<font color="0000ff">Induced Births Cut Toll of Preeclampsia, Study Finds
2006-09-19 16:02 (New York)
By Courtney Dentch
Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The number of fetuses and newborns who
die because of a condition their mothers develop while pregnant has
fallen as doctors perfect their timing in inducing labor, a new
study shows.
Doctors in Norway are inducing deliveries earlier for pregnant
women with preeclampsia, a condition marked by high blood pressure
and protein in the urine, boosting survival for both mothers and
their babies, according to the study, published today by the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
Doctors have been trying to balance the need to give a baby as
much time as possible in the womb with the medical strain on the
mother.
``There have been great advances in timing the delivery, so it
benefits the baby and the mother,'' said Olga Basso, one of the
study's authors and a researcher at the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences in North Carolina. ``As the mother
crashes, the baby will crash, too.''
The study reviewed Norwegian records for single births to
first-time mothers from 1967 to 2003 to compare incidents of
preterm births and induced labors for women with preeclampsia and
rates of infant survival. It found that while the percentage of
induced labors before 37 weeks rose to 20 percent from 1991 to 2003
from 8 percent in 1967 to 1978, stillbirths fell to 1.3 per 1,000
babies born in the later time span from 4.2 in the earlier period,
Basso said.
8 Percent of Pregnancies
Preeclampsia affects as many as 8 percent of all pregnancies
and typically occurs after 20 weeks of gestation, although it can
occur earlier, according to the Preeclampsia Foundation, a
nonprofit research and education advocate based in Bellevue,
Washington. High blood pressure and protein in the urine are often
accompanied by swelling, sudden weight gain, headaches and changes
in vision, and can cause illness and death in the mother and the
baby.
``There's not really a science to treating preeclampsia,''
said Eleni Tsigas, chairwoman of the foundation's board. ``All
you're really doing is monitoring it because it can go from mild to
severe very quickly.''
The condition is responsible for 76,000 deaths a year, the
group said.
Medical advances, including better care of premature babies
and improved access to prenatal care, have helped push down the
overall number of infant deaths, including those related to
preeclampsia, Basso said. Early detection of the condition through
a noninvasive test, as well as improved fetal monitors, have also
helped, although there is no way to prevent it.
``Just delivering the babies isn't enough,'' Tsigas said. ``We
really need to find a way to prevent preeclampsia.''

gemini,
Pooing is not really one of the symptons. But you got to observe, if you suddenly got LS or pooing (like a few times), this is the time that our bodies are clearing the bowels. Then after that, you will feel like want to poo but nothing comes out. This is one of the symptons that you got to observe.
babygrace,
hee hee... if you gal wanna come out early also no choice. Anyway, wait for the big day!
crystallized,
Looks like your boy will come out full term. Maybe few days before your EDD. Why ah? Wanna meet me at TMC is it? kekeke...
By the way, my BH getting stronger and stronger... Just now pain till my tears came out... Now I'm starting to get confuse... dunno is BH or BB's movement or contractions!
Selina,
Open up the package to check if all parts are there. Then try to see if the motor works. I tot you collecting on 29 Sep wor. I may intend to collect it early too since I'm seeing gynae on 25 Sep, thinking to drop by to collect (since I will pass by Infantree) on my way from office to gynae's clinic.
Did you call them up to inform you collecting early? Or just pop by?
Selina, crystallized,
Wah liew, from the way you gals talk, is Vivian's boy big or small? Make me very curious leh.
coolcoolmum,
So the Ace Baby carseat you bought, the words is in Japanese or English? Winnie and the staff in Kiddy Palace told me Japanese wordings is the old batch stock. New stock is the English words. And becos of the English words, the price increase by $10!

since i might go for induction next week or so, i thought better collect early to be on the save side. hb was ard that area yesterday so i called up to tell them i collecting it so they say ok.
tks for your advice, i will go open it later and try out. i tried the motor yesterday and it works but did not open the packet with all the funnels etc. hb said the person told him there's an extra valve inside.
wait till vivian post. u will b surprised

Hi Jenny
You should be now in your 36 weeks already right?
I am now in my 34 weeks already.
I am also feeling very heavy and tired easily.
My doctor said that my baby gal is now very low but not yet engaged and might come out earlier. Maybe she might come out on week 36 (like my son).
What did your doctor say?
Regards

hi hi coolcoolmum..
i managed to find this from the internet..
http://www.americanpregnancy.org/labornbirth/mucusplug.html
What does a mucus plug look like?
A mucus plug may be clear, slightly pink or blood tinged in color. It may be stringy mucus or sticky discharge. Some women may not even notice the loss of their mucus plug because there is already so much vaginal discharge during pregnancy.

