WDYT?

I like boobs (isn't that her name?) and I like babbs. But is she the babbs of ML?

Re: WDYT?

  • She's getting on my nerves like woah, but I realize my reaction is colored by the fact that I was not privy to the struggle TTC and know nothing of her aside from these kind of posts.

  • Her pregnancy is going to be the longest one in history.

  • Why would you ever go to a chiropractor?  I have yet to hear a valid reason for visiting one.

    Indeed.

    And i feel for her, I really do. having back pain in pregnancy is the worst and she is not even big yet. But, after the freak out of no symptoms and calling for an u/s and now this, it seems like she is having a rough go. And other regs appear to be calling her on it, so I guess i am not the only one seeing it.

  • I'm still scratching my head over the fact that she received some sort of "electricity" treatment at the chiropractor but didn't consider that maybe she should tell him she is pregnant.

  • Chiros are quacks.

  • We have an awesome nurses hotline here. She needs to learn to love it.
  • I have never considered a chiro. When I have back pain I get a referral to a Physical Therapist.
  • I understand this question to be asking whether she is the dumbest poster on ML and, while she seems dumb, I don't know that she is the dumbest.

  • The internets suggest that chiropractic electrptherapy is not for the preggos.

    No, more about the pregnancy freakouts. I definitely think evee is/was the dumbest.

  • That depends...does she like New Kids on the Block?

  • I love the nurse hotline because then my pediatrician doesn't think I'm crazy when Mr M insists we should call about the three red dots on Dimi's shoulder -- it could be a rash which is a sign of meningitis and is he moving his head okay? And then makes me call because I'm with Dimi more and have a better grasp of his "symptoms".

    I'm guessing the electric thing was just the muscle stim -- it makes your muscles contract and release which can relax them. I don't know if it could have an affect on pregnancy, but it would surprise me if it did. 

    Nov- some insurances will cover massage with a chiro's rx. There's a reason right there.

  • I replied on the post.

    I have a TENS unit that I use on my hip when the drugs just aren't doing it.  It's clearly labeled "not for use during pregnancy"

    I think she was initially complaining because of her terrible morning sickness. Then her food aversion. Then the no symptoms. Then the u/s. Now the back pain.

    You left out how hard it was for her to quit smoking after she got pregnant. LANIE FACE.

  • So, her doctor goes out of town and doesn't have a partner take over or calls forwarded? Is this one of those nightmares of the Canadian health system we keep hearing about?

    If he's out of town again when she goes into labor will she have to have the polar bears deliver her?

  • With my back issues, I'll try anything.  Physical therapy didn't do the trick, so that sounds like a perfectly good reason to give chiropractic care a shot.

    I'm not saying they are great and wonderful, but I wouldn't fault anyone for trying whatever they can to get relief.  (leaving out pregnancy aside)

    I get a lot of relief from back muscle tightness/pain after the muscle stim (which feels really weird) and adjustments.  Call it quackery but it works for me!  My insurance covers it so I'll go until I get nothing out of it anymore.

    Word.  And it's not like she got pregnant accidentally and then needed to quit.  Maybe she should have started trying to quit, I don't know, when they started the IVF process?

    I can't imagine going to a doctor (let alone chiro) and having electro therapy and not mentioning a pregnancy.

  • I had the same thoughts, SB.  I like her, but if you want a baby badly enough to get IVF, you think you'd quit smoking before.  And that you'd mention it to your chiro before he runs an electrical current through your body.  It's probably no big deal, but we all know that a fingernail full of feta can kill your baby.

    Some claim you can help migraines and allergies etc. with adjustments but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't magically replace an antibiotic for an ear infection. 

    Indifferent 

    Is she anti vax?

  • The chiro I worked for did suggest adjustments for colic and chronic ear infection. I didn't revolt because she only did it if they were otherwise seeing a medical dr.

    Reason #8917867 I'm very suspicious of "alternative medicine" most practitioners have a rather uh, rosy view of their healing abilities.

    This is pretty much the thought I had everytime Babbs posted. If you want a baby badly enough to get IVF, you think you'd....  So, yes, I think she's the Babbs of ML.

    It is a holiday today so no doctors offices are open. Clinics/ER yes, doctor no. That is also why we have the nurses hotline. 24/7.

    Oh goodness no. We use raccoons for that!

  • My OB has a triage number to call, and they have stressed from day one to use it. I know it's different up in Canadialand, but I'm assuming the nurses hotline is the same.
