<t>Just found this thread (this place is huge.) I will be no help unless you need a science writer (BA in English, most of a BS Physics/Astro but I didn't finish the last two quantum classes because I got pregnant and stuff) or a violinist (most of a BM in violin performance.) Currently I work as a ...

<t>I never had any either; he got sectioned out after he reacted badly to the mag and the labetelol and stopped moving or practice breathing and started having heart decels. I am of course grateful for this.<br/> <br/> However the loss of a spontaneous unmedicated vaginal labor and birth p*ssed me o...

Is there an Arizona coordinator?

<t>What they said -- go! <br/> <br/> I went from 130/80 and trace protein to 220/116 and a 24 hour catch of 17000 in a week. This disease is *not* something where you want to wait around and see.<br/> <br/> Please do go in -- the headache in particular means you and your baby are at risk of all sort...

<t>I'm just so psyched about the possibility of a screening test for those women who are not known to be at risk.
