| Kourtney Kardashian Talks Pregnancy, Confirms Dad Is Scott Disick - Access Hollywood Posted: 22 Sep 2009 05:58 PM PDT LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Kourtney Kardashian has confirmed the father of the baby she is expecting in December is her on-again boyfriend, Scott Disick. Kourtney, the eldest of the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" sisters, confirmed the news to Ryan Seacrest on his "On-Air With Ryan Seacrest" radio show on Thursday morning. She said she reconnected with her ex while she was in Miami filming her new reality show for E!, "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami." "We went to Miami to have this crazy single sister time… and then this all went down," Kourtney, 30, told Ryan. "Scott came to town and we had some time together and it was just so crazy." While Kourtney previously told E! fans would have to watch the show to see if she and Scott got back together, she hinted the two are back on. "He was actually excited," Kourtney said about Scott's reaction to the pregnancy news, noting he mentioned marriage. "I think he has moments where he's really scared, but he was way more excited than I was." Though Scott was enthusiastic, Kourtney said she was nervous — at least when it came time to tell her family. She had Khloe, 25, break the news. And after hearing it, Kourtney's stepfather, Bruce Jenner, told her and Scott to get serious. "Bruce was the most realistic. He was like, 'You guys are acting like you're getting a puppy dog. You're not. It changes your life.'" Kourtney recounted. When asked if sister Kim, 28, was jealous over her news, Kourtney said her younger sibling was enthusiastic, but cautious. "She was excited, but I think that she wanted to make sure I thought it through in the beginning – her and my mom… Khloe was so excited," Kourtney said. "[Kim] definitely thought it was going to be her [getting pregnant] first. Trust me." Kourtney revealed that she's experienced nausea throughout her pregnancy. But she's also grown and not just in belly size. "They're huge," she said of her breasts. "And they're like, so sore." Copyright 2009 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved.

| County teen pregnancy rates fall - Waterloo Cedar-Falls Courier Posted: 22 Sep 2009 01:26 PM PDT WATERLOO - For the first time, teen pregnancy rates in Black Hawk County have dropped below the state average. Health and social service professionals hail it as a breakthrough for a county that just 13 years ago had the highest rate in the state. But they cautioned that much work remains: Pregnancy rates remain much higher for minority teens. In addition, Black Hawk County now ranks No. 1 in Iowa in sexually transmitted disease rates among teenagers. "Because we've seen such wonderful results on such a complex issue such as teen birth rates, I know we can collaborate to lower teen STI (sexually transmitted infection) rates," said Joni Spencer, Together For Youth director. In 1996, 17.6 percent of teens in the county got pregnant. Fast forward to today, and that number has been cut in half to 8.5 percent. The decline has been almost entirely due to a decline among white teens. Black and Hispanic teen pregnancy rates remain at 18 and 23 percent, respectively. Spencer and others credit comprehensive community collaboration among more than a dozen organizations as a primary reason behind the overall decline. Jean Gallmeyer, Together For Youth health educator, spends her days teaching young people about sexual health. She often answers questions like the one she fielded recently at Expo High School. A girl asked if it was OK for her to not take birth control every day since she didn't get pregnant after doing so. "I wouldn't do that if I wanted to avoid pregnancy. You just got lucky," she said. Educators say thousands of small exchanges like this around the community - at hospitals, schools and YWCA - have chipped away at the county's teen pregnancy rate. "A lot of different folks said we need to address this issue. I think we have and it's working," said Arlene Prather-O'Kane, program manager of Black Hawk County Health Department's child and adolescent division. Prather-O'Kane said the rise of STIs among teens - a trend seen across the state - likely has something to do with shifting attitudes toward sexual behaviors. "I think there's some real interesting mindsets among teens. They don't think they're having sex and they really are," she said. To combat rising STI rates and disproportionately high minority teen births, Together For Youth has recently launched a number of new programs for black and Latina teens. Sisters Informing, Healing, Living and Empowering, called SiHLE, takes comprehensive approach to sexual health education for young black women, Spencer said. "It's a program where young girls learn about culture, self-esteem, empowerment and appreciate women who came before," she said.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Childbearing ups women's odds of developing metabolic syndrome - Newstrack India Posted: 22 Sep 2009 09:40 PM PDT
Washington, September 23 (ANI): A new study has shown that childbearing makes women prone to the metabolic syndrome-abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, insulin resistance and other cardiovascular disease risk factors-and that the risk is more than twice greater for those who have had gestational diabetes. Cora E.
Lewis, a professor of Preventive Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, used data collected in the CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study to determine the correlation between a higher incidence of the metabolic syndrome among women ages 18-30 at the start of the study, who bore at least one child during the 20-year period following. "Pregnancy can have lasting, adverse physiological effects and may result in behavioral changes. Some previous studies have shown an association between childbearing and the metabolic syndrome, and some have shown that a history of gestational diabetes is a strong predictor of Type 2 diabetes," she said. "However, these studies lacked the preconception measurements to establish a baseline with which to measure the changes brought on by pregnancy. Many have not had control groups of women who had not had pregnancies, and thus they have rarely provided conclusive evidence linking pregnancy-related risk factor changes to disease onset. CARDIA began following participants ages 18-30 years in 1985-1986 and continues today, and we had the necessary information to track women both before and after pregnancy and to compare women with pregnancies to those without," she added. Lewis and her colleagues have revealed that, of the 2,787 women in the CARDIA study, 1,451 were included in this study analysis. Of those, 706 had no births and 745 had at least one birth during the 20 years following. Of the 745, 88 had at least one birth complicated by gestational diabetes. The researchers controlled for preconception measurements of body mass index (BMI), all metabolic syndrome components and physical activity. They found that women who had given birth to one child or more than one child were independently associated with a higher incidence of the metabolic syndrome (33 percent and 62 percent higher, respectively) than those who had not had children. Among women with gestational diabetes, once baseline adjustments were made, the researchers found that they were nearly two-and-a-half times more likely to develop the metabolic syndrome than those women who had not had gestational diabetes-complicated pregnancies. "Our findings suggest that childbearing can contribute to the development of the metabolic syndrome and that part of the association may be through weight gain and lack of physical activity. And, although women with gestational diabetes had the highest relative risk of developing the metabolic syndrome, those with non-gestational diabetes pregnancies made up the larger at-risk group," Lewis said. Her team suggested that future studies might determine whether reductions in weight retention and central obesity, and reductions through treatment of cholesterol and triglycerides, after pregnancy may prevent disease later in life. They also said that postpartum screening of cardio-metabolic risk factors, especially among women with gestational diabetes, might offer an important opportunity for disease prevention among women of reproductive and older ages. Until then, Lewis said, the best way for everyone to prevent disease, including women of childbearing age, is to make the necessary lifestyle changes: exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet. A research article on the study has been published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. (ANI)  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
