Taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors during pregnancy - Is it safe?
Almundher Al-Maawali, MD, Asnat Walfisch, MD and Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC, FACMT
January 2012
One of my 35-year-old pregnant patients has been treated with enalapril for primary hypertension. She learned she was pregnant at 11 weeks' gestation. I read somewhere that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can cause malformations. What advice do you give to Motherisk callers?
Most published studies have failed to show an effect of ACE inhibitors on congenital malformations. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by Motherisk does not suggest increased fetal risk of malformations. However, ACE inhibitors should be avoided in late pregnancy, as they might cause renal failure and acalvaria in the baby.
L'une de mes patientes enceintes âgée de 35 ans est traitée avec de l'énalapril pour une hypertension primaire. Elle a appris qu'elle était enceinte après 11 semaines de gestation. J'ai lu quelque part que les inhibiteurs de l'enzyme de conversion de l'angiotensine (ECA) peuvent causer des malformations. Quels conseils donnezvous à ceux qui posent des questions à ce sujet à Motherisk?
La plupart des études publiées n'ont pas réussi à révéler des effets attribuables aux inhibiteurs de l'ECA sur les malformations congénitales. Une récente synthèse critique et une méta-analyse réalisées par Motherisk n'indiquent pas qu'il puisse y avoir des risques ftaux accrus de malformations. Toutefois, il faudrait éviter les inhibiteurs de l'ECA en fin de grossesse, car ils pourraient causer une insuffisance rénale et l'absence de voûte crânienne chez le bébé.
Essential hypertension is a common diagnosis among young women.1 Depending on the population studied, the incidence during pregnancy ranges from 0.5% to 3.0%.2 Different types of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy include chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia, accounting for most antenatal care provision.3 Risks to the mother include maternal death, stroke, heart failure, and pulmonary edema. The fetus is also at risk, and common fetal complications include intrauterine growth restriction, placental abruption, and prematurity.4
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are widely used as first-line therapy for chronic hypertension. They are frequently used in women of reproductive age; consequently, some women are bound to be taking ACE inhibitors at the time of conception, as more than half of all pregnancies are unplanned.4
Captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril cross the human placenta in pharmacologically significant amounts. It is conceivable that other ACE inhibitors have similar placental transfer.5,6
Animal studies
While the results of animal studies on the use of ACE inhibitors during pregnancy vary, most of them have failed to show increased malformation rates. However, animal data reveal increased morbidity and mortality in fetuses exposed to ACE inhibitors in utero. A prospective placebo-controlled study of baboons showed a significant increase in fetal death or fetal growth restriction (4 of 13) in the group treated with enalapril when compared with placebo (P < .05).7 Use of captopril in maternal sheep during late pregnancy caused low fetal blood pressure, and the risk of stillbirth was substantially elevated.8
First-trimester human exposure
Cooper and colleagues9 reported an increased risk of congenital malformations in fetuses exposed to ACE inhibitors during the first trimester. They studied a cohort of 29 507 infants who were enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid, who were born between 1985 and 2000, and for whom there was no evidence of maternal diabetes. Out of this cohort, 209 infants with exposure to ACE inhibitors in the first trimester were identified. The risk ratio for major congenital malformations was 2.71 (95% 1.72 to 4.27). It has been argued that these findings were affected by confounding and ascertainment biases. These include the inability to exclude women with undiagnosed or diet-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, no adjustment for prepregnancy body mass, which is a considerable predictor of risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and uncontrolled hypertension.10 In infants, maternal obesity is an independent risk factor for neural tube defects and cardiac malformations.11,12
Recently, Motherisk13 conducted a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis evaluating the use of ACE inhibitors during the first trimester of pregnancy and their association with major congenital malformations. We identified 5 cohort studies for the meta-analysis and included 19 case reports, case series, or case-control studies in the descriptive part of the systematic review. The meta-analysis failed to demonstrate an increase in major malformations after use of ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) specifically, with no difference from exposure compared with other antihypertensive medications. The systematic review of the case reports and case series published in the past 25 years involved 424 pregnancies. These reports do not suggest a specific pattern of malformations.
Diav-Citrin et al recently studied 252 pregnancies exposed to ACE inhibitors and ARBs, 256 pregnancies exposed to other antihypertensive medications, and 495 control pregnancies from 2 teratology information services in Israel and Italy. They concluded that ACE inhibitors and ARBs are not major teratogens when used in the first trimester, and the risk of major congenital malformations was comparable between the groups (P = .95). In this study, women with known diabetes (both preexisting and gestational) were not excluded, and there was no adjustment for maternal body mass index.14
Serreau et al reported on 10 cases of pregnant women exposed to ARBs during early pregnancy. One out of the 8 fetuses exposed exclusively during the first trimester was reported to have craniofacial dysmorphia, clinodactyly, and tubular dysplasia.15
In a cohort retrospective review of 348 989 infants or fetuses from all pregnancies in Finland (N = 343 324), exposure of infants or fetuses to ACE inhibitors (n = 137) was associated with an increased risk of major congenital malformations, mostly cardiac. However, when adjusted for diabetes, the excess risk was nullified.16
Lennestål et al17 reported on a cohort of 1418 women from the Swedish Medical Birth Register who had used antihypertensive drugs in early pregnancy but who did not have diabetes. Cardiovascular defects occurred with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.59 (95% CI 1.92 to 3.51). However, the results were similar when the women had used ACE inhibitors or other antihypertensive drugs, without any clear drug specificity.
In France, data on 159 pregnancies with exposure to ACE inhibitors and 159 controls were obtained. Pregnancies with confirmed first-trimester exposure to ACE inhibitors were included. The rate of major malformations in live births or stillbirth was not different between the 2 groups (relative risk 1.5, 95% CI 0.3 to 6.5).18
Second and third trimesters
Second- and third-trimester exposure to ACE inhibitors is associated with oligohydramnios, hypocalvaria, anuria, renal failure, neonatal hypotension, and patent ductus arteriosus.19-21 It is also associated with aortic arch obstructive malformations.22 Some of these infants exhibit severely impaired renal function and hypoplastic lungs owing to oligohydramnios, and they might progress to death or end-stage renal failure. The cause of these defects appears to be related to inhibitory effects on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.23 The morbidity is estimated to be quite high; it is between 10% and 20% of infants exposed.4
The use of ACE inhibitors during the first trimester of pregnancy does not appear to increase the rate of congenital malformations; recent studies strongly suggest that the original report by Cooper et al9 might reflect uncontrolled confounding.
However, discontinuation of ACE inhibitors before the second trimester is recommended to avoid the well documented pattern of fetal risks.

