Family Name or Top Ten?


Looking for a baby name? You might check a site I saw featured in Pregnancy Magazine called Ancenstry.com. You can enter your name and as much info as you know about your parents or grandparents and it searches all kinds of archives to continue compiling your family tree. You might end up finding the perfect family name for your baby! I tried it and thought it was pretty awesome, but after a few searches it does ask you to sign up for a 14 day trial in which they market a years subscription to you. The top 10 names for 2008 were posted recently in which Emily finally fell to third place after being the #1 baby name for a girl for 12 years. The new number one, (drumroll please), Emma! Not surprising I guess, I have heard the name Emma quite a bit lately. Isabell ranked second and Madison came in fourth. The top three for boys were Jacob, Michael, and Ethan.

How long until I can try again?


It use to be that you shouldn't try to get pregnant for at least three months after a miscarriage, but obstetricians now say that a woman only needs to wait until she has had one normal menstrual period. Some women get pregnant quickly after a miscarriage and newer studies prove this does not lead to a higher incidence of another miscarriage. By waiting until at least one mentstrual period, your obstetrician can determine when the baby was conceived more accurately. Your blood tests and other tests will be more precise this way. If you've had more than one miscarriage or are undergoing a medical evaluation or treatment, you'll need to consult your physician as to when it is safe to begin trying again.
