| The minipill (progestogen-only Pill, or POP)
If you enjoy a good sex life, you almost certainly want to protect yourself against unwanted pregnancy. The minipill can do that for you. But you have to remember to take it every single day of the year. No breaks at all - even when you're on your period. It's not quite as effective as the ordinary Pill, but it's a good deal freer of side effects. And it's particularly useful for some groups of women who cannot take the Pill - for instance, new mums who are breast-feeding. However, it does have some disadvantages, and we'll tell you about them in a moment. What is the minipill? There's a lot of confusion about this name. Many women don't understand it - and, regrettably, even a few doctors have got the wrong end of the stick about it! The minipill is not just a low-dose version of the Pill.

Nicole Kidman Is Pregnant
For Kidman, 40, this will be her third child. She and her former husband, Tom Cruise adopted two children during their marriage: Isabella, now 15, and Connor, 12. As for where Kidman and Urban, 40, who will be a first-time parent, may bring up their impending arrival, the couple, though both from Down Under, purchased a farm near Leipers Fork, Tenn., a half-hour southwest of Nashville, in 2007. The couple, who have been married 18 months, wed, after a yearlong courtship, on June 25, 2006, in a candlelit ceremony at Sydney, Australia's Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick's Estate at Manly. Guests at the black-tie event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch. Before the couple even started dating, Kidman made her desire for more children clear. In April 2005, she told reporters that her biological clock was ticking.
