| Ectopic Pregnancy - A Complication Of Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy is a complication of pregnancy in which the fertilized ovum is implanted in any tissue other than the uterine wall.
Ectopic pregnancy, also known as a tubal pregnancy, is a potentially life-threatening form of pregnancy in which implantation of the fertilized egg occurs outside the uterus.
An ectopic pregnancy can happen to any sexually active woman, but certain women are more at risk than others. Your odds of having an ectopic pregnancy are higher if:
• You get pregnant despite having had a tubal ligation (surgical sterilization).
• You've had surgery on your fallopian tubes to correct a problem or to reverse a tubal ligation. (Your risk is also higher, though to a much smaller degree, if you've had other pelvic or abdominal surgery, such as the removal of an ovarian cyst or fibroids, an appendectomy, or a cesarean section.)
• You had a previous ectopic pregnancy.
• Your mother took the drug DES while pregnant with you.
• You have an intrauterine device (IUD) in place when you get pregnant. Although IUDs are close to 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy, if you do get pregnant while using one, it's more likely that the pregnancy will be ectopic. An IUD doesn't cause an ectopic pregnancy, it's just better at preventing an egg from implanting in your uterus than outside it. (Having used an IUD in the past won't raise your risk for ectopic pregnancy.)

Take the African AIDS epidemic. As CWA reported a few years back, Dr. Margaret Angola of Kenya testified at two United Nations conferences that, ��family planners� have put so many condoms into Kenya that the children use them as balloons and play with them in the streets.� Tragically, we all know how �comprehensive sex education� has worked-out in Africa. Unfortunately, it�s no better right here at home. Despite a culture that relentlessly extols the phantom virtues of so-called �safe sex� and practically throws condoms at children by the handful, STD and teen pregnancy rates remain high. Like a broken record, liberal educators and cultural elites incessantly regurgitate, �always have safe sex,� while the only thing impressionable, hormone charged kids hear is, �have sex!� Of course, �safe sex� is code for �use a condom,� and everyone knows that condoms are anything but reliable.

After months (and years) of curtailing pregnancy rumors, Nicole Kidman is finally pregnant. The actress� publicist confirmed Monday night that Nicole and her husband, country singer Keith Urban, are expecting their first child. The couple have recently been very open about their desire to have children. Last fall, Nicole told Vanity Fair that she�s �yearning for one,� while also revealing to the magazine that she suffered a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy during her marriage to Tom Cruise (they later adopted two children Isabella, 15, and Connor, 12). Janelle Kidman, Nic�s mother, told the Sydney Morning Herald that her daughter is expecting around the month of July. It�s likely that the actress� famous frozen face will finally start to see some movement soon since you shouldn�t get botox while you�re pregnant.
