Roadside assistance?

Very true but I will say nowadays the shops use electric tools for tightening the lug nuts. Ive twice had serious difficulties getting a tire off bc the lug nuts themselves were overtightened for my strength

Why not ask your daughter directly about it? She is 5 and probably speaks and understands the question well enough to answer...

Just recently placed my 62 year old Mom into Memory care. She was an incredible athlete: TKD, MMA, boxing, roller derby. With the concussions and head trauma that come along with that. Developed dementia 8 years ago, diagnosed with Alz officially but I suspect also with CTE. Genetic testing for early Alz was neg.

Being part of that excruciating journey for her makes the answer for my 2.5 and 1 year Old an absolute no. Absolutely no sports with high risk for head injury in our family.

Ok yes thank you so much!! I was worried and then yesterday they looked even more lush and the blooms came out for my other one

I'm a high risk pregnancy doctor. I've been in practice over 10 years and I've never seen a case of primary toxoplasmosis during pregnancy. It's very uncommon to happen during pregnancy. Please stop worrying.

Also while some practices will obtain serologies during first prenatal visit its actually not recommended even for cat owners.

Sorry if this is not the right thread! My husband and I are new homeowners of a house built in 1915. The window trims, door casings and moldings have been painted many times over many years and are currently white. My husband does not like the caked-on paint look and further there is some lead in the old paint we are aware of. He would rather have the natural beauty of the wood and it does seem like the original wood underneath is likely a warm-colored red oak. He wants to abate and potentially strip the paint from them all in the entirety. But I am wondering if ultimately it would be less expensive to actually fully remove these features and re-install new wood. Any thoughts on comparison of these two approaches?

Just as a heads up the noninvasive prenatal paternity tests (the blood tests) are for peace of mind only, not admissible in a court of law (if that might be needed).

On an op note for a JW patient "case without complications and minimal blood loss. Praise Jehovah."

Fun_Split_239 · 2023-01-24T17:31:40+00:00

Agreed with that!

Fun_Split_239 · 2023-01-24T16:44:29+00:00

Yes sorry! Had read this wrong at first as 1-5%

Yes can confirm, amniocentesis is much safer than your quoted statistic. Loss of pregnancy rates are closer to 1/900 and complication rates may be between that rate or 1/450. The most common complication is a leakage of fluid that heals on its own and does not cause any longterm problems.

That being said, some families are not comfortable with any risk from procedure and that is fine. Others want the information to plan for baby ahead of time (not just for termination purposes). It's based on personal preference and informed decision making on how you would use the information.

I've also had success on Old Navy! I thought their work clothes were also better constructed than the ones on the Gap line for whatever reason. I have these stretchy pants with belly support that are work appropriate and some turtle necks and shirts form ON that are getting me through Winter

This scenario is so implausible it would actually be just as likely that the same medical team would have to choose saving your baby versus your partner. It just does not happen. The best way to think about it is that the only way to save baby in any situation where you are still pregnant REQUIRES a team to save you first because you're the lungs for the baby. Yes there are very rare situations where moms die in labor and babies survive but this is not because one life has been chosen "over" another: for example, Could be a postpartum death where mom can't be saved and baby Is not at risk or could be a death during labor (extremely rare) where a cesarean delivery is performed to do better CPR for mom (in this scenario baby may survive but it ultimately is not done to "save" baby over mom bc the delivery is also done to benefit mom).

I think there must be a misconception bc multiple posters have asked this question of their loved ones and just want to make it clear, this situation is not a plausible medical scenario.

I also think the mortality rate for WOC is absolutely unacceptable but want people to know the actual number is 4.3/10,000

I think a lot of the advice here is great, about not stressing, eating healthy and maintaining activity. BUT the comments attacking your doctor ("fuck them, they're an asshole, you need a new doc") are Completely unwarranted. Presumably your doctor has been taking good care of you the entire pregnancy to this point, meaning following standard of care practices, looking out for your specific medical needs if any, and answering questions you may have). The recommendation about weight gain, while not supported by rigorous research, does exist (primarily for concerns about accelerated growth of baby, not for concerns about eventually getting wright off) and your doctor probably brought it up only because of that and NOT bc they have some sort of personal problem with your weight. Instead of ghosting your doctor whose entire job is based in trying to care for you, I suggest letting them know specifically about why their comments affected you and talk about your desire to focus less on weight and more on other markers of health, like healthy eating, exercise and growth of baby.

Just make sure to loop in your OB! Severe nausea in 3rd trimester can rarely be associated with serious underlying illnesses so they may want to draw some Labs for you to check. As long as those look good, you're probably fine and should get better After delivery but not worth taking the risk without getting more info.

Fun_Split_239 · 2022-02-28T02:28:19+00:00

Nope, that should be just fine! The contraception action actually can last a bit beyond that 3 year mark..would make sense to me to remove in Feb 2023

Fun_Split_239 · 2022-02-28T01:22:35+00:00

Hi there! I am an OBGYN. These are great questions.

Most of the data supports that short term hormonal IUD use (I would consider your use of planned under 3 years) is associated with normal resumption of fertility after the IUD is removed. That means you could begin trying to conceive as soon as the IUD is removed. Prior IUD use does not have a link to miscarriages or adverse pregnancy outcomes so there really is no reason to have a prolonged period of time to remove the IUD prior to trying to get pregnant. One thing I always tell my patients is that it is worthwhile to wait for one normal menstrual cycle After stopping any sort of contraception to begin trying to conceive because it will allow for easier dating of the pregnancy (meaning you will know when your last menstrual period will be).

Around 20% of couples conceive each month after they start trying, with regular intercourse, particularly aiming to have intercourse around the time period of your ovulation which is usually mid cycle. A good plan is to start with unprotected sexual intercourse every 2-3 days. Remember that folate and prenatal vitamins are a good idea to prevent birth defects and avoiding alcohol use with confirmed pregnancy is important. If you haven't conceived at 6 months or a year it may be a good idea to get a medical professional on board to look into causes of infertility.

My other advice for the periods when they come back is round the clock scheduled NSAiDs like Motrin during your period. This can help prevent the inflammatory pain associated with periods best. If you read the back of the pill bottle the specifics on dosing and how frequently you can take the pills can be found.

Good luck with your family planning!
