Here are a few single motherhood related links from this week in the news.
On Single Moms -- The Increase in Single Motherhood: (Jezebel.com)
"For the first time in American history, more than half of new mothers under the age of 30 are unmarried"./.."In the rush to pass judgment on these unwed mothers, one question is
almost never asked: how many of these young single moms would actually like to be married?." -Jezebel.com
Book Release: Promises I Can Keep: Why Poor Women are putting Motherhood Before Marriage
"Promises I Can Keep offers an intimate look at what marriage and
motherhood mean to these women and provides the most extensive
on-the-ground study to date of why they put children before marriage
despite the daunting challenges they know lie ahead." Available in Ebook format as well.
Tranferring a single prescreened chromosomally normal embryo with aSET (Single Embryo Transfer) has been proving to provide the same success rates as transferring two non-screened embryos in IVF (acog.org)
This trend could contribute to fewer preterm births and less mulitple births from IVF
Push Presents: the newest "thing" for new moms. (Jezabel.com)
....Because labor in itself seems to be another post-present occasion. I can't believe this one, guys... A present for going through labor, as well as a baby shower, and a gift registry. Interesting new etiquette concept.
