Guest guest Report post Posted August 29, 2002 Hi Tana, welcome to another European on the list and to the first member from the Czech Republic. That's great that Miriam is doing fine. My daughter is five, healthy too and " not really much into eating ...... " . Hope Prague recovers from the flooding and you haven't been flooded yourself.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 27, 2003 Welcome Kim! I'm (the other moderator) and mommy to Drew (age 7) Mattie (4.5) and (11 months). Drew is my allergy kid. He is anaphylactic to peanuts, has eczema, is allergic to dogs and environmental allergies. Right now we are trying to get his eczema under control. It flared up badly when we were fighting strep (for 4 1/2 months) and had Drew's tonsils out. He is feeling so much better overall so I'm glad it was done! No nuts, soy or dairy. I might be able to help with some of that. Let me look through the recipes that I put together for my brother and his girlfriend for Christmas. He is vegetarian and she is vegan so there might be something. I'm going to post the recipes in the files at yahoo so everyone can search through them. I wonder if there is something in there for Ki too? Hmmm. In addition to Drew's current allergies he has outgrown his dairy allergy. Anything that I had that was dairy free usually substituted soy so I am very sympathetic to you there. Hope you got all the wipes back in the box ;-) ----- Original Message ----- Alyssa says I haven't intro'd myself & I thought i had. My name is Kim, one terrific kid, we have a friend (Alyssa) who has a child with allergies & we need all the info we can get. My daughter is Tiffani she is almost 20 months. The love of my life. It took my husband & me almost 5 years to conceive her. She just took all the wipes out of the container aaaaaahhhhhh! Well if anyone has recipes that don't have nuts, soy or dairy in them we could use them. Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted August 22, 2003 Hi, Stacey, Thanks you for your concern. It is scary that the majority of OB/GYN are men who are less sympathetic to understand the natural need for a woman to have a child. My first OB/GYN was a total retard. It wasn't until the 3rd loss that I finally left him and went to a high risk. Although this high-risk was a male, he sent me to a fertility clinic (Sunnybrook Women's college Hospital in Toronto, ON where I live) to have all my tests done for both me and my husband. The fertility specialist was a woman who fully understand the meaning of having a natural desire to be a " mother " . From her tests she discovered that I had a weak uterus from the HSG test and that I had PCOS from the cysts on my right ovary. After this 4th loss from a failed vag cer, my high-risk and fertility specialist called me at home to offer their sympathies and both suggested that a ab cer is the best solution provided that all tests for infection/bacteria are done for me and my DH and all prove to be negative. Since this loss on July 12th'03, I am home from work recuperating until I visit my high-risk for my 6week appointment. At this appointment we all will discuss what went wrong and what are the future plans. He stated that he was going to be talking to his peers for their opinions since I loss too many babies and he wants to make sure that all is done properly so that we do not have to go through another loss. I am afraid to have an ab cer based on what I have been researching on the net - uterine ruptures and the fact that it is permanent. If this is the course of action should I suggest that I have it placed pre-conception? I also have an " irratable " uterus - contracts early in preganancy. This last pregnancy, I was in the hospital at 6wks with very strong pains on my right lower quadrant. Throughout all my pregnancies, I have always had extreme pain - menstrual-like cramps, headaches, heaviness, back aches, contractions. Safe to say that I am a basketcase so the next pregnancy will be even more emotionally tiring for me and all my family members. Reading the postings in this group has given me some encouragement to ttc when the DR advises me to do so however I am not sure as to when the ab cer will be placed. Also my DH is very concerned since he does not know much of the procedure and the minute I mentioned that it is permanent and all deliveries will be by c-sect, he flipped. In the meantiome, we are trying to get back to our normal every day living and I am loosing weight so that I can be at my optimal weight before ttc again. Good luck to all who are pg and ttc. I know that joining this group was the best emotional healing that I can receive. Once I see my DR on Sept.2nd, be sure to expect me to ask you all a lot of questions based on what the DR advises us. Also I will then give the info on the DR who will perform the cerclage. At the moment, this high-risk is: Dr. Jon Barrett of the Sunnybrooke & Women's College Hospital in Toronto, Ontario. m/c 09/19/99 - 16wks stillborn 05/24/01 - 20w3d - son Jemar m/c 04/19/02 - 14w m/c 07/12/03 - 15w --- Randy and Stacey Ratliff randyandstacey@...> wrote: > , > I am very sorry to hear about what all you have > been thru!