Dirty Past
Terrace Farming
Student Exploration
Can we learn from our dirty past?
Other than simply having a visually appealing look, this landscape has a functional purpose as well. What do you think that it is?
Extension Investigation
- Around the world and throughout history, civilizations, like the Incas, have developed terracing. Here is an image of terracing at Machu Picchu: Why do you think that they created these terraces?
- Here is an example of how terracing is used in Guinea for farming: http://wws.peacecorps.gov/wws/multimedia/slideshows/gna_jacobs.cfm How does a terrace work to limit soil erosion? What tools do the people in Guinea use to measure the slope? Why is it essential to have these terraces?
- What other communities are using terrace farming? Research a community that is using terrace farming. Include in your report where the community is geographically located, what they are farming, and why terrace farming is necessary. As a class, you could create an interactive map displaying all of the researched communities. To get you started: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Farming-Like-the-Incas.html?c=y&story=fullstory
- Explore Europe's soil types and textures through the European Soil Data Center MapViewer (http://eusoils.jrc.ec.europa.eu/wrb/). Once you familiarize yourself with the site, propose a site in Europe that could benefit from terrace farming. Provide along with your proposed site an explanation that includes a connection between the soil type/texture and the need for terracing.

If the point of unfairness was what caused the dog to pop, then the judges should have told the handler to not complete the mark but pick up the dog and come back for a re run. The fact that they let the dog complete the mark means that mark should be scored but the third uncompleted mark would be the only one left to score on the re run. Just my thoughts anyway.

Dr. Rubenstein's basic research interest is in developmental neurobiology, particularly the development of the forebrain, the area of the brain that is required for the highest intellectual functions. His clinical interest is in neurodevelopmental disorders. Early in his career, Dr. Rubenstein applied his training in biophysics to basic explorations of membrane structure and biogenesis. Later, he used antisense RNA and retroviral vectors, advanced techniques for manipulating genetic information, to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of embryogenesis.
Dr. Rubenstein trained at Stanford University and the Pasteur Institute in Paris prior to joining UCSF. While serving as a resident physician at Stanford Medical School, he began experiments on the genetic control of forebrain development that remain the focus of his work at UCSF, where he examines genetic mechanisms underlying epilepsy and cognitive disorders.

The Hangover. Hadn't seen it before. Very funny.
The Hangover. Hadn't seen it before. Very funny.
I caught Strange Days on cable yesterday, about a weird tech dude (Ralph "Don't Pronounce My Name Correctly" Fiennes) in Dec. 1999 (remember Y2K and the end of the world?) who has a technology that's a form of virtual reality. Angela Basset, Tom Sizemore, and Juliette Lewis also appear. Violent, freaky, disturbing, somewhat confusing, and sadly still a negative commentary on current society; but I couldn't turn it off.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I just read through the plot synopsis of Strange Days on Wikipedia (this is my new thing, since I hate paying for movies that end up sucking).
Yikes! That movie sounds AWFUL!
The A-Team (2010. Definitely different than the tv show, but enjoyable. The writers were getting a little confused on the team's military origins: Rangers or Special Forces?
The Losers (2010). Good shoot 'em up. Watched it twice.
Inception (2010). Beeen wanting to see it for a while. It was good, and I think I understand it.
Dillinger (1973). The title tells it all about this early 70s gangster tale. Warren Oates is Dillinger and Richard Dreyfus (!!) was Machine Gun Kelly or Pretty Boy Floyd.
Scareface ~ I'd never seen it before and while I thought it was good it didn't live up to the hype.
Was that SCARface, JJB? I checked, and Scareface is a film about a clown-by-night, cosmetologist-by-day story. I have a sad list of famous and top-ranked films I've never seen (some of which would get my Guy card pulled, if too many people knew)... so I'll list (LISTS... :drool: ) them below anyway:
- The Exorcist
- any Saw film
- any Woody Allen film
- any King Kong version
- The Blair Witch Project
- Lawrence of Arabia
- Dr. Zivago
- any Godfather film
- Good Will Hunting
- most Sean Connery Bond films
- Titanic
- Scarface
- Good Fellas
- The Usual Suspects
- Jaws
- Amadeus
- Psycho
- Inception
- Dr. Strangelove
- LA Confidential
- Braveheart
- Chinatown
- Singin' in the Rain
- The Deer Hunter
- Platoon
- Wall Street
- The Big Lewbowski
- Metropolis
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- Fargo
- Raging Bull
I'll stop before I make some of you mad.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
The only films from BCJ's list I have not seen are:
Titanic - Which I refuse to watch EVER!
Inception - Which I own on blu-ray but have not had time to watch yet.
Fargo - Just have not gotten around to it.
Films I have watch but do not really remember because it's been so long since I have seen them, as I was a child/kid/teenager when I saw them:
Lawrence of Arabia
Dr. Zivago
Singin' In the Rain
Raging Bull
I should probably re-watch them at some point. Half of the films on the list I own on DVD or blu-ray.
May the force be with you.

