I feel for you, my husband had to do a low iodine diet and it was a pain in the ass. Luckily he only needed to do it for 3 weeks.

There is a video by healthcare triage on you tube that talks about the sodium thing. It basically says doctors have a habit of thinking that what’s good for one population (people with hypertension in regards to sodium) is good for everyone. There are studies that show low sodium is more dangerous than higher sodium…

Almost all of the GYN/OB practices I’ve been to have CNM on staff as well as doctors. Your insurance doesn’t cover it any differently. The cost of doulas really varies based on where you are and what services you want.

Some people just shouldn’t be dealing with people I’ve had good and bad GYN’s and good and bad CNM’s. The last CNM I went to was terrible and gave me bad advice. She’s not at my practice any more so I don’t think I was the only one who had issues with her. Granted I am moving to a new office anyway in part because of…

I believe a least one of the Duggar girls was a lay midwife in AR. So I’m guessing it’s not much.

Yeah, those text messages on the day of his death and the weeks before are mind blowing. I only had to deal with my inner voice telling me those types of things as a teenager I don’t know what I would have done if someone else was saying them to me too.

I’ve had good luck with SSRIs (Celexa which is like the chemical opposite of Lexapro) and SNRIs. Just remember that they aren’t instantaneous so they’ll take a few weeks to work. Celexa made me really hungry but Lexapro is supposed to be better about it. If you have side effects don’t be afraid to let your doctor know…

I remeber being very excited for these when I saw them in the store and then being very very disappointed when I ate them.

Well the article clearly states he’s 24 so a full 10 years older than the girls he victimized and well past “school age”. I was 2 years out of college at 24 and didn’t have any desire to hang out with someone starting high school.

Ummmm I’ve gotten several speeding tickets all by lone cops and none of them have ever asked me to come sit with them. They’ve just gone back to their car/bike by themselves with my ID while I chill in my car.

It can lead to ovarian cancer so I would guess that’s not an issue for you and gold bond and most other body powders don’t use talc anymore.

I have no problem with her being in a relationship that she enjoys. I’m just saying it makes her earlier book BS. She put herself out as an expert on love and relationships based on her “saving” her marriage after infidelity when she knew at some level it was a bad relationship not worth saving. I’m really not…

I thought her whole thing was being a love warrior and sticking with her unfaithful spouse. It rings kind of hollow if she ended up leaving anyway. I have only read one blog post of hers and after that actively avoided her so I may be wrong.

I had a uterine polyp removed the doctor gave me script for 15 oxys. The only pain reilf I ended up using was a heating pad. I know everyone’s pain tolerance is different but that is just ridiculous to be the standard.

“It wasn’t her safety call she said after the fact she was talking to a friend that was fighting with her boyfriend. I can see saying it during the date to GTFO but not in the first statement she made afterward. I mean he is a creep and it’s better she left but it wasn’t an “oh no I have to go my friend needs me”…

It doesn’t it assumes if you’re young their good quality and drops as you get older. Really anyone could have low-quality eggs there is no great way to tell. My perspective is from someone going through fertility treatment which is a numbers game, more follicles mean more eggs which should mean more mature eggs, more…

There isn’t a super reliable way but you can get an idea from antral follicle count and FSH levels.

Do you realize how inconsequential those things are compared to the small lessons you teach your kid day in and day out? Think about driving a car do you think a 16-year-old doesn’t come to the driver’s seat with years of lessons already learned from the back seat.

You know you can do that as well it’s not an inherently female thing. And it’s not like it’s something you have to sit down and discuss. Years ago while watching a reality show with my husband there was a scene where guys were chasing down girls and physically forcing kisses on them. There was a name for it that I…

But you could model being a good person, partner, friend ect. to either sons or daughters. You don’t need to do anything differently based on sex.
