New Research: Waiting A Year Between Pregnancies Can Lower Your Health Risk

Moms, this is an important read. Women and their babies face health risks when there’s less than 12 months between the birth of one child and the conception of the next, according to a new study. The researchers found a modest increase in risk of death or serious illness in the mother in intervals of less than 12 months and larger increases in the risk of adverse outcomes for the baby both before and after birth, as well as spontaneous preterm delivery. Guidelines from the World Health Organization suggest that women wait at least two years before becoming pregnant again. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggests that women should be advised to avoid interpregnancy periods of less than six months and “should be counseled on the risks and benefits of repeat...

U.S. Navy Man Learns That His Wife Has Kept An Important Detail From Him During Deployment

Though the global telecoms of today have made communication possible from nearly anywhere, there are still those–such as the men and women of our military–whose ability to interact with friends and loved ones is hampered by their duty. While this distance can often strengthen and solidify relationships, it can also destroy them.

As his wife labored—derriere in the air—and howled in pain, he made sure to record the entire thing while still driving the family’s ...