Category: Jellies, Anemones and kin view all from this category
Description Anthopleura elegantissima, also known as the aggregating anemone or clonal anemone, is the most abundant species of sea anemone found on rocky, tide swept shores along the Pacific coast of North America. This cnidarian hosts endosymbiotic algae called zooxanthellae that contribute substantially to primary productivity in the intertidal zone. A. elegantissima has become a model organism for the study of temperate cnidarian-algal symbioses.
The polyps of Anthopleura elegantissima reach up to eight cm across the oral disk with approximately 100 tentacles in three or four rows around the margins of the oral disk. Most are olive to bright green (depending on the species of algal symbionts present) with tentacles tipped in pink. Individuals that live in microhabitats that are deficient in photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), such as under docks or in caves, lack symbionts and are pale yellow to white in color.
Habitat Rocks, Piers, driftwood & pilings, Tidepools.
Range Alaska, California, Northwest, Western Canada.

I opened up my Sandtrooper and he turned out fine. The only thing I did not like was the helmet having much more paint wash than the rest of the body but that's something a little bit of carefully applied acetone can fix.
I'm opening up Maul tonight so hopefully I like that one more than some others have.

Anyway, your question leaves a lot to be desired. What are you accusing people of not believing? Christianity I'm assuming? Well just like the many sects of Buddhism, Christianity too has many branches that differ from one another in very fundamental ways; so please do set me straight on which particular faction you're referring to.
Or perhaps maybe the non-believers are non-believers in God? Well, what's your definition of God? Because whatever you think God is, is not going to be what I think "God" is; if that's what you wish to call it. So also enlighten us as to what you believe God to be.
Now, as to the perceived attitude towards 'religious folk', is that you have to understand that some horrible things have been carried out in the name of God. Religion has it's uses, but make no mistake it has it's demons as well. Are you familiar with 'The Inquisition?', or perhaps the Crusades? (look it up if not I won't bore you with all the details here). Point being that many wars have been carried out in the name of different religions, Christianity is not alone, Islam's driving force for it's expansion & conquering of surrounding territories was driven by a unified nation under Islamic faith, and so on and so forth. As far as modern times go, you have all these Priests raping little boys, the Pope running around worrying about gay marriage and birth control, it just seems like an archaic institution at this point to most people. Than on the other side of the globe you have extremists committing suicide bombings. So, all that coupled with the fact that there's just a tonnnnnnnnn of ****ing dumb people who lean on religion so they don't have to make an attempt with their feeble, monkey, meat-computer to figure out what the **** is actually going on. So you have to understand the stigma. I get it all the time with Weed, makes you stupid, yada yada, you know the rest.
Now, I'm very curious both from the atheists side, and also from the people who considers themselves a follower/practitioner of a certain religion; How much do you know about the other world religions? It absolutely stupefies me that no one I talk to seems to know the difference between say, Hinduism and Buddhism, or between Islam and Christianity. Much less what the difference between Zen Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism, or even so much as heard of the Tao. The word "Yogi" for most of you is associated with a cartoon bear.
I understand that if you're like me and went to a public high school, you didn't learn very much about world religions. You might not have even learned about them in college depending on your line of study, but come on people, make an effort. Know the basics at least, I mean, how can you claim to have the best doctrine when you've never examined a word of any other? Or for the atheists how can you go around making judgements when you yourself are obviously just as uninformed as well?
Maybe I'm coming off as condescending, but it does irk/frighten me that we have the internet and all this access to information, and yet too many people don't make an effort to try and figure out what is happening here.
I'll leave you with a couple thoughts from the coolest dead guy I know, Alan Watts.
Mahatma Gandhi: I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Jesus: Lay not your treasure where moth nor dust doth corrupt.
^ Fav Jesus quote. It's essentially saying don't be a materialist, if you're slow. Jesus was such a groovy hippy.
Thanks Vaark!
Last call for alcohol.
Jesus saves....

Did you not say that a team was elite if they consistently made the divisional round? (Final 4 of your conference) You get there with a bye, or with 1 WC playoff win. Any team that doesn't win a Super Bowl proves that they are not on the same level as teams that do win the Super Bowl.
If you are just examining 1 season in 2010, how can NE be elite like GB when NE was 1 and done in the playoffs and GB won a Super Bowl? We have a much longer time frame to judge Atl, and since they have been consistently in the playoffs, I would call them one of the better NFC team, but not elite.

In Costermongers Eric Kennington painted an honest representation of London street life. He captured the individual characters of the hawkers using a hard-edge realism.
Shown in 1914 alongside George Lambert's Important people, the reviewer for the Daily Mail, 24 April 1914, described these paintings as 'huge staring groups of life-size people, represented in a brutal airless way, though with a great deal of technical cleverness', and acknowledged that they were protests against the 'namby-pambiness' of the usual group compositions.

Well, this concludes my fifth spring turkey season. I think I've improved quite a bit over the last five years. This year I was in the woods for a total of ten days for 49 hours, I was able to call in nine male turkeys, some of which were groups of three jakes, and two hens. The hens were the only things that came into shooting range.
There are still some things I need to work on for next year and I know there will be some big birds in my turkey woods. Bring on spring 2013

Family: Cupressaceae, Cypress view all from this family
Description Small to medium-sized tree reaching 10-15 m (rarely to 25 m) tall. Also known as Checkerbark Juniper. The bark is usually very distinctive, unlike other junipers, hard, dark gray-brown, cracked into small square plates superficially resembling Alligator skin; it is however sometimes like other junipers, with stringy vertical fissuring. The shoots are 1-1.5 mm diameter; the leaves are arranged in opposite decussate pairs or whorls of three; the adult leaves are scale-like, 1-2.5 mm long (to 5 mm on lead shoots) and 1-1.5 mm broad. The juvenile leaves (on young seedlings only) are needle-like, 5-10 mm long. The cones are berry-like, 7-15 mm in diameter, green maturing orange-brown with a whitish waxy bloom, and contain 2-6 seeds; they are mature in about 18 months. The male cones are 4-6 mm long, and shed their pollen in spring. It is largely dioecious, producing cones of only one sex on each tree, but occasional trees are monoecious.
Dimensions Height: 6-15 m. (20-50')
Diameter: 0.6-1.2 m. (2-4').
Habitat Mountains, Scrub, shrub & brushlands.
Range Southwest, Texas.
Discussion Five varieties, not accepted as distinct by all authorities:
Juniperus deppeana var. deppeana. Throughout the range of the species. Foliage dull gray-green with a transparent or yellowish resin spot on each leaf; cones 7-12 mm diameter.
Juniperus deppeana var. pachyphlaea (syn. J. pachyphlaea). Arizona, New Mexico, northernmost Mexico. Foliage strongly glaucous with a white resin spot on each leaf; cones 7-12 mm diameter.
Juniperus deppeana var. robusta (syn. J. deppeana var. patoniana). Northwestern Mexico. Cones larger, 10-15 mm diameter.
Juniperus deppeana var. sperryi. Western Texas, very rare. Bark furrowed, not square-cracked, branchlets pendulous; possibly a hybrid with Juniperus flaccida.
Juniperus deppeana var. zacatecensis. Zacatecas. Cones large, 10-15 mm diameter.

