Surrogacy - A Fertility Treatment Option
Advancement in science is providing help to many individuals and couples who crave the responsibility of a child, but, for various reasons, may not be able to conceive or carry one. Whether it is single men who want biological children, couples who have medical issues, or someone who has another reason altogether, the answer for all of them is surrogacy. Read on for all you need to know about this method of childbirth.
What is Surrogacy?
Many couples, who are facing fertility issues nowadays, are opting for surrogacy to start their family. When another woman carries and delivers your baby, it is called surrogacy. The woman who carries and gives birth to your baby is known as a surrogate mother (or simply a surrogate) and can be your relative, friend or an anonymous volunteer. The surrogacy process is an extremely complex legal process which can not only be emotionally intense but also require a lot of patience, time and money. It is very important to understand all the pros and cons of the procedure before going for it. If all the aspects of surrogacy, such as legal, financial and medical are taken care of, then surrogacy is one of the best fertility options available today.
Who Can Benefit From Surrogacy?
You may benefit from surrogacy if:
Your medical condition makes pregnancy and birth, fatal for you
You are born without a uterus
You have undergone uterus removal surgery or hysterectomy
You have had recurrent abortions
Your uterus has abnormality or unusual shape
You have had no success with other fertility treatments (like IVF)
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) states that you may opt for surrogacy if it is medically impossible for you as a couple to carry a baby.
How Does Surrogacy Work?
Surrogacy works in following ways:
Natural Or Straight Surrogacy :
The intended dad’s sperm is artificially inseminated through IUI into the surrogate mother. Natural or straight surrogacy uses the host’s uterus and eggs. After birth, the baby is handed over to the intended parents and the surrogate mother terminates her parental rights.
Gestational Or Host Surrogacy :
When a donated embryo is carried by a surrogate up to the term, it is called Gestational or host surrogacy. In this case, you are the biological parents of your baby.
Altruistic Surrogacy :
The host receives no financial benefit from this kind of surrogacy and only receives allowable expenses.
Commercial Surrogacy :
When on top of allowable expenses a separate fee is also paid for the services rendered by the surrogate, it is called commercial surrogacy.
How to Find and Choose a Surrogate Mother
You may ask a friend or relative to be a surrogate mother for your baby. It is one of the best ways to find a surrogate, as it not only reduces the legal hassles associated with surrogacy but also cuts down the cost.
You may also contact various surrogacy agencies to arrange a surrogate for you. The agency makes arrangement for a surrogate and also acts as an intermediary for passing on various medical expenses and fees between you and the surrogate.
Surrogacy and its Legal Issues
There are many issues associated with legal surrogacy and a legal surrogate. It is very important to seek expert legal advice on this matter. If you plan for surrogacy in another country, you should be aware of surrogacy law of that country.
How to Prepare for Surrogacy
You can prepare for surrogacy by:
Preparing yourself emotionally for the changes that will follow after the birth of your baby, such as waking up at night, change in social life, sharing responsibilities with your partner etc.
Making arrangements to welcome your baby into the house. You may do up your baby’s room, buy stroller, crib, clothes and other essentials for your baby.
Join parenting classes to prepare yourself for the baby’s arrival.
Reading about parenting and childcare.
What Screening Test is Required?
The following screening tests may be required for a surrogate mother:
Medical screening will be done to ascertain any sexually transmitted disease. The lab and physical tests may include HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, RH factor, Herpes, and Syphilis etc. Other blood and urine tests also may be conducted.
The health of the uterus is determined by conducting Pap smear.
A mock cycle is performed to check the response of uterine lining to hormone replacement.
HCG will be performed to check the size of the uterus and the passage of the fallopian tubes.
A pelvic examination is also performed to determine the length and direction of the uterine cavity.
Apart from various physical and medical tests, psychological testing is also done to check the determination and ability of the surrogate to carry on the surrogacy.
What is the Success Rate?
It is very difficult to determine the actual success rate of surrogacy as there are a number of factors associated with it. If you get a volunteer surrogate, who becomes pregnant through the fertility treatment and carries your baby for the full, you will be successful, however, the same procedure may fail for others.
Advantages of Surrogacy
Surrogacy has great advantages to couples who cannot conceive biologically, as it provides you with a chance to have a baby who is (genetically) partially or completely yours. You may also get closely involved during the pregnancy and birth of your baby.
