LOOK FOR PART 1 TO FIND OUT WHY WE ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL.***What is a urinary tract infection?***Your urinary tract is the system that makes urine and carries it out of your body. It includes your bladder and kidneys and the tubes that connect them. When germs get into this system, they can cause an infection.Most urinary tract infections are bladder infections. A bladder infection usually is not serious if it is treated right away. If you do not take care of a bladder infection, it can spread to your kidneys. A kidney infection is serious and can cause permanent damage.What causes urinary tract infections?Usually, germs get into your system through your urethra-the tube that carries urine from your bladder to the outside of your body. The germs that usually cause these infections live in your large intestine and are found in your stool. If these germs get inside your urethra, they can travel up into your bladder and kidneys and cause an infection.Women tend to get more bladder infections than men. This is probably because women have shorter urethras, so it is easier for the germs to move up to their bladders. Having sex can make it easier for germs to get into your urethra.You may be more likely to get an infection if you do not drink enough fluids, you have diabetes, or you are pregnant. The chance that you will get a bladder infection is higher if you have any problem that blocks the flow of urine from your bladder. Examples include having kidney stones or an enlarged prostate gland.For reasons that are not well understood, some women get bladder infections again and again.What are the symptoms?You may have an infection if you have any of these symptoms: * You feel pain or burning when you urinate. * You feel like you have to urinate often, but not much urine comes out when you do. * Your belly feels tender or heavy. * Your urine is cloudy or smells bad. * You have pain on one side of your back under your ribs. This is where your kidneys are. * You have fever and chills. * You have nausea and vomiting.Call your doctor right away if you think you have an infection and: * You have a fever, nausea and vomiting, or pain in one side of your back under your ribs. * You have diabetes, kidney problems, or a weak immune system. * You are older than 65. * You are pregnant.----------------------------------------*** What does a mucus plug look like?***A mucus plug may be clear, slightly pink or blood tinged in color. It may be stringy mucus or sticky discharge. Some women may not even notice the loss of their mucus plug because there is already an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy.

Using the summerinfrant monitor I recorded the sounds on to the pc. You can also listen to the sounds with your partner or in the comfort of your own home on your own. The sounds vary. Basically sometimes you can pick up the heart beat, but depends on the position of the baby. The price we paid was under 30 pounds, but around 30 with the 9v battery that you have to get not supplied. The machines fits easily with a velcro strap. Don't expect results like the Midwife, because this machine is pretty basic and not ultrasound. So far Magne is around 17 weeks pregnant and I would say that the machine is best used when the baby is bigger. But appart from that its a brilliant piece of kit.

Twenty days after marriage, pregnancy should be announced. If you haven't met Martha yet but are expecting a baby, she'll introduce herself in the pregnancy scene like this - since the midwife needs to be there to deliver the child when it is born approximately two seasons (59 days) later. So this is just meeting Martha... when you need her most.Harvest Moon is a registered trademark of Natsume Inc. ©1998-2004 Natsume Inc. All Rights Reserved.
