Maw Books

Maw Books – book reviews, book recommendations, book lists, author interviews and more!

The return of the search word posts! Each month, I will highlight my favorite search terms that brought people via search engines to the Maw Books Blog.  In the past, I have answered bookish questions (who, what, where, why, when, what page, etc).  I just can’t handle it anymore and dropping those will let me focus on just the fun stuff!  In January, there were more than 23,000 search terms logged in.  I’ve picked out a few of my favorites and left them exactly as they were typed in.  I hope you enjoy!

Bookish Questions

• how can pregnancy occur with one right fallopian tube and 1 left ovary I have one ovary and fallopian tube on the right side, but because my doctor told me that it is possible for the egg to travel across the top of the uterus and into the other tube, we were going to remove my left tube. This is because I don’t have a complete uterus (only half).  In my case, we were going to remove my left fallopian tube to reduce chances of an ectopic pregnancy.  As always ask a doctor.  My full story.
• 36 weeks pregnant, i want my water to break what can i do I am seriously concerned for not only the mental health of this mother, but the physical health of her and her baby.  Crazy!  36 weeks is not full term, why would you want to do that to your child?

• god works miracle for woman to have a baby after hysterectomy After doing some googling, I see that you can become pregnant and carry a baby in the abdomen.  You do not have to have a uterus, but ideally, you don’t want to carry in the abdomen.  Whether or not you could carry to term is another matter.  I have no idea if it’s been done.
