Comment on First pregnancy I had a delivered early what are my chances for the second pregnancy? by Real Life has No Soundtrack

Real Life has No Soundtrack — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:03:59 +0000

With my first, my son was born 3 weeks early. With my second, I went 2 days over my due date and then begged for an induction.
Every pregnancy is different, unless there is a problem with you physically that caused your first to be born early, for example if you have an incompetent cervix.
There is always a chance for miscarriage, but again, unless you have some physical problem that makes you prone to miscarriage, the chance for miscarrying isn’t any greater this time than any other time.
It’s normal to freak out and stress! Just remember every pregnancy is different, and take good care of yourself. That’s all you can do.

But your medical director could have a point (the BMJ was from 2004 I think)

Comment on When should I be worried about my 1 month old possibly having Rheumatoid Arthritis? by Glorioso

I would not start testing your son right now (or in the immediate future.) arthritis can show up at any time, but it’s not detectable ahead of time. Instead be aware of the symptoms of arthritis: pain, redness, swelling, and/or heat concentrated in the joints; stiffness in the morning, or long periods of inactivity; reduced range of motion in the joints; general signs of being unwell (lethargy, reduced appetite, etc.) Joint symptoms with RA are usually symmetrical. It most commonly occurs in the hands, but can occur in other joints as well. If your kids does start showing those symptoms, try to get an appt. with a rheumatologist *quickly.* If necessary, giving your GP a list of symptoms, a family history, and a request for a referral should get you to a rheumy fairly promptly.

Comment on How to treat asthma and how to prevent allrgic asthma attacks? by Patrick

Do not smoke or allow smoking in your home – Babies exposed to tobacco smoke are more likely to get asthma. If a woman is exposed to tobacco smoke during pregnancy, her baby may also be more likely to get asthma.

If animal dander is a problem for you, keep your pet out of the house or at least out of your bedroom, or find it a new home.

If pollen is a problem for you, if possible, stay indoors with the air conditioner on, when the pollen count is high. Do not run the air-conditioning, whether in car or indoors, on the setting that draws in outside air and cools it. Outside air brings with it pollen, and cool, pollinated air is bad for asthma.

To control dust mites, wash your sheets, blankets, pillows, and stuffed toys once a week in hot water. You can get special dust proof covers for your mattress and pillows.

If cold air bothers you, wear a scarf over your mouth and nose in the winter.

There are a number of highly effective herbal and homeopathic remedies that may be used for the successful treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions. Depending on the severity of the asthma, natural remedies can either reduce or completely eliminate the need for the synthetic drugs and are often used in conjunction with conventional medications as a part of a holistic treatment plan.

Herbal ingredients such as Matricaria recutita and Astralagus are known for their antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, while homeopathic ingredients such as Mag. Phos. and Nat. Sulph are successful at easing chest and throat constriction and soothing mucous membranes while reducing the presence of phlegm in the chest. Used regularly, natural remedies can help improve respiratory health, reduce the incidence and severity of asthma attacks while strengthening the immune system.

Comment on Diet………………? by Clemma

I’m not sure how many calories you should have daily, but I do know the list of good foods to eat because I have just recently started a healthy diet for myself.

for breakfast you want to have some type of fruit. have this when you wake up and wait a while to eat the rest of your breakfast which should be high fiber cereal, whole wheat toast, etc.

For lunch you should have whole wheat bread with low fat meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and LITE mayonnaise or honey mustard.
either that or a well balanced salad.

If you are looking the best diet tips, i suggest doing what this mom did

Comment on How many pregnancy tests did you take before your 1st appointment? by Rationality is lost

Rationality is lost — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:04:47 +0000

You can test positive for a good week after you lose the baby and before you know anything is wrong. You can test positive even after you start bleeding with a miscarriage.Why bother?

Stop stressing yourself out, there’s no rational reason your body should fail your child, or that the baby should not be viable. Stress is the number one cause of early miscarriage.

Get on with your life and stop freaking out, you’re only making things worse.

Every woman wonders, but you have a choice of either driving yourself nuts and causing problems, or making the purposeful effort to stay busy and keep your mind on other things.

Comment on How do I talk a dentist into extracting my abscessed tooth instead of pushing for a root canal? by grandpa walleye

grandpa walleye — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:15:17 +0000

You cannot be forced into any treatment nor can you be denied any reasonable treatment. If you tell a dentist that you cannot afford a root canal and cannot be taking antibiotics, and you want to have the tooth removed, I’m sure you will find a dentist that would do the extraction. good luck.
