CHIROPRACTIC: STRANGE THINGS PEOPLE REPORT AFTER THEIR ADJUSTMENTS... The June 2005 study by Leboeuf-Yde et al.^^^ "largely reproduced" the results from a previous study... INTERESTINGLY: 2% to 10% of chiropractic patients self-reported improved nonmusculoskeletal reactions (allergy, asthma,...

Hi everyone, I do not post here much, I mostly lurk. I am having what many of you would consider a very interventionist pregnancy, and please respect that this is my choice. We went through IVF and I am now 30w5d pregnant with twins. I am willing to do anything to keep these babies safe...

I started having irregular, mostly painless, uncomfortable contractions on Friday, June 3rd. This continued through Monday. I fell asleep Monday night at about midnight and was awoken at just before 2:00 am by a very painful contraction. I got up to pee and to see if that would make it stop. I...

He says, (page 200) "Forgive this personal comment, but I got called out at eight o'clock for an emergency call and my daughter-in-law delivered a son by c-section. Our first male...

Hi All well I went for my scan today after putting it off for a week but it was a good job I did really LOL. It turns out that I am only 8 weeks and 4 days pregnant and not 3 months and about 2 weeks according to my workouts and midwifes workouts and examinations. It was rather shocking I must say...

Does anyone know when it is safe to start giving infants cottage cheese or yogurt? My daughter is 8 months old now and is really turning her nose up at baby food. She still has no teeth, but does a good job of mashing with her gums. I have began to give her cut up (in very small pieces) veggies...

Tadpole (benjamin) arrived on 6-4, weighing a perfectly normal 7 lbs 5 oz, despite the scary predictions of the ob (i had gd). HAH! The birth sucked, and I don't really want to relive it with a blow by blow (we managed to pull off a VB with only nine minutes before doctor trotted us to...

I went this morning to the doctor's appointment. Dr. Coolbeans was on vacation, so I was nervous about meeting a different doctor. The appointment went really fast. There was very little waiting for each part, so I didn't get much knitting done. His assistant was very nice and completely...

I will be on vacation until July 20 and will not be reading or posting. (actually, I will still be here tomorrow). Larry

Hi all. Here's a weird one for you. My first was a girl and I experienced really bad knee joint pain from the 2nd trimester on. My second was a boy and I didn't really have the knee joint pain. Now.. pg w/#3 I have the knee joint pain again.. even worse than the 1st. Timing says this should be a...

Hi folks, Had my check up today. Nothing too exciting to report, except that my OB was a bit worried about this cough I've had for a week. She wrote a perscription for a z-pack (antibiotics) that I can fill if I don't get better in a couple of days, and told me to take Robitussin and lots of...

My wife and I have been trying desparetly to get preg for 3 years. We finally got some good news this month. She was 10 days late and a home preg. test came back positive. We went to the Dr.'s to confirm and sure enough it was positive. Her HCG level was in the 500's, but her progesterone level was...

today, 10 days after the birth was my first attempt at a normal day at home with 2 children, it's basically gone fairly well, the only issue being that my lochia which had basically stopped, has dramatically increased, at one point a soaked I pad in half an hour, DH was able to come home early and...

One of those perpetual topics, huh? I've googled the archives, but I haven't quite found the answers I'm looking for. So, I went in for my regularly scheduled appointment on Thursday (31 weeks), and my BP was 168/90 (IIRC). Coincidentally, it was the day of my GTT so I got a CBC along with that,...

difficult to say, I know diarrhoea isn't a usual pregnancy thing, it's normally constipation, but I had loads in early pregnancy, both when I was in England and Korea, so I couldn't even blame it on the different food. Also frequently got wierd pulse readings, including once when I was doing gentle...
