Ultrasound During Pregnancy

By Barb Dehn, NP

Many pregnant women have one or more ultrasounds during their pregnancy. Also known as scans or sonograms, ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to create a visual image. These images are black and white with gray shading. The sound waves can’t be felt. Ultrasounds are considered safe and do not use x-rays or radiation.

Pregnant Moms Who Are Lactose Intolerant

By Barb Dehn, NP

Every mom wants to do the absolute best for her baby, but some have trouble getting enough calcium, and unfortunately lactose intolerance is very common. Some women are able to have lactose free milk or dairy products, some are unable to have any diary at all.

If you’re unable to have any dairy, look for some of the new yummy calcium fortified juices. I like the combination of orange and tangerine juice myself. Many apple juices are also available with additional calcium.
