...parenting magazines we read after I got pregnant instructed us to prepare the dog gradually for the baby's arrival. Wean him off the furniture first, the experts said. Let him sniff something of her before she arrives from the hospital--a blanket, a cap--to allay his suspicion. When she does come home, take care that I, his special person, do not carry the baby in. All this will teach him to embrace or at least tolerate the new member of the family and not act like a dingo and drag her away. The articles didn't say that...
...bookstores were growing fat with titles aimed at men: How to Father, Expectant Father, Pregnant Fathers, The Birth of a Father, Fathers Almanac and Father Power.

The old figure, which ranked India as number one globally in cases of HIV/AIDS, was based on extrapolating from prenatal clinic data alone. The new figures would put India back behind South Africa, which has 5.5 million HIV-positive people, and perhaps below other countries as well...
...massive drop follows a similar halving of the official HIV estimate in Kenya, in 2004, following a more comprehensive survey. Some health experts believe that extrapolating from rates among pregnant women is inaccurate and has led to overestimations in some countries. (The figures from South Africa, where the epidemic is more established and many more surveys have been conducted, are believed to be much more accurate...
