For example, if you refrained from taking the MMR vaccine, or if your parents decided to forgo it while you were a child, you might want to get it now that you are pregnant. Alternatively, you may have gotten blood work done and found out that your immunity to one or more of the viruses covered under the MMR vaccine has waned. Unfortunately, getting the MMR vaccine during pregnancy is not an option, says Jennifer Jolley, MD, an OB-GYN with UCI Health and associate clinical professor....

The powerful ingredient offers a long list of benefits and is found in everything from acne-fighting cleansers to anti-aging serums. In fact, the AHA is so ubiquitous that you may not even realize it’s in some of your favorite products, and it likely wouldn’t occur to you to question its use at different stages in your life. When you’re pregnant, all of the habits and routines you once knew well come into question, and using glycolic acid is no exception....

To set the record straight about this skin-loving ingredient, we tapped two board-certified dermatologists to get their expertise on using hyaluronic acid while pregnant. Keep reading to learn all about what hyaluronic acid is, whether it’s pregnancy-safe, and what its key benefits are. If you’re not already a fan, you may become one. What Is Hyaluronic Acid? Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a water-loving molecule found naturally in our bodies. It has a unique ability to attract and retain 1,000 times its weight in water....

The interval is generally longer for vaginal deliveries, ranging from a few minutes to more than an hour. In modern times, if the time period extends much beyond that, doctors elect to perform a C-section for the second baby, fearing distress or the risk of infection. However, some studies make a case against this practice. Learn more about twins born on different days. Delayed Interval Births In some cases, a delayed interval birth takes place when one multiple is delivered prematurely, but doctors are able to halt labor and keep the remaining multiple(s) in their mother’s womb to grow and develop....

However, it’s understandable that the thought of your baby not being able to breathe, even though he can, while he’s nursing can be stressful. If you worry about your baby’s nose getting covered, here are a few things you can try.​ Use your finger to gently press down on your breast near the baby’s nose. Try to be very careful not to break the suction of the latch. Bring your baby’s lower body (hips and legs) toward you until his nose lifts a little bit off of your breast....

Ready, Set, Go With a Race Use chalk to draw the start and finish lines of a race. Then come up with different ways to get to the end: running, marching, galloping, using a bike or scooter, jump-roping, and so on. Or play any relay race that’s safe for a concrete or asphalt (read: chalkable) surface. You can also use chalk to set boundaries for young kids playing with ride-on toys: Stop here!...

If your partner gets child support for your stepkids, your financial earnings shouldn’t alter the amount your partner gets. If, however, you’re providing a lot of the support (food, shelter, and clothing), the ex can make a case that your partner now has a higher amount of income available to raise the kids and might try to get child-support payments reduced. If the stepkids are of college age and are applying for financial aid (loans, grants, or scholarships), be aware that the amount of parent contribution the colleges expect is often figured on the total household income....

If you’re armed with the right tools and the know-how, these mishaps can be taken in stride. It reminds me of the advertisement a few years back for the spray carpet cleaner where the kid spills grape juice on his mom’s white carpet and she smiles, completely relaxed, and says “No problem.” Well, I’m not sure it’s quite that easy, but having a few dirt-killing weapons in your home arsenal, plus knowing what to use when, sure can give you a greater sense of confidence AND perhaps lengthen your fuse when it comes to the accidents created by other crafters in the family....

If you’re taking Clomid, you may be nervous (or excited) about the prospect of having two or more babies at once. However, those newsworthy high-order multiple stories are more likely with injectable fertility drugs that are used during intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Clomid and Increased Chances of Multiples The ovaries contain hundreds of thousands of follicles and each follicle contains immature egg cells. Once every month, several follicles begin a process of development....

In seventh and eighth grade, classes are divided into separate academic subjects. Take advantage of opportunities to explore and investigate new academic areas and extracurricular activities. Take time to learn about yourself – your strengths, the subjects you like most, the extracurricular activities you might enjoy. Examine and evaluate academic options that may be available in your community. For example, does your community have a high-school magnet program or school enrichment programs?...

Forms of Reasoning There are two basic forms of reasoning: concrete and abstract. Both are critically important for day to day life, but most people are better at one type of reasoning than the other. Children with learning disabilities may find it more difficult than typical children to reason through a problem to find a solution. Abstract vs. Concrete Reasoning Abstract reasoning involves thinking about and managing ideas and concepts. Abstract concepts can be surprisingly important for day to day life....

Unfortunately, this condition often results in a miscarriage or a stillbirth, with survival being limited to only a few hours after birth in most cases. There is no cure for cyclopia.
