"Kære Zoe Ukhona" er en fantastisk fortælling om hvor lykken og meningen med livet ligger, når man har været igennem en følelsesmæssig rutsjetur. Pelle Hvenegaard er på blind date med Caroline en smuk dansk sommeraften. En date som faktisk var tæt på at blive aflyst, men hvor noget som ligner skæbnen alligevel lader daten finde sted. Pelle Hvenegaard ved med det samme at Caroline - HUN skal være mor til hans børn!En stormende forelskelse gør det til en selvfølge, at de to skal stifte og skabe en familie sammen. Men som for flere og flere par - kom denne familie ikke så let endda. De var ufrivilligt barnløse! Efter flere mislykkedes fertilitetsforsøg, tager Pelle og Caroline beslutningen om at adoptere - en beslutning som skulle føre dem videre på den følelsesmæssige rutsjetur. Pelle Hvenegaard beskriver i bogen, på den mest ærlige, komiske, sørgelige og hjertevarme måde, hvordan han og hans kone skal igennem et adoptionshelvede, inden de kan låse op for døren til deres hjem på Christianshavn, med deres lille datter Zoe Ukhona på armen. Vigtigst fortæller bogen om partnerskab og hvordan man tackler livet når det ikke går som planlagt, men også hvilken ubeskrivelig glæde og lykke det er, når meningen med livet viser sig - når man endelig bliver forældre. Pelle Hvenegaard blev som barn verdensberømt for sin rolle som Pelle i Billie Augusts film " Pelle Erobreren".

A first of its kind, functional lifestyle guide for PCOS, complete with personal stories and nourishing recipes

Romanen Det er lettest, hvis jeg holder kæft med, hvordan jeg har det af Ida Bull omhandler en kvindes ufrivillige barnløshed og kamp for at blive mor. Vi følger i romanen et kvindeligt jeg, som føler sorg og vrede over ikke at kunne blive gravid, følelser som ikke altid bliver mødt med forståelse fra hendes omgivelser. Det er en fortælling om en splittet kvinde, som oplever, at hun udadtil skal udvise glæde på sine gravide veninder og bekendtes vegne, samtidig med at hun skal håndtere sine altopslugende følelser af sorg og vrede alene; hendes oplevelse af at være ensom og misforstået af sine omgivelser vokser i takt med, at hendes barnløshed ikke længere kun påvirker hende selv men også hendes relationer og særligt forholdet til hendes kæreste. Ida Bulls værk Det er lettest, hvis jeg holder kæft med, hvordan jeg har det giver sprog til de følelser og erfaringer, som følger med det at være ufrivilligt barnløs, og åbner op for refleksion over et emne, som mange kvinder oplever som tabubelagt. Værket er nemlig også en historie om en kvindes indsigt i, hvordan hendes ufrivillige barnløshed ikke er en kamp, som hun skal kæmpe alene i stilhed, og at det ikke altid er bedst, hvis man holder kæft med, hvordan man har det.

Human beings have been producing more twins, triplets, and quadruplets than ever before, due to the expansion of medically assisted conception.

Die Kryokonservierung ermöglicht es, Keimzellen, 2-PN-Zellen und Embryonen einzufrieren und über Jahrzehnte zu lagern. Ihre Bedeutung für die Kinderwunschbehandlung wächst stetig. Dennoch bedürfen viele Aspekte vor, während und nach der Kryokonservierung rechtlicher Klarheit. Dies betrifft neben dem rechtlichen Status des Kryogutes vor allem die Entscheidungsrechte der intendierten Eltern. Weitere Problemfelder bilden die zulässigen Handlungen im Umgang mit dem Kryogut, die fehlende zeitliche Höchstlagerungsdauer, die Kinderwunschbehandlung post mortem und der Umgang mit überzähligem Kryogut. Der Autor arbeitet die rechtlichen Grundlagen der Kryokonservierung heraus. Hierbei zeigt er auf, an welchen Stellen ein gesetzlicher Regelungsbedarf besteht und unterbreitet konkrete Regelungsvorschläge.

This book discusses many aspects of fetuses and motherhood from fields as wide as sociology and medicine. It examines changing perceptions of the fetus over recent decades, comparing western ideas with those of non-western countries; examining maternal mental health during COVID-19 and charting the ascent of the 'fetus' to a cult phenomenon, which has currently reappeared in the courts. This work, given its multifaceted approach, will be of interest to a varied and wide range of people, from parents to doctors and nurses, to anthropologists and ethnologists, to scientists, to students of various disciplines, to psychologists and psychoanalysts, to lawyers dealing with the topic and to a general public simply interested in these fundamental themes.

