A blood clot can happen without any underlying cause. However, pregnancy increases your risk of getting blood clots, you are predisposed until 6 weeks after delivery. There are three major reasons for this increased risk: Increased clotting. During pregnancy, your blood is more likely to clot. this is a survival mechanism that prevents your body from losing too much blood during labor and birth. Slower blood flow. The blood flow in your veins becomes slower which leads to higher probability of blood clotting. This is caused by the hormones in your pregnancy. Vein damage. During delivery, the baby presses on the veins in the pelvis, minor damage can occur in these veins leading to an increased risk of having a clot for up to six weeks after delivery. The likelihood of developing clots during gestation or pregnancy can be further elevated by certain risk factors. Knowing these risk factors can ensure that you stay on guard. The following preexisting conditions can greatly increase your chances of clotting. If you suffer from one or more of the following, discuss specific preventative measures with your doctor: Hypertension, diabetes, cardiac diseases, or vascular diseases. A damaged heart cannot pump blood as effectively as normal one, increasing the chance that blood pools and clots. Thrombophilia. Some people are born with a tendency higher risk of blood clots. Cesarean delivery. This doubles the risk of clots in comparison to vaginal delivery. A personal or family history of clots. If you've had blood clots before, you're more likely to have blood clots in pregnancy. This risk also increases if you have had an immediate family member with an elevated blood clot risk Previous use of oral contraceptives. Oral contraceptives increases your blood's ability to clot. These characteristics can continue after oral contraceptive use has ended. Multiple births. Being pregnant with twins (or more) puts more pressure on your pelvis and legs, increasing the risk of DVTs. Dehydration. Dehydration increases the viscosity of the blood, which can contribute to the formation of blood clots. Age. Pregnant women over the age of 35 are at increased risk of blood clots. Obesity is one of the major risk factors for DVTs during pregnancy or after delivery, which means that it is important that you maintain optimal weight. If you are planning to have a baby, you should try to reduce you weight so that your BMI is below 30. Minimize the amount of salt in your diet. Salt leads to retention of fluids in your body which cause swelling. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. This is especially important if you are overweight, as it will help ensure that you do not take on any more unhealthy weight during the pregnancy. Drink plenty of water. This will help you avoid dehydration. Immobility is another factor that increases your likelihood of getting DVTS. You should motivate yourself to do light exercise, such as walking and swimming. Most normal pregnancies allow for moderate exercise such as walking and swimming until full term. However, you should consult your doctor before you plan daily exercise, just to be sure. Smoking has been linked to DVTs, especially during pregnancy. Therefore, once you find out you are pregnant, you should quit smoking. Compression stockings are must-have for all women who are at risk of getting blood clots during and after their pregnancy. They are specifically effective for those who are faced with immobility for reasons such as travel or bed rest. If you have a history of blood clots or have a genetic predisposition to blood clots, inform your obstetrician or midwife. Your obstetrician may prescribe you injectable anticoagulants, a drug that prevents your blood from clotting.

summary: Be aware of the risk. Know if you are at risk. Eat healthily and maintain optimal weight. Stay Mobile. Quit smoking. Wear compression stockings. Contact a doctor.

Dietary requirements vary widely and will differ depending on the type of animal you have, so it's important to do your research and talk to a turtle retailer in your area. Most turtles need to be fed no more than once every three days or so. Turtles are primarily carnivores, while tortoises are primarily herbivores. Turtles enjoy eating mealworms, super worms, snails, grubs, and a variety of other insects. Tortoises enjoy fruits and vegetables, including dark leafy greens like kale and turnip, as well as corn and watermelon. Feeding turtles too frequently or feeding the wrong kinds of food can have serious health consequences. Turtles usually live a long time, so it's important to provide for your pet and make sure that you're providing the right amount of nutrition on a regular enough basis. Different species have specific feeding needs, so the exact dietary requirement of your turtle will need to be researched. Care Sheets, commonly provided at pet stores, will help you learn more. Commercial turtle food is usually fine. Available in pellet form, it's a mixture of dried shrimp, cricket, and a variety of vitamins and minerals necessary to keep the turtle happy. Any turtle food you can buy at the pet store will do. Amounts will vary depending on the size of the turtle. It's not recommended to feed your turtle table scraps. However, green, leafy vegetables are sometimes recommended for tortoises and turtles, and can provide a healthy snack, and if you're not opposed, turtles are generally huge fans of the occasional worm or grub, tossed into the tank. In most tanks, it's a good idea to use a small plastic dish from which to feed the turtles. These are commonly sold at pet stores, but you can also use any small plastic or glass dish that you've got. Many turtles will defecate shortly after eating. If you leave them in their feeding tub for a while after feeding, they will defecate in the dish. You get less waste in the tank this way. Not overfeeding will also keep the waste down. Like birds, some turtles appreciate having a cuttlebone to gnaw on, helping to provide the turtle with calcium and dental (beak) health. These are commonly sold at most pet stores for birds, crabs, and turtles.

summary: Feed turtles 2-3 times a week. Feed turtles and tortoises dry supplements. Prepare a feeding area for the turtle. Provide a cuttle bone.

with warm water and mild soap. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds to make sure you don't have lingering germs or bacteria. Rinse away all of the soap, then dry your hands on a clean towel. If your hands are dirty, you may transfer those germs or bacteria into your vagina, which can cause an infection. If necessary, you can use hand sanitizer to clean your hands before you insert the Softdisc. Use the same position that you use to insert a tampon. Spread your legs and relax your muscles so that the cup can slide into your vaginal canal. Choose the position that's most relaxing for you. If you're relaxed, insertion will be much easier. The opposite sides of the rim should touch each other. The Softdisc will be about the size of a tampon when it's squeezed shut. If you don't squeeze the disc, it will be difficult to insert it and it will not capture menses. The disc will lodge in place low in the vaginal canal. Slide your finger into your vagina in a slight downward motion, following the path of your vaginal canal. Keep pushing the Softdisc back toward your tailbone, not upwards. The Softdisc will fit just below your cervix at the top of your vaginal canal. If you push it upward into the canal rather than backward, it won't be in place and may leak. If you're worried it went upward, take out the Softdisc and re-insert it toward your tailbone. The Softdisc should conform to your body's natural shape. When it's in place, you shouldn't feel it at all. Stand up and make sure you don't feel the Softdisc as you move around. If you can feel Softdisc, it's likely not in place. Remove the Softdisc and re-insert it.
summary: Wash your hands Squat, put up one leg, or sit on the toilet to open your vaginal canal. Squeeze the rim of Softdisc for easy insertion. Push the Softdisc into your vaginal canal toward your tailbone. Check that you can't feel the Softdisc.
