Hi ladies. I just got back from my 31 week appointment and my doctor thinks I may have preeclampsia. My blood pressure is not high and there does not appear to be extra protein in my urine, but she is concerned about the amount of swelling I have and resulting rapid weight gain (6 lbs in 2 weeks!). I have been put on a low sodium diet and she will re-evaluate next week to see whether the swelling has gone down or whether I am preeclamptic (in which case she wants me on bedrest and likely induction at 37 weeks). Has anyone been in a similar situation? I don’t understand how I can be preeclamptic if I don’t have high blood pressure, but on the other hand I don’t think the rapid swelling is due to sodium because I eat fairly low sodium to begin with. I will ofcourse follow doctor’s orders and discuss my concerns with her next week at my next appointment, but in the meantime I am very confused and worried and am hoping hearing your experiences will shed some light on the issue. Also – has anyone been diagnosed with preeclampsia and was allowed to deliver naturally (no induction or C-section)?
Sleep safety question– when did you start letting your kid sleep with something like a lovey in their crib? When my daughter takes a nap in her bouncer, I put one of those aden & anais muslin blankets on her lap, and she likes to hold onto her lovey and rub it on her face as she falls asleep. The lovey is a small stuffed owl head attached to a “blanket” that’s about 10″ x 10″.
I haven’t let her sleep with it in her crib yet, and don’t use a blanket on her when she sleeps. She’s 6 months old. What do y’all do?
People who live in the city and take cabs/ubers – what do you do about a car seat? Do you have one as part of your stroller? Or just resign yourself to buses and trains only?
Help! I’m traveling solo with my 12-month-old in a few weeks, and I’m trying to figure out how to handle the car seat situation. So far, I’ve only traveled places with her where I’ve been able to get from the airport to the hotel via public transportation. This time I have to rent a car. She’s in a convertible car seat (too long for the bucket seat anymore), and I was planning to have her sit on my lap for the flight so that I don’t have to pay for the extra seat. Do I (a) bring my own convertible car seat, check it once I get to the airport, and then install it into the rental car, (b) rent a car seat along with the car, or (c) some other option I’m not thinking of? If (a), should I be concerned about a rental car not having those latches that make car-seat installation pretty easy, or is it really just older cars that are latch-less? If (b), should I be worried about the quality of the car seat and/or the possibility that when I show up at the rental car place, no car seat will actually be there? Thanks in advance!
