What are some non harmful ways to make you rupture your membrane(water break)? Is there certain foods to eat?


I am ready to have this baby, but she is stalling and acting as if she does not want to come out, People has said that if you walk alot and drink lots of water that that could help your membrane rupture, but that has not worked! Looking for non harmful ways to help my membrane rupture(water break)! Ready to have this baby!!!!
----------

I would try walking. I have heard spicy foods can kick things along, not sure if that is just an old wives tale though.

Sex too can stimulate things.

But take it easy and don't over exert anything. I'm sure it seems as if that baby will go to college in your womb, lol but trust me she will be with you soon. As long as the environment in the womb is still pleasant, ie the placenta is good and the docs aren't concerned let her "bake" :P The doctors will keep a close eye on you and pull the plug if she really is playing a stalling game with you.

Good Luck with the upcoming delivery and CONGRATS.  (+ info)

Is high intensity exercise bad for a bicuspid aortic valve patient?


I'm a 35 yr.old Bicuspid Aortic Valve patient who engages in high intensity training(weightlifting and cardio). Is there anything I should be apprehensive about? I'm also on a healthy diet, high in protein, low in simple carbs.
----------

First off, listen to Robyn and talk with a cardiologist about this, as he/she is the only qualified person to determine your exercise limitations as they relate to your condition. With your condition you should be seeing one regularly, ideally every year but every 4 years at a minimum.

With that out of the way, I am 34 and have this condition myself as well as an enlarged aortic root. In fact I just had my annual checkup yesterday at UCLA, one of the finest cardiology centers in the world, so I am well primed to talk about this. I have been under the care of a cardiologist for over 25 years and go in for routine visits and tests every year. The exercise issue has always been a hotly debated topic between me and my cardiologist, and I have always used great care when exercising as a result. Several cardiologists I have seen flat out said "No weightlifting of any kind". I never cared for that answer, being a lover of weightlifting and staying in shape. My current cardiologist, who I have been seeing for 3 years, has a different viewpoint. He not only recommends cardio activity but also feels weightlifting can be beneficial to both body and heart. His specific recommendation is "Do not do heavy weight". When asked to clarify what he means by "heavy" his response is "You should be able to comfortably do 15 reps and not strain". I was able to "talk him down" (ha-ha) to 12 reps, as that is about the highest number of reps you can do and still build significant muscle. He seemed OK with this. He said that doing less than 12 repetitions can raise your blood pressure to extreme levels which puts extra strain on your heart and specifically your aortic valve, which by nature is deformed (2 flaps instead of 3) and does not operate as efficiently as a normal aortic valve, so obviously you want to avoid putting any extra stress on it if possible.

On the cardio side, as you probably know most doctors and cardiologists recommend regular cardio for overall heart health. I do cardio myself, and have told my cardiologist that when doing strenuous biking or running that my heart rate sometimes hits the 180s, and asked him if I should be concerned. He said no, the main concern was increased blood pressure, not increased heart rate, and cardio really only significantly increases heart rate, while weightlifting increases both.

So bottom line, if you weightlift do 12 or more comfortable reps and do not do reps where you are straining or red in the face trying to get in that last good rep. As for cardio, it is recommended and even high intensity cardio is OK according to my sources.

I hope that helps.  (+ info)

What is the average life span if someone has Aortic Stenosis?


I'm 19 and was born with congenital aortic stenosis the symptoms are just moderate/serious at the moment. I just wanted to know what is my average life span, say with out any medication or operations?
I'm not worried, I'm just interested.
Well I am sort of worried it gets me down because it's really painful. :P
----------

Theres no such thing as average life span. There are lots of cases where people surpass them. Doctors are not always right. You can live as long as you dont give up.

You can get an aortic valve replacement. People 65 and older get that and still live so since your heart and body is young then you should have a long life.  (+ info)

What kind of life time line would you give a 75 year old who have inoperable aortic aneurysm.?


My Father has an inoperable aortic aneurysm the size of 2 golf balls. What kind of life expectancy can I expect for him?
----------

with good blood pressure management he may get as many yeras as he would have even if he did not have the aneurysm...it is very difficult to say and even the doctors can only give a guideline...there are several things that come into the equation...where the aneurysm is, ascending aorta, thoracic aorta, abdominal aorta??? how big it is...mine was 5 cm when I had it replaced with the dacron tubing...it was an ascending aortic aneurysm (the most deadliest if it burst).
His general health and lifestyle and his size all make differences to his life expectancy... His aneurysm could even possibly be inoperable because it is more dangerous for him to have the operation than live with it at present...which seems to say to me that he is in rather frail health at present...

I wish you and your dad all the very best...  (+ info)

what would be the effect of a large occlusion in the aortic arch on the B P measured in the?


what would be the effect of a large occlusion in the aortic arch on the B P measured in the 1. left ventricle, 2. aorta before occlusion 3. right arm?
----------

1. Left ventricular pressure increases
2. Pressure in the aorta before the level of occlusion increases and will be almost equal to that in the left ventricle.
2. Right arm presure decreases because the blood vessel to right arm (subclavian artery) arises from the arch at the level of the occulusion.  (+ info)

What do you mean by uterine rupture when you took cytotec?


I read that cytotec can cause abortion one of the danger of taking it is uterine rupture. Any doctors or anyone who can explain it in lay mans term. What does it mean? Is there anything to do with gall bladder damaging it?
----------

Uterine rupture means the uterine (womb) wall actually tears open. Cytotec for abortion or labor induction is only given under controlled circumstances in a hospital...The uterus can contract uncontrollably and the muscle rips causing immediate hemorrhage and possibly death...  (+ info)

If my spleen were to rupture what are my chances of living?


I was diagnosed with Mono and have had symptoms for a week. I know the biggest risk is of the spleen rupturing, which only happens .1 to .2% of the time. Just out of curiosity what are my chances if it were to rupture?
----------

You would most likely die of shock due to blood loss. The spleen is a solid organ with lots of blood flow. Good thing this probably won't happen to you!  (+ info)
