Pregnant with Twins information
I am eight weeks pregnant with twins. I saw both heartbeats a week ago. Could you tell me what my odds are for successfully carrying both babies from this point?Question:
Peg Plumbo CNM
Peg Plumbo has been a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) since 1976. She has assisted at over 1,000 births and currently teaches in the... Read more
The happy diagnosis of twins also carries the realistic prognosis that this pregnancy may be at greater risk for problems. Miscarriage, fetal loss, intrauterine fetal death, placental problems, pregnancy induced hypertension, unequal (discordant) fetal growth, genetic as well as biochemical and "positional" fetal defects, and especially preterm labor all occur with more frequency in a multi-fetal pregnancy.
Miscarriage occurs at approximately a three times greater rate with multiple fetuses. If the babies are "monozygotic" or identical (from the same egg), the risk goes higher as it does with other problems as well.
The reassurance that we can sometimes provide to women after seeing the fetal heart on ultrasound does not necessarily extend to a twin pregnancy. Because twins are more likely to suffer other problems, visualization of the fetal heart, while somewhat reassuring, is not as reassuring.
One of the best indications of potential miscarriage in twin pregnancy is a disparity of 3 mm or more between the twin gestational sac diameter (if less than 49 days gestation) or between the twin crown-rump length in later gestations. When such discrepancy exists, the rate of miscarriage is 50 percent or higher.
Miscarriage may impact only one baby. The existence of a "vanishing twin" syndrome has been shown with a prevalence rate at about 21 percent. In this case, one twin is reabsorbed leaving the other twin to develop normally. This situation is seen more frequently in scans performed before 12 weeks.
A large percentage of mothers carrying twins in this decade have undergone some type of fertility treatment. Such women tend to be older and the literature is showing that infertile women have a profound increase in spontaneous pregnancy loss even after the early documentation of fetal cardiac activity. In addition, an abrupt increase in spontaneous abortion rates was seen in women over the age of 35 years.
A recent study from a perviously infertile population reported a seven percent incidence of spontaneous abortion after the early detection of fetal cardiac activity by transvaginal ultrasonography. Additionally, another study evaluating pregnancy outcomes in 293 pregnancies in previously infertile women with early documentation of fetal cardiac activity reported an incidence of spontaneous pregnancy loss of 11 percent.
Miscarriage also occurs more frequently with increased maternal age in fertile women. A large study in a fertile population reviewed the transabdominal sonograms of women presenting before 10 weeks of gestation for prenatal care. The overall loss rate after seeing the fetal heart was 2.1 percent. In this study of fertile women, the miscarriage rates ranged from 1.6 percent to 2.6 percent for patients less than 39 years of age. A miscarriage rate of 13.6 percent was noted in patients more than 40 years of age.
Ultrasound detection of fetal cardiac activity has been shown to have a higher positive predictive value for viability than the presence of either a gestational sac alone or the use of biochemical markers. The presence of fetal cardiac motion by transvaginal ultrasound in previously infertile women aged less than 30 years is highly reassuring. In one study, no pregnancy loss occurred in these women after documentation of fetal cardiac activity within 35 to 42 days after ovulation.
Thus, patients more than 35-years-old should be counseled that their risk of spontaneous abortion is significant even after early detection of fetal heart motion by transvaginal ultrasound. Furthermore, previously infertile women more than 40-years-old should be informed that their risk of pregnancy loss is increased fivefold over women 31 to 35 years of age. Despite the optimism engendered by the early confirmation of fetal cardiac activity by transvaginal ultrasound, the prognosis is guarded in these patients until a minimum of 10.4 weeks, when subsequent miscarriage rates should decline.
Although I don't know the precise statistics for twins as we've found for older infertile mothers, the risk of miscarriage is significant even after visualization of the fetal heart.
Despite all of this, a twin pregnancy has a good chance of being a healthy pregnancy. With proper care, nutrition and support, there is a high likelihood that the pregnancy will go to term or near term and you will have two healthy babies.Answer:

