Dr. Sarah Parrish

Upon finishing residency, stayed on as faculty member until marriage into the Army life. After a short time working at an Urgent Treatment Center, we were moved and I began work with active duty dependents and retirees. I am especially interested in preventive care: specifically women and children and the overall health of an individual rather than just disease management. It is very rewarding to help people make changes in their lives that will help not only the length but quality of their lives!

Dr. Sarah Parrish answered:

Because I was born as an early bird (really useful), does that mean I could adjust FASTER when flying east or west? That would be cool! :) In brief: Sorry

Sorry to disappoint you but when you are born won't affect how you adjust to jet lag.

However, trying to adjust your sleep schedule an hour at a time closer to your destination's time zone before you leave can help.

At 38 weeks i was 1 CM dilated. Now 39 weeks pregnant feeling shortness of breath, having cramp like pains and constipated. is this normal. In brief: Call OB

At 39 wks the baby can definitely cause some SOB due to much less room to breathe; you may feel like you are panting because you have to take more frequent small breaths.

Constipation can also be common with pregnancy for many reasons: pressure on bowels, dehydration, slower transit of stool to absorb more nutrients. However if SOB at rest and coupled with cramping, call your OB to double check. ...See more

4yo has a dry cough and slightly stuffy at times, is a dry cough something to worry about? In brief: Allergies?

Got period july 15 or 16. sex on july 30, then again aug. 9. Got period aug 10th-18. no period in sept yet, but its the 10th. is cycle ok for 35 days? In brief: Yes, but...

Menstrual cycles can vary in number of days; most are between 28-35 days long.

However, if you are not using any birth control and having unprotected intercourse, there is still potential for pregnancy. Conception can occur with intercourse at any point in cycle and sometimes even on birth control, just more likely on certain days and in absence of birth control. Take pregnancy test to see. ...See more

Abdominal pains and slimy clear discharge with no odor. On days of suppose to be implantation? Could it be? In brief: Test

It is hard to tell as women have varying symptoms or no symptoms at all with pregnancy/implantation.

It is best to take a pregnancy test if you think there is possibility you are pregnant; even if neg now, if you still have not started menstruation in a week, repeat the test. ...See more

Is epidural pain killer have any side effect example like period end early than usual and trying to conceive ? help In brief: Clarification

Do you mean an epidural from a previous pregnancy/delivery? Or an epidural treatment for chronic pain management? These are two very different scenarios and can effect your health and therefore the answer to your question in different ways.

Dr. Sarah Parrish answered:

39wks3days pregnant. Dilated to 2cm baby -1 does that mean labor will be soon or could it still be awhile? In brief: Unpredictable

Your patient information shows 4 prior pregnancies/deliveries.

Given this history, your labor is less predictable as you could progress more rapidly when it does become active, however you may still "hang out" with cervix at 2-3 cm for many days. Each woman and each pregnancy can be very different. Try to relax and enjoy the last bit of time before baby arrives, but don't go too far! ...See more