For the past 40 years, the Dillon Gym Youth Basketball League at Princeton University has connected undergraduate student coaches with local youth. Since its inception, the league has had some 10,000 participants.

Celebrating 40 years of the Dillon Gym Youth Basketball League
Posted February 24, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Forty years ago, a partnership began between the students of Princeton University and the local Princeton Recreation Department, creating the Dillon Gym Youth Basketball League.
The program was the brainchild of Jack Roberts, then Princeton Borough recreation director, and Sam Howell, former associate director of athletics at the University. From January through early March, University students instruct and coach local fourth- through ninth-graders on Saturday mornings. Since its inception, the league has had some 10,000 participants, more than 7,840 games have been played and nearly 26,000 minutes have been logged on the court.

"It's impressive," said David Leach, the University's associate director of athletics for campus recreation. "The sheer volume of young kids and parents -- faculty, staff and local residents -- creates such a great blend of community and University. There is obviously a lot of goodwill being extended. To me, it's been one of the best examples of town-gown relations."
The Dillon league has been characterized by a spirit of good-natured competition, according to participants. Here some of the league's earliest players take to the court in 1972, a year after the league was founded. (Photos courtesy of the Princeton Recreation Department)
Freshman Jordan Metro, a current coach and former league player, said, "The best thing about Dillon basketball is that it's all about fun. A great part of the league is that it highly encourages fair playing time for everybody. It gives everyone a chance to be the hero at the end of the game. I can confidently say that playing in Dillon basketball is one of my fondest sports memories from growing up in Princeton.
"Believe it or not, when I found out that I was lucky enough to be accepted to Princeton, the possibility of coaching Dillon basketball was one of the first thoughts that came to mind," he added. "As a coach it feels great to give back to the same league that I played in growing up."
The Princeton Youth Sports (purple) team faces the Vincent Baldino & Brothers (red) squad in the final game before this season's playoffs. (Photos by Denise Applewhite)
Freshman Thatcher Foster, a former league player who now coaches with Metro, said, "To be able to play with my friends in a fun environment while bonding with college coaches who were both fun and inspiring was surreal. Games were competitive but not cutthroat, and I would often wake up hours before to get to the gym just to be a part of the community. Now, it is my and Jordan's utter delight that we can return the favor. Coaching Dillon is almost as much fun as playing in it, because we remember the joy it brought us."
The current league players and coaches will be recognized on Saturday, Feb. 26, at halftime of the Princeton vs. Columbia men's basketball game.

Family and relatives
this wiki
This article details the family and relatives of characters in the show. For other relationships explored in the series, see relationships.
- Main article: Apple family
- See also Apple Bloom, Big McIntosh, Granny Smith
Uncle Orange appears with the name Mosely Orange in the fourth, sixth, and eighth waves of mystery pack toys;[1][2] according to the mystery pack collector cards, Mosely Orange "loves to have fancy parties!"
In issue three of the comic book, Applejack says her great uncle Honeycrisp was a lumberjack. In issue 10, Big McIntosh mentions a great uncle Needle.
The whereabouts of Applejack's parents are touched on in the episode Apple Family Reunion. At the end of the episode, the shot fades to a view of Sweet Apple Acres as two shooting stars fly through the sky. The shooting stars are meant to represent Applejack's parents according to storyboard artist Sabrina Alberghetti.[3] In Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Applejack tells Apple Bloom that their parents would be proud of her after she receives her cutie mark.
Lauren Faust had previously mentioned that the whereabouts of Applejack's parents has not been planned, and that the show is unlikely to mention that they've passed away.[4] Faust stated she wanted that to be the case.[5]
Mr. and Mrs. Cake
Carrot Cake and Cup Cake are husband and wife, respectively.
Pound Cake and Pumpkin CakePound Cake and Pumpkin Cake are introduced in the episode Baby Cakes. The main six are shocked to learn that Pound Cake is a Pegasus while Pumpkin Cake is a unicorn, though Mr. Cake explains it away as due to distant familial relations in both his and Mrs. Cake's lineages. They appear again in A Friend in Deed, where Pinkie fails to make them laugh with her routine, until the very end, when she sits on some jacks. Their third appearance comes in Ponyville Confidential, where they throw a tantrum, and are featured for it in one of Gabby Gums' articles. Pumpkin Cake appears briefly without her brother in Magic Duel, and in Magical Mystery Cure, Pound Cake can be seen in Pinkie's flashback. Both twins appear in Pinkie Pride as their names were mentioned during a musical number.
In Baby Cakes, Mr. Cake mentions his great-great-great-great grandfather, a unicorn, and Mrs. Cake's great aunt's second cousin twice removed, a Pegasus.
Princess Celestia and Princess LunaFour of the mentioned members of the royal family are Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Prince Blueblood and Princess Cadance. Multiple episodes state that Luna is Celestia's younger sister; The Ticket Master states that Blueblood is Celestia's nephew, though his trading card lists his family link to Luna and Celestia as being "far removed"; various promotional materials state that Cadance is Celestia's niece, and the chapter book My Little Pony: Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell specifies that Celestia adopted her as a niece.
On My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic book issue #5 page 16, after Luna says that something she had hoped would never come to pass is happening, Pinkie Pie attempts to guess what it is, with one guess being "Realize your mom was right about everything?!"; Luna responds to each guess with "No." The picture book My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea shows a sea lion called King Leo, who rules the underwater city of Aquastria and its seaponies and mermares; the book's dust jacket states that King Leo "sits on the Cosmic Council alongside his cousin, Princess Celestia."[6] One of the illustrated stories in the official My Little Pony magazine in France shows Celestia having a four-year-old cousin called Léon, an Alicorn who shares Blueblood's color scheme and cutie mark and Rainbow Dash's base character model. The magazine story's narrative does not fit into the animated series.[citation needed]
Lauren Faust, the show's creator, stated that Celestia does not have parents that outrank her,[7] that Luna and Celestia have no siblings and no children, and that Blueblood is "the great great great great great great great great great great great (and probably even more greats) nephew on Celestia's and Luna's mother's side, about 52 times removed, roughly speaking."[8]
Cloud Chaser
In Enterplay's collectible card game, Cloud Chaser mentions her parents in her quote on her Enterplay collectible card game card's Gen Con Indy 2013 demo version[9] and α #11 R version.
Fluttershy refers to the cockatrice's mother in Stare Master.
Coriander Cumin and Saffron MasalaCoriander Cumin and Saffron Masala are a father and daughter who appear in Spice Up Your Life as owners of a Canterlot restaurant called The Tasty Treat.
In Dragon Quest, one of the teenage dragons says that he thinks the dragon-costumed pony trio is Crackle's cousin.
Diamond Tiara

