Change is not easy: Change is difficult.

Question 8

i get musty very easily why is this?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Haven't seen good research linking certain foods to the smells of bodily parts or bodily secretions. Basic ideas can be followed, such as cleanliness (bathing removes bodily oils, which come from sebaceous glands, which have bacteria and can carry oils/flavors from spicy/odorful foods). However, overwashing damages skin cells, and can make aromas worse. Possibly hormone-related? Doctor can check!

Question 9

how can i have my baby 6weeks early?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: A baby born prematurely at 34 weeks can happen vaginally or by c-section and may be necessary if your membranes rupture early or  you develop complications that risk either mom or baby. At 34 wks the baby has >50% risk of admission to a nicu for breathing difficulties & other complications.

Question 10

can i take my night medication early?

Accepted Answer

: It really depends on what the night medication is and why you are taking it. For example, if you are taking a sleeping pill, you wouldn’t want to take it early since you would then be sleeping too early. If you are talking about a blood pressure medicine, it might not matter if you take it early. So, talk to your doctor about the medication you are talking about to answer your question. Good luck
