Placenta Accreta Definition Symptoms Traits Causes Treatment

Research suggests that up to 7% of women with this condition may die as a result of PAS, and up to 60% experience significant complications. However, these rates are reduced with expert medical care and diagnosis of the condition prior to childbirth. Two related complications of the placenta that are even more severe are placenta increta and placenta percreta.

Positive Pregnancy Test After A Miscarriage

How a Pregnancy Test Works Pregnancy tests detect the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the blood or urine. Most of the time, hCG is only in a person’s body during pregnancy, so a test is usually fairly conclusive for pregnancy. There are some rare ovarian tumors that secrete hCG, but these are extremely uncommon. However, after an embryo or fetus stops growing and a miscarriage occurs, the hormone does not disappear from a person’s body right away....

Prenatal Genetic Testing What To Ask Your Doctor

More: Will My Child Be Athletic? A Genetic Explanation 1.

Recognizing Postpartum Depression

Proactive Possibilities But there is another situation that is important to consider. When a woman gives birth her body is subject to tremendous hormonal changes. These changes can disrupt her system, resulting in a postpartum depression that will not work itself out over time. It is actually a very serious matter, and can have some very serious consequences if left undiagnosed and untreated. For example, it is not uncommon for a marriage to split up if the mother suffers from undiagnosed, and therefore, untreated, postpartum depression....

Repaying Your Student Loan

Generally, a federal student loan is repaid in fixed monthly amounts of at least $50 per month over a fixed period of time (as long as 10 years). The time your child has to repay the loan depends on how much she has borrowed. Obviously, the shorter the repayment period, the lower her total interest payments will be. She always has the option of paying her loan more quickly, or paying it off in full, whenever she chooses....

Some mothers see an increase in their milk supply while using this method, while most see no difference, and a few will see a decrease....

Safety Tips For Working With Metal

Don’t grasp metal pieces tightly. A light grip will prevent cuts and slices. Never run your fingers along the raw edge. When using a tin snip or other cutting tool, keep the cutter deep in the cut as you move along. Avoid making short cuts and creating small burrs along the cut line. Beginners might want to wear gloves for protection, but you can get a better feel for metalcraft without them, so as soon as you’re familiar with the tools and materials you’ll probably want to work bare-handed....