Proposed structure: Rich family.
Please use the comment section to discuss this change.
In April 2013, The Hub jokingly referred to Discord and the Predaking from Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters as "long-lost twins?" on Twitter[10] and Facebook.[11]
DJ Pon-3In Shining Armor's flashback in the IDW comics' Friendship is Magic Issue #11 story neigh anything..., DJ Pon-3 appears as a filly atop the unicorn stallion 33⅓-LP, who is modeled after her. In response to speculation of 33⅓-LP being a parent of DJ Pon-3's, artist Andy Price has stated "I think more big brother, considering the high school setting"[12] and "considering the high school setting, more of a big brother, I would think,"[13] and colorist Heather Breckel has referred to 33⅓-LP as not being DJ Pon-3's father.[14]
Emerald Green
In Enterplay's collectible card game, α #12 C, a card of Emerald Green, gives him the description "Emerald is sometimes confused for his winged cousin in Cloudsdale. He doesn't really seem to mind."[15]
Flim and FlamFlim and Flam are twins, with the only differences between them being their voices, their cutie marks, their hairstyles, and Flam having a mustache. They make their first appearance in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, with the intention of driving the Apple Family out of business. They appear again in Leap of Faith and Viva Las Pegasus.
FluttershyFluttershy's parents Mr. and Mrs. Shy and brother Zephyr Breeze appear in the season six episode Flutter Brutter. Mr. and Mrs. Shy are shown to be as soft-spoken and timid as their daughter, but Zephyr Breeze is loud, narcissistic, and lazy. He often freeloads off of his parents, who reluctantly allow this behavior, but this is revealed to be out of a crippling fear of failure.
On page 7 of the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Holiday Special comic, Rainbow Dash says to Fluttershy, "You know, I don't think I've ever met your family."
Gilda's grandfather Grampa Gruff appears in The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone.
In Shining Armor's flashback in the IDW comics' Friendship is Magic Issue #11 story neigh anything..., Poindexter says "My mom is going to get really mad if I get grass stains on her new turtleneck..."
In Fluttershy's flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, colt Hoops taunts filly Fluttershy by saying that his baby brother can fly better than her.
Moon Dancer
Moon Dancer has a sister in Amending Fences and also mentions an unnamed father who worked for the Canterlot Historical Society in Princess Twilight Sparkle and the Forgotten Books of Autumn.
Pinkie Pie
- Main article: Pie family
- See also: Maud Pie
In Pinkie Pie's Laughter Song, she mentions having been taught by "Granny Pie" to laugh at things that scared her, and in The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, the episode starts as Pinkie is preparing to try "Granny Pie's super-special triple-chocolate, fifteen-layer marjolaine recipe". In Too Many Pinkie Pies, she mentions that her "Nana Pinkie" told her of the Mirror Pool.
Lauren Faust said on March 15, 2013 that Pinkie's sisters weren't named as far as she knew, but they considered naming them "Mince Meat Pie" and "Chicken Pot Pie."[16]
Pinkie Pie and her family are featured in the chapter book My Little Pony: Pinkie Pie and the Rockin' Ponypalooza Party!, which names her mother Cloudy Quartz, her father Igneous Rock, and two of her sisters Marble Pie and Limestone Pie.[17] In the book, Granny Pie and Nana Pinkie are each mentioned again, and a third, older sister of Pinkie Pie's is also mentioned. The story description on the chapter book's back cover reads, "When the family rock farm is in trouble, Pinkie Pie tries to help in the best way she knows how—by planning a Ponyville 'rock' concert: Ponypalooza! The party will be super-duper cool and is sure to save the farm. But...Pinkie's family doesn't like the idea and wants her to be serious for once in her life. What's a pony to do?" Of the IDW comics' My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #5, Pinkie, Marble, and Limestone appear together as fillies in a picture on cover RI, and Pinkie and Marble appear together with Trixie both on a Jetpack Comics exclusive cover RE and on a Larry's Comics and Jetpack Comics exclusive cover RE.
In Enterplay's collectible card game, α #29 C, a card of Igneous Rock, lists his name with a trademark symbol and gives him the description "Pinkie Pie's father runs the most successful rock farm in Ponyville history. His sedimentary rock collection is the envy of absolutely nopony."[18] A "Pie Family Rock Farms" merchandise design is available through WeLoveFine.com as a T-shirt and formerly as bags.
It was announced on July 20, 2013 that "we get to meet Pinkie Pie's sister in #mlpseason4!"[19]
In Pinkie Apple Pie, it is suggested that Pinkie Pie is a possible cousin to the Apple family, but all evidence given leaves this unclear.
In Pinkie Pride, Pinkie Pie looks at a photograph of her "whole family." In addition to her parents and her sisters Marble and Limestone, there is a third sister[20] with them as well, making an overall debut appearance. This sister of Pinkie's, Maud Pie, appears in person in the episode of the same name
In Rarity and The Curious Case of Charity, Cloudy Quartz is mentioned when Rarity receives a letter for her birthday party in the mail.
Princess Platinum
King Bullion
In the episode Hearth's Warming Eve, Spike states that Princess Platinum is the unicorn king's daughter.
Rainbow DashIn Games Ponies Play, during her flashback as a filly, Rainbow Dash is shown standing on the back of Rainbow Blaze, an adult Pegasus stallion with a similarly rainbow-colored mane and tail. Her relationship to Rainbow Blaze is not explicitly referred to. Next to Rainbow Blaze is Rainbowshine, an adult Pegasus mare with exactly the same eye color as Rainbow Dash but no similar coat or mane colors. In the Enterplay collectible card game's expansion set Canterlot Nights, #17 C, a card of Rainbow Blaze, lists the quote "Of course Rainbow Dash is a good flier. I taught her everything she knows!"
When asked of the possibility of exploring Rainbow's family, Jim Miller replied "as long as the show stays on the air, anything is possible!"[21]
To promote The Cutie Mark Chronicles, The Hub's website gave users three potential stories for how Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark. Rainbow Dash's parents are mentioned in one of the alternate stories as "loving, supportive parents" who tried to help Rainbow Dash find her mark.[22][23]
Rainbow Dash's parents will be formally introduced in an upcoming episode of the seventh season.
When asked about whether or not Rainbow Dash has any siblings, Miller responded that "maybe you'll find out someday!"[24]
Sweetie BelleSweetie Belle is introduced as Rarity's little sister in Stare Master. In both Stare Master and in Sisterhooves Social, Rarity gets frustrated with Sweetie Belle's attempts to help her.
