Childless women run the risk of earlier death and poorer health in later life. A new study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) finds that not only childless women but also mothers of five or more children, teenage mothers and mothers who have children with less than an 18 month gap between births all have higher risks of death and poor health later in life. .

For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.

A team of Indian surgeons led by Mumbai-based Dr Rakesh Sinha, Dr Neeta Warty and anaesthetist Dr Manju Sinha (Dr Rakesh's wife) had walked their way into the Limca Book of Records in 2003. This was for laparoscopically removing world's heaviest fibroid weighing 3.4 kilograms and measuring 20 x 12 cms (7.8 x 4.7 in) from a 37-year-old woman in December 2000 at Dr Sinha's Bombay Endoscopy Academy and Centre for Minimally Invasive Surgery (BEAMS), a Super Speciality Hospital for Women. Now, after three years, the 49-year-old Dr Sinha was pleasantly surprised to know that the same feat has also notched up a record at the Guinness Book of World Records. His data on this laparoscopic removal of very large fibroids was published in the American Journal of Gynaecological Laparoscopy in November 2003.
