Pregnant Women Should Not Take Antidepressants

On a recent study that was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, researchers found out that the use of antidepressants during early pregnancy puts the child at an increased risk of having a heart defect.


The study suggests that taking the antidepressant buproprion within the early months of your pregnancy doubles the risk that your baby will have Left Outflow Tract Defects. Children with this defect suffer from blood flow problems from the heart’s left chambers to the other parts of the body. Most of the time, children with this condition will need a surgery, especially when the body’s main artery is tightening.

Such conclusions were based on a research conducted among 12,700 infants born between 1997 and 2004 in the United States.

Infodose thoughts: Women who are pregnant and even those who are planning to conceive should make it a point to see their ob-gyne and ask about the various medications that they cannot take and the activities that they cannot engage in once they become pregnant.

Proposing? Give her the Engagement Mouse

Diamond engagement rings are ancient. If your wife-to-be is a blogger, a software developer, a writer, programmer, a twitter or Facebook addict, or someone who uses a pc for most part of her daily living, you might as well give her something she could use and flaunt everyday as a sign of your love for her – the most expensive optical mouse diamond in the face of the planet. This mouse from Pat Says Now costs $26,730 or just about PHP 1,246,503.83, a fair price to pay for getting a lovely lady to share a life-long adventure with you and to be the mommy of your kids. The topside and keys of this precious computer accessory are in 18-carat white gold and 59 diamonds weighing 2 carats. This engagement mouse is made-to-order and the good news is that you can personalize the diamond patterns on it – for an extra fee of course. Infodose thoughts: If you are already married, don’t fret mommy. You can encourage your hubby to buy this luxury mouse for you as an anniversary gift or a birthda...

The WIPI PHONE, what?

Meet the future landline phone – The WIPI Phone. Yes, WIPI. On its back, it has an ethernet jack, usb jack, and power jack for optimum connectivity and media transfers.  Upfront, there’s a touch screen display, a number pad, and a time display. And here’s the big surprise – it has video screen and a video camera so you can do video conferences via your new landline. The WIPI Phone is also perfect for display – on your desk, on your headboard, and on the kitchen table. The design is superbly stylish. Look how slim and sleek it is! And the stand just makes it seem like a laptop.  There’s a handle on the top too. Unfortunately, it’s still not up for grabs. It’s a design by Ku Bon-Seop from YankoDesign.com. Let’s just all wish that Samsung or some other brand can make this concept a reality soon. Infodose thoughts: Mommies would love this. This would perfectly fit any futuristic living room or bedroom setup. Also, with this at hand, teens may find a reason why they could stay...