Hondo Flanks and Cookie CrumblesRarity and Sweetie Belle's mother and father are introduced in Sisterhooves Social, but their names are not mentioned in the show. Rarity's mother is visibly a unicorn, while Rarity's father often wears a hat that obscures his horn. They sport Upper Midwest American/Canadian accents and a questionable fashion sense. The mother has the same body design as Mrs. Cake. Rarity's mother strongly resembles the G3 unicorn Garden Wishes. Her looks are also similar to a G1 unicorn named Buttons and a toy named Ribbon Wishes, but has a different eye color than the latter. Rarity's father is enthusiastic enough about Sweetie Belle's burnt cooking that he asks for Rarity's untouched plate. He later makes a background appearance in One Bad Apple, sitting on a jetty and fishing, with burnt food and a glass of burnt drink next to him. Both parents appear in Inspiration Manifestation with the father's horn and the mother's cutie mark both shown for the first time in the series. Rarity's father's cutie mark is a set of three American footballs and he is voiced by Peter New; their mother is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain who also voices Rarity.[25] Lauren Faust, the show's creator, was interviewed by M. A. Larson in a panel in Equestria LA 2015, where she said Rarity's parents were made "on the fly" without prior planning. Rarity's mother's cutie mark is obscured by her pants in Sisterhooves Social, but is shown to be three cookies, two of them whole and one with a bite taken out of it, in Inspiration Manifestation and on page 145 of Little Brown's My Little Pony Friendship is Magic official guidebook My Little Pony: The Elements of Harmony.[26] On the same guidebook page, Rarity's father is shown wearing different clothing, revealing his horn.[27] In the Enterplay collectible card game's expansion set Canterlot Nights, #45 C and #68 C, cards respectively of the father and of the mother, give them the respective names Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumbles, each with a trademark symbol. Both parents also appear on page 16 of the IDW comics' Friendship is Magic Issue #9. Rarity's parents are available as playable characters in Gameloft's mobile game. The game gives her father the name Magnum[28] and her mother the name Betty Bouffant.
Silver Spoon
Babs Seed refers to Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara's mothers in One Bad Apple.
Snips and Snails
After the Foal Free Press prints a Gabby Gums column about Snips and Snails in Ponyville Confidential, Snips mentions that his and Snails' mothers always told them they'd end up in the papers someday.
Spitfire's mother Stormy Flare appears in Rarity Investigates! to watch her daughter perform.
Chief Thunderhooves
In Over a Barrel, Chief Thunderhooves mentions his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and great-great-great-grandfather.
RumbleBoth Thunderlane and his brother Rumble are introduced in Hurricane Fluttershy, when both are seen standing together during tornado duty training. During the final event, Thunderlane doesn't show up and Rainbow Dash asks Rumble, "Where's your lazy brother?" Rumble tells Twilight and Rainbow Dash that Thunderlane has fallen sick with the Feather Flu.
Rumble appears next to Thunderlane at the beginning of Inspiration Manifestation.
Lord Tirek
Tirek and his brother Scorpan once planned to steal the magic from Equestria. Scorpan betrayed Tirek after learning of friendship and befriending Star Swirl the Bearded, and Tirek was imprisoned in Tartarus for his crimes. Tirek later refers to his brother as "weak minded" and "worthless."
King Vorak
Tirek's father is the king of an unnamed land in My Little Pony: FIENDship is Magic Issue #2. He is suspicious of his son's lust for power, so he restricts the time he spends outside the castle.
Queen Haydon
Queen Haydon is Tirek's and Scorpan's mother. She is the wife of King Vorak.
Twilight Sparkle
Twilight Velvet and Night LightTwilight Sparkle's parents are briefly seen in a flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, during the wedding ceremonies in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, during the princess coronation in Magical Mystery Cure, and in more flashbacks in the IDW comics story arc Neigh Anything. In the first season, they enroll their daughter in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, much to her delight, and they accompany her at her entrance exam. When Twilight's powers go out of control, they are briefly transformed into an agave and a cactus. In the second season, they attend their son's wedding. In the third season, they attend their daughter's coronation. In the comic stories, they have speaking roles.
Neither of the parents is named in the show or in the comics. The mother strongly resembles Lauren Faust's original concept art that was based on G1 Twilight, and she appears with the name Twilight Velvet in the fourth and sixth waves of mystery pack toys and in Gameloft's mobile game; according to the mystery pack collector cards and the game, Twilight Velvet "loves writing stories about adventures." The father shares Noteworthy's color scheme, and appears to be visually based on the G1 German release Rainbow Pony Nachtlicht. Twilight's mother also appears to have the same magic glow as her daughter, as seen when she gets a tissue for her husband in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 and Magical Mystery Cure.[29]
Shining ArmorShining Armor is introduced as Twilight Sparkle's older brother in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1. Before his debut, he was announced as a part of a then-upcoming toy set "Pony Princess Wedding Castle" which comes with him and his bride Princess Cadance. Shining Armor also appears in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2.
Princess CadanceTwilight recounts in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1 that Princess Cadance was her beloved foal-sitter when she was a filly. By the end of A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, they become sisters-in-law by Cadance's marriage to Shining Armor.
Flurry HeartBaby Flurry Heart is Twilight Sparkle's niece, announced by Shining Armor and Princess Cadance in The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows and introduced in the season six premiere.
Shining Armor mentions he has a "favorite uncle" in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1 and wears this same uncle's badge at his wedding.
The Smile Song in A Friend in Deed was to have introduced Twist's mother, who would have been named Shimmy Shake. Writer Amy Keating Rogers "thought that since The Twist is a dance, it would be cute if Twist's mom had a dance name too!"[30] The scene was ultimately cut from the final version.
Sisterhooves Social

