If my pregnancy test is negative, why are my periods delayed?
Menstrual cycles are regulated by ovarian function and may become irregular when that function is abnormal or altered. This can be affected by many factors: patient weight, medications, diet, activity, ovarian cysts to name a few. You should see your gynecologist for testing to be sure nothing serious is affecting your cycles. READ MORE
Is my constipation normal?
It could be hormonal, but could be due to diet or activity changes as well. Keeping a log of symptoms, menstrual cycles, diet and activity will help to determine the cause. Entering data into a calendar is a simple way of correlating symptoms, life style and menstral cycles. READ MORE

Yes, it means staying in bed and only getting up for the restroom possibly meals. It’s difficult, but well worth it when you finally hold that healthy, beautiful baby. READ MORE
What is cerclage?
A cerclage is a suture or “stitch” placed in the cervix (the uterine opening) which prevents premature opening of the uterus resulting in miscarriage. It is used in women diagnosed with incompetent cervix in which the cervix lacks the strength to remain closed. The cervix is simply sewn closed to maintain the pregnancy. READ MORE
