Q. Hello, I am 38 weeks 2 days pregnant. I went to my doctors today and I am 3 ci dilated and the baby's head is very low. The doctor stripped my membranes and monitored me for a couple hours and nothing happened. What is your experience with membrane stripping, should this help me go into labor sooner?
oh and this is my second pregnancy , my little boy is 6 .
oh and this is my second pregnancy , my little boy is 6 .
A. i had mine stripped at 37 weeks or so cause i was really really uncomfortable and had been for like the last trimester. so my OB did it. nothing happened for me.. it was uncomfortable and i started bleeding and spotting.... i went for my next app the next week and she induced me because my fluid was really low... so it didn't work for me, however i hear from a lot of women that it does work to naturally induce. i hope it works for you cause i know how you feel and it would be nice to finally get the pregnant thing over with and start with mother hood.. CONGRADS mommy to be.... i hope all goes well and GOD bless your little one!!!
Are there any institutions such as the American Planned Parenthood in the Netherlands?
Q. My sister recently moved to Amsterdam to live with her boyfriend. She does not have health insurance and is not a citizen. She just found out she was pregnant. Since she does not have a lot of money, are there any institutions that specialize in women's health that are on a sliding scale such as Planned Parenthood? Thank you for any help you can give me!
A. I take it you mean that your sister is living illegally in the Netherlands? That puts her and the baby in a very tricky and vunerable situation. Without living legally here she would never be able to register the birth and then her child would also fall out of the system and I really do think that's a scarey situation to place a child in.
To be part of the process which is provided to pregnant women then by she would have to have the basic health insurance which then gives her the right to visit both the doctor (the first appointment) and then afterwards the midwife service which will monitor and see her pregnancy through to term
I really don't want to preach, but as her sister I would really urge you to appeal to her sensibilities and look to the long-term. Of course she wants to be with her bf, but now there is a child involved then the needs of the child should be paramount over their own desires. It would be honestly better for the child for her to return to the US and have a quiet & unstressful pregnancy and then at the same time apply legally for the family formation visa option so that she could move to the NL with her child to join the father. If she is found to be living illegally in the Netherlands then this will jepodise her chance for a residence permit in the future, and let's face it, she can't live the rest of her (and her child's life) as an illegal immigrant and hope that neither will ever get caught (e.g. how will the child be able to register for school for example?)
As it stands the national policy on illegal immigrants means that local authorities are not allowed to help illegal alien. There are exceptions to this in the case of vunerable aliens who are homeless but your sister as an American living with a Dutch citizen would not be shown this degree of sympathy I fear
At this point it suddenly dawned on me, I was on the assumption that she would want to keep the child but was looking up what the American Planned Parenthood association was and reading I realised this was my assumption and you didn't state it either way. Do you mean that she wants to terminate the pregnancy? If so then she would have to seek a doctor to start the process anyway. Even Dutch associations offering advice e.g. CASA which offers part of the services which the APP does in this regard (if I understand what the APP does) confirms that you need to consult a doctor first and will need this referal letter in the case of a termination http://www.casa.nl/en
I'm afraid I don't know what else to recommend for her, and hope that maybe someelse has more ideas

Why does WIFI lose quality and speed the longer you stay on?
Q. Seriously, I'm computer retarded and just wondering why it does that. It goes from 54mb/sec to 10 or less sometimes.
A. If you speed is dropping then it is nothing to do with how long you have been connected it must be down to another problem.
Generic advice for improving wif reception [you give no info on the router or what device you are connecting with]
To start with the basic rule is to position the wifi router as high and as centrally as possible in your house.
1] Try changing the broadcast channel from the wireless setup interface for your router/modem.You can normally access this by typing "http://192.168.0.1/" into your browsers search bar and then look for the wireless settings menu.
You don't say if your router can use the 5GHz frequency or just the 2.4GHz. The best channels in the 2.5GHz spectrum are 1,6, 11, or 13 as they have less overlap with the other channels.
There is a useful article here about how to get the best performance by selecting the best channel.: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21132/cha�
If you have an android smarthphone, or a friend does, then install the Wifi Analyzer app free from android market and use it to scan for the best channel and change your routers broadcast channel accordingly. This app will aslo show you all the wifi signals in range that your neighbours are using, so you can select a different channel to them, making a stronger signal for you. https://market.android.com/details?id=co�
2] You can use a tool like Nirsofts totally free WirelessNet View to look at all the local wireless signals that are within range and may be competing with your own router and interfering with reception. from here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_ne�
3] You can buy a Wi-Fi booster like D-Link 645 Smartbeam, here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-DIR-645-W�
Devices such as these can actually boost the wifi signal by using multiple beams that bounce of the walls and are intelligently directed toward whatever device [smarhphone, laptop, tablet] you are using on wifi.
4] If your using the 2.4GHz frequency and not the 5GHz then other devices that use this frequency band can alsso interfere with your reception [eg baby monitors and microwave ovens use 2.4GHz]. Try and make sure that none of these devices are situated between your router and your wifi receiver eg laptop, tablet, smarthphone etc

Why is my internet so much slower on my laptop?
Q. I'm with virgin, both my computer & my laptop are connected to my via wireless connection. But my laptop gets but a small fraction of the speed my computer does.
Any ideas on how to sort this out?
Any ideas on how to sort this out?
A. I assume that although you say both the laptop and desktop use a wifi connection that they are not situated in the same place. It is likely that the signal strength will vary in different positions in your house. If the router supports the latest draft n wifi standards and so does the wifi adapter in your desktop then check that your laptops adapted supports 8011n too. If it only supports earlier wifi standards like 8011.g then this is much slower and the reason for the difference.
If the wifi chip in the laptop also supports the 8011n wifi standard then there are several things that can affect wifi signal and things you can do to try and improve things
