premie

Denk je eraan om je auto op te geven? De Brussel’Air-premie moedigt je aan om deze stap te zetten. Met dit mobiliteitsbudget voor Brusselaars die hun nummerplaat inleveren, kun je alternatieve vervoersmiddelen verkennen. Wat zijn die vervoersmiddelen? Is het makkelijk om je zonder eigen auto te verplaatsen in Brussel? Wat doe je als het regent? Samen met An en Eva, twee mama’s uit Schaarbeek die besloten hun auto weg te doen, verkennen we al deze vragen en meer.

There is a lot doctors and scientists still don’t fully understand about what includes labour, both pre and at term. But we do know that there are treatments that can reduce your chance of having a preterm birth, especially if you have had one in the past.

Preterm birth can be especially traumatic for those living in remote communities which is why in our guests on today’s podcast, Drs. Kirsten Duckitt and Jennifer Kask, developed a prevention of preterm birth pathway in Northern Vancouver Island that is spreading to other remote communities. They share with us a moving story of a pregnant individual from a remote community who had her baby in their hospital, and break down the definitions and rates of preterm birth, risks to mama and baby, and how they can be decreased.

Na 4 afleveringen zet Elke in deze slot-aflevering alle learnings op een rijtje en kijkt ze vooruit. Gaan we op termijn allemaal elektrisch rijden?  En waarom is in Noorwegen het elektrisch rijden nu al zo populair?

Elke wil ook even horen uit de mond van een paar chauffeurs waarom zij nu al overgestapt zijn naar een groene wagen en of ze nog steeds blij zijn met hun keuze. Misschien is, in tegenstelling tot wat je zou vermoeden, overschakelen naar een “groene” wagen op vandaag gewoon al een heel verstandige keuze?

Chris Schlichting makes people laugh for a living. Both on stage and in a high school classroom. However, sitting in a hospital for three months with one of this newborn twins clinging to life was anything but funny.

In this episode I talk with Chris about bombing on stage, awkward talks with his father-in-law, and the one joke his wife won’t let him tell anymore.

Described as “hilarious” by his mom and “not good at sports” by his dad, Chris Shlichting takes pride in his immature and lovable comedic style. He travels the country making people laugh, and has been heard on the Bob & Tom radio show (amongst other places). Chris’ act covers hard hitting issues like squirrels, sandwiches, and his twin boys.

A premature birth is a birth that takes place more than three weeks before the baby's estimated due date. In other words, a premature birth is one that occurs before the start of the 37th week of pregnancy. Premature babies, especially those born very early, often have complicated medical problems.  Sheila talks about some of the medical challenges her premie twins have faced during their first 7 yrs..  Sheila is still a stay-at-home-mom due to the chronic health conditions her twins continue to fight.  Never stopping to rest, she continues to find ways to help raise her family in-between tube feedings and doctors visits.  

In the third of a series on the miracles of our adoption adventure, we share how Emmalee's early arrival pressed us into relying even more on heaven to save her life. Born at 26.5 weeks gestation, she got the finest medical care available anywhere. But that almost didn't happen. And it clearly still wasn't enough. 

Her arrival and survival was truly a Remarkable Adventure.

My guest on episode 11 is Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Dr. Paula Shulman. Her office is located in Santa Monica, California and she has hospital privileges at Providence Saint John’s Hospital and UCLA. She practices the full breadth of women’s healthcare and strives to use shared decision making whenever possible. She is a supporter of VBAC and vaginal delivery of twins, and encourages her patients to use both Eastern and Western medicine to achieve their fertility goals. She also specializes in menopause.
