Question #1:
need some advice on abortion?
Hey, I wanna start off by saying please don't bash me for this.I recently found out that i was pregnant, me and my partner had been trying for our second child.
Also though i have recently found out that i have a problem with my heart. The doctor needs to do more tests to find out more about it. He told me that being pregnant may or may not make the problem worse but he is worried it will. He gave me the option of having an abortion, while i am pro-choice - for myself i could never do it. I honestly don't know what to do. I am 8 weeks pregnant tomorrow so i need/want to make my decision fast. Has anyone been through this? or have any advice for me? Although my partner is upset he will support the decision that i make.
Thank you :)
Thank you all so much for your kind and supportive answers.. I was worried about getting some nasty answers..
This heart problem is new and i didn't have it when i was pregnant with my son.. Waiting for the results does sound like the smartest thing to do, it's just the longer i wait the harder i think it will be..
Thanks again i really appreciate it :)
Question #2:
If you are a fireman do you play "firemen" with your kids. Or whatever job you do. You know what I mean.?
I am an artist. I always thought I would be super excited about teaching my little one how to draw and paint. But, every time we sit down to the paper I get incredibly bored and am just not into it. I would rather do play-doh, play doctors, play with her horses, run around, cook....whatever. Just not painting. My father was the same way. He is a doctor. Never wanted anything to do with kids and doctor stuff, even though we were really insistent. Is it the same with you and your kids. If so, why do you think it is?Question #3:
My 'best' friend thinks she's better than me?
Okay well since I was a kid I've wanted to be a make-up artist. (Like theatrical and media stuff) I always thought it'd be a fun job and it will put my art skills to use. About a month or two ago my best friend, (who lives in America, I'm in England, she moved a few years back) randomly out of the blue asked what I'm doing after college. Now, firstly, in college they told me if I don't do hair after I've learned theatrical make-up it's alot harder to get a job etc. So I said maybe hair. And she told me it's kind of mediocre and she is not convinced I want to do this as a job. Apparently I never mentioned it to her as a kid? This annoyed me so much 'cause she said I should choose a career that will always be needed, like she did. (She wants to become a doctor. She spent her whole childhood banging on about being a vet though?) She obviously thinks she's better than me because of her job choice. What would you do in a situation like this, 'cause although it was a couple of months ago she said this I'm still annoyed by it now :/OH I forgot, she also said that it's a tough industry and she doubts I will succeed :|
Peggy S that was a great answer but I told her if I believe in myself I can do it and she said 'this isn't peter pan, this is real life' ://

"Pain & Suffering" Insurance Compensation For Auto Accident?
Hi Folks,My husband was injured July 30 an a T-bone car accident in northern California. Other driver ran a red traffic signal. Due to an independent witness, the CHP investigation confirmed that my husband was not at fault. The other driver was not injured.
Husband was removed from the vehicle and transported unconscious by Medics to the ED, and Doctors determined that he had a concussion and a broken clavicle. He woke up about 90 minutes after the accident, did not have any brain damage, and was discharged later that evening.
He spent two weeks recovering at home (bruised and in pain). Then he went back to work on light duty for a few weeks, and is now on unrestricted duty. Except for some minor shoulder pain that is getting better every day, he seems fine now.
Other driver's insurance carrier called and admitted that their client was at fault. They will reimburse our insurance carrier for the amount paid for totaling our vehicle, our $500 insurance deductible, the full cash value for the 2 weeks of sick leave used, and minor incidentials (such the cost of replacing his clothes that were cut off at the ED, a new pair of eyeglasses, and mileage to and from the Hospital for follow-up visits).
Can my husband get anything for "pain & suffering" from the insurance carrier? Should he even bother asking? If so, what would a "reasonable" amount be considered?
We aren't interested in getting a lawyer nor filing a lawsuit. We're actually glad that the accident wasn't worse, and would be fine with getting paid for our deductible, his glasses, his clothes, and the sick leave used... but still, it never hurts to ask.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Question #11:
I Got A Chemical Burn From A Bandaid, How Is This Possible?
