t smoke, do exercise, am thin). My doctor put me on a diuretic, Tekturna and Bystolic, and within a week I had completely lost my sense of taste! Anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it's a side effect that will wear off if I just stick it out. The combination seems to be working well to lower my bp and hr but I'm losing weight (a bad thing) and really, really miss food!
Early detection is very important in colon cancer, and despite what anyone tells you, it is not necessarily an indication of poor diet. Some people have a genetic predisposition to colon cancer. Be sure your doctor knows about your family history and get tested. It can save your life.
Lisinpril can cause a chronic cough and you should stop this medication to see how the cough changes. It may be replaced with valsartan or candesartan which do not usually cause this side effect. The verapamil usually does not cause this side effect. This may not be related to your medications, and chronic cough or ' bronchial asthma' may actually be cardiac in nature ( e.g. CHF). Make sure your physician takes this other consideration into account.
) So im wondering if anacephaly is genetic? Is there anything I can do to prevent it? I figure im very early in pregnancy so maybe I can do something extra to insure it doesnt happen. I dont want to ask my cousin because I hate to bring up her loss.
Any info is appreciated!
Having bipolar disorder myself, I usually check into this sort of thing. The last I heard they suspect a genetic link as mental illnesses do seem to run in families, but that doesn't mean that your son will definitely have it.
For instance, my paternal great grandmother either had schizophrenia or bipolar type I (It's hard to determine since I never knew her and only have stories to go off of, and nothing was diagnosed since this was pre-psychiatric help being normal.).
We refused all genetic testing. We already have DS in our immediate family so already had the 'what if' discussion before we conceived. Testing would make no difference to our decisions.
Today I was told that there was a shadow in my baby's heart, that could mean my baby will have a genetic abnormality or it could be nothing so I have to get another ultrasound. I'm really worried for my baby :/
Has anyone else been told the same?
Im 13weeks and im around the time frame docs usually want to do the genetic testing. This my second pregnancy and ive had it done before. Its just blood amd maybe and ultrasound. Well my hubby doesnt agree to get it done. And i want to were just bumping heads.
I decided to not get the genetic defects test and cystic fibrosis test done just because I've had miscarriages before and don't want to stress if something comes back positive because there can be false positives. I want to be prepared but then again don't want to stress the whole pregnancy and risk losing my little one. Any other mommies decide to not get tests done?
I'm 13 wks along and just had my first ultrasound and they did blood work for genetic testing. I won't find out the results till later this week. Everything looked fine in the ultrasound. I'm pretty sure everything will b fine but there's always that scary feeling there could b something wrong. is anyone else doing genetic testing? Has anyone had it come back with results saying there was something wrong? What potential problems can they find other than down syndrome?
(Adopted) I am just wondering if there is any other moms out there with the possibility of passing a genetic mutation down to there baby. I have TSC and I am the first in my family to have this and I also have a 50/50 chance of passing this on to my baby. I am super happy to be pregnant but I am stressed for what the future might hold. I had ultrasound at 7 weeks and 1 day and baby looked great HB was 144 which tech. Said is good. Thanks for reading just looking for other moms support!
has anyone known genetic testing to give you the wrong sex of your baby?it's not the ambiotic fluid test in the blood test.
Did anyone with clean family history opt out of genetic testing? Cystic fibrosis, down syndrome......
A lot of times they will recommend you meet with a genetic counselor if any of your early screenings come back as high risk, if you have a strong family history of certain genetic problems, if you are of advanced maternal age, or if you and dad are both carriers of a genetic trait....
I am 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby and having a very difficult time make a decision regarding genetic testing. Can u please share your experinces/decisions ? Thank u!
So I got results back today for my genetic test and they are sayin 3/4 chromosomes are affected..she said it's not down syndrome and that it can just be something simple or a false positive, has anyone ever had a false positive???
Big brothers are 4 yr and 9 months. My dr had blood drawn for genetic testing (downs syndrome and others) to make sure this baby is healthy and also to determine the sex of baby. I am a little nervous about this test and what it might show. My last pregnancy was horrible. Had to have and emergency c - section at 36 weeks because of ruptured placenta. I now have to wait 3-4 weeks for the results. I am going crazy. Is anyone else going through this.
I'm only 4 weeks but today was the first day I met with my obgyn. The doctor asked me if I would want to do genetic testing on the baby eventually. Did anyone else do this?