By Subhash K. Jha, IANS
In the past couple of years Akshay Kumar has discovered his funny bone. And boy, is he using it?
Right from Priyadarshan's "Hera Pheri" to David Dhawan's "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi", to Priyadarshan's "Garam Masala" and now yet another full-throttle comedy after barely two weeks... phew! Could it be a case of comic overkill?
Blessedly Akshay carries off the incessant comic slant with a touch of cool. Whether it is dancing with sinewy damsels in a sweaty pub to one of Anu Malik's recycled mix 'n' match tunes, or belting out a babbling burlesque as he plots, plans and connives to keep Rimi Sen away from her college sweetheart, Shahid Kapur.
Akshay is wickedly funny and fully in sync with the carnival of comicality that director Vikram Bhatt unleashes in a feast of furiously feisty, sometimes tasty, sometimes extravagant gags and jokes.
The plot about a commodious bunch of glorified buffoons wooing the music video queen borrows generously and obviously from the Farrelly Brothers' hit movie "There's Something About Mary".
"Deewane Huye Paagal"'s mainstay is the extremely competent cast, each displaying an unexpected flair for the funnies. Akshay tops the hefty hauls of hilarity, while Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Suresh Menon (a laugh riot as the illegitimate heir of gangster Om Puri) create a satirical space in the hierarchy of hilarity where Akshay dominates at the top.
Shahid Kapur remains supremely detached from the simmer and swoosh emerging out of the comic cauldron. He transforms into a live wire on the dance floor.
The problem, if one may call it that, is with our Mumbaiyya Mary.
Cameron Diaz in the original was a stunner, a style icon among Plain Janes. Rimi Sen is at the most tolerably pleasant. The thought of the entire cast of male members - from the nerdy Shahid to the blind Asrani - acquiring an alert position at the very mention of this woman is more appalling than appealing.
But that's the magic of cinema for you. Suspension of disbelief and all that... The myth of the mirth is well exercised in the length and breadth of this film.
Vikram Bhatt with eye-catching assistance from cinematographer Pravin Bhatt furnishes the farce with a delectable dimension. The parodic romantic story is set in Dubai where the sleek roads, laden malls and luscious ladies contribute tellingly to the narrative's over ripe ready-to-be-plucked look.
The texture is titillating and the mood is provocative. The lush locational advantage compounded by zingy anything-goes lines (Neeraj Vora and Abbas Hirapurwala) and an over-blown climax with revved-up motorbikes and somersaulting cars in the sand dunes, create an atmosphere of designer-bravado.
At the end of it all, you find saying 'so okay' instead of 'so what'. Skirting the futility and repetitiveness of the last two big comedy releases, "Shaadi No. 1" and "Garam Masala", "Deewane Huye Paagal" bites as much as it chews.
The excesses occur in following the Farrellys' farce too closely. The merciless jokes about the physically disabled and the unmentionably cruel things

- 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms*
- 2 cups boiling water
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 3-ounce package thinly sliced prosciutto, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide slices
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
- 1/2 pound small button mushrooms, trimmed

- 1 cup chopped green onions, divided
- 2 large eggs, beaten to blend

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread bread cubes in single layer on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned and slightly crisp, about 18 minutes. Cool.
Combine porcini mushrooms and 2 cups boiling water in medium bowl; let stand until mushrooms are soft, about 30 minutes. Strain, reserving soaking liquid. Chop mushrooms.
Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto and cook until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Melt butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and onion to skillet and sauté until soft and brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary, and porcini mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add wine and boil until almost all liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
DO AHEAD: Bread cubes, mushroom soaking liquid, prosciutto, and mushroom mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and store bread cubes at room temperature. Cover mushroom soaking liquid, prosciutto, and mushroom mixture separately and chill.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Combine bread cubes, 1/2 cup prosciutto, mushroom mixture, and 3/4 cup green onions in large bowl; toss to distribute evenly. Add eggs; toss to coat. Pour mushroom soaking liquid into 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough chicken broth to soaking liquid to measure 2 cups. Add broth mixture to bread mixture; toss to coat (mixture will be moist).
Transfer dressing to prepared dish. Bake uncovered until top is slightly crisp, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining prosciutto and green onions.
*Available in the produce section of many supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.
TEST-KITCHEN TIP: If the prosciutto softens before serving, place in a small skillet set over medium-high heat and stir until crisp.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My 6 year old goes to this school. And to be honest im very happy with the school.My son has learned tremendously here.His teacher Ms Banks is a great teacher far as I know.Im very happy with the success of my son learning ability at this school..Not sure abt other teachers but I really seems like she takes her time and really love her profession..I shows through the children..
My child used to attend Arrowpoint Elementary. She has attended previously Jennings school district but we moved. My child was attacked by another child. A child that the PE teacher stated was a problem child and had been suspended numerous times for the same issue. the Principle called me directly and advised i needed to pick my child up from school because she had been beat up by another student. "But in no way did your child start the fight." I asked why is she being suspended then? and the answer was to allow the children to cool off. My child came home every day exclaiming how she was not happy because the teacher would let the children take control of the class room. As a parent i attempted to get involved and speak with the principle who initiated she would look into the situation, I never heard back from her.
Wow, I'm a parent of a child in this school and this information alarms me. I know the principal, but I've never seen the assistant principal. I really didn't know they had one. They have what they call an Instructional Specialist, but no Asst. Principal. In fact, I visit this school often have seen teachers tell students things their parents should have told them. Teachers these days have to be instructors, counselors, parents, banks, etc. Sometimes we can eliminate the other roles teachers have to play if parents were more involved. This person writes like an uninvolved parent. This is NOT one of the worst schools in the district.
This is one of the worst school's in the district. The principal lacks leadership and many of the teachers are only teaching for the pay check. The staff are bad examples for the children, the assistant principal got in a fight with another staff member and police had to be called. Teachers degrade students in front of other students. Send you kid some place else
great staff that cares about the students educational success and creating a community for everyone in the school

