I’ve got to be injected with radiation next week and wondered if my boyfriend could come see me at home, but he has young nieces and nephews. I’ve been told to stay away from all children and pregnant women but could he pass the radiation on?

Ok so I am 16 weeks almost 17 weeks pregnant and I need to know where I can find a free women’s health clinic to do check-ups on pregnant women!!!….Does anybody know where I can find one in the Liberty/Kansas City area I can’t find any online! Also how much are prenatal vitamins are?
Thank you cheryl that was very helpful!!! I appreciate it very much!!!!

THAT BEING SAID.. THEY SAY PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULDN’T GO ON A DIET, BUT TO EAT HEALTHY IF THEY DIDN’T BEFORE? SO THAT CONFUSES ME.

But can they give me a pt test if I am only 1 month pregnant? Please no sexism, pregnant women can do certain jobs that need to be done. I will flag you for saying women in the military should not get pregnant and it is better off without them, my family has been military for generations and you will be picking on the wrong female, I’ll tell you right now

I know there will be several people who claim they have never heard of it, that it is a old wives tale, and that your nose stayed perfectly normal before, during, and after your pregnancy. There were also a few comments who claimed that it was just a weird question. Well, for those of you who believe any of those things, count your lucky stars, because there are some of us who have to deal with this horrible pregnancy symptom. I had a beautiful baby boy 5 years ago and my nose got sooo big. It was humiliating. And I promise, I am not just being shallow. I could have handled a little swelling, but what I had to endure seemed so unnatural. My nose probably got up to 3 to 4 times bigger and wider. After my pregnancy it went back down, but now I am pregnant again. I am close to 3 months and I feel like it will definitely happen to me again. I need to know why there is so little information on the internet on this matter. I mean there is absolutely nothing, but a couple of ladies who ran into the same problem as me and posted questions on it. There has to be some explanation. Out of all the subjects and matters you can find on the internet this is not one of them. It is like a dirty little secret or something until it happens to you and your like, why did no one warn me about this one. I have probably looked at 100 hundred different pregnant women on the internet, in life, on tv, and I have seen only a couple of women that this symptom occurred.

So far I have hid my pregnancy. I am not ready for the comments. I heard people say so many mean things to me. Like, wow, your pregnancy was horrible and know you don’t want to go through that again. Or I heard my sister say, now see, that it what a cute pregnant person looks like, and I heard my so called best friend tell her boyfriend how horrible it was for me and that I looked like a monster and that it didn’t even look like me. This was extremely painful. When I see all of my friends and family look so beautiful during their pregnancy, and then to know that people are comparing me to a monster.

Here is the deal, from forums such as this, I have heard these reasons for it occurring. Hormones cause some people’s face to swell, blood flow increases so it causes swelling, cartilage become softer like the pelvis and causes nose to be flatter and wider, and the fact that nasal passages can be damaged and become swollen and inflamed. Now my problem is, all pregnant women have hormones raging through there bodies, more blood volume, and all of our pelvis’s soften for delivery, but not all of us get huge wide noses. If anyone can get any information on this that is scientifically documented somewhere, please let me know. I want to know if there is anything I can do to prevent it this time. I love my son and wouldn’t change any thing about him. If it took me having a big nose to get him here than so be it, but If I can do something to stop this from happening to me, I would rather go that route. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
