Transverse baby at 31 weeks?

OK so I know she still has time to turn, and I am really hoping she does. This is my first pregnancy and have read that it is rare for a baby to be transverse still (in first pregnancies) after 28 weeks, I could have wrong information though. Anyways I spoke to my doctor and she said that if by 36 weeks she has not moved to head down that they will do it manually, well I have read up on this and I don’t think I want to risk it as it could cause me to go into labour, its very painful and only works 50% of the time etc…I think I would rather just have a c-section if she doesn’t move by herself (I would rather a natural birth if at all possible, but not by them forcing her into position) Am I able to refuse this procedure, when my doctor mentioned it she didn’t make it sound like I had a choice.

Help! Please read!! Medical advice needed?

Hi

Apologies in advance for the rant!

OK so a really embarrassing thing happened to me today!! And I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this…

Lately, well within the last 6 months I’ve noticed a definite change in behavior in the week leading up to my period; I guess it’s just the changes in hormones that occur at this time. Funny thing is, I never used to get this before my period, a lot of women get mood swings etc (and everything else that’s common with the ‘curse’ each month) although I used to get a little tearful before and during my period I never experienced any other symptoms. I’m a little surprised in the sudden change because I started my periods when I was 11, I’m now 22 ..almost 23 (dear god save me from the ageing process!!) But all of a sudden (within the last 6 months) I’ve been having mood swings before my period, extra tearfulness (i mean, I dropped a pen at work and burst into tears?) also a male patient at workrse (i’m a Nurse) slapped my bum and I really yelled at him and consequently got a verbal warning. Usually prior to all of this I’d have handled these kinds of situations professionally… but lately I just seem to be so aggressive before my period! But this isn’t the worst part…I’ve also noticed I feel so horny just before and during my period too!! and I mean really horny or sexy (however you want to put it) I’ll give an example.. I went to see my GP today (just for a referral..I have a suspicious mole) and this GP is like 50 years old..not that attractive but suddenly I found myself noticing things about him that I hadn’t noticed before, like hies eyes, he has large hands, he’s oldish but he kind of has this boyish rebellion streak about him and I think he works out..and the next thing I’m imagining what he would look like without his shirt on..my hormones just completely took over! i felt like i wanted to jump on his lap!! And the most embarrassing is, I think he noticed I was starring at his crotch!!??

Look I know how this looks but I’m in a long term relationship, i love Chris very much and I am not sexually promiscuous, Chris is the only BF I’ve ever had and I’m very happy with him. And i would NEVER cheat on Chris, my point is, is it strange that my hormones are behaving like this all of a sudden? I was always taught MAJOR hormonal changes only occur during teenage years, before, during and after pregnancy?

I’m NOT pregnant by the way, by partner is in the Army and is away at present…also him being away is not the cause, it’s not a case of me, ‘not getting any’ (as my friend put it) that’s causing this!

I guess I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this, I kinda of approached the subject with my mother who is also a Dr and a GP, she though it was funny but didn’t really elaborate any further; other than to say it’s the bodies natural way of telling you it’s the right time to get pregnant, I am so embarrassed, what if that Dr noticed?? He gave me this strange look as I left and the worst thing is, I can’t remember a single thing he said during the entire consultation!! My attention was elsewhere!

Thanks for your comments and suggestions in advance

Are there any support groups out there for mothers with children affect by MMR’s?

My daughter was healthy and talking very very early. Then she had her needles done at 2 yrs. Seems the health department lost the paperwork and told me if I didn’t get them redone I would lose any benefits. I was a single mum and yes I did work but only part time. With in 2 weeks of having the second dose of needles my daughter stopped talking, stopped eating and basically went backwards. I never had any problems with her before, she never cried/sulked never threw tantrums,, she was just very content with her life and very well looked after.
I read on one site that this is mostly happening to uneducated mothers, well im educated and one of 7 children who all had their needles without dramas so I was not worried getting the first batch of MMR’s done.
My daughter is now nearly 4 1/2 and just had her MMR’s done again as I was told that she wouldn’t be allowed to go to school next year, however I still do believe in vaccinations as we can never be to safe against a new disease 🙂
I am looking for groups with the same situation, I need other like minded children for my daughter to play with as when we take her to play grounds the kids just stare at her because she is obviously different. She is overly excited around other children now and terrified to go down slides or climb things, another problem I didn’t have before the needles.
She is very computer smart, as we try to keep her brain active at all times, mainly me with my fingers crossed that by some miracle everything will switch back to how it was.

To people that say the needles didn’t cause it, you have no idea, you aren’t going through it everyday like the rest of us. And where it use to be 1 in 150 children diagnosed, it is in fact 1 in 50 now…. big jump don’t you think.
How can so many mothers be wrong, when you say its not true you are making out that we didn’t know our children before. Well I went through a normal pregnancy, a natural healthy birth and everything was perfect until that one single day 🙁 Now I have nights where I cry myself to sleep from guilt because it was my choice to get those needles done, and I worry what kind of life she is going to have.
Actually, i WAS made to have them done the second time, I have the paperwork. I tried to fight the health department when they got involved but they were the ones that said they would take away any benifits. I tried to tell them that I had already go the needles and they said there was no record and the doc’s surgery must have lost them. I went to the doctors and told him and while he remembered giving them to her there was nothing he could do. He told me that everything would be fine and the needles would be ok for her again. I said that I thought it was a bit much in the body but again everyone was positive it would be ok. It is these second needles that caused trouble, they were roughly 2 weeks appart.
There is no autism in our families, no diseases or developmental problems at all.
Thankyou all for you answers, it is much appreciated though 🙂

How to lower triglycerides/up good cholesterol?

I had gestational diabetes with all 3 pregnancies. It went away after the first two, but after the last pregnancy it didn’t and currently I have type 2 diabetes. I am under a doctor’s care, go see her every 3 months, but I’m not on medication right now, she’s giving me a chance to get rid of it by loosing weight. My cholesterol was also a little high (202, triglycerides 400 and good cholesterol was low 30), so I needed to lower that as well.
Since August 09 I have lost 35 lbsI just had blood work done and after months of working out/eating healthy my bad cholesterol is at 96, but my triglycerides are still high (396) and my good cholesterol is low (29).
I work out at home do videos for 30-45 min./5-6 days a week and eat healthy (whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy, good fats, flax seeds, natural foods)( but the triglycerides are not going down and the good cholesterol is not going up??? I still have @ 50 lbs to loose, but why arent the triglycerides going down? good cholesterol going up???What do I need to do?
