| Burke promotes abstinence
Many STDs can cause serious health problems, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy and increased risk of HIV. Johanna Nestor, director of the Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs at DHHS, said President Bush initiated the "Parents Speak Up" campaign in his state-of-the-union speech in 2004, urging parents to talk to their children about waiting to have sex. "The message is to get parents to talk to their children early and often about waiting to have sex," Nestor said. In recent decades, a national political and philosophical battle has raged over whether children should be told to wait to have sex until marriage, or instructed to use condoms to prevent STDs. Republicans have long called for abstinence education, primarily based on moral reasons.

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.
Ectopic pregnancies - pregnancy-related deaths
"Ampulla" are the nodes inside the fallopian tube that push the embryo down into the uterus. You CAN NOT cause yourself to have an ectopic pregnancy. However, if possible, avoid the risks factors before you get pregnant-you may be able to significantly decrease your chances of having an ectopic pregnancy.
However, an ectopic pregnancy is not always the result of an obvious defect. It can be a "fluke"--many women who are diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy do not have a recognizable risk factor or diagnosis. Pray that this is true in your case, but please take all cautionary measure available before attempting to conceive again.
Ectopic pregnancies are the second leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in the first trimester and account for 9% of all pregnancy-related deaths in this America.
If left untreated, an ectopic pregnancy may be potentially life-threatening, as there is a chance of the tube bursting, resulting in serious internal bleeding.
