Labor and Birth

The Death rate is: 6.58 deaths/1,000 population which was recorded in 2007

Lina Medina was five years old when she gave birth to her son through a c-section.

The "birth canal" is the imaginary plane a baby passes through during childbirth. It refers to the passage formed by the mother's pelvis and vagina through which the baby travels during the birthing process.

Premutation carriers, or individuals that have repeats that do not usually cause disease but are likely to expand in their offspring, should be identified (if possible) in cases where there is a family history of the disorder

In some cases, yes. Muscular dystrophy can weaken the muscles required for breathing, leading to respiratory insufficiency. Ventilatory assistance devices may be necessary to help with breathing support in severe cases of muscular dystrophy.

You can find pedigree diagrams for Muscular Dystrophy in scientific articles, textbooks on genetics, or on specialized websites that focus on genetic disorders or medical genetics. These diagrams visually represent the genetic relationships within families affected by Muscular Dystrophy.

Basically in younger ages you don't feel much pain, but as the M.D. progresses basically you lose your balance and fall alot. I walked on my tiptoes because my tendons were too tight which is like having cramps in your muscles all the time. By the time I was in a wheelchair, the pain and cramping had stopped. I was 7 then...By 9 I was in an electric chair because the tendons and muscles shrunk i have all the sensation in my body like you, but i cant scratch my own nose. That's pain... lol. That being said, the older I get the more pain there is. My bones are squishy and are easy to break which I have done a few times.Back gets sore due to the curvature of my spine ...gravity sucks. You also sit all day which gives me a numb butt and hurts my tailbone. The worst thing for me is the fact that the diaphragm muscles got to the point I needed physio every time I got a cold so I could cough up the crap in my lungs. Cracked a few ribs here wasn't fun. I got so sick that needed medical intervention. I ended up on a trache and ventilator that breathes for me (m.d. means muscles don't work... try to flick that spider off your hand...cant move, that's also painful) Getting suctions to remove the excess secretions in my lungs that builds up because i cant cough means that my lungs get a rubber hose shoved in them all the time and it scratches and cuts the lining of your lungs so it bleeds and burns which can also lead to illness. The final for me would be the microtears I get in my muscles every two to three weeks. Its like spraining your ankle all the time same kind of pain. It is not unmanageable, I use medical cannabis. It helps stop cramping and relieves tension and tightness in muscles as well as numbing the microtears and muscle aches. I am 31 and hope I have answered your question.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects males. Due to the severity of the condition, there are no famous individuals known to have had Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Typically, a woman needs to be at least 1-2 centimeters dilated for her membranes to be swept. This process involves the healthcare provider inserting a gloved finger into the cervix to separate the amniotic sac from the uterine wall, which may help induce labor.

The fetal pig develops within the uterus of the mother, where it is nourished and protected by the placenta. The umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta, allowing for the exchange of nutrients and waste between the mother and the developing piglet.

Babies exposed to depleted uranium may develop health issues, but survival depends on the level of exposure, health care access, and individual factors. Long-term effects can include kidney damage, cancer risk, and developmental issues. It is important for affected babies to receive prompt medical care and monitoring.

the baby will come when he or she is ready to come, do not think that because it is coming "soon" that this means tomorrow or the day after, your body will take how long it takes, there are no hard and fast rules, just be on your guard and monitor any pains you may have, it works not to be too anxious because there is nothing more disappointing than thinking the baby is on its way and being sent back home.

they say it could happen in hours BUT doesnt happen for everyone, i was induced to labour 10days after having my membrane sweep!

Myotonic Dystrophy is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that there is a 50 percent chance of having a child with the disease, when one of the parents has it. This particular condition tends to become worse with each successive generation.

So, yes there is a 50% chance that your child will inherit the disease, and it is likely that they would have a worse case than your husband. The best thing you can do at this point is to consult a genetic counselor, who can help you to make the decision that is best for you.

Yes, muscular dystrophy is often inherited, although there are also cases where it can occur sporadically due to genetic mutations. It is commonly passed down in families through a faulty gene that affects muscle function and strength. There are several different types of muscular dystrophy, each with its own inheritance pattern.

Short answer:

The child's blood type can be any of the following types: B+, B-, O+, or O-.

Long answer:

Remember Punnett squares from high school biology? What you have is two alleles for ABO type and two alleles for Rh factor from each parent. The parent with blood type B+ could carry alleles BB or BO, and ++ or +-. The parent with type O+ carries alleles OO, and either ++ or +-. The allele for RH factor + is dominant; - is recessive (any + yields +; only -- yields -. The alleles for ABO type A and B are co-dominant (any A yields A, any B yields B; except that AB yields AB); O is recessive (only OO yields O)--seems odd, doesn't it, that Type O is the most common type in most parts of the world (second in the areas where it's not first). The Punnet squares work out as follows:

o o

B Bo Bo

o oo oo

+ -

+ ++ +-

- +- --

In most cases this is diagnosed by age five. In that case the child would need a wheelchair by about age 12. Most likely the child will start to have heart and lung issues by late teens or early twenties. My guess no longer than thirty.

Muscular dystrophy may present with symptoms such as muscle weakness, poor coordination, progressive muscle wasting, and difficulty with tasks that require muscle strength. A diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, genetic testing, and muscle biopsy to confirm the condition. If you suspect someone has muscular dystrophy, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

To improve pelvis health, focus on consuming foods high in calcium and vitamin D to support bone strength and density. Incorporate foods rich in magnesium, such as leafy greens, nuts, and seeds, to help relax muscles and reduce cramping. Including foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon and flaxseeds, can also help reduce inflammation in the pelvic area.

The four major roles in a Noh play are the shite, the waki, the kyogen and the hayashi. The shite is the protagonist, and his role includes the maeshite (human) and the nochishite (ghost), the shitetsure (shite's companion), the koken (stage hand) and the jiutai (chorus). The waki includes the shite's foil and his companion, the wakitsure. The Kyogen perform the aikyogen interludes in the Noh play. The hayashi are musicians who play the flutes and drums.

It's absolutely possible, and I am living proof of it. The chances are extremely slim though, because both the trait for blond hair and the traits for green eyes are recessive.

Green eyes are the rarest eye color, because green eyes are not only recessive to the brown eyes trait but also recessive even to blue eyes. I couldn't give exact odds, because the process of genetic recombination is random, but if both traits existed somewhere earlier in the family line, (one parent or more is a carrier) then the combination is not impossible. Even with blond haired people, most tend to exhibit either blue eyes or brown because of green's recessiveness to the two. Having the most recessive eye color trait and the second rarest hair color in the world appear together in one person is exceptionally rare though, but still possible.

When a turkey hen is ready to lay eggs, she will find a secluded spot to build a nest and lay a clutch of eggs over a period of about two weeks. She will then stay on the nest to incubate the eggs for around 28 days until they hatch. Once the poults hatch, the mother turkey will care for and protect her young until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
