A friend of mine had to give birth at week 27 for pre-eclampsia, complications, and things went so wrong. I dont want to enter into details here, but please, take care with the blood pressure. She's now at home, safe and recovering. I had no idea about this kind of problems until now, and they could be hard as hell...so I'm worning every pregnant woman I know :)<br /><br />Hugs, Sara Torregrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380978062679796125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-70265696236267257252014-06-18T01:34:25.426-05:002014-06-18T01:34:25.426-05:00Hi Kaleah,

On august I will be the aunt of a baby girl, and my sister in law is an emotional rollercoaster too (for example, she wants to steal my boyfriend's turtle. I don't know why, but it's funny!)...<br />A big hug!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-76416273230502536232014-06-17T22:32:10.551-05:002014-06-17T22:32:10.551-05:00Someone recommended Dr. Christiane Northrups, '...Someone recommended Dr. Christiane Northrups, 'Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom' to me because she has some great tips and thoughts on pre-eclampsia. I delivered my son at 38 weeks by induction from pre-e. I didn't read the book until after I delivered but I'd suggest it to anyone with those potential factors. Wishing you all the best for a smooth delivery! mamarae28https://www.blogger.com/profile/02397451100263562968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-2334003880726977632014-06-17T21:39:52.507-05:002014-06-17T21:39:52.507-05:00As a 19 year old college student with zero plans o...As a 19 year old college student with zero plans of children any time soon, I'm not sure what it is that's compelling me to these mommy posts. I get so excited when I see a mention of the baby or Toby (or Mike, love family time too) in your posts haha. I can just feel the happiness in these and it just makes me happy as well. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy - you've got this!Tunisiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791793474117306622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-65342601984607845632014-06-17T16:07:19.357-05:002014-06-17T16:07:19.357-05:00Aw, thank you for the incredibly sweet comment!

I love the way you talk about Toby whenever he comes up in an entry, and I imagine Toby and baby interactions will proooobably make me cry a little... which is the reason I commented in the first place. I might not be under the influence of pregnancy hormones, but I definitely feel ya on the crying at every little thing! There are certain songs I just can't listen to with breaking down, hahah. At least you get to be done with soon enough, though!Ellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697776917191251424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-19241928154346790852014-06-16T10:20:11.520-05:002014-06-16T10:20:11.520-05:00Pregnancy is so crazy!

On the first day of my 38th week I went in to my OB in the morning, got the blood work / urine, nothing turned up. That night I started having severe back/side pain and ended up developing HELLP syndrome (the most severe form of preeclampsia). I had to have an emergency C-Section that night and luckily my son and I were OK, but my doctors never warned me of the symptoms that I had--they only said to watch for "headaches" and "blurry vision." If you feel any sudden and severe back pain, severe pain in your side/chest (I swore I was having a heart attack), or start violently vomiting regularly (I was doing it every 30 minutes) GO TO THE HOSPITAL! I felt these symptoms slightly a few days before I got sick and thought nothing of them because I had no idea what they were indicating. Take care of yourself girl, preeclampsia is not fun. Check your blood pressure twice a day and be proactive with your docs by asking questions. Now that I've probably scared you (sorry!) enjoy the rest of your pregnancy because life gets cray once they're here :-) Tonya fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489879338808217176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-55544027003800819682014-06-16T08:51:05.602-05:002014-06-16T08:51:05.602-05:00Ah!

I'm just going to write what comes naturally. For a while it'll probably definitely be baby/mom stuff just because my entire life will be different, and I won't be doing all of my normal activities at first, so I hope you can understand/overlook it if it's not your favorite! Hopefully everything will balance out in the end though. This blog is meant to showcase the natural progression of my ~*journey. Starting out in NYC in college, seeing me through relationships and breakups, a marriage and now a family. I'm excited to see where it takes me next :)kaelah beauregardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296368974798527373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-18849129631349788072014-06-16T08:40:48.324-05:002014-06-16T08:40:48.324-05:00I went through the urine thing.

Everything turned out fine, but I was put on bed rest at 38 weeks for high blood pressure.
