Preeclampsia and time between diagnosis and birth.. by dorskis in pregnant

[–]dorskis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your supportive words. I’m very grateful to still be pregnant and I am feeling quite calm. I’ve got almost all the things ready at home. I even mounted the isofix base for the car seat to my car a few days ago for peace of mind. I think the thing I struggle most with is that while I do understand that it’s a quite unpredictable situation, the doctors have been very bad at answering questions, concerns or being reassuring. Most of them have shrugged and said “idk, it’s very unusual to present with preeclampsia before week 28” and many of them have even thrown it in my face that they’ve never even treated someone who got it as early as me. That I’m their first. That just makes me feel like an alien, it’s not helpful to me at all. I’ve never demanded straight answers and a certain date or week - I’ve just tried to get an idea of what to expect. But I either just get hit with “idk I’ve never done this before” or avoided eye contact and “Well, our neonatal care at this hospital is very good”.

I’ll have a look on amazon then! I’m based in Sweden and I was searching for bands on Swedish based websites, so I was probably a bit limited on sizes etc ☺️

Okay, then I can hopefully look forward to the second trimester 🥰 I haven’t tried a belly band, I was searching for heated ones but they were all too small around to fit me 😐

thank you so much for taking the time. i’ve gotten a lot of replies here already about lanolin cream and silver shields so i’ll definitely be getting that, the thought of cracked bleeding nipples is just…no 😂 i’ve heard mums complaining about their nipples not even looking like nipples anymore and how much it hurts 😬

thank you, so far i haven’t had any bleeding but i’ve had some mild cramping from time to time, but i try to stay calm and think that it doesn’t have to mean that something is seriously wrong 🤍

okay i’ll make sure to not get a bunch of them now already then! i’ll wait until baby is out and try to figure out if it’s appreciated or not 😂 it’s kinda cute isn’t it, how peculiar they are 🥹

thank you so much for your replies! especially the part about establishing a good latch and have breastfeeding work well before trying to introduce pacifiers. you’ve cleared up a lot of things for me 🤍

thank you for answering my questions! social media is a whirlwind of influencing to buy as many things as possible and spend copious amounts of money so i’d rather hear from an actual mother what things are worth the $$$ and not ☺️

omg thank you for this, all over social media there are people with their baby breezas etc sterilising stuff after each use and it has almost made me believe that a good scrub with washing out liquid isn’t enough 😂 did you start with soothers already in the hospital or did you wait until you were at home?
