Y2K Millennium Baby News on Everything2000

DATELINE: SEATTLE

Mar. 9, 1999--Complete Year 2000 Millennium Baby Information on Everything2000.com - One Month to Ideal Conception Date

Today marks one month until April 9, the date doctors say is the best possible day for women to conceive a baby for birth on January 1, 2000. Around the world, women are monitoring menstrual cycles, popping prenatal vitamins, tracking basal body temperatures and practicing positions.

Everything2000.com, (http://everything2000.com) recognized as the premier source for millennial and Year 2000 information, is now following several potential "millenni-moms" and their attempts to conceive around April 9. Then, Everything2000.com will chronicle the expectant women to hopeful births on January 1, 2000.

First baby contests, controversy surrounding planned births, Baby 2K News, Y2K implications and conception advice are now part of an expanded Everything2000.com.

"We invite our readers to follow these potential mothers-to-be and their quest to make history," says John Locher, publisher of Everything2000.com. "This is the most unique birth date of our lifetime," says Locher.

Whether there will be a baby boomlet around January 1 remains to be seen. But already, the mere idea of millennium babies is controversial. In London, British churches have denounced a television company for filming ``Birth Race 2000,'' a documentary that will follow couples trying to create millennium babies.

"There is a news of a woman in China aborting her baby because she'd rather have a Year 2000 birth" says Matt Markovich, managing editor of Everything2000.com. "We have doctors debating the ethics of surgical delivery just after midnight and politicians denouncing baby contests in New Zealand. So it's more than just hype," says Markovich.

Links from the Everything2000.com will lead couples to advice on maximizing their chances for millennium birth. Although a woman's chances of targeting a birth date are slim, doctors say couples can improve their chances by having sex in the missionary position, when a woman is ovulating, and by giving up smoking.
