A news report in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology found that half of all pregnant women at some point in their pregnancy would suffer from constipation. Dr. Catherine S. Bradley, lead author of the study, and her colleagues followed 103 healthy women at the start of their pregnancies and found that 24 percent of the women experienced constipation during their first trimester. Whereas, 26 percent had constipation during their second trimester, and 16 percent of the women suffered from it in their third trimester. Also, 24 percent of the women experienced constipation three months after giving birth.
Should teens be taught contraception or just ways to abstain from sex? Advocates of both sex education and abstinence programs are continuously debating about what teens should be taught, after the government this month published that teen birthrates rose by 3 percent last year following a 14-year drop. Some health experts attribute this rise in teen pregnancies to the abstinence programs that fail to teach teens about contraceptive methods. Marilyn Keefe, director of reproductive health and rights at the nonprofit National Partnership for Women and Families said that abstinence programs are ideology driven and not a good way to spend public-health money. Because teens aren't taught other ways to prevent pregnancies.
