Steroids for Fetal Lung Development?

The goods new is the baby is healthy and above average in weight, however, the drs. are quite certain I will have an early csection, due to complications/high risk and have talked about giving me steroids to speed up the baby's lung development (I A. 29.5 weeks right now). If you were given steroids to speed up lung development, can you tell me what the experience was like? Any side effects for the baby (or you)? I really do understand that this is for the benefit of the baby, in the event he comes early, it gives him the best chance of...

Exclusively Breastfed Baby with Severe Eczema

I know eczema can be caused by a food allergy and am wondering what I can do with my diet to help my 6 month old son. I have tried eliminating wheat, dairy, gluten, and soy to no avail. Still haven't tried eggs and nuts. I also wonder if I eliminated them for a long enough time. I feel completely out of control with this and hate having to use steroids. I've tried numerous natural treatments and none seem to help. I am also considering taking him to a naturopathic physician, but don't know of any good ones in the Sacramento area. I...

Had Success in Treating Ezcema Without Steroids?

My baby is 7 mo old now and he has had ezcema for two months now. It has gotten progressively worst. I was able to manage it with eliminating foods he is alergic to from my diet (still breastfeeding). He is alergic to milk, eggs, peanuts and almonds (as far as skin test can tell!). I am pulling my hair out as we speak - I've been on a strict diet for two weeks now without ALL theese and his condition is getting worst. He is oozing horribly at night and itchy - progressively in the past 4 days. Benadryl does not seem to help. Has anyone...

Being Sick While Pregnant

Hi Ladies, I'm 8 weeks pregnant, had the flu 2 weeks ago and now I have some monster living in my lungs. I've been coughing for almost a week now - the kind of cough that makes you pee a little it's so violent. It's a virus, so there is nothing I can take for it to knock it out... just wait it out. I have been taking Robitussin, and Tylenol, but they don't really help. Anyway, my concerns are twofold: a) I'm totally not hungry, can barely keep food down as it is, and I'm beginning to worry about the amount of calories I'm...

Progesterone Therapy in Early Pregnancy

I am about 8 weeks pregnant. I had a molar pregnancy almost 3 years ago and a miscarriage with twins in April of this year. So we're pretty cautious with this one. I had a lot of blood work done when I first found out. My hcg levels weren't doubling like they should, and my progesterone level dropped from 18 to 15. At my last ultrasound, the nurse midwife noticed some spotting around the uterus, so she prescribed progesterone (tablets). I've read a lot on the internet about the pills not working well, only being about 10-20% effective...