Disadvantages of Surrogacy
Some of the disadvantages associated with surrogacy are:
It involves complicated legal and medical procedures.
It is difficult to find a clinic that supports surrogacy.
It is difficult to reconcile with the various choices of the surrogate, such as managing diet, pregnancy and labour
Problems Associated With Surrogacy
One of the main concerns or problems associated with surrogacy is, whether or not this procedure is fair to the surrogate mother? It is generally feared that the surrogate mother may become attached to the baby she is carrying. However, if proper bonding and relationship with the commissioning couple is maintained throughout the pregnancy, this problem can be kept at bay.
What Does Surrogacy Cost?
The surrogacy cost can vary and depends on various factors, such as:
The cost of the donor (sperm or egg)
The surrogate mother cost
The cost of embryo implantation
The cost of your infertility treatment (ICSI or IVF to create an embryo)
Surrogacy Vs Adoption
Surrogacy has many benefits in comparison to adoption, as surrogacy allows either or both the partners to be the genetic parents of the child. Though surrogacy laws are different for different countries; surrogacy does not involve expensive and extensive procedures like adoption. You do not need to qualify to be surrogate parents, unlike in adoption.
Surrogacy is an effective way of becoming parents if you are unable to become parents naturally. However, it is recommended to be thorough with all the legal, financial and medical issues before opting for this fertility treatment option.

Calendar Method of Family Planning
Calendar methods of family planning are based on calculating a woman’s fertile period. This calculation is done using recorded data on the length of her previous menstrual cycles. Once the fertile period is calculated, the woman can either abstain from sex on her fertile days or use an alternative method of contraception on those days, such as a diaphragm, spermicide or condom.
What is Calendar Method of Contraception?
Calendar method of contraception is a way to prevent unplanned pregnancy by calculating a woman’s fertile period based on the length of her previous menstrual cycles. This data is then used to have sex on the safe days and avoid sex on the fertile days. There are various ways to calculate the calendar method safe days.
How does this Method Work?
A woman can get pregnant within a window of around five days in any given menstrual cycle. Once the ovary releases an egg, it moves into the fallopian tube and stays there for 24 hours, waiting to be fertilized by a single sperm. The sperm, on the other hand, can survive for about 5 days inside the female reproductive tract. After 24 to 48 hours, an unfertilized egg will die and be expelled through the vagina in what is called menstruation.
If you have unprotected sex 2-3 days before you ovulate, the egg may be fertilized by a sperm which has survived inside your reproductive tract, causing you to get pregnant. The calendar method works by predicting the time of a woman’s ovulation so that the woman can abstain from unprotected intercourse during that time to avoid pregnancy.
How to Use the Calendar Method Correctly?
In order to use the calendar method correctly, you need to track the length of your menstrual cycles for at least six months. You mark the first day of your period as Day 1 of the first menstrual cycle. Mark the first day of your next menstrual period. This will be Day 1 of the second menstrual cycle. Count the number of days in between the first days of each period. This will be the length of your menstrual cycle. You need to record this for at least 6 cycles to determine the average length of your menstrual cycle. Using this, you can calculate your fertile period and your safe days. The calendar method works best for women whose menstrual cycles are between 27 to 32 days in length.
Formulas and Calculations Used for Calendar Method
The calendar method has two basic ways of calculation of fertile days and safe days in a woman’s menstrual cycle:
1. Standard Days Method
This method was introduced by Georgetown University in 2002. This method had a set of simple rules and was promoted along with a product called the Cycle Beads, a string of coloured beads to help a woman keep track of the high and low fertility days during her menstrual cycle. This method works only for women who have menstrual cycles ranging between 27 to 32 days in length. In this system, days 1-7 of a woman’s menstrual cycle are considered infertile. Days 8-19 are fertile and unsafe to have unprotected sex. The days from day 20 to the end of the cycle are again considered infertile. This method was thought to be 95% efficient in preventing unplanned pregnancies. However, in reality, it is around 88% effective because many women do not abstain and end up having unprotected sex during their fertile days.
2. Calendar Rhythm Method
This method is slightly more complex than the standard day's method. The rhythm method is also called the Knaus-Ogino Method, as it was developed independently by two gynaecologists in the 1920s. One was an Austrian doctor named Hermann Knaus, and the other was a Japanese gynaecologist name, Kyusaku Ogino. In the rhythm method, 19 is subtracted from the length of the woman’s shortest menstrual cycle to find the pre-ovulation infertile period. Then 10 is subtracted from the length of her longest menstrual cycle to find the post-ovulation infertile period. So, a woman whose menstrual cycle ranged from 30 to 36 days will be infertile for the first 11 days of her cycle (30-19=11). She will be fertile on the days between day 12 to 25 and then be infertile again from day 26 (36-10=26). When used to prevent pregnancy, this method was found to be 86 to 91% effective.
