According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, TB skin testing is safe during pregnancy and there is no reason to delay the test.\n\nhttp://www.med.umich.edu/ehs/tbfaq.htm\n\nTuberculin skin testing is considered valid and safe throughout pregnancy. However, testing with QuantiFERON®-TB and QuantiFERON®-TB Gold has not been evaluated for diagnosing M. tuberculosis infection in pregnant women.\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/tb/pubs/tbfactsheets/250160.htm

deodorant is used to just cover up the odor. anti persperant is used to close the pores so wetness doesnt come through the skin.

See a doctor. There are all kinds of treatments for sweating. I have even heard of botox injections at the sweat site. I have the same problem but fortunately, Certain Dry worked for me. If you were like me, it seemed that most deo and anti pers. made the sweating worse. The only way Certain dry worked was if I used it at night and then didn't put anything on in the morning. If I slipped and put regular deo and anti pers. on, it was all over because I would sweat all day long...whether it was hot or not and no way would I wear a sleeveless shirt! I still don't do that.  Good luck!

Well, if you feel that you are perspiring unusually, then I would suggest you see a doctor. Sometimes a weird perspiration rate can be a sign that something is wrong.\nIf you just sweat, here's an idea that will work. Find a gel anti-perspirant and apply normally. Before it dries however, dust it baby, dusting, or body powder. This will keep you dry all day. I sweat like a pig when I exercise and it keeps me drier than the Mohave Desert!

I've never heard of that!!! I knew the thing about not getting into a hot tub if you were so far along (I got in one during the first 3 months because I was so stiff and sore all the time but the further the preg. went I just grinned and bared it) But I had not ever heard not to use the massage pads. That truly makes no sense! They have special massages out there for preg women . \nWho told you not to use the pad? Was it your doc...if so tell him you'd like to know more of why...if it was just a friend then I would call and ask my ob/gyn.

Are you thinking of deodorants or anti-perspirants? Many anti-perspirants contain salts of aluminium which contains one's perspiration. Some researchers are of the opinion that these salts are absorbed and can, over time, present a problem.

While there is no evidence that a fetus is affected by its mothers' exposure to either the natural sun or indoor tanning equipment, a potential drawback to tanning during pregnancy may be the risk of the woman's body overheating. Pregnant women are cautioned to avoid prolonged sauna and whirlpool exposure due to the possible harm to the fetus from the rise in the woman's core body temperature. Core body temperature is the temperature of the blood as it is pumped from the heart, which normally ranges from 99 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Extended periods of sauna or whirlpool exposures or prolonged vigorous exercise may actually cause this temperature to rise. This rise in body temperature could result in developmental damage or possibly death to the fetus.

i actually had a pilates instructor who was pregnant, and i asked her about the reformer.  she said that she modified the excersizes to do many of them on her side (as laying on your back can reduce blood supply to the baby after a certain period of development) and that she didn't work out as hard.  but she said that she still excersized three times a week or so.  i would think that keeping strong and healthy would be beneficial to your pregnancy!  however, i would check with a doctor, because you don't want to make a mistake... it is, after all, your child.

There a few things to keep in mind.\n\nFirst, I doubt that the hydrocephulus or VP shunt would be a problem during the pregnancy.  However there is a chance that the tubing may malfunction ie stop draining during the pregnancy given that everything gets pushed around inside you abdominal cavity.\n\nSecond, the major dilemma with pregnancy, VP shunts, and your underlying condition  is childbirth.  If you are planning a vaginal delivery, the pushing can potentially increase intracranial pressure which potentially cause problems.  In addition, remember that by pushing you are increasing intra abdominal pressure and that can decrease the flow of the VP shunt.  In general, (I would talk to your neurosurgeon and perineonatalogist  or high risk ob doctor about it), I think a C-section would be safer.\n\nwhat type of hydrocephalus do you have?

Reproduction studies done on rats have shown risks to the foetus. Controlled studies on humans during pregnancy are not available. For this reason, the use of VIRLIX Tablets and VIRLIX Oral Solution should be avoided during pregnancy. \nFDA Pregnancy Category B.

Talk to your pharmacist and/or doctor, but this is what I found:\n\n"Phenylephrine or neosynephrine is in the FDA pregnancy category C."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylephrine\n\n"Pregnancy Category C:  Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_category

Actually they are the same except for the scent.  ANTIPERSPIRANTS, however are entirely different.  Men and women have different chemical make-ups.  A men's anitperspirant will not neutralize a woman's sweat glands and vice versa.