"A modern, inclusive guide to plant-based reproductive medicine: herbal remedies and collective care for conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond"--

Adolescence is a phase of life where transformation fromchildhood to adulthood takes place. Puberty, as the marker of thisphase, presents a significant opportunity to lay a foundation forreproductive health of young people. Pubertal development affectsfemale adolescents differently to their male counterparts. Withinthis period, the young female will experience significant changes inher body and will start her reproductive journey. It is essential thatyoung females are prepared to ensure a smooth transition and apositive puberty experience. However, little is known about youngfemales' knowledge of reproductive health during puberty or theirsources of information about reproductive health during this criticaltime. Globally, research focuses on adolescents aged 15 years andabove, and there is limited data on early adolescents, specificallyyoung female adolescents age 12 to 15 years. Studies conducted withIndonesian adolescents tend to focus on sexual behaviour as a poorreproductive health outcome and fail to consider the importance ofexploring adolescents' knowledge of reproductive health duringpuberty. This PhD study was designed to address these gaps in theliterature by providing an exploration into young females' knowledgeof reproductive health and the sources of information regardingreproductive health during puberty.

Journeys, good or bad, are experienced by every woman.We don't mind sharing the tranquil, pleasant expeditions because they illustrate that all is well in the world and happiness is on full display. But what about the journeys that leave us wondering, "Why me?" and "How did I get here?" We may often choose to suffer in silence or hide from our friends and family when our situation doesn't resemble a pretty, picture-worthy social media post.The Journey examines the elephant in the room that many women face while managing their careers and family planning and provides valuable insights into creating safe spaces for spouses, partners, family, and friends-a necessary tool for living a life that is fully transparent and free from the shackles of fear, shame, or embarrassment.

This book discusses the role of oxidative stress in human reproduction with a focus on men's health. The physiological roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in male fertility are the focus in this book. This topic is important because oxidative stress is a result of the imbalance between ROS and antioxidants in the body which may lead to sperm damage (DNA or count), deformity, and eventually, male infertility. Therefore, for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms related to male genotoxicity and its regulation in infertility, this book provides an up-to-date view on the impact of oxidative stress factors in male reproduction .The main aim of this book is to collect a series of research articles and reviews from a diverse group of scientists to share their research work on the role of ROS or oxidative stress in physiological and pathological states in relation to (in)fertility in the male. This book presents various state-of-the-art chapters of the recent progress in the field of cellular toxicology and clinical manifestations of various issues related to men's health and fertility. Topics include cell signaling, DNA damage and infertility, the pathophysiology of disease instigation and distribution, immune toxicity and prevention.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), an obstetric emergency associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality, has increasingly become a global challenge with the rising trend of cesarean deliveries. This book provides a comprehensive review of basic science-related to PAS, discusses modern practice in diagnosis and classification of PAS disorders, and appraise current recommendations on PAS management in view of recent studies, guidelines, and expert opinions.In the last few years, there have been many new updates to practice guidelines including ACOG, RCOG, and FIGO guidelines in addition to several new studies, some of which were unusually multicenter and of large sample size, that are eligible to make major changes in our PAS practice. In addition, the book aims at providing more comprehensive review of all aspects related to PAS from experts, including topics that are deficient in similar books e.g., vascular anatomy, risk reduction, adjuvant treatments.The book provides a single source that provides academic knowledge for researchers and investigators, and clinical guidance to best practice and recent updates in management of women with PAS.

In the last few decades, as new reproductive technologies have been developed, couples desiring children have increasingly turned to various medical interventions when natural conception has been unsuccessful. These new technologies have raised ethical concerns from various quarters, including medical ethics committees, the American Fertility Society, and the Roman Catholic Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.In this informative overview of the ethical implications of reproductive technologies, philosopher Richard T. Hull offers a cross-section of the thinking of individuals specializing in the ethical and legal problems involved in this new area of medicine.The contributors reflect interests as varied as those of the enthusiastic proponent of the new reproductive technologies, the feminist opposing the exploitation of women, the social critic worrying about erosion of the responsibilities of parenting, and the traditionalist concerned with the transformation of the fundamental moral fabric and social character of the family. Many of the chapters include cases for further discussion and reflection. Also included are three speculative scenarios: selections from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and Gena Corea's report of the drive to develop an artificial womb.New to this edition are a glossary, which provides succinct definitions of highly technical terms and Web sites for further information, and a thorough index.This excellent collection of expert articles will stimulate appreciation of the complex and mutitiered character of moral decision-making as it is experienced by patients, medical professionals, and legislators and jurists charged with preserving, protecting, and applying justly the principles of society.
