= What is it? nausea in pregnancy
= How is it diagnosed? by the mother complaining about discomfort!
= What are the dangers? N/A
= What do medical professionals do? drugs for Hyperemesis are available but the long term damages are unknown.
= What can you do? Get a good balanced B complex supplement add that to you high protein diet. if there are still symptoms you could be really deficenint in the B vitamin 6. So taking extra of that one vitamin with your B complex and Beef has been most helpful. Something else that has brought great success is taking a good protien enzyme when protien is consumed. This helps the body digest protien better so these B vitamins are used better.

Toxemia
= What is it? Toxemia is the result of not getting proper nutrition
= How is it diagnosed? by checking the blood pressure, other symptoms include swelling of the hands and feet and face, because the body is retaining fluid.
= What are the dangers? liver and kidney damage/failure, problems with eyesite, and possibly convulsions. Also these are signs that the baby isn't get enough nutrients from just what the mother is eating. And is beginning to take nutrients from the mother's body
= What do medical professionals do? bedrest, high blood pressure medications, they induce the baby or require a c-section.
= What can you do? You can eat a high protien diet. Yet again this is the main cause of toxemia. The medical field has yet to recognise it, but many people in this and other birth communities have used the method of upper protien in the diet and found it to completely reverse any and all signs of toxemia!

Pgy & Birth:
- UP Journals
- Birth Stories
- Waterbirth
- (everything else already there)
- Pgy Ailments (mostly pgy-related stuff)
+ Toxemia
+ Morning Sickness / Indigestion
+ Sciatica
+ High Blood Pressure
+ um… ?
- Interventions (mostly birth-related)
+ Ultrasound
+ External Fetal Monitoring
+ Amniocentesis
+ Vaginal Checks
+ um…?
- Complications (mostly birth-related stuff)
+ Rh Negative
+ Gestational Diabetes
+ Premature Rupture of Membranes
+ Long Labors
+ Breech Presentation
+ Posterior Presentation

+ um…?
- Post Partum (mostly newborn stuff)
+ Afterbirth Pains
+ Passing Out
+ Premature Baby / Kangaroo Care
+ Cord Cutting / Care
+ Getting baby breathing
+ Jaundice
+ um…?
Then, the pages under ailments & complications will look the same… each 'thing' on it's own page, and will be an outline of sorts, like i sent through a while ago (c&p below)
Toxemia
= What is it?
= How is it diagnosed?
= What are the dangers?
= What do medical professionals do?
= What can you do?
"interventions" would be similar, with everything looking the same between the pages in that category, but with more fitting questions. like-
Urine Testing
= What does it show/test for?
= How does it work?
= What are the benefits?
= What are the risks?
that's all under the pgy & birth section.
under the faith section would be the philosophical stuff. will have to detail that later.
