Personalized Gifts: Perfect for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month by Diane Cullen Page

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time for all of us to reflect on the many thousands of children in this country who are taken much too soon every year. It's also a time to honor the families who are left behind to forever love a child they never knew, or knew much too briefly. If a tragedy such as miscarriage, stillbirth, or SIDS has at any time altered the life of a family you know personally, let the month of October remind you to reach out to them. If you fear words will fail you, one simple way of saying you care is through a gift of something handmade and personalized.

What type of personalized gift is appropriate? A tangible reminder of her child may comfort a mother in the wake of a miscarriage or a newborn loss. A sterling silver necklace, perhaps in the shape of a tear drop or a heart, hand-stamped with her child's name or a saying such as "Forever in My Heart" is likely to become a cherished piece of jewelry. To add even more significance to such a necklace, have it embellished with a swarovski crystal to commemorate the child's birth month or have the child's birth date hand-stamped on it. If you know a mother who might prefer to wear a more discreet reminder of her child, choose to have forget-me-not flowers embossed on a sterling silver circle. Or choose to have a sterling silver bracelet made just for her with rose quartz (the stone of love and emotional healing), blue lace agate (a stone of hope, cleansing and harmony) and a butterfly charm (long a symbol of the soul). The wearer will see her child in the bracelet; others will simply see a beautiful piece of jewelry.

Another touching gift for a bereaved mother is a handmade keepsake box that can be personalized on the inside with any text you choose, such as a baby's name, birth date, or a special message of hope. A keepsake box painted pink or blue and decorated with a heart and small flowers will be much more than a beautiful addition to a bureau for a grieving mother.

If you would rather give a gift that can be treasured by the entire grieving family, consider giving a hand-drawn portrait of the lost child. From a photograph you provide, an experienced artist can sketch a beautiful portrait in charcoal and pastel pencil. Personalized pottery is another appropriate gift option for a family. A hand-painted ceramic plate can be designed to your specifications. Choose to decorate it with a hand-drawn butterfly, angel, or tiny footprint and wrap around it a special hand-written message such as "Some people dream of angels. I held one in my arms" or "All our hopes and dreams now carried on butterfly wings." Add the child's name or birth date for a truly unique plate that will be cherished forever.

Reducing unplanned pregnancies through Medicaid family planning services

By Melissa Kearney and Phillip Levine, Brookings Institution

There is widespread consensus among the American public that rates of teen pregnancy and unintended pregnancies to young, unmarried women are too high. Approximately 30 percent of teenage girls in the United States become pregnant and 20 percent give birth by age 20. Increasingly, policy-makers and advocacy groups are recognizing that the high rate of unintended pregnancy among unmarried women in their twenties is also a major social issue.

This study describes a recent analysis of state policies that expanded eligibility for Medicaid family planning services to women who do not meet regular Medicaid eligibility criteria. The results of this research show that these expanded eligibility policies had a significant impact on reducing unplanned births.

The effect on birth rates was largest for women ages 18 to 24. Data on individual behavior confirm that this reduction in births was achieved through increased use of contraception among sexually active women. The authors estimate the policy cost of preventing an unwanted birth to be around $6,800. They conclude that this is a cost-effective policy intervention relative to other policies and programs targeted at reducing teen and unwanted births.

Symptoms of Infertility by Bruce Fields

Some of the Common Symptoms of Infertility

The symptoms of infertility are not always obvious, though most individuals tend to suspect that something isn't quite right when they show up to the doctor for testing. Some infertility is unavoidable. As we age, for example, our bodies become more likely to be infertile. Some symptoms of infertility can be symptoms of other conditions and, whether or not one is trying to conceive, they should have those symptoms investigated in the interest of maintaining good overall health. Men and women can both exhibit symptoms which may be red flags for a fertility problem.

In women, one of the most obvious symptoms of infertility is an irregular or absent menstrual cycle. There are various conditions that can cause a woman's menstrual cycle to be upset or absent and many of them are linked to infertility. Normally, a woman bleeds for 3 to 7 days. If bleeding is heavy or light, one should consult with their doctor. Excessive cramping and less or more days spent bleeding than normal can also be considered as reasons to visit a doctor to ensure that everything is in order. The menstrual cycle is one of the most valuable indicators of potential problems.

In men, sometimes symptoms of infertility aren't readily apparent. Obviously, impotence is a symptom that should be checked out by a doctor sooner rather than later. Impotence can be a symptom of other disorders, as well, and merits a doctor's visit. Men may have a reduced sperm count or issues with their sperm which are impossible to detect without visiting a clinic. These problems may or may not be treatable but, if trouble conceiving persists for a long period of time, the male partner should have their sperm checked out to make sure that all is well.

Age, though it seems obvious, is a major symptom of infertility. When women are in their early 30's, they have about a 20 percent chance of becoming pregnant during any menstrual cycle. When they reach the age of 40, that percentage drops to around 5 percent. The body is less likely to conceive successfully as we age. Women who do become pregnant at a later age need more medical attention than do younger women and the baby must be carefully monitored for health inside the womb. The older one is, the harder it becomes to have children.

Some of the other symptoms of infertility are other disorders. If one has illnesses which are chronic such as diabetes they may have a lower chance of conceiving. The same applies for hyperthyroidism. Individuals who have had STDs may also have a lower chance of conceiving and, when they do conceive, there may be a higher risk of certain birth defects. Smoking and drinking are also linked to lower rates of fertility. Generally, if one does not have such a condition but it seems impossible to conceive, medical intervention will be necessary to diagnose any potential problems and, hopefully, to alleviate them.

The Fields were one of millions of couples who have gone through the series of questions and possible causes for what seemed to be an inability to conceive. The journey they took is a very common one, and the success they had was also. Most people who start out with a fear that they are infertile can, with the proper knowledge and guidance, bear children and in this initial article is discussed some basic ideas on what infertility really is and how it may most commonly be approached.
