pLet's face it, even when trying to avoid all medications in pregnancy there is occasionally that really bad headache that makes you want to reach for the medicine cabinet. At least one study shows that some of the things in your medicine cabinet, particularly a category of medications called a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/medicationinpreg/a/nsaids.htmNSAIDs/a can lead to an increase in heart defects in your baby with first trimester use. That's enough to make you think twice!/p pPbr / The problem is that we don't have enough studies about medications that moms take in pregnancy. We know that about two thirds of pregnant women have had at least one medication in pregnancy. To meet the needs of pregnant women, the FDA announced the formation of a study to look at this issue through the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm195934.htmMedication Exposure in Pregnancy Risk Evaluation Program (MEPREP)/a. The data will be collected from birth data gathered from births over a seven year period beginning in 2007. Hopefully this will help us figure out what medications truly need to be avoided and which, if any, can more safely be used in pregnancy./p pstrongRelated:/strongbr / a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/medicationinpreg/a/medsinpreg.htmMedication Labels/a #124; a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/medicationinpreg/a/aa031801a.htmMedications that harm/a #124; a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/prenataltests/f/commonbd.htmCommon Birth Defects/a/p p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hczu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2009/12/31/new-look-at-medications-in-pregnancy.htm"New Look at Medications in Pregnancy/a originally appeared on a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hczu=http://pregnancy.about.com/"About.com Pregnancy & Childbirth/a on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 at 09:39:38./ppa href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hczu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2009/12/31/new-look-at-medications-in-pregnancy.htm"Permalink/a | a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hczu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2009/12/31/new-look-at-medications-in-pregnancy.htm#gB3"Comment/a | a href="http://pregnancy.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2009/12/31/new-look-at-medications-in-pregnancy.htmzItl=New Look at Medications in Pregnancy"Email this/a/p

pI had a discussion yesterday with someone about what maternity care rooms looked like at most hospitals. I said that I thought that the vast majority of hospitals offered a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/laborglossary/g/ldr.htmlabor, delivery and recovery (LDR) rooms/a or a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/laborglossary/g/ldrp.htmlabor, delivery, recovery and postpartum rooms (LDRP)/a - all single woman rooms. This is certainly true for all of the hospitals and birth centers I've been in around the US, even with high populations of indigent care. While I'm sure that there are still some shared postpartum rooms, I'd venture to say that these are a minority. So I want to know, what type of room will you give birth in?P/p pSCRIPT LANGUAGE= javaScript SRC=http://guidepolls.about.com/pregnancy/2089666445/poll.js?linkback=!--#echo var=SCRIPT_URI--/script /p P bRelated:/bP ul li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/consumerissues/a/hospitalint.htmHospital Interviews/a li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/postpartum/a/postpartumstay.htmIs there a right time to leave the hospital after a baby?/a/ulp style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hczu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2009/12/29/what-kind-of-rooms-does-your-hospital-offer.htm"What kind of rooms does your hospital offer?/a originally appeared on a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hczu=http://pregnancy.about.com/"About.com Pregnancy & Childbirth/a on Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 at 10:20:33./ppa href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hczu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2009/12/29/what-kind-of-rooms-does-your-hospital-offer.htm"Permalink/a | a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hczu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2009/12/29/what-kind-of-rooms-does-your-hospital-offer.htm#gB3"Comment/a | a href="http://pregnancy.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2009/12/29/what-kind-of-rooms-does-your-hospital-offer.htmzItl=What kind of rooms does your hospital offer?"Email this/a/p

Once, I thought I had found such a great fit for us. We decided to go to a concert and I was so excited. It was the first time I'd left my son in the care of someone that wasn't family or friends. He was 7 months old and I was a bit nervous, but he was a pretty easy baby at the time, so no worries, right?

pimg src=http://z.about.com/d/pregnancy/1/0/C/n/3/Fotolia_8343016_XS.jpg pIn an pregnancy that is perfect normal and healthy, there seems to be some confusion on the part of women as to what constitutes a safe time line for giving birth. This really stood out to me:/p blockquotepIn response to, 'What is the earliest point in pregnancy that it is safe to deliver the baby, should there be no other medical complications requiring early delivery?' 51.7% choose 34-36 weeks of gestation, and 40.7% choose 37-38 weeks of gestation, while only 7.6% choose 39-40 weeks of gestation./p /blockquote pThe truth is that a 75% of women couldn't even correctly give the answer for the definition of full term. The authors of the survey have concluded that women really don't know what full term is or when it is safe to deliver a baby. These perceptions are probably involved in the high rates of elective inductions, despite the fact that the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has declared 39 weeks the bare minimum for elective deliveries because of safety factors for the baby./p pPbr / bRelated:/bP/p ul li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/duedates/a/duedates.htmDue Dates/a li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancycalendar/l/blpregcalc.htmDue Date Calculator/a li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/gettingpregnant/p/duedate.htmWhen is my baby due?/a /ul psubSource:/sub/p psub Women's Perceptions Regarding the Safety of Births at Various Gestational Ages.

As a last resort, a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://nutrition.about.com/od/nutritionforchildren/a/kidssupplemnts.htmuse a vitamin supplement or multivitamin/a if you feel you're having a hard time getting enough of these foods into his diet.
