Is it dangerous for women with von Willebrand's disease type 2A to get pregnant?

---

I am doing some research on this hereditary bleeding disorder and I'm trying to find the answer to this question. I'm curious to know if it is too dangerous for women with von Willebrand's disease type 2A (the more serious form of the disease) to endure childbirth. Also, should women with this disease avoid getting pregnant because it is frequently passed down through parents to children?
Whether or not someone chooses to have a baby due to the fact that they may pass on the gene is totally up to them. I won't go so far as to say they are not allowed or shouldn't do it. If they choose to do it, it's their choice and I won't judge them at all.

As for getting pregnant, and giving that's completely possible. Many women with von Willebrand's actually show some improvement in their condition because the hormones during pregnancy increase many clotting factors. Also, natural birth is completely possible.

I found this for you:

There are some dangers, but if the OBGYN and hematologist work together it can be managed quite effectively.

Do a search on Google for "von Willebrand's disease and pregnancy" and you will find more information than you'll know what to do with.  (+ info)

Type A mom can have a healthy type B baby. Why doesn’t the baby develop a hemolytic disease type of response?

---

I understand Hemolytic disease only pertains to Rh antigen, BUT I don't understand why there isn't a similar type of reaction when a mom is carrying a baby of a different ABO blood group.
Here's a great website which describes blood typing in detail. I hope it helps!

What type of disease/infection can you get from animals by eating meat?

---

I eat meat thats fully cooked and well done but I'm still worried that I could get a disease from the animal that it came from. Can we really trust the animals are healthy and well taken care of at the place they are raised and slaughtered?
Yes, there is mad cow diesese and the bird flu, but your all forgetting the biggest one of all! You could get Vocanalisticicitis, (VO-can-alis-TI-CYT-itIS), which is a deisese that you get from cows. When the cows eat grass, there is always bacteria, and this is a bacteria nobody knows how to rid of yet. The symptoms are dying skin, red blotches, neusea, headache, stomachache, bloating, symptoms of dehydration, and diahrea.  (+ info)

What type of diet may contribute to gall bladder disease?

---

I've heard of the "3 F's", fat, forty and female. But none of the people I know who have had gall bladder disease fall under these catagories. One thing that seems to be a trigger is rapid weight loss (okay, maybe "fat" does fit the profile). But I was just wondering about the overall effects of diet in general.
Actually it's the "4-F's" you left out fertile. Pregnancy is also a risk factor. Actually risk factors include: oral-contraceptive use (or high estrogen in general), Family history (genetics), Increased triglycerides, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, spinal cord injuries, prolonged fasting state, inactivity, certain drugs (like a common antibiotic ceftriaxone), Crohn's disease, diseases that turn over red blood cells rapidly (genetic diseases and very common sickle cell anemia). I'm sure there's more but these are off the top of my head. Generally foods in HIGH saturated fats, low fiber, low calcium, and low vitamin C seem to have the highest risk factors. By the way, a study of 46,000 people who drank 2 or more cups of coffee per day had a 40% less chance of developing gallstones or sludge.

Sincerely,
Doc  (+ info)

What type of disease could result from chronic tiredness?

---

i am always tired, I don't think it's really normal. I could sleep the whole day if you let me. I have tried things like sleeping less or sleeping more, but I am still tired and weak. is there any kind of disease that that could result from? I have already been tested negative for anemia.
So many things can cause fatigue. Some have been covered here. Mono, Lyme disease, lupus, celiac disease or any malabsorption issue, thyroid issues, etc. Apnea or some other sleep disorder is an excellent suggestion, by the way!

I have celiac and I also happen to have Lyme right now. When my celiac was active I was NOT anemic, but was still very tired all the time (so do look into that and consider getting tested if any of the symptoms seem to fit or you have a family member with celiac). Lyme has not been a lot of fun either... I sleep and sleep and it is never enough, but with Doxycycline I am feeling better.
You will need more testing to help determine what is going on with you, I wish you luck, a tenacious Dr. who won't give up or tell you that you are "depressed" to make you go away so s/he doesn't have to admit that they don't know, and a speedy diagnosis.
And I am serious about not taking the "you are depressed diagnosis" seriously. If they ever say that and you know you are not depressed just say,"Oh, I understand. That means you don't know what is happening and now you want to blame it on me. Well, thank you for your time, I am getting a second opinion now." and leave.  (+ info)

When they say being an alcoholic or people being obese is a disease what type of disease is it?

---

Can you have the disease and it doesn't even affect you? If everyone else in my family is an alcoholic and I don't even drink is there a big chance that I still have the disease? Is the disease a psychological disease?
calling alcoholism or obesity or drug taking a disease is taking away responsibility from the abuser. they can then hold up their hands and say whoops not my fault as they fall down, vomiting in the high street causing 000's of pounds / dollars to be spent in cleaning, medicare, aftercare, education etc, the serious drug taker can with full support of academics say 'not my fault guv' after he has just mugged and beaten black and blue an 80 yr old pensioner for some of the money to buy his next fix, again when caught , being the cause of the squandering of 000's of pounds/dollars to 'help' him/her on their fragile and ultimately useless road to recovery. And when i am rushed to hospital with serious health complications that have not been caused by any suspect lifestyle/ health choices and i am left for long hours waiting for a simple but probable lifesaving initial check over because the physician is busy with some fat bloke who feels a little unwell after choking on a triple Mac, then not only should we stop apologising for these people who mentally can help themselves but selfishly choose not to but we should also look at prioritising health care and all its resources in favour of those who are in no way capable of helping themselves overcome debilitating real diseases but are
shunted to the back of the queue so that the socially repulsive, greedy, needy people with problems lap up the ever dwindling pot of money that is allowed for health care.

If your family are a family of substance abusers be it food, drugs or drink then your best bet is to leave the situation and not look back. easier said than done but research over the years has shown that those members of society that carry on the 'traditions' of the family or social clique to which they are exposed will then pass on those traits to other generations, one reason being that very few people like or actively seek out change. we are creatures of habit, good or bad. but change is what we need and change is what society needs.

this is spoken from experience as i came from a very physically and mentally abusive religious foster home. i had real mental, physical and social problems as a child, Left the situation aged 16 and have seen none of my relatives or friends from that period since. that is 34 yrs ago. i even live in a different country. i have a loving, caring new family, there are no rows , no physical threats and more important little in the way of problems. no has health issues, none of us smoke, none of us take illegal drugs and more importantly we each take the view that our actions dictate the consequences. we do not expect others to clean up our detritus. we are our own saviours. that message should be the mantra of all society. No excuses. our mess is our mess.

calling problems diseases clouds the issues and makes victims out of oppressors and slowly kills society.  (+ info)
