8541403 tn?1409425380 Yea my moms always saying stuff like that too. She's done it with both my pregnancys. I think its just and old school way of thinking in my opinion. I was told not yo raise my arms above my head,not to squat, not to bend at all. But I did it with my first pregnancy and I'm doing all the same things with this one. I never had anu issues.
7062464 tn?1395341888 I admit I have a drinking problem but as soon as I found out I was preggo everything down the drain except for a sip of champagne at my wedding with my first and I felt incredibly guilty. Lots of stuff is ok in moderation like caffeine and certain fish but alcohol is a poison that dehydrates u and I'm fine with doing that to myself (until morning hits) but I damn sure wouldn't give a kid toddler or baby alcohol so y would I give my baby it thru my impatience?
Avatar f tn Well im watching deliver me right now and it said that longer and complicated labors mean a boy. And most c-sections is due to boys. They said bcuz they have larger heads than girls lol. My first child i was in labor 28 hours, they gave me oxytocin, they broke my water etc. it was a long 28 hours and what do you no, a BOY lol. What is the one myth/story about how the baby sits, im not sure if i got this right but i think i heard if the baby sits hi its a girl and if its low its a boy.
Avatar f tn Try finding a Planned Parenthood and get an STD screen and HIV testing. They can also educate on the facts and myths of STDs and HIV. If you are 18 you don't need to tell your parents or have their permission to get testing done. Do this ASAP.

179856 tn?1333547362 Consider the huge difference between ethyl alcohol — or drinking alcohol, found in wine and beer — and methyl alcohol, or wood alcohol, which can cause blindness. There's also no data to prove that thimerosal causes autism, Offit says. In fact, seven studies now refute that idea. Gunter notes that flu shots don't use aluminum, which is used in other vaccines as an "adjuvant" to stimulate a stronger immune response.
Avatar m tn d be putting a strain on them to process the alcohol, possibly leading to unnecessary inflammation. Less damage, more healthy cells and less strain on that healthy part from alcohol and other toxins. Like Frank, I can't really imagine going back to old habits like drinking regularly. I have become a true 'social drinker'. The rare glass of wine at a dinner or wedding, but no more visits to the wine aisle in the store, ever.
Avatar n tn Hi Grarro, It was my understanding that you could drink moderately with most ATB's. But to double check I did some searching on the internet. The following is from a trusted web site. BEGIN QUOTE: "There are many myths about mixing alcohol and antibiotics and most of them are just myths and nothing more! It's one of the great myths that mixing antibiotics with alcohol can seriously mess you up.
Avatar f tn Its great that he quit smoking! He should not drink alcohol. Beer is really high in carbs and will elevate blood sugar tremendously. Ans as the other poster said, it will be very hard on kidneys. I agree that denial of diabetes is a really big factor with people at times!
Avatar f tn Besides the heavy-metal contamination issue, make sure that the friend who smoked the fish knows what he is doing regarding smoking it completely, i.e., not leaving it raw in the middle and then failing to refrigerate it. Raw fresh fish is not unhealthy (absent the heavy-metal issue), but raw fish that has sat out for days in the cupboard because someone thought it was completely smoked is not anything I'd eat, preggers or not.
187316 tn?1386356682 According to a few Chiropractors and Dr's (and from previous pregnancies) When you are somewhere between 11 and 14 weeks you start producing some hormone that makes you more flexible. Also, sometime in the second trimester your hormones start to cause your bones to move around (To make room for the baby). I know most of you may know your bones move, but wasn't sure if you knew it was the hormones that cause it.
10476455 tn?1423121400 Pumping and dumping doesn't work, the alcohol that shows up in your milk is directly related to the alcohol in your blood stream. No amount of pumping will make it come out faster than your body normally metabolizes (which is roughly one drink per hour) with that being said the alcohol in your milk is the same as that in you blood stream, not in your drink. If you have one glass of wine your breast milk will not be 12% alcohol like the wine was. It will be about 0.
4437866 tn?1388119624 We asked them to deconstruct the most common myths about pregnancy, some of which are propagated in extremely popular and well-regarded pregnancy books. Consider it our Mother’s Day present to moms-to-be. Myth #1: Cocoa butter prevents stretch marks. False. In fact using cocoa butter makes women’s skin more sensitive, and some women have allergic reactions to it. Dr. Park treated one woman who came in with bright pink circles on her breasts.

Avatar f tn Hopefully you have a good milk supply but when you drink you have to "pump and dump" to get the breastmilk with alcohol out of your system...
Avatar m tn Although alcohol does affect ferility, I don't think this would be a huge problem right now. I would, however, strongly suggest having her go to her obgyn and getting a full check up. It's better to know up front if there could be any problems and what you guys should or should not be doing.
Avatar m tn Hello. It's time you made your OWN decisions--not based on your friends or what you've heard, but on accurate data. You need facts, not misinformation. Everything you've heard is based on myths, not facts. And your bladder size, etc. are irrelevant. Here's some information for you. Read it and relax. First, there's no scientific evidence that there is any such thing as “over-masturbation” just as there’s no such thing as “under-masturbation.
