im 28 weeks pregnant and i just had an ultrasound yesterday, my doctor told me that I had to have a sono from a perintologist because the fetal urine tract measures 5mm on the right and 4 mm on the left. he said the cut-off is 4 mm but since im slightly over i need to get checked. im scheduled to see a perintologist next week for a sono on the fetus' kidneys. im not sure whats going on really, but i am extremely worried that it might be something serious. he said it wasnt, but he had a worried look on his face. does anyone know anything about this or has had an experience?...plz help. sorry if nothing makes sense. im kinda lost myself.

I took one of those cheap home pregnancy test, about a weak ago and it said negative. So if any one has any answers please share them with me.

I am a male age 31 weight 170 punds. I use to weigh 215punds till I started watching what I eat and managed to bring it down.

During my work week I normally take to work with me an apple, peach, plum, banana and a small lunch. In between i might sneak in rice cake ( caramel/chocolate chip). These I tend to eat at 2hr intervals but inbetween I get these hunger bursts. I then try to drink either hot water or cold water but it doesnt seem to cut it that much. Throughout the day I do drink my 2l of water though ..

Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong? What can I do to control my hunger but not build up calories (I have an office job so I sit all day, physical activity is the result of a 5-10 min walk during break sometimes).

1 has pretty much closed. 1 still has a hole where the tooth was...I think I can see the clot. All seems to be well. I am terrified of dry socket though. it has been 4 days now. And also... does anyone know how long it will take the hole to close? Any answers would be appreciated. I am a wimp when it comes to mouth pain! I just want to know when I can start breathing easy again.

My doctor has offered me 10 5mg Prednisone that I am supposed to take over the course of 5 days, 2 each day.
My problem is that I am 16 and my acne is just starting to clear up, I'm worried that if I start this my acne may come back.
Some of the other side effects also sound extremely unappealing. The weight gain on my face is something I just don't want.
And weight throughout my body in general is a big no-no because I'm on the wrestling team.
So, to those who have experience or know a lot about it, what do you think the chances are of me getting those side effects?
Please keep in mind that I will only be taking 10mg a day for 5 days.
Thank you.

My friend hoards everything from television sets to cases and cases of food. He cannot buy just 1 of anything, he buys everything in the case or 2. He just recently put of 4 shelving units for his "finds" He has put shelving units up in every room in his house and he has 1 room just for what he calls "storage" He has 3 freezers full of food in the garage, 1 freezer full in the breezeway and a fridge full in the kitchen.
He is divorced, all his kids have moved out and are adults. His house is so full you cannot move around without climbing around cases and cases of food...everything from stewed tomato's to soup.
He has 5 water jugs full of water. He has a room full of plastic containers full of stuff. Its unbelievable. I cannot marry him unless he stops this nonsense and gets his life together. He is a great person except for his hoarding and filth. Have psychiatrist ever come up with a reason for hoarding?

I'm 5ft 9", and I've gone from around 19 stone to 15 stone in around 4 months.

I'm eating breakfast (wheat cereal), lunch (fruit) and dinner (usually chicken or fish with potato). Also drinking only water, around 8 pints per day.

I'm doing a minimum of 30 minutes excersise per day, usually more.

Doing this I've lost 8 inches off my waistline so far (from 44" to 36")

The question is, am I losing this weight too fast? As far as I can see I'm losing weight in a healthy way, I'm not starving myself at all.

I think it's Crohn's Disease personally. Nothing showed up on X'Ray's or the Ultra-Sound. I'm seeing my doc on Wednesday about what's going on but I'm not sure what I have and I want to get some opinions on this. Please help, I don't want to have surgery. O.o
