SAN ANTONIO-Breaking the cycle of teenage pregnancy has been a challenge the City of San Antonio has faced for years. Joann Galvan a teenage mom talked about her life as a pregnant teenager. She was 17 years old when her mom found out she was pregnant. Joann says, I did not have the courage to tell her I was pregnant she figured it out on her own.

20 years later Joann's talking about the challenges she faced saying she was determined to make sure her daughter would one day graduate from high school without getting pregnant. It was a goal she and her mom were unable to do, "we never really talked about who's fault it was I would say because I was allowed a lot of freedom that I made those choices".

Metro Health Mario Martinez is the Program Manager for Project Worth a city program that encourages teens to put off having sex and having babies too early. Martinez says communicating with your child is key and having the sex talk with them more than once will help them make better choices. Martinez adds, " its an ongoing conversation that should start at a very young age".

To help parents Project Worth has put together a free book, its called "Talking to your children about Sex" its available in both English and Spanish.

Joann believes her talks with her daughter made all the difference she broke the cycle. Her daughter is now 20 years old and attends A&M.

Headaches During Pregnancy..

Being pregnant results in a lot of discomfort for women and it can become even more uncomfortable when there is a headache that accompanies the pregnancy. Many women have the misfortune of having headaches during pregnancy, so they need to find out exactly how the two are connected and how they can get rid of the headache naturally.

Because there are hormonal changes that women experience during pregnancy, headaches and other pains can typically result. Therefore, it can be deduced that headaches and pregnancy are connected due to hormonal imbalances during pregnancy.

Once there are drastic hormonal changes, the body reacts very differently to various stimuli, including things that would not normally cause headaches. Apart from the natural connection between headaches and pregnancy hormonal changes, other things can actually trigger a headache for a pregnant woman. These include muscle tension, hunger, poor posture while standing or sitting, stress, fatigue and even congestion.

What is important is finding ways to treat the headache so you can get good relief during pregnancy. Here are some of the most common and safest ways to treat your headache during pregnancy.

Cold Compress -- This is an effective treatment for people regardless of whether or not they are pregnant. This would just involve doing a cold compress to the back of the neck. By dampening a towel and putting it in the freezer, it can be used on the back of the neck to instantly help ease the tension that could be causing your headaches.

Warm Compress -- An alternative to a cold compress is applying a warm compress to the face, eyes and temple. Often times when congestion is the cause of headaches for pregnant women, a warm compress can help to get rid of the pain quickly.

Exercise -- Often times, muscle tension triggers headaches for pregnant women. By starting a low impact exercise program, you can help to relax the muscles and yourself in the process, hence helping your pregnancy headache to go away.