Inducing Labor Naturally
So im 39w 1d today and 6 more days to go and it's my duedate. How do I go into labor naturally? Im scared if my OB will induce me, it might hurt so badly...I've tried walking, cleaning the house, takin EPO and Im still 1cm dilated since last week. i just find it so slow and I want to go into labor asap.
17th January 2013 07:00 AM #2
Try not to focus too much on your due date. Only about 5% of babies are born on their due date! As a woman, you have the right to go into labour naturally. If you go into labour naturally then you are more likely to have a low intervention birth. So, try and relax and trust your body and your baby to be born when he/she is ready. Here are some natural ways to help start labour, however, they will only work if your baby is ready to be born.
* Make love! It helps to produce oxytocin to kick-start labour.
* Walk lots - but don't overdo it
* Relax in a bath and visualise your cervix beginning to soften
* Eat plenty of fresh pineapple
* Try a spicy curry
Thinking of you,
Best wishes,

thanks for your response. I tried to walk lots last night and this morning and im spotting right now. could this be a good sign?? i hope so...
19th January 2013 03:55 AM #4
In labour, spotting usually means your are dilating and that is a good sign! Any news?
19th January 2013 06:32 AM #5
Ooooh it sounds like your show - which usually means labour will be soon to start. How exciting!
Spotting is normal just before/ in labour. However, any heavier or bright red bleeding should be checked out by a doctor.

Congratulations on your baby.
I came to this post late but would recommend acupuncture to bring on labour and also cranial osteopathy can be effective too.

Hi iyah80
Congratulations on the birth of your baby! My second little girl was born January 21 2011 making our babies almost exactly two years apart, and your baby about 11 weeks old now.
How is it all going?

Induced labor
Hi, I've given birth after an induced labor at 41 and I want to ask is it healthy to do this or should I have waited for the labor to produce normally? I'm asking this because I'm thinking of getting pregnant again in two or three years.
Thank you
21st August 2013 06:06 AM #10
Please can I ask why your labour was induced Nicoleta? As this will help us to answer your question fully.
The issue with inducing labour is that it often starts a cascade of events. For example, a woman has her labour induced, she is more likely to need an epidural for pain relief because she cannot move about as freely or use a birthing pool, this means labour is more likely to slow down or even stop and a c-section is then more likely to occur which introduces more risks (such as the risk of infection) to mother and baby.
Many hospitals have a policy where they routinely book women for an induction when the woman is a certain number of days overdue (such as 41+10 days). However, many women and health professionals are now raising their voices about this issue as in the huge majority of cases it is unnecessary for a woman to be induced merely because she is overdue. The Positive Birth Movement is raising awareness about the benefits of waiting to have a natural labour and the right of women to do so.
Many women agree to being induced because they are told that their baby is at risk of being stillborn if they are 2 weeks overdue. Women are often told this is twice as likely if they are 2 weeks overdue. However, the study being referred to actually shows that the risk goes from 1/2000 (at 40 weeks) to 1/1000 (at 42 weeks). However, it is thought that some of these babies would sadly always have been stillborn. Whilst no-one wants to think about something so devastating, these figures are still very small.
Giving birth naturally also means you have lots of the hormone Oxytocin flowing when you give birth. This is known as the 'love hormone' and helps with mother to baby bonding.

