest of their life, etc.
Many believe a name can make or break a person, it hasn’t been proven that this is true but by looking through the past you can see a trend in certain types of names. In a movie I once saw someone stated that people with only two names ended up being murderers, while I don’t believe that it shows what some think about names. What are some things you may have heard about naming a baby?
Some will try to figure out a name that can easily be called many others. Nicknames is what my father would call this and he believes when you “nickname” someone it shows how much you love them. But some names just don’t allow them to be nicknamed. For me, I have a common name, it’s Elizabeth, however my middle name is spelled differently and many people mistake it as being “Annie” instead of “Anne.” I never had a hard time learning to spell my name or was teased by it, except for being a good girl. Most Elizabeth’s are, however you shorten it to a “Beth” and you might get the evil twin. Growing up my name could be shorten to many things, most common was “Liz” I was never called “Beth.” However as an adult I wanted to grow out of the little girl that everyone knew and began calling myself, “Eliza” since it sounded so grown up and I loved the character in books, not to mention the name sounded exotic. Do you have a nickname name?

An advocacy group is trying to get the J&J birth control patch banned. Why? The patch is supposedly increasing women’s risk to get blood clots and they’ve formed a petition. Would you sign in?

This made me so mad just seeing the headlines, but it gets worse as these weren’t parents that just let their daughter roam free and she got “knocked up” as many would put it. But this 10-year-old was the victim of rape by 37-year-old Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez, who thankfully is in prison.
She gave birth to a little girl this past Saturday at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, Idaho. There is no other information on the birth or how the two are doing, nor is there on how long Guadalupe will be behind bars, but for this 10-year-old’s sake I hope it is for life.

Okay ladies and gentleman I want to know how many of you had someone in the delivery room when you were in labor that actually passed out? This is the one thing that I never had to go through, thank goodness.
Believe it or not men and women all over have experienced this, not just your average Joe either.

Gearing up for Mother’s Day? Well, Boston Market thinks that Mother’s Day shouldn’t be just a day, or even a weekend but a month-long celebration. Hey, can I really blame them? I totally love the idea of being pampered for an entire month. Don’t you?

Everyone has a different birth story, I’d love to hear your 1st birth story. You know we all read books and try preparing for that first birth. Sometimes the birth plan goes just like it is written, but sometimes it doesn’t, heck sometimes even the back-up plan doesn’t go so well.
For myself, I was in and out of the hospital for one reason or another. But when it came to giving birth to our first son, I’d almost give birth at home. Why? I didn’t really think I was in labor, I had false beliefs that my water would break in the middle of a store or in my bed and then I’d have horrible pains.
