I suppose it's newsworthy that a 70-year-old woman, Omkari Panwar of Muzaffarnagar, India, has given birth to twins. On the other hand, last year the story was that a 60-year-old woman from New Jersey gave birth to twins. We talked about that here at BlogHer, and so, we've had the "what is too old to bear children" debate already.

NBC's new reality show "The Baby Borrowers" takes five teenage couples through a crash course in adulthood tasking them with responsibilities such as a house payment, a job, and for three days, the care of a baby (and later, a toddler, pre-teen and elderly person). Many bloggers and others are up in arms over infants being separated from their parents for so long for a so-called "social experiment" saying it is irresponsible television and some have even called it child abuse.

News you can misuse is a beautiful thing. Take this study that the UK's Times reported as "Curvy women are cleverer too" in November 2007. At CNN this weekend, the lead for this same story suggests that curvier women may take comfort in this research and not torture themselves with weight loss resolutions for the new year. Its tag is the study suggests "curvier women are smarter and have smarter kids too." Do you believe this stuff?

Every Baby Has a Story is the latest online offering from the March of Dimes. (Remember Share Your Story last year?)

The yoga studio where I volunteer just started a six-week workshop to enhance fertility. Apparently this isn't a new idea. And call me - single, thirtysomething, would sure like to be a mom, why yes, me - crazy, because I thought for a minute that I might drop in, because you can't be too prepared when the time comes. But what if it doesn't? I don't know if I can have children, because I've never tried. And I've never tried because I never connected with a man who wanted to try along with me, and I haven't yet been ready to do it on my own.
