can you have vaginal delivery when your baby had Down or Edwards syndrom?

---

I was told after my ultrasound that my baby might have one of these. I refused amnio and am now waiting for the blood test results. I am keeping the baby. If the blood test shows I am really in a high risk for DS or ES, is the delivery going to be any different?
You can definitely have a natural birth with a Downs or Edwards baby. My 3rd child had Charge Syndrome which causes severe heart defects and my vaginal delivery was perfect with no complications and she was under no distress.

Because a Downs baby has a risk of major heart defects, and therefore a chance at having some distress at birth or breathing difficulty, they will have a neonatalogist present.

Just keep an open mind and realize that emergency care might be needed, but is definitely not set in stone.

All the best to you!  (+ info)

Symptoms of Aspergers Syndrom for teenage girls?

---

I'm afraid I might have aspergers because I have a lot of trouble with socializing with other people, and I focus on specific things like movies, a soap opera, and sewing. I watched little kid cartoons way longer than a few of my friends, and I am so confused. Please help!

I have two daughters. Older is 3 years old healthy daughter and younger is 6 month old born with down syndrom?

---

My wife thinks two children are enough. My younger daughter has special needs so my older daughter should have another sibling . Should i have another kid? I am confused. Can you share your experience please?
having a baby with downs is going to be hard enough, so I advise that you dont have another child until you are sure that you can handle it, and I want to say that I have seen several families with children with downs, or some other disorder, where the siblings of said child were very close to their brother or sister, having the disorder in know way affected their relationship. Actually I have noticed where children with siblings with disorders, were more friendly and quick to help communitys and facilities with children and disorders, it makes them a better person. So dont think that your older child will be lacking in any way because of the youngest's disorder. Good luck, oh and I strongly suggest joining a local support group for families with children who have downs. Good luck.  (+ info)

what can i do to calm down my tourettes syndrom?

---

i have a mild ... sometime i would twitch a lot ....other times id barely twitch...wat is causing the twitching a lot? what can i do to slow down the twitching or other tourettes things?
Sometimes stress can increase tics in people with Tourettes. A stress free (as much as possible) environment is best. Really, there is not much that can be done. There are, however, medications that can lessen the severity of the tics, but not make them go away. Ask your Neurologist.  (+ info)

Does anyone know the signs of Cronic Fatigue Syndrom?

---

I have been experiencing fatigue and pain for quite some time now. I have gotten tests done and am not sick with the flu or cold. I have read some on Chronic Fatigue Syndrom but hear it is very hard to dianose. It would be much appreciated it someone could help me with this.
Hi, Yes it's very difficult to diagnose. It's a diagnisis of elimination. I have M.E/Chronic fatigue, so I hope I can help...

It can also be called 'Post viral fatigue syndrome', so if you have been ill over the last few years it could be related to that... made your immune system weak. Then stress/depression/exhaustion can all bring it out. Also exposure to toxins. Food intolerances. Can be many contributing factors (im sure ive forgotten lots). It might help to write everything down... make a diary of your symptoms and possible causes.

The symptoms vary, there are so many and ppl often experience slightly different symptoms. For me the worst thing is not being able to sleep/restless sleep/can't wake up... constant tiredness. Then there's the pain in my limbs. Legs ache, can't walk far. Get very bad pains if I do too much. Arms ache, even washing my hair is hard work. Headaches/migraines. And lots of little aches and pains randomly. Then the brain 'fog', get confused easily, slur my words, forget what i'm saying... you learn to laugh at yourself! I feel like my 90 year old grandmother most days! ;)

It isn't treatable as such... there are many stories of different treatments that have worked for some and not for others. Generally you just have to change your lifestyle to pace yourself and build your strength up again slowly.

I have been re-diagnosed many times (cos I was a student when I got ill, so moved house every year, therefore moving doctors.) They always check for thyroid, as that has closely related symptoms and is treatable. And they're always giving me blood tests to check for all sorts of other things... vitamin deficiencies, anemia etc.

I have had M.E for 9 years and only just being medicated for the M.E, rather than depression. This has only happened as I got referred to a wonderful M.E specialist. I am now taking Melatonin for sleep problems, and Cymbalta/Duluxotine for pain and concentration. These have both helped me alot. Worth asking your doctor about, (if you have M.E that is?) and if they wont prescribe Melatonin (as it is expensive for them!) you can get it online cheap. I only take 1/2 tablet a night.

Here's some more info about M.E, symptoms, treatment etc. that will explain it better than me (also there are many very similar illnesses it could be but your doctor should be able to atleast narrow it down for you)...

So just try to take it easy for a while, eat well, drink lots of water, pace yourself and listen to your body. Good luck, and I hope you get it sorted x  (+ info)

how do I make the official diagnosis for asperger syndrom?

---

im gonna make an appointment with my regular doctor, does he make the official diagnosis to see if I have it or is it someone else.

Another thing if I do have AS(which im sure of) does it go on my record or something, so when I apply for a job does anyone have to know?
Your doctor will most likely refer you to a specialist, for example a psychiatrist, who will confirm whether you have AS or not (or whether you have something else).

Your diagnosis goes on your medical record, but your medical record is private and you do not have to tell your employer about your diagnosis if you don't want to. Pretty much nobody will know about your diagnosis unless you choose to tell them about it.

However, if you require some accommodations at your job or in school due to AS, then you need to tell the employer/the school about your diagnosis and request the accommodations you need. Employers and schools have legal responsibilities to provide reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities. You need to be able to do the job though, with reasonable accommodations.

You do not have to mention your diagnosis during the application or interviewing process for jobs (and in many cases it is better not to, to prevent being discriminated against) and employers are not allowed to ask you whether you have disabilities or health problems. You can enclose your diagnosis after you are hired, or you can choose to not tell them at all.  (+ info)

What do you say to someone who's just found out their newborn has Down Syndrom?

---

....in the way of consolation. What do you think they need to hear?
OK , I see that I need to make an amendment.
THEY are the ones who seem to believe that they have a second hand child. I see the little one as a blessing, as my child has serious health problems too. But they are distraught and I don't know what to say to help relieve their worry. I just want to help.
What a beautiful baby and such a gift from God....You were chosen to take care of such a gift...
Down sydrome children have such a beautiful spirit and are a great joy to be around...  (+ info)
