Hi all! My six week old has been super fussy for the last couple of weeks. Her stool was very watery, she had bad eczema and acne, congestion, can’t sleep in the bassinet (we constantly have to hold her), and there are times where it takes a couple of hours to soothe her, meaning she doesn’t sleep well at all and is awake multiple hours at a time.

We switched her from Bobbie extra gentle to Pepticate HA formula 48 hours ago. Her eczema/acne is basically gone but her fussiness and being uncomfortable is very much present still. At this point, I’m at a loss. I can’t figure out if she has reflux (more likely the silent type) and needs medication, isn’t tolerating the lactose in the pepticate, or if she needs to go on an amino acid or soy formula.

For parents here with babies who’ve had similar issues, what ended up being the problem and what helped? How long before you saw improvement in your baby? My doula said we should have noticed a significant improvement by now if it was just a CMPA allergy.

Additionally, is pooping just once a day considered normal or does it mean she’s constipated?

Many thanks in advance for your advice/input!

Hey there, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia on Thursday so my OB and MFM want to deliver my baby right at 37 weeks. Unfortunately she is transverse, so I’ve opted to do a c section rather than try an ECV. She’s been in this same position for many many weeks and I’m assuming there’s a reason why she hasn’t move positions at all, and don’t want to even risk doing an ECV at this point.

Has anyone here had an experience having a c section with a transverse baby? How difficult was it for the OB to get baby out in that position? Also, any tips on what to expect or advice on what to ask for concerning a smoother experience, please let me know!

Hi 👋! Long story short I’m 36 weeks on Tuesday and my blood pressure has been creeping up. Throughout my pregnancy it was consistently great, about 117 over 70ish on average. Since week 34 it started getting more elevated, into the 130s/80s. At my OB a few days ago it was unfortunately 148/87. They ran labs and a few things were mildly elevated (uric acid plus protein/creatine but just barely).

They want to check again this week and if still over 140/90 they want to induce at 37 weeks. Has anyone here been in a similar situation and if so, did you end up needing to be induced at 37 weeks and was baby okay or did they need to be in the NICU or have pre-term issues? I’d love to wait until at least 38 weeks but I’ve heard shit can hit the fan with preclampsia so I’d love to hear your experiences. Thank you 🧿💕
