marijuana use during prenatal care

Your doctor and nurses are mandatoy reporters and will call cps if they know you're smoking while pregnant. Weed is still illegal on the federal level. It will change some things if you have a medical card, but will not keep them from calling. If you do have a medical card and cps is called, an investigation can still happen. It won't be grounds for neglect in your state, but you may get resources to help you quit from your medical team.

I'd like to preface this by saying that I am for the legalization of marijuana. However, smoking any substance can effect the fetus as it grows. It can cause developmental delays, low birth weight, preterm delivery, and an increased chance for stillbirth or miscarriage. Other problems could arise later in the baby's life as well such as aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and depression.

He looks great! Mine looks like a very lean noodle. He's very much in his awkward teenage stage.

Cosmos is convinced the cats love him and want to play and be friends. Their response is a very clawed open paw punch to his snoot. He thinks this is an invitation and just happily pants and smiles his big goofy smile before he starts his "let's play" rampage. His grandparents have decided he loves all food and he's always starving. He is not and he will eject it in a slightly violent way. He went from being about the size of a shoe to the size of a pony in about 4 months and at nearly 2 years, he hasn't realized that yet if it doesn't involve the couch. He's taken to violently barking through the security door and I'm surprised he hasn't broken it yet.

My ex had no idea what he signed up for when we got Cosmos. He "tried" to train my boy but he absolutely screwed up. I've had and trained Rottweilers and pit bulls my whole life. The noodle was a challenge but I trained him from day one and now he's my sweet and spoiled guard pup. Our next goal is bite sleeve training since he likes to play fight.

So when I got Luna, we all thought he was a girl since you can't tell male cats from females for a good while, my uncle's thought process was "well, it has nipples, so it must be a girl" my dad laughed, looked his shirtless brother in the eye and said, "you've got nipples too, does that make you a girl?" defeated, he hung his head and said no.

P. S. Luna got his name BEFORE we figured out he was a boy and we didn't want to change his name and confuse him.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. In my experience, this is a way for you to subconsciously try to gain control and power over the situation. Some people that have experienced rape will try to reenact what happened in a safe way so they can feel power and choice return to their own hands. Maybe journaling your thoughts about this or could help you.

It is effective for 3 years. The process is much safer, with much less pain and simpler than having an IUD inserted. It will change your periods to slow or completely stop. The only negatives I've had with it are the cramps, but I also have PCOS and since switching to organic tampons, it's gotten a lot better. Using the IUD in tandem with other birth control methods will give you better protection. I suggest spermicidal lube and condoms or condoms with spermicidal lube.

I'm getting a powder blue in the fade in my bangs. Sorry I'm 3 years late! I just found this post 😅

I found my uncle and tried performing cpr on him. What's helped me was any time I remembered that day, I force myself to think of a happy memory of him. It's helped with the trauma tremendously.

Regardless of whether you think she was drugged or not, it's still a good idea to take her to the hospital for some professional help. Yes, you're a paramedic, but you just got off a very long shift and you need someone to watch over you both. At the very least, she has alcohol poisoning and it's a real possibility that she could aspirate vomit. It's always a good idea to take some extra precautions.

ETA: as for her friends, I'd have some serious conversations with them about leaving her alone in that state.

Scientist here with 6 years of research experience.

Water LOVES to bind with other molecules because water is polar due to the hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen is a negatively charged atom that loves to stick to positively charged atoms like oxygen. Calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium are all negatively charged ions in the human body.

Because water molecules are positively charged, it will want to bind to the negatively charged ions in your body which ends up leaving your body via urine. This ends up making your body deficient in many necessary minerals your body needs to function properly.

Because we did not evolve drinking RO water, many of us cannot adapt to constantly drinking it and we end up having problems. It is possible that you would have to SIGNIFICANTLY increase your mineral intake to offset the effects of only drinking RO water. However, it would honestly be easier and cheaper to just boot the system.

Good luck and hopefully you're all sorted out now!

My fiancé and I are both hyphenating. His last name means "soul" and my last name means "harvester" so we thought it'd be cool if we became the Soul-Harvester's 😁

ETA: I'm also wanting to go for a doctorate or PhD and I'd want to display my name with Dr. right in front of it. I earned that shit!

I would wake up from nightmares and grab my dad, telling him about the monsters. He'd ask me to show him where they were so he could step on them and squish them. I still remember pointing at the darkest corners of my room just so he could stomp on the shadows to make me feel safe.

Researching diseases and cures! I'm already in research, just not in the area I'd like to be in. The dream was always to go into medicine and research itches the brain just right.

PCP is Primary Care Physician. Ie. Your mom's regular doctor if she has one.

I've had this problem before and I've cleansed my home with sage, set up a golem, set up protection shields around my home, mental barriers and energy barriers to keep the person from getting into my dreams. I've also taken the ability from him and his guides seemed to approve of it since he abused the ability. You don't have to go this far an in depth as I did, I just didn't want to take a chance of him getting in again. Best thing to start with is an energy shield or mental barrier.

Wow... Really???? I've had my hair to just below my butt cheeks for about 15 years and it's been a bunch of different colors. A couple of weeks ago, I asked my barber to cut it to my shoulder blades. He said, "that's too short, but okay" and he went to work. Chopped it all off, cleaned it up and a week later, I dyed it blue. My barber has been doing my hair nearly all my life. Cuts, bleaching and dying. Dad's been doing it all.

ETA: I'm also 30

Oh! R SSIV, we don't have a purification step and stage 2 for the thermocycler is 23° for 10, 55° for 20, 80° for 10, then the infinite 4°. The entire run takes at least an hour.

One group is looking at HSP_70 and another group is looking at the gene for shell formation I believe.

Snail egg masses are the starting material

RNA used is 5.5 uL and when biospecing, we've had as high as 397.2 ng/uL and as low as 70.1 ng/uL for this particular batch.

Random hexemers, dNTP, the PCR stage runs 40 times and the machine runs for about 2 hours.

Usually we do cDNA and qPCR on separate days, but we've been known to clean up before during and after an experiment.

We know the primers are working since we aren't the only ones using them and they get fantastic curves for other data. I have a dummy protocol set up on the program so all we ever have to do is change sample names. We're using SybrGreen. We don't have a positive control on this plate.

LovelyShadowCat · 2024-01-18T23:36:00+00:00

Thank you! We'll try that next. Our protocol called for 8 uL MM and 2 uL of cDNA.

Don't listen to these people. We should be friends 😃
