Thanks for the answers in advance

In addition to its central role in reproduction, various scientific findings indicate that semen has certain beneficial effects on human health, both proven benefits and possible benefits:

Antidepressant: One study suggested that vaginal absorption of semen could act as an antidepressant in women; the study compared two groups of women, one of which used condoms and the other did not.[4]
Cancer prevention: Studies suggest that seminal plasma both prevents and fights cancer, particularly breast cancer,[5] reducing risk by “not less than 50 percent.”[6][7] This effect is attributed to its glycoprotein and selenium content, with apoptosis being induced by TGF-Beta. A related urban legend parodied these findings and claimed that performing fellatio at least three times a week reduced the risk of breast cancer.[8]

Semen has been proven to act as a strong antidepressant in women so that women physically exposed to semen are less likely to suffer from depression. It is thought that the psychological effects of semen are a result of its complex chemical make-up including several mood-altering hormones (testosterone, oestrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin and several different prostaglandins). In a scientific survey of 293 college women it was also found that those who did not use condoms were most likely to initiate sex and to seek out new partners as soon as a relationship ended, suggesting that the chemical dependency to semen creates a “rebound effect”. The effect of semen on a male sexual partner (a receiver of semen) is not known.[14][15][16]

Preeclampsia prevention: It has been hypothesized that substances in semen condition a mother’s immune system to accept the “foreign” proteins found in sperm as well as the resulting fetus and placenta, keeping blood pressure low and thereby reducing the risk of preeclampsia. Regular exposure to the baby’s father’s semen, especially orally, may help make a woman’s pregnancy safer and more successful, because she is absorbing her partner’s antigens.[9]

However, he said she told him she had been diagnosed with postpartum depression and was going to be admitted to a hospital for treatment.

Sanchez’s relatives told The San Antonio Express News that she had been diagnosed with postpartum psychosis, which can cause delusional thoughts and hallucinations.

Sanchez, 33, is charged with capital murder in the baby’s death and could face the death penalty. When authorities found the infant’s body Sunday, Sanchez told officers the devil made her do it, police said.

“She killed my son. She should burn in hell,” Buchholz said.

Otty Sanchez’s aunt, Gloria Sanchez, told The Associated Press that her niece had been “in and out” of a psychiatric ward, and that the hospital called several months ago to check up on her.

Sanchez was hospitalized Tuesday with self-inflicted stab wounds and was being held on $1 million bail. Police have said she does not have an attorney. Authorities found the baby with three of his toes chewed off, his face torn away and his head was severed.

Otty Sanchez’s sister and her sister’s two children, ages 5 and 7, were in the house at the time, but none were harmed.

Sanchez and Buchholz lived together during the pregnancy and the first two weeks after their son was born, he said. An infection complicated Sanchez’s recovery from giving birth, and she was required to use a catheter for about a week. That setback darkened her mood, and she was soon diagnosed with postpartum depression.

She moved out of the couple’s shared home July 20. On Saturday, she showed up to see Buchholz at his parents’ house. She became agitated when he told her he needed a copy of the baby’s birth certificate and Social Security card, Buchholz said.

Sanchez ran out of the home with her son in a car seat, threw the car seat into the front passenger seat of her car and sped away without buckling him in, the San Antonio Express-News reported. She left behind a diaper bag, her purse and her medication.

Buchholz’s mother called 911, and a sheriff’s deputy investigated the incident as a disturbance, according to court records. The next day, authorities said, she killed her son.

Officers called to Sanchez’s house at about 5 a.m. Sunday found her sitting on the couch screaming “I killed my baby! I killed my baby!” San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said.

McManus described the crime scene as so grisly that police officers barely spoke to each other while looking through the house.

I am not trying to get pregnant (*I didn’t know where else to post this*)… My gyno has said I am at a high risk for miscarriage (and in the summer I went through one, not sure if it was the antibiotics I was on, or the mess up of skipping pills while I was terribly sick and vomited everything back up — including my non-dissolved pills and water), as well as pregnancy complications.

