Q: Abnormal vaginal bleeding is often one of the first symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy. This bleeding may be either heavier or lighter than what you normally experience during your menstrual period. It may also be accompanied by severe pelvic or abdominal pain. If you experience vaginal bleeding when you know you are pregnant, or if the vaginal bleeding is accompanied by severe pain or lightheadedness, seek medical attention right away. If you have pain in your lower abdomen or pelvic area, or cramping on one side of your pelvis, you may have an ectopic pregnancy. If this pain persists, worsens, or occurs with any other symptoms (such as vaginal bleeding), call your doctor or go to the emergency room right away. This pain may feel sharp or stabbing, and its intensity may vary from one moment to another. Ectopic pregnancy is sometimes accompanied by a sharp pain that radiates into the shoulder and neck. If you experience this symptom, especially if you know you are pregnant and/or the pain is accompanied by other symptoms (such as pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding), seek emergency medical care immediately. An ectopic pregnancy may rupture if left untreated, causing severe internal bleeding. Seek emergency medical care immediately if you experience the following symptoms of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy:  Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain that lasts for more than a few minutes. Light-headedness or dizziness. Stabbing pain in the shoulder or neck. This may be caused by blood in the abdomen or under the diaphragm putting pressure on nerves that run to your shoulder. A sensation of pain or pressure in your rectum (this may feel like an urgent need to have a bowel movement). This may be a sign of internal bleeding, which needs immediate medical treatment. Low blood pressure. Nausea and vomiting. Pain on 1 side of your body. Sharp abdominal cramps. Weakness. Fainting.
A: Note vaginal bleeding. Take abdominal or pelvic pain seriously. Check for shoulder pain. Go to the emergency room for severe symptoms.

Q: Volunteering is a great way to make yourself stand out in the application process and to make yourself more marketable. Though if you want to be a paramedic as a career, you obviously want to get paid, getting your feet wet without pay is a great way to make yourself a much better candidate when the time comes. If you're volunteering at a fire station or hospital, you will also gain connections there and will be much more likely to be remembered and noticed when the fire station or hospital needs another paramedic. Teaching is a key part of a paramedic's job, since you'll be expected to show new employees the ropes. So, if you can get some general teaching experience under your belt, hiring managers will be more impressed when they take a look at your resume. Once you have passed your paramedic's exam, you will be eligible for hire at fire agencies, ambulance companies and hospitals, or to volunteer with fire/EMS agencies. But having some volunteer experience or teaching experience can really help you stand out as a candidate. Don't be discouraged if you can't find work at first; there is a shortage of EMTs in the country and you will find your niche after some hard work. If you want to succeed in your career, then you have to stay on top of your physical game. While being a paramedic isn't as rigorous as, say, being a fireman, you should still maintain your cardiovascular health as well as your strength so you can continue to do your job.
A: Gain experience by volunteering or teaching. Get hired. Stay physically fit.

Q: You'll find this in the list of all of your apps. It may just be labeled Storage.  This will clear all of the app cache data on your device. You'll have to sign into your apps again when you next launch them.
A: Tap the Settings app. Tap Storage & USB. Tap Cached data. Tap OK.

Q: It's possible for anyone who is pregnant to develop GDM. However, there are some factors that increase your risk. Review your own health and medical history for the following:  Obesity, which is when your BMI is over 30. A family history of type 2 diabetes Current impaired glucose tolerance In a previous pregnancy: GDM, impaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose, or A1C over 5.7 percent.  Glycosuria (glucose in the urine test) at the first prenatal visit Being pregnant with multiple babies at once (e.g., twins, triplets, etc.) Being over 25 years of age Having African-American, American Indian, Asian American, Hispanic or Latino, or Pacific Islander ethnicity At any time during your pregnancy, create a journal to document any symptoms of GDM you experience. Share this information with your doctor at your next appointment. If symptoms are disruptive or frequent, you may want to contact your doctor between appointments for advice. In particular, be on the lookout for:  Unusual thirst Frequent urination Fatigue Nausea Blurred vision Frequent vaginal, bladder, or skin infections Many of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes are the same as the risk factors for GDM. If 2 or more of the risk factors are true for you, ask your doctor for a diabetes screening at your first prenatal appointment. If you currently have impaired glucose intolerance, your doctor may automatically order screening.  You can take a type 2 diabetes risk test online at http://www.diabetes.org/are-you-at-risk/diabetes-risk-test/. A non-fasting glucose level of >200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) may result in a diagnosis in diabetes, provided a similar level is shown the day after your first test. If you show diabetic symptoms during the first trimester, you likely don't have GDM, but type 2 diabetes. Careful monitoring of your condition is essential to ensure you give birth to a healthy baby. Even if you didn't have glucose levels consistent with diabetes at the beginning of your pregnancy, your doctor will likely screen for GDM once you are further along. Most doctors will screen all women at this point in pregnancy because the risk factors are so common.  If you had any of the risk factors associated with GDM and your doctor doesn't order GDM testing, request it specifically.  If you've told your doctor about GDM symptoms you've been experiencing, they may also test for sugar in your urine, another symptom of GDM.
A:
Evaluate the risk factors for GDM. Document and analyze any symptoms of GDM. Get a pre-screening for undiagnosed type 2 diabetes if you are at risk. Have GDM testing at 24 to 28 weeks gestation.
