Marina- I guess it depends on what you are snacking on. I find myself wanting snacks but try and make better choices. So I steam broccoli or carrots, eat hummus; just trying to make filling and better choices than potato chips. If you eat higher fib…

Jane- You can try ginger supplements 1 gram a day divided in 4 doses. Also, taking vitamin B6 supplements 10-25 mg 3 times a day can be helpful. Bendectin, a nausea/vomiting medication available in Canada, can be "made" here at home by taking 25 mg…

In War and Isolation, a Fighter for Afghan Women

By DENISE GRADY

Ms. Azfar, 51, is trying to oblige. By day she directs Afghanistan’s Institute of Health Sciences, by night sh… Continue

My wife, Maria, did all the work. I could only watch in awe, but we started at the birth center at StLuke's Roosevelt, then after seven hours of labor and heaving pushing Otis' head got stuck and the marconium (?) was released so we we're sent to labor and delivery. Thankfully we had a Doctor, who happened to be a young woman, who was very relaxed and knew our midwife, Sylvie, and after assessing my wife, said everything was fine and if "you" still wanted to have a natural birth that was ok. So Sylvie and Maria we're given a little momentum, after being defeated and wanting to give in, and gave birth naturally. Thankfully as, after all the pushing and work we had been through it was great to be able to give birth as we had hoped....so we don't know the name of the L&D Doctor, but we sure we're glad it wasn't someone else.
