(Powered by Yahoo! Answers)

what happens when a pregnant woman lies in a koma?


what happens to the baby?
----------

Depends on why she is in the coma.

The baby could die, or it could continue to grow and eventually she could deliver it (they would most likely do a c-section a few weeks early).  (+ info)

has anyone here ever woken up koma(be merciful i have no idea how to spell it...)?


has anyone here ever woken up from a koma? If so, what is being in a koma like? just being asleep without a dream, being a sleep with a dream, being paralyzed and unable to move, or something i am not thinking of.

My mother and a friend of mine have both been in a diabetic coma. They both said it was like being part asleep, part awake. Sometimes they could hear things but not move or respond, most of the time it was just like a deep sleep. They said when they would be able to hear things it helped because they could struggle internally and try to wake themselves up. I don't know if it is different for different kinds of comas or not.  (+ info)

Has anyone heard of "Koma" (NOT Kona) Coffee, and know where you can get it?


It is supposed to be less acidic than other coffee and I LOVE coffee but am getting stomach problems due to the acid.

Hello Brandon,

I am so sorry to hear of your dad's condition.

It is a well known fact that the hearing is the last thing to go. Think of all the stories you have read in newspapers or heard on the news of relatives taking recordings of the family dog barking, or favourite music. and the patient has come round.

Try holding his hand and ask him to squeeze your hand if he can hear you. Even if he can't manage to actually squeeze, you may notice his fingers trying to move. If he responds to this then you can hold little conversations with him by asking him to squeeze once for yes and twice for no.

If there isn't any response don't be disheartened though, it will just be that he hasn't got the muscle power to do that yet, but i can assure you that he CAN hear you.

Chat to him, tell him what you have been doing, who you have seen, tell him about the people who have been asking after him. If you think that there is anything which he might be worried about ( just for example, you might think he is worried about you all at home without him) then talk to him and put his mind at rest.Let him know that you miss him but you know he will be better soon and that he is not to worry because you are all doing OK.

Chat about things that would make him laugh if he were fit and well. just talk about anything and everything.

I do hope his progress is fast.

Lots of love

Mel.  (+ info)
