In the past 9 years, I have had 3 normal pregnancies and healthy children. While the pregnancies were all normal and complication-free, I had all the different feelings going through both my mind and body. Between muscle and joint pain, there is also weight gain (in my case, this was quite substantial) causing physical discomfort. I never considered that there was any way of gaining some relief. I now know there is! It is a...more
Anyone who has had a luxury massage is a lucky person. I, personally, was the tester person for a lady who was learning. I worked at a health club and she needed volunteers. I, as the low person on the totem pole, was elected to be the subject of a massage. I had no idea what a therapeutic massage involved. Well, this was no therapeutic massage. I had to put up with the noise of two rowdy little boys while their mother practiced on...more
How great to be pregnant! It's a time of joys and challenges. There are so many aches and pains, such discomfort. Though we are gaining weight, have muscle and joint pain, we are elated. What can we possibly do to alleviate this? I recently heard about pregnancy massage. What a luxury! During my pregnancies, I wish I had heard of this. In most circumstances, pregnancy massages can be a great relief and comfort.When pregnant, we all know that we must, not only take care of ourselves, but also of the new baby growing within us. We have many feelings, some of them stress, anxiety, depression, as well as joy of the wonders and challenges ahead. All these feelings are normal, and can be alleviated a bit, unbeknownst to us through a pregnancy massage.The many symptoms of pregnancy can be reduced by an appropriate pregnancy specialist. These specialists are also known as pre-natal specialists. She/he will have appropriate pillows that are needed to support the baby, and will know the proper positioning to make you most comfortable, and to keep the baby safe and healthy. When having a massage when pregnant, deep tissue massage is not recommended, as it may do harm.One...more

When a baby with a Group B Strep infection does not immediately receive antibiotics the results can be devastating. Because of this it is critical for doctors to consider GBS if a baby presents with signs of an infection and either rule it out with diagnostic testing or comply with the treatment guidelines. It is therefore crucial that physicians quickly diagnose a baby with signs of a Group B Strep infection and administer antibiotics without delay.Here, an expecting mother was screened for Group B Strep between the 35th and 37th week of her pregnancy. The results of the screening were positive for the Group B Strep bacteria. Given this result, while the woman was in labor at the hospital the staff properly administered antibiotics. Yet, even with this prophylactic use of antibiotics while the mother was in labor, it is nevertheless possible for the baby to acquire Group B Strep. Her baby appeared healthy at birth. In this case, six weeks later the baby developed signs of infection and the baby's mother took the baby to a pediatrician who observed that the baby had a high temperature. Regrettably, the pediatrician failed to review the prenatal records and thus did...more
