Pregnancy

[JuJu]

hi, one of my good friend miscarriage due to 'crease' (not sure how to spell that) almost a year ago and since then has been trying very hard to concieve. but till now still nothing. wife is in early 30s husband in mid 30s. wife has been rather weak always has headaches and rashes doc said blood not very clean. how huh? i heard TCM can help but any good recommendation of TCM.

also we were joking saying talking about this that night. she said last time younger we said we will not want to have baby cos don't like kids but now when we are ready for one, you just can't get one. i think we really have to becareful about what we speak.

hi, taking about pregnancy... I happened to attend a health talk yesterday on hormonal imbalance. The speaker said sudden stop in pregnancy like miscarriages / abortion, may disrupt the hormonal balance... some of the symptoms are like your fren's - rashes and headaches. To check if suffering from hormonal imbalance, can go to doc to do a saliva test.

actually i find that pregnancy should be just free and easy, the more you stress on it the more it will not happen. my friend was a good example. they attempted so many times and went for several test, doctors said no problem with health then just when they least expect it it happens.....

juju, tell you friend to take it easy lar. child is god give. he will give you when the time is right, no point forcing it.

hi juju

have your friend consult a gynae? i think better check with doc at hospital ( and i am refering to western medicine. not to say i do not think highly of chinese medicine but i feel at western hospital, they have high tech equipments to do what ever in-depth tests / exmainations on both husband and wife to find out the real cause of not being able to conceive after long period of trying.

yes .. you are right.. as a woman grows older , her chances of conceiving gets slimmer and chances of pregnancy complications increases so i would advise your friend and her spouse not to delay on getting themselves examined any further. if within their finance ability, they have done all the tests they can afford and still cannot conceive, then why not consider adoption, they would be giving a homeless child a home complete with loving parents. that is so noble right?

miss lazy, you know lar, traditional mindset, who wants to adopt one if one can have their own. you think like those hollywood celebrities, like angelina jolie, adpot so many kids, that's also she can afford lar. adoption would be the last option for my friend lor... i think...
