Pregnancy Health Concerns: Hemorrhoids & Prenatal Care - Seeking Advice

Question
Hey Dawn Andrews,

Okay now that thats out of the way i can sorta relax, i can't believe that i have hemmoroids though, anyways i see my public health nurse today around 2pm and i am gonna talk to her about this and see if she could call a certain place up for me and see if im able to get in and get tested and whatnot, i would like to make another prenatal visit with my doctor, the problem is i do not have my health card(lost & reported) and in order for me to get a new one i need to wait til my replacement sin card comes and then go get a library card to go get my health card so id need to fill out another waiver so anyways i will go and do that then cause its a must.
Could we be friends too? please let me know k and as for the prunes i really dont like them eh' but if it will help then i guess i will get some.

thanks again

Hi Angela,
Try the lemon or orange essence prunes, the taste covers that prune taste quite well. It is the only way I will eat them. I'm glad you are making sure to get into your appointments. Your prenatal visits are so important for the baby and for you. Women don't realize how delicate a pregnancy is until something goes wrong, I know until I lost my son, I had no idea so many things could go wrong and sometimes for no apparent reason. They never found out what caused his birth defect that caused kidney damage and lung damage and eventually ended his life. I always thought okay you get pregnant and carry the baby and give birth. I am a large girl 5'9+" and large boned. I always thought I was made for having babies. I have two daughters and have been pregnant 7 times and have only had two successful births. In my first three pregnancies I had no idea I was pregnant and therefor wasn't taking any multi vitamin with folic acid which is a must for all women of child bearing years. This helps greatly reduce the risk of deformities for the baby if taken throughout the first trimester. If you have friends that are sexually active or might be in the near future tell them to take one with folic acid. Scientists believe that if all women of child bearing years were to take a multivit with folic acid the rates of birth defects such as spina bifida to name one would drop drastically.

As for being friends I will give you my email so you can put it on your account and email me directly. And I expect to see pics of baby when he or she arrives. My email is AndrewsMD@msn.com. When you send me your first email to my account make sure to put It's Angela as your title, because I have junk mail filter and it will send yours directly to my junk mail file and if I don't see something telling me I know the person sending the email it goes in the trash (we get too much unsolicited porn, enlarge your you know what, etc. emails) but then I will put you on my safe list and then you will go directly to my main in box after that. Make sure you keep up with your appointments, I'm one to talk I need to get my one year olds shots up to date, oh yeah and the cats. We have moved to California in November and now we are moving back to Oregon at the end of this week, to my parents house for a month and then onto our own place. Boy am I behind on the basics such as getting my daughter in for her shots. Bad Mommy! Bad! I hope you are taking the time to rest, it's important to do this for yourself and baby. I will talk to you later. Don't worry about the move my parents are connected to the internet so I will still be able to answer emails. I will be without a computer from this Friday until probably Monday though just so you know I'm not ignoring you if I don't answer back on those days. I'll talk later and go lay down or eat some prunes or something. Hehe!

God Bless,

Dawn