What will it look like if I lose my mucus plug?
When you lose your mucus plug, it may be a little or a lot of gel like material. It will may be in a glob, stringy or just wetness. The mucus plug is clear to yellow-brownish in color, but may also be pinkish.

hi jenny,
thks for ur feedback on the pooing. Will observe the no of times that i go. Now after lunch, feeling tightness at both sides of my tummy.
Hi wendy/coolcoolmum,
my discharge is yellow-brownish which is slightly more watery than mucus. I thought it's like those "bai-tai" before preggie cos I have this problem. I was wondering whether it's due to the food/tea that I take, too liang for me so resulted in discharge.
Hi coolcoolmum,
same as u, my hb & i was telling bb to come out on 1 Oct (Children Day) or 10 Oct (ba yue shi wu), easier to remember...

Dunno leh, the contractions now make me very blurred! Not like this for my last pregnancy wor. My legs are very swollen today, and my tummy very tight (like going to explode) and pain. The lower part also pain, sometimes pain till I can't walk.

Yup, in my 36th week now (my first gal was born on week 36th, won't be so qiao bah?). I haven't see my gynae yet, so dunno if bb engaged or not. Dun wan to go see him now to make myself more worried. Just spoken to my mum when I went back during lunch time just now, she told me "when is time to due, you will know one lah". I guess I shall wait and see for now. Dun think so fast hor?

Just checked with a few colleagues, they all said is intense BH. Shouldn't be real contractions. Though gynae is very near my home, but the waiting time can kill.

the raffles mooncakes are those typical lian rong type lor. Raffles place has quite alot of stalls selling mooncakes now.
I haven't receive any letter from TMC also leh.
Ya, do agree that the waiting time at Dr Ang's clinic is terrible. Sometimes not according to queue somemore...Mayb u can call the clinic if u still feel very comfortable? If the nurses can't answer u, they'll transfer the call to Dr Ang. Last time I asked about chix pox, they also transferred call to him.
yesterday bought the Toyogo 804-5. Think only difference is 5 drawers instead of 4 drawers. Ok lah. Our bedroom very small, so taller cupboard better lor. Btw, did u buy video cam? Any recommendations?

Hi all MTBs
I'm new to this thread though I did "bump' into Jenny in the another thread. Am also seeing Dr Ang at Sun Plaza and due in Oct06.
Jenny & Janice
I just received the TMC letter 2 days ago and posted the pre-admission form back to them yesterday. Yours should be on the way to your post box soon.
Jenny
You seriously can tahan the intense BH hor? If in doubt, call the clinic any time before 6pm. The call will most probably be forwarded to Dr Ang's mobile. I did that before and he answered the call. But this is last resort lah.

Hi Jenny
Okie, you let me know the outcome after your visit to your doctor on next Monday.
How long were you in labour when you had your eldest gal?
I heard people say that normally for the 2nd child it will be faster but dont know whether is it true or not?
Regards

actually i dont feel my tummy tightening or shrinking. i only feel that it is tight when i use my hands to stroke my tummy then i feel the shape of my baby. after awhile when i stroke it again i feel my skin soft soft liao and the bum not there any more. this is the first time i notice it actually. not sure if u get what i mean.

Hi Jenny
My EDD is 26 Oct. Will be seeing Dr Ang this Fri nite to review the position of the twins. One of them already turned head down at 28wks. The other princess still sitting comfortably butt down leh. Boh bian... If she doesn't turn by this Fri, Dr Ang will schedule me for C-section after 2 weeks. I'm hoping to deliver naturally.
Hi jackiejon & wtan
I'm happy to have 2 princesses. Thinking of "closing shop" after this. Scared next pregnancy also twins, then I will be super "gong" (confused on teochew)! Hehehe...

Welcome dorayaki.
Janice, I bought a JVC camcorder. The one with harddrive so I can record up to 7hrs at one go with highest quality. If adjust to lower quality like DVD, it can last even longer.
