best baby monitor for hearing impaired image
candy177
I've looked a little bit online and found a monitoring system where you basically hook your whole house into this receiver (phone, doorbell, alarm clock, baby monitor etc) that comes with light functions and a vibrating disk to put under the mattress. The baby monitor is sold separately and can be hooked up either way also. Together, all of this costs about $225-250. Do they have cheaper systems? In the 2 years that my husband and I have been together, we've never really seen the need to get anything like this for the phone and such...and since we have an apartment, we don't have a doorbell anyway.
Reason being - my husband is hearing impaired and we're thinking of having a baby in the next year and a half or so...I just want to be prepared. :) I don't think the little Fisher Price monitors that vibrate would be strong enough to wake him if I was at work...

My female friend is at the 6 month mark. The baby weighs just about a pound. How could this baby turn out?

Her HCG levels are low, and at this point in her pregnancy (6 months) for it to weigh "less than a pound" seems pretty bad. it is a female.
I would also like to disclaim to the obvious numbskulls on here who have no real information or credible professional advice, albeit meaningless opinons to please go somewhere else as this is a serious matter.
Thank you for your understanding.
Answer
Her HCG levels shouldn't dwindle unless she miscarries which at 6 months wouldn't happen, she would go into preterm labor. HCG is a chemical found in pregnant (or a chemical pregnancy) womens urine. HCG doesn't bounce around.
She could have low progestrone or a high protein precentage in her urine but unless the fetus has died in utero her HCG SHOULDN'T change.
At 6 months along a baby should weight a little more then a pound. Not much more though. If the doctors are concerned about growth and the baby is measuring well below size and the baby continues to be failure to thrive in utero, your friend should expect to be admitted to the nearest hospital with a level 4 NICU. She may stay on the OB special care (or some hospitals call it OB High Risk) floor for a few days or WEEKS to monitor closely the growth/heat rate/development of the fetus. If it is determined that the chance of life for the baby is better once delivered(and there are a lot of babies born at a pound. Its not uncommon) the hospital will administer steriod shots to mature the babies lungs. They will do an emergency CSection, vaginal delivery would be too stressful on that premature of a baby. The baby would be on a ventalator, a PICC line, a feeding tube, under heat lamps. The baby may even be on life support at first with round the clock nurses (usually 2 nurses) monitoring solely THAT baby.
With a baby born at 6 months your facing the certainty of life long mental and physical handicaps. Females typically do better then males but at that gestational age the chance of survival is about 30%.
The baby could (the baby WILL..) have brain bleeds, which can resolve but leave most babies mentally impaired. Babies born early loose eye sight, some even go blind. Their hearing is poor too, some go deaf. Their bowels are immature and parts of the bowel can die (called NEC), it can be fatal or reguire surgery after surgery. Cerebal palasy is almost gaurenteed.
Babies born that early have a varitey of mental and physical handicaps but pulling life support or the ventalator and terminating life due to complications is a very personal choice. A lot of the super micro preemies pass on their own and a lot of those babies really aren't compatable with life.
Babies that do THRIVE that are born at about a pound often need GTubes and never eat orally just liquides through a machine that can be attatched to the stomach, need trachs to breath because of esphagoal problems, are in wheel chairs, need several medications a day to deal with a score of medical problems, need nasal oxygen and will reguire a home health nurse.
