High-Risk Pregancy
No pregnancy is totally with-
out worry, but for some wo-
men, special problems can
make pregnancy a time of high
risk.
High-risk pregnancies can
happen as a result of problems
before or during pregnancy, or
at the time of delivery. These
problems can include medical
conditions, as well as factors of
the mother's lifestyle. The Tex-
as Medical Association sug-
gests see your physician if you
are planning to have a baby, or
if you become pregnant, to
insure the best care for you and
your developing child.
Several medical conditions
that can result in a high-risk
pregnancy and cause harm to
both mother and baby are
diabetes, high blood pressure,
heart and kidney disease,
bleeding, and birth defects of
the developing child.
Diabetes is a disease where
the blood sugar levels in the
body are too high. This can
cause problems such as still-
birth (the birth of a fetus that
died before or during delivery)
and premature birth (birth
before 37 weeks). Sometimes
diabetes can be diet-controlled,
and in other cases, shots of
insulin, a hormone that regu-
lates blood sugar levels, are
required.
High blood pressure can
make women more likely to
have heart attacks during preg-
nancy. High blood pressure can
cause babies to be born too
early or too small. If high blood
pressure develops during preg-
nancy, it may be called pree-
daimpsia or toxemia. This po-
ses the same risks for the baby
and mother as if the mother had
high blood pressure before
pregnancy.
Heart and kidney disease can
make pregnancy a high risk.
Since pregnancy makes all the
body organs work harder than
usual, added stress is placed on
the heart and kidneys This
increases the risk of premature
babies, as well as the birth of
smaller babies.
Birth defects of the develop-
ing child also are factors in
high-risk pregnancies. Some
birth defects are due to genetic
factors. Age and exposure to
certain toxic elements are fac-
tors that also increase the risk
of birth defects. Through care-
ful testing and screening, some
of these defects can be detected
early in pregnancy.
Any vaginal bleeding during
pregnancy, especially in the
last months, can be a serious
problem leading to high risk.
Most of the time, this bleeding
involves the placenta, which
supplies nutriment to the de-
veloping fetus. Bleeding can
occur when the placenta partly
or completely covers the open-
ing of the uterus, and in other
cases, when the placenta sep-
arates from the wall of the
uterus before the baby is born.
Bleeding also can occur from
trauma, such as a car accident
or high blood pressure.
Some high-risk pregnancies
can be detected by tests run by
your physician. Three different
tests can help determine high
risk. An alpha-fetoprotein test
can help identify women who
might be carrying a fetus with
defects such as an improperly
developed spinal cord. A pro-
cedure called amniocentesis, in
which a small fluid sample is
extracted from the sac in the
mother’s uterus, can be used to
determine some birth defects.
Another test, ultrasound, uses
sound waves to create pictures
of the fetus. Ultrasound can
provide valuable information
about the position of placenta
and the baby.
The Texas Medical Associ-
ation suggests to reduce the
risk of a high-risk pregnancy,
discuss your plans to become
pregnant with your doctor.
Genetic counseling can help
identify a pattern of inherited
genetic disorders. Adequate
rest, exercise, and good nutri-
tion are especially important
before and during pregnancy.
You can help your baby by
stopping or limiting your smok-
ing and drinking.

BUDDY’S WORKSHOP
Steam Should Be Quiet
Our steam-heating system sounds like a train running through the
house. Should it be making all that noise? I would also like to know
what kind of cooling system you would suggest that would be
compatible with this heating system.
First things first. Steam should not make noise. Noise might
develop in a faulty steam heating system and it may not be easy to
cure the problem. An air valve on a radiator should permit only air to
come out; if steam is hissing out, the valve may have to be replaced.
If there is a knocking noise in the pipes, it is caused by water which
shouldn’t be there. When steam in the system condenses into water, it
is supposed to find its way back to the boiler. If some part of the
horizontal piping has drooped to form a low point, that condensate
water will lie there until the next time the steam comes through. When
the steam hits that puddle it drives the water along to the nearest
vertical piping, hitting it with force and causing the infamous “water
hammer.” Your heating contractor may be able to locate the source
of the trouble and adjust the piping to eliminate the problem.
In response to your other question, your choice of a cooling system
should depend on availability and cost of energy sources. My only
suggestion would be to install the cooling system in the ceiling, if
possible. Thai way you’ll have the best of both worlds: Hot air
around ground level that rises, and cool air up above that falls.