my labor was induced because I had 41 weeks and that my doctor was on 24 h duty and really wanted to get birth under his supervision. I didn't receive though any painkillers and I don't know how natural labor should occur but it seemed very rough for me.
Thank you
23rd August 2013 06:44 AM #12
I am so sorry to hear that. I don't believe that labour should ever be induced simply to meet a doctor's schedule. Babies don't arrive according to a schedule! Especially as you were only 41 weeks it is extremely likely that you would have gone into labour naturally in the following week. In by far the majority of cases labour starts when a baby is ready to be born. It is a delicate process and if the woman is in comfortable surroundings and lots of Oxytocin is being produced then the cervix will begin to open more and more until the second stage of labour when the baby travels through the birth canal.
When labour is induced, the woman's body may not be ready for labour to start and the medication used also stops the flow of natural Oxytocin. This means that labour is more likely to be painful and a woman is more likely to need pethedene or an epidural in order to cope with the pain.
Once again, I'm sorry to hear that you had a difficult inducement. If you contacted the Positive Birth Movement (linked in my comments above) about this then I'm sure they would share my sentiments. It is a woman (and her baby's) right to go into labour naturally - this is particularly the case if there is no medical reason contraindicating this.
How do you feel about your birth experience now?
Best wishes,
23rd August 2013 01:57 PM #13
Hi Nicoleta
I just wanted to jump in and second LJ's sentiments. Babies know best when they are ready to be born and we generally see the best outcomes for both mothers and babies in labour and birth when the processes are allowed to unfold naturally.
To induce a women to meet a schedule is just plain selfish. It demonstrates a lack of respect for the delicate balance that is birth and for the women and child who are actually experiencing it. In 1971 my mother was induced so her doctor could avoid being interrupted during his weekend golf game - how rude is that?!
These types of views are important to assess in choosing a doctor should you go that route again. As an alternative you might like to consider an Independent Midwife next time, either instead of or to compliment a doctor's care. To explore this idea you might like to review this section the PBB website: Private midwifery
For anyone else reading this post and looking for ways to naturally induce labour, the following article makes very interesting reading: Inducing Labour Naturally

Hi ljmarsden and Mumof2IVFmiracles,
I have to say it was very difficult to cope with, I also don't have a natural birth to compare it with but I think that for me it was a very traumatizing process that I've gone through. As a consequence I'm not sorry at all because I have my baby now and she made our life a heaven but I have my reservations when thinking of giving birth again.
Thank you
24th August 2013 07:16 AM #15
I'm so, so sorry to hear that.
To me, your birthing story is a violation of you as a woman. Whilst we don't know for sure how your labour would have turned out if you had been supported in allowing labour to start naturally - the statistics point to a natural labour as more likely being an easier labour and a positive birthing experience. Birth is about beginnings - and these beginnings stay with us for the rest of our lives. This is why it is so important that everyone understands the need for birth to be a positive, respectful experience - whatever turns the birthing journey takes.
Many hospitals offer an afterthoughts process where you can go through your labour notes in detail with a midwife - do you feel able to do this? How about writing your birthing story down in detail so you are able to acknowledge, and grieve if necessary, for each part of it? Have you considered any form of counselling to help you? Birth trauma is very real and very difficult - but there is lots of support available. You are doing so well to share your story here.
You have a beautiful baby now but I disagree when we are told 'that is all that matters' - of course having a baby is the greatest blessing and is the reason for the birth and changes our lives in uncountable wonderful ways. However, the way we give birth does matter. It matters because it is part of our story as mothers and it is the beginning of a life-changing event that we visit in our memories again and again.
It doesn't have to be the same next time around. I experienced post traumatic stress after the birth of my first baby. Like you, I was worried about giving birth again. However, I spent a lot of time researching birth and took a Hypnobirthing course and decided to get a doula to support myself and my husband. The birth of my second son was hugely positive and, in many ways, I can't wait to do it again There is no reason for your future births to be totally different from the first. I know it can be hard to believe after just one experience which was traumatic - but birth can be positive and life-affirming.
Thinking of you,

Congrats to all who placed at the N. Texas Trial. The tests were hard but fair. Congrats to John and Martha and Tubby for the Open win. He was perfect through the whole trial. Congrats also to Sylvia and Gracie. Despite having the dubious distinction of running first in both the Open and Am (with pheasants no less!)

Looking back at top local stories of 2012 -- Part 2
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Gov. Walker survives recall
It was the biggest story in Wisconsin politics this year.
Gov. Scott Walker became the first-ever U.S. governor to survive a recall.
The June election attracted attention -- and money -- from across the country.
"Thanks to all the people who yet again entrusted in me your vote as the governor, to be the 45th and continue to be the 45th governor of the great state of Wisconsin," said Walker.
Walker beat out Democratic challenger Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
"I just got off the phone with Gov. Walker and congratulated him on his victory tonight," said Barrett.
Walker's win came nearly a year and a half after arguments over collective bargaining rights in Madison sparked a political firestorm.17978960
Drought sweeps Midwest
The summer wasn't just a time of fiery political rhetoric; the worst drought in 50 years caused increased fire risk across the Midwest.
A burn ban meant fireworks were banned in many counties on July 4.
The drought also dehydrated crops across the region.
"When you have thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars riding on this crop; you wake up in the morning and you see hot temperatures forecasted, your guts are in knots," said University of Wisconsin Extension Agriculture Agent for Crawford County Vance Haugen.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicted the drought could cause food prices to go up 3 to 5 percent next year.
Record-Setting Heat Wave
It wasn't just dry weather gripping the Midwest this year; it was heat.
July 2012 was a record-setting month for La Crosse. Not only was it the city's hottest July on record, it was the hottest month on record.
The dangerously high temperatures led to two heat-related deaths in La Crosse County.
It also hit Mother Nature hard. Dead fish lined the shore of the marsh in La Crosse.
"The marsh is getting shallower and shallower. Water temperatures are getting in the 90s, and we're going to lose this fish population" said Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources official Ron Benjamin.
Jennifer Livingston stands up to bullies
News 8 morning anchor Jennifer Livingston made international headlines for taking a stand against bullying.
In October, she used a critical viewer's email about her weight to touch off a discussion about bullies.
"To all of the children out there who feel lost, who are struggling with your weight, with the color of your skin, your sexual preference, your disability, even the acne on your face -- listen to me right now. Do not let your self-worth be defined by bullies," said Livingston.
It struck a chord with people all over the world, getting more than 10 million views on YouTube and landing her on programs like CBS' "This Morning" and "Ellen."
On New Year's Eve, she was featured on the "Today Show" as one of three women who have inspired in 2012.