I cannot help but continue wanting it though. Is this normal? Is this normal for my age (since every girl I know already is)? Would anyone know what is the core for this reason?? This “clock” is ticking way too early…. and I KNOW it would be a terrible idea, with the lack of good money and insurance, as well as health problems I would face.. as well as mental issues like anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder (not on any meds for that, I got sick of the side effects and basically being played around on them).

I also feel angry that all the “party girls” I know are getting pregnant and having babies.. It makes me wonder WHY they can have a child so easy, but people like me out there would have to go through so much to actually get pregnant, and more, to give birth (or c-section since that was most advised for me).

This may seem like more of a public rant than a question, but I really just want to know that I am not alone.. I will not stop taking my pills, but every 3 months (I am on Seasonique) I have this god awful “I MUST GET PREGNANT NOW” feeling before I start my scheduled bleeding….. I also feel very distressed and depressed during my period… but I also suffer from dysmenorrhea.. so my mood could be effected by the extreme pain I’m in during this time as well.

Someone please tell me its normal, and that I’m not alone (nor crazy, lol). I take my pills religiously, but my husband is getting kind of worried with all the baby talk coming out of me (his job doesn’t pay much better than mine)… I know 14 currently pregnant women right now, 4 are friends (which also means a lot of buying baby items)… these women don’t include the women I’m friends with that have already given birth! I just wonder when, or if, our time will come… and how to just “ignore” this motherly craving until then.
My husband & I do have adoption as an option Right now I adopt and re-home stray animals, so I completely understand it. His nearly 3 year old sister is adopted as well. We at least want 1 that is our genetics, and adopt any others sometime in our future.

Sugar
Sugar is very high on the glycemic index. It’s digested quickly and provides calories but has very little nutritional value. There are different kinds of sugar and some are worse than others. Fruit sugar, fructose, is less harmful than refined sugar. People have evolved to like the taste of sugar because the sweetest fruits are often the ones that have the most nutrients.

The average BMI in North America is 27.1, which is overweight. Sugar is clinically proven to cause obesity, which causes heart attacks. Sugar can cause a variety of medical conditions including alcoholism, Multiple sclerosis and ovarian cancer. Sugar also causes skin to age faster. Too much sugar can affect your brain and make it harder for you to learn. It can also cause depression, emotional instability and epilepsy. Sugar is in almost everything we eat, even places where we don’t expect it. Sugar also causes dental carries, because the bacteria in your mouth eat it and produce acid as a by-product when they digest it.

Most people consume more that their body weight in sugar every year. For the first time in history, there are more obese people in the world that starving people

Sugar is very harmful to pregnant women and the fetuses. It can be as harmful as caffeine or alcohol, but because there is less social pressure for women to stop eating sugar during pregnancy, they are lass likely to stop. There is also less information available to pregnant mothers about the effects of sugar. Although women are supposed o gain weight during pregnancy, the weight is not supposed to be from having extra fat. It can also cause the baby to be born already overweight.

The most disturbing part about sugar, however, is its long history of being grown by slaves. About 85% of the sugar we eat today is grown by slaves. Most of the modern slaves are dept, slaves, but they only get paid $2.00 for picking a tonne of sugar, and they owe huge amounts of money to the company store. Because most sugar slaves today are dept slaves, sugar plantation owners today don’t even acknowledge that they are using slave labour to grow their crops.

In the 1700 hundreds, Thomas Clarkson was the first person to fight for the abolition of slavery. Most of the slaves at that time were also used to grow sugar. He faced a lot of controversy and, when he tried to prosecute slave owners for murder, the owners of sugar plantations actually devised a plan to have him assassinated. Luckily, he escaped.

The persecution of those who try to fight against sugar and sugar slavery, however, has not stopped. In the 1970s, many people who tried to spread information about the negative effects of sugar lost their jobs. Sugar manufacturers still claim that the evidence against sugar is not proven. They will not admit that sugar does damage to people.

This Isn’t What I Expected: Overcoming Postpartum Depression

I can’t go through this with another pregnancy and I just need some advice. I know that they offer SSRI’s for pregnant women and I’ve heard they are safe. I need input from anyone who has been in this situation and prevailed or anyone who was on SSRI’s during their pregnancy and found no harmful side affects on their babies.

