Q. I am looking to subscribe to a free pregnancy magazine. I would love for it to be one that has great coupons in it.
Also, I would be willing to subscribe to one that costs (as long as it isn't too much) as long as it has great deals in it and coupons and great articles.
Thanks.

A. You usually have to sign up with he companies for the coupons. The magazine that I know about is American Baby (it has some articles about pregnancy) and it's pretty good.
What is your opinion on the sex education in American schools?
Q. The US (I've read) has the highest teen pregnancy rate. Do you think our sex ed program is to blame? If not, what?
A. To the first Poster, what a silly thing to say, but you are entitled to your opinion. First of all sexual education should be taught in schools and by parents. Now before every jump on to the bang wagon of who should do what let me say this the reason why teen pregnancy rate is high is because teenagers are not getting the correct information ranging from the basic health care to the more serious topics such as birth control, or condom use etc. Now I can discuss this till I'm blue in the face. Just take five minutes and look at all the questions being asked here on yahoo answers and any adult such as my self will see that young men and women are asking the same basic questions over and over again. Simple information that they should know but they do not because A. some not all are too embarrassed to ask their mother or father B. certain topics are just glazed over which leaves teenagers to question is this normal or not. and C. Due to some religious views some schools and parents do not feel comfortable discussing certain topics with teenagers. There fore that teen will turn around and ask there friends for advice which in turn that friend may not give them the correct answer.
Basically what I'm trying to say that, it is the lack of information and miscommunication between adults and teenagers that is given out. Think of it as this way for example if I say Johnny q has this... but don't do that you are telling the person two different things at the same time. So in tune that teenager will think huh?? I do not understand.
Now I really do not know what the standards are for sexual education in other countries such as Europe or Canada, but here in the US, personally I feel that you cannot have an abstinence only program and by pass the simple basics of sexual health because frankly abstinence does not work. Teenagers will do whatever they feel regardless of sexual education. It is up to the school and parents to be sensitive but firm in what topics should be discussed and how it is perceived by teenagers. When I was young girl for sexual education, my school had all the boys and girls together in one class to talk about the basics such as parts of the body etc. Then what they did is separate the girls in one room boys in another and discussed topics that were age appropriate at that time. Now when I entered high school the same topics where discussed but, the curriculum included more topics such as condom use, STD's, emotional well being etc, things that where age appropriate for a high school student.
If the school system can meet in the middle and come up with a way that will be beneficial for both parents and schools then maybe just maybe teen pregnancy will decline. It is not necessary true that all teen girls will become pregnant, honestly everyone makes mistakes and things happen but if the schools system and parents give teenagers the proper information then teenagers will make the right decisions on having sex.

My hubby is very pure (or as close to pure as you can get these days) native american from the klamath falls tribe in Oregon.
Well, I'm pregnant and I'm so very curious into what this baby might look like.

A. Generally, the baby will have a skin color somewhere between yours and your hubby. At least, that has been the experience of my NA friends (Ojibwe and Navajo). As to other features, no different from any other couple. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Can stretch marks be prevented during pregnancy?
Q. Hi,
i am about 10 weeks pregnant, and i have heard so many different stories about stretch marks during pregnancy. some people say it is all based on genetics(if your mother had them, then you will too) but others say the can be prevented with certain types of belly cream or lotion. i really reallly want to avoid them if at all possible. can anyone tell me what they know about preventing stretch marks and if it is possible. and also if anybody who answers this has been through pregnancy wihtout getting them could you please include the lotion you used during pregnancy.
thanks.

A. Stretch marks reflect the separation of collagen of the skin. While not painful, the stretching of the skin may cause a tingling or itchy sensation. A good lotion can help with the increased dryness or itchiness of the skin, but will not prevent stretch marks no matter how diligent you are or how much you spend on the cream.
While many people will swear by certain creams or lotions, the truth is there is not much you can do about stretch marks, you'll either get them or you won't. There are some factors that you should know contribute to stretch marks:
Family (If your mom or sister has them, guess what?)
If you had them in a previous pregnancy you may get them again, although usually just a darkened (temporarily) of the old ones and a light extension sometimes.
Weight Gain (Rapid or excessive will make this worse.)
Nutritional Status (Well hydrated and healthy skin stretches better.)
Ethnicity (African American women get them less.)
On a positive note, my mom has a TON, and I got none.
