Posted @withrepost • @themamanurse When it comes to taking care of a labor patient, there are a few things that get's your nurse moving fast.⠀ .⠀ One is a cord in the vagina. That creates a stir. 🏃🏼‍♀️⠀ .⠀ Another is Preeclampsia!⠀ .⠀ Every pregnant woman should be aware of the signs of Preeclampisa and H.E.L.L.P. Syndrome. ⠀ .⠀ Preeclampsia is a disorder that occurs during pregnancy, and the postpartum period following the delivery.⠀ .⠀ 5-8% of all pregnancies end up preeclamptic⠀ .⠀ Preeclampsia during pregnancy (or postpartum) is no joke. It's severe.⠀ .⠀ It and Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are the leading cause of maternal AND infant illness/death in the world!!!⠀ .⠀ Preeclampsia is a multi-organ dysfunction.⠀ .⠀ The cause is not completely known.⠀ .⠀ But here are some risk factors:⠀ 📍pregnant with more than one baby!⠀ 📍1st pregnancy⠀ 📍Your momma or sister had it.⠀ You are a baby still (less than 20 years old).⠀ 📍You have diabetes.⠀ 📍Kidney Disease or organ transplant.⠀ 📍You already have Hypertension ⠀ 📍BMI over 30⠀ 📍1st pregnancy with new partner. ⠀ .⠀ Signs of Preeclampsia:⠀ 🚑 Severe Headache not relived by meds⠀ 🚑 Protein in your urine (hence why it's dipped every visit during pregnancy)⠀ 🚑 Sudden swelling⠀ 🚑 New onset Nausea/vomitting⠀ 🚨Visual changes VERY SERIOUS⠀ 🚨 Pain under right ribs VERY SERIOUS⠀ 🚨 Shortness of Breath/ Anxiety VERY SERIOUS⠀ 🚨 Hyperreflexia but this one you won't be able to tell, we will! ⠀ .⠀ HELLP syndrome may be part of Preeclampsia but may be all on it's own.. If your OB will run blood tests to diagnose. (very limited explanation)⠀ .⠀ Treatment for Preeclampsia⠀ .⠀ This depends on how far along you are.⠀ .⠀ if you are later in your pregnancy or very severe. The main treatment is getting the baby out, more importantly the placenta needs out of dodge. ⠀ .⠀ Read the article to see what you can expect once admitted to labor and delivery. I've run out of room here..LOl⠀ .⠀ PS if you had preeclampsia and are in your postpartum period. If you go to the ER for any reasons, tell them you had preeclampsia. ⠀ .⠀ Comment & Share your experiences with Preeclampsia. Reposted from @labor.nurse.mama #pregnancy

I just love this.💕🙏😭 Posted @withrepost • @carriagehousebirth ✨WHOLE PICTURE BIRTH✨ @gypsynspice - SO, this is a whole picture birth where everyone is crying. And it’s uncomfortable because you never see videos like that. I think when you have another baby, you ask something really big of your other babies. You ask them to grow up. Whether they are in the room watching or not. And I asked and watched Lilly become reborn into a big sister. And you know what? In all those hundreds of birth videos we watched to prepare us for this moment, we never saw one where the older sibling cried. I wonder why that is. Surely, Lilly isn’t the first? And so Lilly cried, Jacob cried, and I cried. And the three of us cried together as we brought baby June into our family. I love you @ovlacekaj and I love watching your love grow @lillynjune ❤️ #birthofmama #birthofasister 👀👀👀 and that is our AMAZING birth photographer @valerieblakephotography snapping away silently 👀👀👀👀 #carriagehousebirth #wholepictutebirth #birthflow #waterbirth