Viv + Lloyd's wedding was truly amazing! Amazing in decor, amazing in emotion, & amazing in love! The big day took place right in front of Public Library in the heart of Downtown LA. Not only was this venue killer, but the decor rocked it too!
Also, I wanted to give a big shout out to all the fun vendors I got to work with that day:
Nancy & team with So Happi Together coordinated the event, Nicole DeAnne worked the lovely Hair & Make-up, My Sweet & Saucy and their to-die-for desserts, & Will Kim as my second shooter.
Second favorite shot of the day! Loved the teeny-tiny heart confetti that was passed out at the ceremony!
My favorite item of the day: the little heart pillow with colored pin-heads used for the money dance.
So fun, there was a silhouette artist for all the guests to get their silhouettes cut out, brilliant!
Viv + Lloyd, I can't even say how radical it was to be at your wedding! Here's your online slideshow with more pics from the day & a special song...I think you'll recognize it!

Wednesday, April 24, 2013--5:45p.m.
BELOIT--"It seems pretty quiet, there's no, I haven't seen any gang activity or nothing, you know," said Russell France, a new resident in one of Beloit's 50 neighborhood watch areas. "Prevents people from breaking in, you know and stealing stuff out of the yards, why not? you know, might as well do it," he said of the watch.
Police say the presence of a watch can help keep a neighborhood from heading in the wrong direction. "That's really what all of these programs in communities are doing nowadays," said Beloit Police Chief Norman Jacobs. "They need to stabilise neighborhoods to keep people there, so that they can build some kind of cohesion and fight the problems that split neighborhoods apart and get areas run down."
They can also provide police with specific information--rather than a generic, harder to use, tip. "Neighborhood watch groups are great for watching drug activity," said Chief Jacobs. "Now most communities have drug activity here and there in their communities, but a neighborhood watch group can give information to the police about the exact times and locations where drug dealing is happening in their neighborhoods."
And getting a watch started in your community is pretty simple. "It doesn't have to be an official neighborhood watch block group, it could be anything that your community offers," said Chief Jacobs, noting that several area communities offer watch-type programs.
If you're interested in getting involved with a neighborhood watch, contact your local police department.