Aside from the cost factor, are there any other advantages of a
wood ladder over an aluminum one?
Yes. Wooden ladders are much safer when working with anything
electrical. If you plan on doing anything with wiring, go with the
wood.

LOOK AT THISI RESULTS
Newspapers Dominant Medium
Texas Consumers List Ad Likes, Dislikes
Texas retailers worried about
next year’s economy (1988) are
being given some mighty help
ful information from their own
customers who have just par-
ticipated in a unique statewide
survey.
That survey was to determine
what Texans “like and dislike
about advertising today.” Sam-
ple highlights of that survey in-
clude:
(1) Texas consumers fa-
vor aewspapers by a 3-to-
1 margin over all other
brands of media lor re
ceiving news and infer
nation from retailers. An
unusually weak regard
lor radio and TV commcr
rials was voiced strongly in
writing by consumers from
throughout the state;
(2) More than l-of-every-2
Texas consumers prefer
reading advertisements
printed as part of the news
paper, instead of those in
mailed circulars and other
type publications, and
(3) Texas consumers have such
strong opinions about the
media and advertising that
almost 1400 wrote their
opinions, and mailed them
to an Austin address. Each
return was .checked for
authenticity and accuracy.
Such findings came from one
of the most unusual surveys
to ever be conducted about the
reading and shopping habits of
Texans.
That survey, which was pre-
pared by the Texas Newspaper
Advertising Bureau (TNAB),
included the publishing in 135
Texas newspapers of a ques-
tionnaire touching on 20 top-
ics about media and advertis-
ing. The general public was in-
vited to complete and return the
form.
Making the survey addition
ally unique was the fact thatev
ery response had to be returned
by mail and in the handwriting
of each respondent.
“The results subsequently
provided confirmation of news-
papers’ overwhelming number
one role in. the lives and read
ing and shopping habits of Tex-
ans,” explained TNAB Direc-
tor John Taylor.
TNAB operates as an affiliate
under the umbrella of the 108
year old Texas Press Associa
tion (TPA), which is headed by
Executive Vice-President Lyn-
dell Williams.
Williams pointed out:
“Comments by so many con
sumers saying approximately
the same things offer solid proof
that no other medium comes
close to threatening the leader
ship role of the newspaper in the
community.
“As go ncwspa|>ers, so go the
community and our state."
Everything necessary to
achieve anonymity of the sur
vey was done to obtain objec-
tivity and accuiacy, “even in-
cluding the placing of newspa
per subjects in latter positions
in the published questionnaire
itself.”
Responses to the survey, in-
cluding those from the hun-
dreds who wrote their opin-
ions about the media and adver-
tising today, were studied and
cross-checked for possible er-
ror. So overwhelming were the
responses, in fact, that six foil
pages of excerpted commentary
were included in the published
report of the survey results.
Newspapers were chosen for
publishing the survey question-
naire, because most previous
studies by other agencies re-
vealed newspaper readers to
comprise a majority of today’s
voters and principal customers
of retailers.
Other highlights of the sur-
vey included:
• 75 percent prefer that re
tailers publish their adver-
tising in local newspapers,
as compared with 10 per
cent who chose TV, and 12
percent who selected radio;
• 52 percent read and re
tain ads the longest When
they’re printed as part of
the newspaper, as com-
pared to 35 percent who
like ad inserts in the news
papers, and 17 percent who
like ads mailed to them as
circulars;
• 92 percent read ads when
they're printed as part of
the newspaper, as com
pared with 58 percent who
read ads in newspaper in-
serts, and 50 percent who
read circulars;
• 71 percent redeem coupons
from the newspapers, as
compared with 64 |>ercent
, who redeem them from
circulars;
• 88 percent who read news-
papers also vote in elec
1 tions, and
• 52 percent obtain the most
information about elections
from the newspapers, as
compared with 32 percent
who listed jTV, and 13
percent citing radio.
This survey is believed to
be the only current study in
which respondents submitted
their responses in writing.
Meanwhile, results of a sec-
ond survey will soon detail the
public’s opinion about today’s
political elections and election
campaigns. Results or the po-
litical survey, which was con
ducted in 60 county scat news
papers throughout Texas, will
also provide information about
the public’s declining interest in
election campaigns and voting.
