  1. CP twin, one normal...?

    Thanks everyone, for helping me understand this. Can this be evident at birth - obviously if there is great discrepancy in weight or birth trauma there would be but some of my online reading said that CP sometimes manifests at anytime during the fir...

    Hi everyone, My 15 year old daughter just got her first job as a personal care assistant for a 5 y/o girl. This is what I know: Child is developmentally 9 mos -- wears diapers, crawls, has feeding tube, and has active seizures. No speech, just code s...

  6. nuchal translucency thickness

    This concerns false positives and a strange experience I had when pregnant. I was a great, compliant healthy patient. When it came time for the AFP test I had this **gut** feeling that I would get a false positive and worry for the duration of my pr...
  7. Labor, birth and spectators

    This is a really interesting thread. I've been struggling about whether to post my observation here because it's so hard to know the whole story. I come to this board with a background in family therapy and, at the risk of conjecture, this is what ...
  8. Need help re: dd's knee/ankle/foot pain

    ooh, I'm not a nurse yet, but I'm trying to figure out what you are getting at! No dd (dear daughter) doesn't have any other symptoms. She has improved dramatcially by using orthotics. The ready-made ones from the podiatrist's office made all ...

    I presume I'm perimenopausal and one of my concerns about going on the pill was "how will I know where I am" in perio-menopause. Does the pill interfere with the beginning of missed, light periods, etc.? Secondly re: the cyst, if I'm not ovulating, ...
  13. Missed Period On Pill

    Here's a quick question -- I've been on the pill for almost a year for cysts. This month, NO period Just PMS, cramping and a tiny bit of spotting. What's going on -- I'm 40 somthing and NOT PREGNANT! I'm supposed to start my active pills tonig...
  14. TLC Special Duggar Family

    I got a very strong feeling that there's a *very* disturbing agenda at play here. Cults and this family have a lot in common: confirmity (dress), rigid routines, punishments for deviating or questioning the leader (of course TLC isn't going to show o...
  15. SHAVING & WAXING

    Remember the days whem women fought NOT to be "prepped" (shaved) for delivery?!!!