Who can you use the Calendar Method?
The calendar method to avoid pregnancy works for women whose menstrual cycles range between 27 to 32 days in length. Both the Standard Days method and the Rhythm method do not work for women whose cycles are all shorter than 27 days. The calendar method for pregnancy prevention works for normal, healthy women with regular menstrual cycles. The calendar method will not work for:
Women who recently gave birth.
Women who are breastfeeding.
Women are nearing menopause.
Women who stopped using hormonal methods of birth control recently.
Women who have irregular menstrual cycles.
Women whose menstrual cycles are all shorter than 27 days.
Is Calendar Method for Birth Control Really Effective?
The calendar method of birth control is very effective if used in conjunction with other fertility methods like tracking basal body temperature and checking cervical mucus to predict ovulation. It is also very effective if women abstain from sex during their fertile days or have sex using a backup contraceptive, like condoms, diaphragms or spermicides.
In reality, however, the Standard Days method is only around 88% effective, and the Rhythm method is 86% effective as women may not always refrain from having unprotected intercourse during their fertile period. The exact time of ovulation is also affected by factors such as illness, medications or stress, making the prediction of safe days inaccurate.
Advantages of Calendar-Based Fertility Awareness Methods
There are several advantages of the calendar-based fertility awareness methods that are used for family planning:
They do not cost money.
They do not cause side effects like the hormonal methods of contraception do.
Women are better aware of their menstrual cycle as they have to monitor it closely to calculate their fertile period. This is helpful in keeping track of their general reproductive health.
Disadvantages
There are some disadvantages in using the calendar method to prevent pregnancy:
The Standard Days method works only for women who have regular menstrual cycles.
The rhythm method will not work for women whose menstrual cycles are shorter than 27 days.
Will not work for women who suffer from conditions like polycystic ovaries.
The exact timing of ovulation can be affected by stress, medications, and illness. This can make the prediction of the fertile period inaccurate.
Additional contraception or abstinence is necessary for the entire fertile period of the menstrual cycle.
The actual effectiveness of the Standard Days method is 88%, and that of the rhythm method is 86%, which is a lot less than hormonal or barrier methods of contraception.
The calendar method of family planning only prevents pregnancies. It cannot prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Women who have multiple partners or women whose partners are not in a monogamous relationship are at risk of contracting STIs without the use of condoms.
Natural family planning methods such as the calendar method of family planning are not 100% effective in preventing unplanned pregnancies. For them to be more effective, they should be used along with a backup method of contraception such as a cervical cap, spermicide, diaphragm, or condom. Calendar method can also be used by women who are trying to conceive as well. They can have unprotected intercourse during their fertile period to get pregnant. The calendar method requires women to track their menstrual cycle closely to predict their ovulation time. This is now made easier by various apps available online for tracking the menstrual cycle. These apps can even calculate the fertile period and safe days based on previously recorded data. Keep in mind that the calendar method does not prevent STIs and hence, it is advisable to use condoms for non-monogamous relationships.

Hives(Urticaria) In Children
Hives are a result of the human body's reaction to an allergy. A chemical called histamine is released whenever the human body encounters an allergen. The reason for the allergy can vary across multiple sources, such as:
Insects
Coming in contact with certain insects or being bitten or stung by bees or ants, may result in the development of hives as a reaction.
Food items
From consuming specific items to even touching them, food remains one of the primary reasons for the development of hives. Milk, peanuts, soybeans, shellfish have been known to cause allergies in some children or might cause hives popping up on their body.
Animals
Being around pet animals such as cats or dogs can result in a reaction in your child if they are allergic to animal hair.
Illnesses
In certain situations, diseases such as a viral infection or common cold might result in red spots and hives on your child's body.
Temperature fluctuations
Temperature fluctuations, either in the environment or the surroundings, may result in your child's skin reacting to it, causing a breakout of hives.
Since hives are the human body's reaction to an unwanted chemical, certain medicines or antibiotics can result in the body reacting to them, and causing hives.
