This is only in the UK and costs the equivalent of $14Cdn/month which is a bit steep but it's a service I've never heard of before. I wonder if there are other services out there that message you for reminders for this or other purposes. It seems like a good idea if one has trouble remember to take one's meds, and not just the Pill.

Does anyone from Virginia know anything about this legislation?

It looks to me like this bill is targeting anyone who choses to have a home birth.


HOUSE BILL NO. 1421
Offered January 8, 2003
Prefiled October 23, 2002


A BILL to amend the Code of Virginia by adding in Article 3 of Chapter 12 of
Title 18.2 a section numbered 18.2-510.1, relating to the duty to report
childbirth.

----------
Patron-- Cosgrove
----------
Committee Referral Pending
----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding in Article 3 of Chapter 12
of Title 18.2 a section numbered 18.2-510.1 as follows:

? 18.2-510.1. Duty to report childbirth.
Any woman who, without the assistance of a health care professional, gives
birth after more than 24 weeks have elapsed since the beginning of her last
menstrual period and who, though she is reasonably able to do so, fails to
report the birth, whether a live birth or stillbirth, within 12 hours of the
event, to the local sheriff, police department or fire department is guilty
of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

update: Clarification - as I understand it, Virginia does not recognize Certified Professional Midwives as medical professionals.

Dear Vagina,

[sophy.livejournal.com]

I've been noticing people talking some about their feelings about their vagina lately, and I was really pondering whether or not I should post this, but finally decided to just go ahead and do it.

I wrote this a few months ago, after reading the Vagina Monologues and thinking about what I'd like to say to my own vagina...

I've been told to come over here...

And I'm just now getting around to it.
**Little wave to Jaclyn**

I have a question regarding birthcontrol,
but first...

Let me introduce myself.
My name is Morgan, I'm a 22 year old SAHM.
My daughter z03 is now 15 months.
I'm married to the greatest man in the world
(yes, I'm biased, but I've found
it's good for our relationship).

This was posted on the birthcontrol community also,
( so here's a cut tag for your viewing pleasure. )

Thanks in advance,
:)morgan

ok, im new* ;D and i've got a question about something, i dont know if anyone here knows any of this info but.. i was wondering: what is the maximum amount of time that a girls period can last? because i got mine tuesday the 19th, and it's still flowing to this day which is what? about a week and a half later. Usually it's only suppose to last me about 3-5 days since I'm on the pill, and i've been on it for about a year.. and my period has never been this way before. is there something wrong? or what?