Thank you..

Healthy parents raise emotionally healthy babies and a mother’s influence towards the same is great. No body can deny it. Hence it is imperative that females should have good mental health. The reality is, about 20 to 25 percent of women suffers with depression in their life time against 7 to 12 percent of men. This shows that women are very much prone to depressed than men. Depression strikes older women more often than men

In addition to environmental stressors and psychosocial factors, women are also influenced by biological factors to get depressed. That is why women are much prone to getting depressed than men

Reproductive systems like menstrual cycle, pregnancy, post pregnancy, hormonal genetic systems, infertility, decision of not having children, menopause are the leading factors for getting depression for women as far as biological factors are concerned.

Also other factors like Psychological which are clusters of certain personality traits, physical or sexual abuse and inadequate ways of coping problems leads to depression in women. They also have difficulties, coping with the demands of adjustment in newly married lives. In any family women’s initiative in taking care of old parents and upbringing the children are crucial. In addition to that if a mom goes for work, then she has a great responsibility of managing both the work and family. This keeps her running all the time. If women is housewife or becomes old, then she gets a lonely feeling after the children goes for school or job and husband to work. She will start thinking that the busy husband and children are not hearing and understanding her feelings. And if there is no intimate relationship with the husband the problem will be still worse. It will be so severe in case of divorce.

Women face depression due to hormonal changes after giving birth to child. These hormones have an effect on the brain chemistry that controls emotions and mood.

1) Baby blues – It happens in the day’s right after childbirth. The mother’s mood will swing. One time she will be very happy and immediately she will become sad. They feel irritable, impatient, anxious and restless. This will be only for one to two weeks after delivery and do not require any medication .During this period the new mother should socialize with other new mothers. This will help them to become normal.

2) Postpartum depression (PPD) – It can happen immediately after giving birth or even months after child birth. This is strong and effective than baby blue and persists as long as one year. On seriousness it requires medication. This type of depression can happen after the birth of any child and not confined only to the first child.

3) Postpartum psychosis-It happens to new mother within three months after giving birth. This is serious and severe. The mother will go out of reality. The symptoms are insomnia and angry and they need treatment

Researchers indicate that 74.4% women are not depressed either antenatally or postnatally and 4.8% women are depressed on at least one of two occasions’ .But 1.4% women persistently depressed on both occasions.

During menstrual cycle, in some women there will be recurrent brief depression which will be very brief. Some women experience behavioral and physical changes during the phases of their menstrual cycle. In some women the changes begin after ovulation till menstruation starts. It is called Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) – If the same thing is very severe and occurs regularly with other emotional physical changes including irritability and depression then it is called premenstrual dysphonic disorder (PMDD) which requires medication.

In old age during the transition into menopause, some women experience an increased risk for depression. These problems are not for men. Hence women have double the chance of getting depressed than men.

Depression in women is very serious and as a chain reaction it affects the family. Even stress during pregnancy can increase the chance of child getting depressed when becoming an adult. Hence women should be careful and should be aware of depression on how to avoid it. During pregnancy men should take care of their partner and ensure their partner is happy.

The first thing is, all men should understand the biological factors of women which also lead to depression in them. Having understood about that, men should handle the feelings of women in women’s perspective. They should understand the responsibilities of women at workplace and in family. They should be supportive to women. Seventy five percent of the problem will get solved by this.

A woman cannot avoid the biological factors and family responsibility. But what is in her control is her approach towards the issues and how she manages it. Usually women who are very much pessimistic thinkers and having low self esteem are prone to depression.

Education which brings financial freedom for women plays an important role in improving self esteem. They should have good reasoning power and logical approach in dealing with the issues.

Women should be social, they should not be isolated. Having a good network of friends will help them to share the issues and get genuine inputs and solutions to solve problems; this certainly helps in the event of not able to solve the problems of their own. They should not be shy of sharing their problem with others. Women do not assume that others will think that they are worthless if they seek others help. In fact so many people will be glad to help.

For women–Avoid stress, have good eating habits. Think great of you. Always try to be happy. SMILE. Have good sleep. Importantly, plan your finances. Done, you won’t be affected by depression.
