Any good news coming from throwing up morning, noon and night for seven months, I would hold it dear to my heart! I would like to think all my throwing up wasn't for nothing... On a serious note, the study only suggests that severe morning sickness to be associated with having children with higher IQ; however doesn't suggest it leads to it! Meesha yeeynaan wax isku qasin... It would've been nicer if they could come up with a way to stop morning sickness altogether...

If you have doubts now, there'll always be that 'what if' in your head...Marriage shouldn't be about keeping it in the family or setting examples for your siblings...It is what makes you happy, content, and waking up to actually look forward to that day... Dooqaaqa ka cayaar!

Moms-to-be who suffer from morning sickness throughout pregnancy might give birth to smarter and brighter baby, suggests new Canadian research. Scientists at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children's Motherisk Program discovered that morning sickness appears to be associated with enhanced neurodevelopment of the fetus and that babies whose mothers suffered from nausea and vomiting, later tested a few IQ points higher than the children whose mothers had nauseous-free pregnancies. Morning sickness, which affects as many as 80 per cent of pregnant women, is the most common condition of pregnancy and often one of the first of its signs. The condition typically starts around the second week of pregnancy. It is the most common reason for a woman to be hospitalized in her first trimester, and, in some severe cases, can result in dehydration, salt and vitamin imbalances as well as weight loss. Morning sickness is little understood, but many doctors assume that it is linked to altered levels of hormones, such as estrogen, HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), and thyroxine. It has been known for a long time that nausea is an indicator of a healthy pregnancy. The condition has been associated with a lower risk of miscarriage and a lower risk of heart malformations in the fetus. Some scientists believe that morning sickness is a defensive mechanism of the body to let women vomit out things she might have eaten that may be harmful for the fetus. And while past research has concentrated on how pregnancy queasiness affects the outcomes of pregnancies, this new study appears to be the first to look at the long-term impact of the nausea on the cognitive skills of the babies at a later time. The new findings were based on the study of 121 pregnant women who have been recruited through a morning sickness hotline run by the Motherisk program between 1998 and 2003. Participants were assigned into three groups: the first group included 45 mothers who experienced morning sickness and were treated with Diclectin (a drug that is used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy), the second group included 47 women who went through a morning sickness torture and did not take any medication, and finally, the third group consisted of 29 participants who did not suffer from morning sickness at all. The women had similar IQs and came from similar socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. Other factors such as number of cigarettes smoked by a mother every day and alcohol consumption were also taken into consideration. When the children of those pregnancies reached the ages of 3 and then 7, they all were assessed with a number of age-appropriate psychological tests, including measures of intelligence and behavior. The results revealed that all kids across the three groups scored within a normal range of neuro-developmental outcome. However, the children of mothers with morning sickness scored higher on performance IQ (games and tasks), numerical memory, verbal fluency and phonological processing, which shows how well children learn the sounds of letters and letter combinations. The experts discovered that the more severe the morning nausea was, the more likely were the kids to get higher scores. They noted that maternal IQ also played not a last a role in the outcome. Furthermore, the study found that kids whose mothers who were taking the drug Diclectin for the relief of pregnancy-related nausea, did not have lower scores than children whose mothers did not take the drug in order to cope with morning sickness. The authors of this study say that morning sickness is still puzzling and that there is a need for further investigation to find out what exactly is triggering it. That could then help the scientists to come up with better ways to manage it. Source

Today, I planted seeds with my daughter for Earth Day...She keeps checking on them every few minutes, and when she sees nothing has grown yet says 'Are the seeds sleeping mommy?'... Ahhhh, what a way to end a long day! Alxamdulilah...

This did not come easy walahi...I've been searching since November...Habartey ducada waaka dhamaatay...Shidh I deserve this (I mean alxamdulilah)...Ther e were times when I was up til 2am searching the net for jobs or reseaching companies...I just hope I fit in with the company...

It is already hard enough finding a job, with every other company downsizing/restructu ring in this tough economy, and if you don't have any hands-on experience for a specific field, it just makes it that much more difficult...Your best bet will be to volunteer to gain experience in your field... Do not limit your job search to just the newspaper or net, almost 80% of jobs available aren't advertised... Tips to access the hidden job market: 1. Networking - ask friends, family, teachers if they have any job leads. 2. Research potential employers/sectors by either cold calling them or going on their web site. 3. Do informational interviews of companies of interest. Call them and ask to set up an information interview to gather information for a specific field. At the end of your interview with them, ask if you can leave your resume. 4. Attend as many job fairs as you can. 5. Register at temp agencies, they are the best way to get your foot at the door, specially if you don't have experience in your field of interest. However, be careful, never pay them to find you work. 6. Find out if there are government-run wage subsidy programs available in your area. And most importantly, 7. Make sure your resume is job specific. Use some of the terms used in job ads in your resume to stand out from the rest. Hope this helps, I know how frustrating it can be, as I am also job searching... Good Luck!!!

I always think women who marry more than once are gangsters with strong will and determination. I have a cousin whose been married 7times!!! If it was not xaram waan uu suujudi laaha, she is no nonesense at all. Soomaali baa horey ugu maahmaahday 'Silac kunool, sodon guursataa dhaanta'!!! While I don't see being divorced as a huge issue, the thought of getting married time and again is just a little odd! 7 times, in one life time is just a tad bit too extreme... Originally posted by NGONGE: I am sorry for all I said, KK. Ciridkaas ( ) might've worked in the past, I need xaal!!! Monetary one at that, I'll pm you the details, just hit me up when you are ready with the dough... No women should ever pick a MAN over her mother or family. Easier said than done...I say no loving, caring mother or family should make her daughter to choose! They may voice their opinions, but they shouldn't put their daughter in position where she will have to pick one over the other...
