P renatal screening is an issue that has become more important over the past few years. Most elements of standard prenatal care are relatively straightforward and easy for patients to understand and accept, but screening and diagnostic testing for chromosomal abnormalities remain confusing, emotionally charged and fraught with uncertain risks. The most commonly used test for genetic diagnosis is amniocentesis, but the rate of spontaneous fetal loss related to amniocentesis averages about one in every 200 procedures. Because of this risk, serum analyte testing has become an important, noninvasive first step in detecting patients at risk for congenital abnormalities. Current maternal serum analyte screening helps identify women at risk for neural tube defects (NTDs), trisomy 21 and trisomy 18.

ABSTRACT Adolescent pregnancy, the disproportionate number of births to unmarried adolescents, the potential disadvantages for both mothers and their children, and the commensurate costs to society have received the attention of researchers in a variety of disciplines. This article reviews and synthesizes the disparate literature on psychosocial factors associated with adolescent pregnancy using Bronfenbrenner's ecological model. Social influences within the macrosystem, mesosystem, and microsystem are examined. Policy and service delivery recommendations are offered. Adapted from the physical sciences to explain human behavior, "Bronfenbrenner's (1979) ecological model of human development... conceptualizes ecological space as operating on different levels of systems, each of which is incorporated within the next" (Franklin, 1988, p. 340). At the most basic interactional level is the microsystem, which is the pattern of activities, roles, and interpersonal relations experienced by the individual in a given setting. The mesosystem involves interactions among settings. The next level, the exosystem, includes settings that affect the individual but with which the individual does not interact directly (exosystem variables are not covered here, since there are so many other variables that have a more direct impact on adolescents). The macrosystem includes the cultural variables that influence the individual.

    David Bainbridge
    Making Babies: The Science of Pregnancy
    Humans cannot be immortal because their genes would gradually deteriorate to a point where they could no longer function. Instead, we have sex and die so that our genes can live forever. (p. 32) What does a proud father do to propagate the joyous fact that he has a new daughter? Usually just beam with happiness, snap some photographs, and tell all his friends and family. David Bainbridge had another idea. He decided to reach a larger audience. So he wrote a book telling the story of her pre-life (and then some). We even get to see a picture. What good father can't resist such gloating? In an entertaining and clear style, Bainbridge writes about pregnancy and its aftermaths the way popular science works should be written. He also includes a bit on the history of the science of how we came to understand pregnancy, notably featuring the work, achievements, and errors of William Harvey and Ernst Haeckel. Perhaps most interesting is his emphasis on the immune system and how this results in the embryo/fetus and mother getting along, or not. There are so many fascinating topics covered in this book in addition to the ones mentioned above. Why, and how, did sexual reproduction evolve? What causes miscarriages? How do twins come into being?

    15 FEBURARY 2002 L adies and gentlemen, I would like to draw your attention to the center ring. High above the ground, a graduate student attempts a nearly impossible feat. He will walk across the tightrope suspended 100 feet in the air without a safety netwhile balancing a part-time job, full-time graduate studies, a wife, and two small children. Quiet please, and the drum roll... "Honey, guess what? No, my family is not coming for a visit. No, your family is not coming to visit. No, all the bills are paid (mostly). I'm pregnant!" (The next 5 seconds are very important. The husband's response could spark a celebration or start a firefight.) "Fantastic, what a great surprise" ... Not. To the surprise of many people, we planned our pregnancy. However, the initial decision was a difficult one. Before I started graduate school, we planned to have a baby once I passed my qualifying exams at the end of my second year. But we postponed starting a family, because my research project was in its early stages and it required my full attention. Three years later, the project did a very good imitation of the Titanic, and I had to start over with a totally new experimental system. During the transition between research projects, I reassessed my personal values and asked myself what things are really important to me. Despite my previous behavior in which my life revolved around the laboratory, I now realized that family was also very important to me. And perhaps this was the worst time to consider starting a family, due to my graduate research responsiblities.

    http://www.abc.net.au/science/slab/thepill/default.htm
    It's been just over forty years since the 'Pill' became available in Australia. Its introduction gave birth to a revolution, loosening the bonds between sex and procreation and giving woman unprecedented sexual freedom and reproductive control. However, the potential side effects of the Pill have never been far from controversy. Rita Feldmann takes a look at what we know about this revolutionary drug. Offering a method of birth control of unprecedented reliability, the Pill's introduction in 1961 gave birth to a worldwide anti-spawning revolution. The new contraceptive offered women greater control over their fertility and in several countries, was timed with a societal shift that saw greater sexual freedom for women. In the wider picture, the world suddenly had a potential tool for tackling the problem of unrestrained population growth. Since 1961 over 200 million women throughout the world have used the Pill. In the early days A lot of women simply gave up having sex at all because they didn't want another child, and particularly if they'd had a baby late in their 30s, or they'd had an abortion, they would simply turn off . . . In lots of families the husband slept on the back verandah . . . they just didn't want to run the risk of another pregnancy

    Nancy Recker
    A growing number of women across America are having their first babies at age 40 or even older. Overall, first births among women over 30 rose to a record 22% of all births in 1995, as opposed to 5% of births in 1975. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the birth rate for women aged 40-45 years rose 20% between 1990 and 1995, and increased 74% during 1981-95. The rising birth rate along with the increasing number of women in this age group means that there were more babies born in 1995 to mothers in their 40s than in any year since 1966.
    Why Wait?
    What explains this pattern of delayed childbearing? According to a study by Susan Coady, Human Development and Family Science faculty member at The Ohio State University, there are several reasons for waiting to start a family. Women who wait usually have more financial security, more emotional maturity, and more time to commit to their marriages and to their careers before focusing their energy on children. It isn't so much that people aren't interested in having children, but they are just busy with their lives. Many couples have waited until they've established careers, bought a house and fixed it up, and then realized that it's getting late and they're running out of time.

    Unintended Pregnancy
    An unintended pregnancy is a pregnancy that is either mistimed or unwanted at the time of conception. It is a core concept in understanding the fertility of populations and the unmet need for contraception. Unintended pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of morbidity for women, and with health behaviors during pregnancy that are associated with adverse effects. For example, women with an unintended pregnancy may delay prenatal care, which may affect the health of the infant. Women of all ages may have unintended pregnancies, but some groups, such as teens, are at a higher risk. In 1994, approximately one-half of pregnancies in the United States were unintended (Henshaw 1998, Family Planning Perspectives), and the United States has set a national goal of decreasing unintended pregnancies to 30% by 2010.
