In the time before her period, one woman may say she feels a little blue. Another tears up more easily or becomes very short-tempered.
Every woman experiences her own unique combination and severity of premenstrual symptoms. More and more women are willing to talk about it. It's become clear that while many women have premenstrual syndrome (PMS), fewer have a condition doctors call PMDD, or premenstual dysphoric disorder-a more severe group of symptoms that occur 1 to 2 weeks before a woman's period. While 75% of women of childbearing years experience at leastone symptom of PMS, anywhere between 3% and 8% of women experience PMDD.
PMDD is a recognized medical condition, and there may be something you and your healthcare professional can do about it. If you are one of these women, don't let PMDD interfere with your life and your relationships. You can help take control of your symptoms.

Should I work during pregnancy? What are the risks?
More than 70% of the women of childbearing age in the United States have jobs outside the home. Most women keep working during their pregnancies. Many work right up until delivery and return to work within weeks or months of the baby's birth. As long as you and your baby are healthy and your job presents no special hazards, you should be able to work as long as you want. No matter what type of work you do, discuss is with your doctor early in pregnancy.