Kershaw County Council seems one step closer to approving a second reading of the upcoming fiscal year's budget as council hammered out details during two budget work sessions last week and a budget work session Tuesday.
The opportunity to work in dual roles of law enforcement is what drew Crystal Rufus-Hodge into the corrections profession.
Citing thousands of added jobs and millions in commercial and industrial investment during the past several years, S.C. Secretary of Commerce Bobby M. Hitt is calling Kershaw County a success.
The feedback from Kershaw County residents at a public meeting Wednesday night was largely negative as citizens living near a proposed biomass plant set to be constructed on Park Road expressed a variety of concerns over the project.
Not much work was done on the upcoming fiscal year's budget during Kershaw County Council's meeting on Tuesday as council members decided to use later work sessions and meetings to hash out budget details before the end of the fiscal year on July 1.
Kershaw County Council officially named its new county administrator during its meeting Tuesday. Victor J. Carpenter has been hired as the new county administrator after serving as interim administrator for Abbeville County since February.
A recommended 10 percent increase in the county's budget was the hot topic during Kershaw County Council's work session Thursday.
After a bit of number crunching, Lugoff Fire District (LFD) commissioners think they've found a way to save three firefighters' jobs, pay for rising fuel costs and replace a fire truck.
Victor Carpenter may be the next county administrator for Kershaw County.
The S.C. Department of Transportation (SCDOT) named the Camden Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. as the 2010 Adopt-A-Highway (AAH) Group of the Year for Kershaw County. The SCDOT presented the award to the group at the AAH awards ceremony April 7 in Columbia. The annual event is hosted by the SCDOT to recognize the volunteer-citizen groups, coordinators and SCDOT employees for their participation in the AAH program. Clem Watson (left), SCDOT chief engineer of operations, presented the 2010 AAH Outstanding Kershaw County Group Award to chapter members (from second left) Dyron Anderson, Perry Mills Sr., Thomas ...
April 15th became a very special day to remember for one of Lugoff Fire Department's career firefighting staff. Jack Truesdale, assistant chief of the Lugoff Fire Department, was awarded the 2011 Volunteer Hunter Education Instructor of the Year for the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR).
Kershaw County Council passed first reading of its proposed 2011-2012 budget, 6-1, with Councilman Jimmy Jones voting against.
Kershaw County Treasurer Steve Vincent woke up Monday morning, May 1, and saw the news: Osama bin Laden was dead.
Prior to interviews Thursday evening with three finalists for the county administrator's post, Kershaw County Council (KCC) added two more candidates to the pool.
Kershaw County is in good financial condition, according to the annual audit of the county books by the accounting firm Sheheen, Hancock & Godwin. The firm's Mark Wood presented the audit summary at Kershaw County Council's meeting Tuesday. Wood said the audit was completed earlier than usual this year at the county's request so it would be concluded before newly-elected Council Chairman Julian Burns and Councilman Dennis Arledge take office in January.
Kershaw County Council will consider a relatively short agenda when they meet Tuesday. The accounting firm of Sheheen, Hancock and Godwin is scheduled to present the county's annual audit report to council.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - Plans are in the works to bring a one-thousand acre adventure park to Charlotte County. The park, known as Florida Tracks and Trails will include everything from zip lines to a water park. It's located on Bermont Road in Punta Gorda, three miles west of State Road 31. The people behind it have their sights set on bringing tourists, jobs, and money to Southwest Florida.
"Twenty-six miles of ATV trails, an eight-acre water park, a skateboard park, two different zip line courses," Mike Greenwell said, going over the plans. "We have an 18,000-person amphitheater, 15,000 seats, the ability to have up to 18,000 people."
And, included in those plans is a huge tourism boost for the area. "We just feel like it's close enough to I-75, it's the theory, 'build it and they will come,'" Greenwell said. "Let's face it, when Walt Disney World went in, there was nothing there."
First, they had to get approval from Charlotte County, and differentiate their park from the Redneck Yacht Club, a few miles down the road. They were required to fulfill 24 conditions, 21 of which were already included in the plan.
"You can't bring a cooler of liquor in our place," Greenwell said. "It will be managed and run like an outdoor adventure park should be run."
There are also plans for extra turning lanes and a helipad in case of emergencies. "All the safety things that need to be in place will be in place at this park," Greenwell explained.
He sees these plans expanding year-by-year. In the meantime, he expects to create 100 jobs at the park, and several hundred more in the surrounding area as it grows. "We are expecting to bring up to a million people in this park within a few years," Greenwell said. "When we start having concerts every month, there's going to be hotels and stores and things that are going to want to come in that area, so it is definitely going to help that area."
As it expands, Greenwell says we could even see roller coasters added to the park. Construction is expected to start in early to mid-2013. They hope to have the park open by early 2014.

Orosei Farmhouse Rental Photos and Description
A house that lets your mind wander. A writer here could write a great novel ... If you would rather read than write - a quiet place. For the active guest - you can go jogging in the 4-hectare olive grove!
Two bedrooms and a large kitchen are perfect for a family or a holiday for two.
We have tried to define the old residential new elements. Antique chests retained its charm, new colors enlivened the rooms. Heavy iron beds, airy curtains, antique shutters, cozy light sources give the Casa Ariola an unmistakable character.
A broad purple stripe visually connects all the rooms.
Outside there is a large barbecue, next Porzelanwaschbecken and a impostanter table from the marble of Orosei. This attraction you see in the background of the house! The outlook without sea but for the mountains - an absolute 'Wide'! The sprawling sandy beaches are located about 1 km from the house.
And even after Orosei it is not far. Great location, strong character house!

- children welcome