Usually, hives in children are rather mild and can be treated at home with simple remedies. Antihistamine tablets for oral consumption are the go-to method for the treatment of hive breakouts. At times, using a 0.5 to 1 per cent topical cortisone cream has been known to provide substantial relief from the stinging sensation around the hive.
In uncommon situations, if the rash gets severe over time and your child does not respond to oral medication and antihistamines, it is best to get them checked by a doctor. If accompanied by angioedema, a doctor's attention is highly recommended, and they might suggest a stronger medication to bring the swelling under control. In extreme cases, a shot of epinephrine might be administered to your child to reverse the allergic reaction.
What Are Hives?
Urticaria, welts, swellings, are some of the alternatives words that are used to describe baby hives. They appear as red rashes on the skin, in different shapes and sizes, and cause itching in those areas. A very well-known and defined sign of hives is a pale red central area that is slightly swollen, surrounded by a ring of red rash.
Causes Of Hives In Children
Hives are almost always a result of an allergic reaction, although pinpointing the exact source of the reaction can be quite challenging. A usual case of hives stays for around 24 hours and then disappears. This small window of a day can provide interesting clues for discovering the source of the allergy. It could be a new shampoo, maybe a bug that bit them in the garden, a new food that they tried, or they played around with a cat or a dog.
Hives that last more than a day, ranging from a couple of weeks to multiple months, are difficult to track down to a single source. Usually, it's a food allergy in most of the cases. However, consumption of certain medicines has also known to cause allergic reactions, resulting in hives. Chronic hives are somewhat rare in children. So, it's best to monitor the diet of your child and opting for allergy testing to discover the source.
Signs And Symptoms Of Hives in Babies And Kids
Ordinary red rashes and itches appearing suddenly for no reason.
Red spots or welts in several places of the body.
Rashes that flare up, itch a lot, swell, disappear in some time, and reappear in a different area of the body.
A cycle of rashes flaring and settling happening over the course of days or weeks.
Chronic hives, that are known to last for more than six months.
Anaphylactic Shock
In extreme cases, the appearance of hives can trigger an anaphylactic shock in the body. Within an hour or so of the reaction, an anaphylactic shock to the presence of hives might result in breathing difficulty, nausea, blurred vision, itching, sneezing, or even loss of consciousness.
How Is The Diagnosis Of Urticaria Done?
The first step towards the diagnosis of urticaria is the examination of a distinctive red rash on the body. The source of the allergy can then be traced by understanding multiple factors associated with the rash, such as-
When and where the rash was first observed
What food was consumed and the daily diet
Any new medications consumed lately
Presence of animals or pets in the surroundings
Insect bites
A family history of urticaria
Treatment
Various types of medication are used in carrying out the treatment of hives, that range of controlling a mild reaction to handling an extreme case of a hive breakout. Benadryl for hives in toddlers is a prevalent method of providing relief and controlling the reaction.
1. Antihistamine
If hives are present all over the body, antihistamine medication such as cetirizine can help alleviate the itching and swelling.
2. Take Histamine Blockers
Doctors may suggest taking histamine blockers orally or via an injection to help relieve the hives. Cimetidine and ranitidine are generally used, although they might cause indigestion as a side-effect.
3. Corticosteroids
In case the child doesn't respond to over-the-top medication, the doctor might recommend stronger topical or oral corticosteroids, like prednisone. These are used only for a short amount of time.
4. Getting Asthma Drug Injected
Certain studies have demonstrated that injection of omalizumab, an asthma drug, can help relieve hives without any side effects. It does cost higher than the usual methods of treatment.
5. Combination Of Asthma Drugs And Antihistamines
In extreme cases of hive breakouts, the doctor might combine asthma drugs with an over-the-top prescription of an antihistamine. These, at times, may result in behaviour and mood changes in the child.
6. Immune System Suppressants
Chronic hives may need to be treated with immune system suppressants. Drugs such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus limit the immune system's response to hives, but also have side effects of a headache and nausea.
Complications
Chronic and acute hives can cause various complications, such as a deeper swelling of skin tissue. These may further impact the mood of the child and cause irritation.
Complications Of Angioedema (Giant Hives)
Angioedema is caused by a build-up of fluid in the layers of the skin, resulting in large swellings. These usually affect the areas of eyes, lips, genitals, hands, and feet. A constant presence of further angioedema results in a deterioration of mental well-being causing stress and unhappiness.
How To Soothe The Itchy Skin?
