Gateway Women | Childless & Childfree Resources

Women love to explore Sagres travel owing to its exotic beaches and its simple and cheery bars and cafes. The surfing crows in these places, eliminates the feel of travelling alone to these places.

Once upon a time a woman and a man tried having babies, but it didn't work, so when they were past the age of trying, they decided that they had enough disposable income to travel the world, and so they did, and it was awesome, and both of them felt okay about it, and no one gave them any grief over it, either.
The End.

After years of not having much money we are now able to take nice holidays and enjoy making our flat into a comfortable home. But the baby conundrum is hanging over us. There is so much pressure to have the perfect life. And this perfect life does not involve being a childless couple.

While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to be seen by many as the panacea, its safety profile has plummeted since research in 2002 linked it with a higher risk of breast cancer, stroke and blood clots (even though for most women the risk of these is still small - see box).

When you lose a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or shortly after birth, the grief is very real and visceral. Yet because there is no typical way to commemorate these babies and no socially accepted way to grieve, parents can feel confused and isolated in their sorrow. I know I did.

Lately, I've been working on being softer towards myself. Kinder. Slower. Why? Because it just feels so darn good, but also because I'm feeling anxious. You might be feeling the same way. Anxiety is fairly common this time of year.

Couple provides free education for poor children A childless couple from Bogura village accepted their barren fate and decided to help educate for free the deprived children of the village. Secondary school teacher Nawsher Alam and his wife Mahmuda Alam run the school of over 100 students enrolled through playgroup to grade five.

Wonderful anonymous blog by US-based professional single woman in her early 40s. Intelligent, provocative reading. Highly recommended (Jody | Gateway Women)
