Is it true that stretching up high (like stretching your hands up high, like reaching for something that high) is bad? I'm hearing all these stories is bad because it can tangle the baby's umbilical cord around his neck. Is this true? Or is it just a old wive?
Because I stretch sometimes waking up & stretch up high to get something or turn off my light?.
My girlfriend and I have been together for 2 months now, and sometimes when I go over to her house we sit on her bed and make out, the last couple of times in particular I have put my hands down her pants, (she hinted that she wanted me to do this) but as we make out and I finger her, she puts her hand on my upper leg and sort of reaches for my zipper, at this time I nudge her back on the bed, and just try to pleasure her more to try and avoid her getting in my pants. ( I hate having to do this). I am just really worried because, being 16 (she is to) and my foreskin can't be fully retracted because the part of skin connecting my meatus (I think it's called) to my shaft is a bit short. I'm positive it's not my foreskin being too tight, but definitely that bit of skin, I think it's called a frenulum but not sure if that is correct spelling, but otherwise nicknamed the "banjo string" is too short. This concerns me a lot, that she will go to give me a blowjob or hand job, she sees my penis and gets put off all together, or just puts it back in my pants. What should I do? I have heard that stretching sometimes works, can anyone give me any stretching techniques or methods that I can do. I am really embarrassed about this and prefer not to tell my folks or see a doctor.

View 1 RepliesThis morning me and my boyfriend were messing around and we were both naked and I was rubbing his penis and it had precum on it and some might have touched my vagina. I'm really worried about pregnancy and mind you he never entered me. He also fingered me after touching his penis I'm not sure if it was the same hand.

I'm a hypothyroid patient since past 2 years and was on medication Thyroxine 50 mcg with regular GP.
However after I became pregnant and was tested for thyroid result were TSH 19 at week 7(thyroxin 100 mcg) and then TSH 12 at week 11 (thyroxine 125 mcg) adjusted by OB.
Thereafter I started referring to an endocrinologist who put me on thyronorm 150 mcg and my TSH was down to 2 at week 15. Subsequently monthly tests are showing normal range with regular follow-up and dosage adjustments.
From what I have been reading, I see that it should have been normalised in the first trimester itself as it affect's the baby's development. Can you please let me know if there's some tests that can be carried out asap (or new-born screenings) to know if baby has been negatively affected by this ? We want to ensure best possible care for baby once she is born so that it does not cause issues in later life.
I just got out the doctor's office and she told me my baby was too high and i am 1 cm what can i do for baby to drop

View 7 RepliesPregnant with my 5th baby and have had pretty crappy morning sickness I'm currently 16 weeks and since my first apt At maybe 7 weeks I've been showing a lot of protein in my urine, the first time it was 2+ and the the pat two times it was 3+ the last one was just today at my drs. My Dr is concerned because my actual urine analysis showed no signs of infections or illness at all besides this ton of protein always in my urine. She says its way to early for pre e and isn't really sure what's wrong so she is having my kidney function checked, she's is always checking all my sugars because I keep continually whiting out to the point of almost fainting every time I stand up! I've never experienced anything like this in any of my other children or even my m/c has anyone experienced very high urine protein levels and whiteouts and actually get a diagnosis? I am still pretty sick puking wise but nothing as bad as when I couldn't even keep down water at first .. Ok well now I'm rambling lol so any info or insight would be greatly appreciated im sort of freaking out as I don't even know what to expect. Does this mean I'm way more likely to get pre e once I hit my third trimester? Ugh I hate the unknown.

Is there anyone out that is pregnant or was pregnant that has/had diabetes type 2? I'm a little concerned about this and not sure what to do. My husbands tells me I'm a worry wart especially about my pregnancy but I don't think he realizes that being diabetic and and being pregnant is high-risk business.

View 1 Repliesi am not overweight. Drink a healthy smoothie and whole grain cereal almost every morning yet my BP is still high. (100/170). I was told it may be because of elevated insulin levels caused by the fruit drinks and whole grains (as well as the potato, rice, pasta and breads) that I eat. These are things that easily break down into sugars and cause the issue. (Basically a carb issue). Am I supposed to go on one of those caveman diets? Has anyone tried lowering their carb intake to lower their BP?
View 53 RepliesI'm 30w&3d pregnant. At my last appointment 2 weeks ago, I was told I had high/elevated blood pressure & at my appointment today It was the same, but a little higher than last time. I also had a trace of protein in my urine. I'm worried I'm going to have preeclampsia and was wondering if any other moms had these signs and everything ended up being okay or if they had preeclampsia...
View 2 RepliesLet me start off by saying I am a 20 year old male who was fine before all of this started. I went to the ER for chest pain and palpitations they did the basic test like EKG Xray and Blood work. The ER doctor said i was fine and they let em go home but said i need to see a cardiologist to just make sure everything was fine. So i went to see a cardiologist and the hospital faxed over all of my test results. Based on my ER visits EKG i have an abnormally high P wave everything else on the EKG was fine. They set me up for a Echocardiogram to make sure i did not have an enlarged heart. that test came back normal and they said i did not have a enlarged heart. They set me up for a Stress Echo test I went in for the test got my heart rate up to 200bpm the before and after pictures of my heart looked good and they said everything was working fine and that i was healthy. But during the test i still have those high P waves showing up on the EKG which he said was caused because I am very thin chested and my hear beats close to the surface of my chest so the EKG pick up a higher voltage. Now i have noticed a slight arrhythmia when i take my pulse it tends to beat at 60 bpm then 5 or 6 beats later it jumps to 80 bpm then back to 60 after 5 or so beats. This comes and goes and does not happen all the time and when it does happen it only last up to 30 minutes but during that time i feel fatigued . And finally my blood pressure seems high the systolic pressure is always within normal range its the diastolic that always above normal when i tested my blood pressure with a home blood pressure monitor today it was at 135 over 87 then when i tested it later on in the day it was 127 over 83 i have noticed in multiple test the diastolic seem to float around the mid 80's to 90's the highest i have seen is 133 over 99. The cardiologist does not see to think there is anything wrong with me I have another appointment this week to bring up the high blood pressure and the arrhythmia.

Recently been diagnosed with high cholesterol along with my high blood pressure. Was on atenolol and bendrofluazide but these weren't keeping my bp down so was put on lisinopril. I have had pains in my stomach since i started my new meds wake in the night with a jolt, am tired and feel weak all the time, i'm only 43 and not over weight. Has anyone else had these symptoms. I'm unsure what is causing what as every thing has changed all at once?
View 1 RepliesI am 21 years old. 4 months ago i noticed weakness in the grip of both of my hands. My chiropractor attributed it to 4 bulging discs that I have in my neck. 3 days ago I started feeling my hands tingling and going into spasms. The next day, my jaw felt tired, and the day after that my body started twitching uncontrollably in different area but mostly my legs. Are any of these signs indicative of ALS or can they be a result of stress related to worrying about ALS since most of the symptoms only appeared after I read about them?
