May. 16th, 2006 07:53 pmEven the WaPo is labelling this one "Forever Pregnant":
New federal guidelines ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves -- and to be treated by the health care system -- as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon.And if you're wondering why I've got the "religion" tag on this one... you simply don't get it, do you?
Among other things, this means all women between first menstrual period and menopause should take folic acid supplements, refrain from smoking, maintain a healthy weight and keep chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes under control.
