If you’ve given some thought to a fetal doppler rental or purchase, but it seems like a frivolous investment to you, some further thought may be required! Yes, these devices are primarily praised simply for their ability to connect people emotionally to the growing little one. However, there are other advantages to having a fetal doppler around that are frequently overlooked. And to some extent, this is perfectly natural. No one wants to think about the possibility of bad things happening to a baby before it’s even born! Continue reading ‘Fetal Doppler Devices and Their Medical Benefits’ »

A condom is actually an extremely strong little thing. It can be pulled over your head without breaking or filled with water and thrown as a make shift water bomb, however something as small as a pin prick can spell disaster for the little potential life saver!
Keeping condoms in good condition is paramount. One tiny hole or tear is likely to completely destroy their effectiveness and you could end up with a pregnancy or Sexually Transmitted Infection on your hands as a result.
The morning after pill is a form of emergency contraception. Emergency contraception is contraception that is taken after sex, rather than prior to it.

One of the most popular birth control devices is the condom. This collects the man’s sperm before, during and after he ejaculates. The condom prevents the sperm from entering the woman’s vagina. They are made of either latex or silicon, lubricated or dry. This is also one of the main protections against sexually transmitted diseases.

If used in combination with an ovulation calendar the risks are reduced much more significantly.