I cut my finger last thursday. It wasnt anything big, so i just washed it and put a bandaid on it, no cream or anything. The next day, my finger(pinky) was burning & it was HUGE. Puss kept running out of it so i sprayed bactine on it to prevent an infection. The next day it was no better, so i put neosprorin(antibiotic kind) on it and it still didnt help. So i scheduled a doctors appointment and she said that it was a chemical burn and prescribed me this creme called Bactroban. HOW DID I GET IT?Question #12:

Question #14:
Career as an Actuary?
I received a Bachelor of Science in Economics with honors last December. I was only one class away from a minor in Mathematics...I took Calculus 1-3, Differential Equations, and other quantitative classes like Mathematical Economics, Econometrics. I want a career that pays well and one where I have the autonomy to control my advancement, so being an Actuary appeals to me. While I do not have all of the stats background I need, I am currently taking online exam prep seminars to augment my knowledge.1. How much can Fellows of the CAS of SOA make? I have heard that with salary, bonuses, incentives it can total around $150,000.
2. Would you say this is a career field where I can control my advancement (by passing exams)?
3. Is this a career that has a great earnings/work ratio? High salary but 8 to 5 job once you pass exams...compared to a doctor who has a high salary but a lot of hours.
4. Will I be able to use my business knowledge in the actuarial field?
5. Is it true that this is a low stress job?
Question #15:
doctor say that my tube is blocked to conceive.why do l do next.?
Question #16:
SHOULD I be eating more?
So I am a 19 year old female I workout 6 days a week 3 days cardio and 3 days weight training.I am 5'5 and weigh 123 lbs. I stopped getting my period due to too much excersising and also lost about 9-10 lbs due to my excersising and eating habbits. I am waiting to go to a doctor to get things checked out.
I only eat dessert twice a week, otherwise I eat 3 meals a day and a small snack in the afternoon. I eat all organic and no hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrups.
Do you think I need to eat more? or what should I be doing differently if anything? I could add more desserts per week?
Question #17:
What are the chances Ciprofloxacin can cause long QT syndrome?
I am a 24 yr old male who is almost done with a 10 day regimen of Cipro. I am not worried about most of the side effects just this sudden death long Qt syndrome. What are the chances I could acquire it? I don't have any history of it that I am aware of, it's pretty scary thinking you can have it develop from an antibiotic. If I do develop it how do I know, should I really request my doctor test me for it after I am done with this med or can it develop over time from the med? I'm confused. Thanks.I take Klonopin for anxiety, someone said that could make my chances higher but then another pharmacist said it's fine?
Question #18:
Clomid and IUI didn't work. What should a 40 year old do next?
I have no diagnosis. Ovarian reserve is good. DH's sperm is good. Thyroid and other initial labs to rule out other medical conditions are good. Had the X-ray and dye study of my tubes done, and that looked good. Did ONE round of Clomid, Ovidrel injection and IUI. Day 10 ultrasound before the injection looked good, although my uterine lining seemed a little thin...Doctor thought it might just be too early. Period came at 8:30 PM on the 12th day following IUI (exactly 14 days after the injection).Because I am 40, the doctor doesn't want to linger too long on something that didn't work. He's suggesting Femera and Ovidrel and IUI with 1 ultrasound OR several FSH injections (I thought he said Anopure, but I can't find that by looking it up) and 3 ultrasounds and IUI for this next round.
The former is cheaper. Insurance doesn't cover fertility at all. Not sure what I should do next. Twins would scare me on so many levels. Any advice?
Question #19:
55+ senior condos/housing rules?
do the grandchildren who takes care of their grandparents living in these 55+ condominiums needs to get a medical permit from the doctor so they can be with their grandparents? thanksQuestion #20:
pooping during childbirth?
i'm 7 months pregnant (first time) and have heard from a lot of people that it's common to poop while pushing out the baby. well i know doctors and nurses see it all the time, but obviously i'd like to avoid it if i can.so can i just poop while in labor? or would they not let me? because that would get all of that out of the system