Soothing itchy skin can provide quite a relief from hives. Taking a cold bath or a shower can help with it, as it also washes away any allergens that might be present on the skin. Application of a soothing cream might also help with the same.
Home Remedies For Hives
Wash the area to remove any allergens present.
A cold bath with a sprinkle of baking soda can help soothe the skin.
Applying a cold compress to the skin helps calm the itch.
Tips To Take Care Your Child During Hive Infection
Make sure your child does not end up itching the hives.
The clothes should fit comfortably and not be too tight around the hives.
Avoid exposing the child to extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations.
When To Consult A Doctor
If the hives do not disappear within a few days, consult your doctor understand if it is a case of acute hives.
In the case of chronic hives, visit your doctor as soon as hives are observed.
If your child experiences an extreme reaction to the hives, inform your doctor immediately.
Hives in children are usually mild and can be treated very easily with simple home remedies. In most cases, they are no more irritating than the common cold. With simple care and medication, your child can be back to normal in no time.

What Your Kid Eats is What Your Kid Becomes
Kids are so mischievous and always avoid taking food on time and avoiding especially nutritive food... Is that your complaint..?
Then let me tell u all gorgeous moms that it's completely on us how to modify this..
1) Eat all kinds of tasty and non-tasty foods throughout pregnancy, that will cultivate a taste in ur baby.
2) Give coloured foods like carrot, capsicum, cucumber in their plate.. Colors always attract them.
3) Let them eat with their own hand.. Let it be messy.
4) Always eat with the family and cultivate the same habit in your child.
5) Prepare the dish in different ways with a pinch of their favourites veggies or spices and they will finish in the blink of an eye.
6) Feed them every 3 hrs in small proportions.
7) Ragi, oats, cereals, fruits and veggies are best for your kid.
8) Praise them and reward them as and when they eat new and less-tasty but nutritious dishes.
9) Use less sugar in milk and give sugary items with caution.
10) Brush their teeth or tell them to gargle after giving sweet sticky food, that will save ur kids teeth from cavities.
11) Avoid packet foods and prepare everything home for your little munchkin.
12) Give ur child cow's milk after weaning them off breastmilk.
There's so much you can do for your bundle of joy. And always remember that hunger is the main point here. When your baby is hungry, he will definitely eat whatever food you give him.. So always feed him on time.
Other than food, play with them, run with them and keep them physically and mentally active the full day with adequate sleep and rest. Let them fall, let them stand again on their own. Don't panic if they fall down while playing. And please don't be overprotective. That will hamper their growth. Motivate them to take part in all games and competitions without instilling fear of failure in them or pressure of winning. Always stay positive and happy in front of them. Babies are God-gifted, nurture them like flowers.

#ItalianLove Spaghetti with Mushrooms
This is what I turn to when I'm looking for 'Comfort Food'. It's got all my favourite ingredients and is a big hit with both my 17 year old nephew and my 6 year old niece. It's a single dish meal, so while it's a little time consuming to make, it's a handy recipe to have!
Serves
Preparation Time
Cooking Time
4 People
10 Minutes
45 Minutes
Ingredients
Spaghetti - 1 and a half packets
Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
Butter - 60 grams
Flour - 60 grams
Milk - 600 ml
Garlic - 3 cloves, finely chopped
Mushrooms - 250 grams, sliced
Cheese - 6 cubes, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Step 1
In a small pan, heat the olive oil, add the garlic, and saute till translucent. Raise the heat and add the sliced mushrooms, saute on high heat tossing frequently. Season with salt and fresh pepper. Switch off and set aside to cool.
Step 2
Bring about 10 cups of water to boil in a large pan, add a teaspoon of olive oil and salt. Add the spaghetti, pressing down with a slotted spoon until all of it is submerged. Boil rapidly for another 10 minutes, checking frequently. Once done, drain into a large colander, add a splash of olive oil, and toss.
Step 3
While the spaghetti is cooking, place the butter in a heavy based pan, and melt over low heat. Whisk in the flour spoon by spoon, until the mixture comes together and starts to leave the sides of the pan - about 2 minutes
Step 4
Pour in the milk at once, and whisk vigorously, to ensure no lumps form - the mixture will begin to thicken. Stir in 4 cubes of the grated cheese, then add the cooled mushroom and garlic mixture.
Step 5
Serve immediately with the hot spaghetti and a bowlful of grated cheese - Yum!
