Maternity Units Refuse to Tell Parents the Sex of Unborn Babies
THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: NHS maternity units are refusing to tell expectant parents the gender of their unborn baby, an investigation has found.

The hospitals say they are too short-staffed to establish the sex of the foetus during ante-natal screening.

But some medical groups believe the NHS policies are being driven by fears that females could be selectively aborted among cultures which value boys more highly.

There is also concern that it is driven by people threatening to sue over being told the wrong gender of child.

The Council of Europe is due to consider a draft resolution in October which recommends that all its 47 member states - including Britain - instruct hospitals to "withold [sic] information about the sex of the foetus" from parents.

The move is a bid to prevent the practice of selective abortion, which they say has reached worrying proportions in some former Soviet states.

The plans have triggered alarm in this country, where pregnant women who want to know if they are due a boy or a girl expect to find out, usually during 20 week scans to check for abnormalities, and sometimes at 12 weeks.

Now, a survey of maternity units in England discloses that several are already refusing to share the information. » | Laura Donnelly and Will Taylor | Sunday, September 25, 2011

Chabadabada… A Deauville on connaît bien la chanson d’Un Homme, Une femme, cette belle histoire d’amour de Claude Lelouch. Désormais c’est l’histoire d’une douce maternité qui s’écrit. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, l’épouse du Président de la République, a suivi son mari pour le G8, et leur(s) futur(s) enfant(s) aussi.

Pregnant Women Fasting for Ramadan Risk Damage to Their Babies
NEW ZEALAND HERALD: Pregnant Muslim women who fast during Ramadan are likely to have smaller babies who will be more prone to learning disabilities in adulthood, according to new research.

Scientists in the United States also found that the women were 10 per cent less likely to give birth to a boy if they had fasted during Ramadan.

But scientists have found that eating a plate of bacon and eggs could help pregnant women boost the intelligence of their unborn child.

Women are usually given a list of foods to avoid during pregnancy and it is well documented that a pregnant woman's diet can affect her unborn baby.
