The best laid plans... As I always say, make plans, but be flexible and
ready for spur-of-the-moment decisions, grin.
Glad you and baby are doing fine. With my pregnancy, I'm now entering
the phase where more and more things could crop up and affect me, which
of course can affect Baby. So far nothing to be majorly concerned about,
and Baby P is doing great. Oh, he just moved in there, smile.
We saw the Broadway tour of Fiddler on the Roof last night, and he was
extremely active especially during the musical numbers, grin.
Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Hi Tammy,
Thanks for introducing yourself.
No, I'm not blaming myself for the preeclampsia at all. I know there
aren't any specific factors that cause it as far as the pros can tell.
I'm just glad they caught it in time; I had no idea about it until I
went for one of my routine prenatal visits and discovered that my blood
pressure was through the roof.
I know I may be stepping on a landmine here, but my personal opinion is
that people really shouldn't blame themselves for various things that
occur during a pregnancy, such as it resulting in a CSection, or any
conditions that may crop up while carrying a little one. It's sad when
someone gets upset over not having been able to give birth naturally,
etc. etc. It seems so trivial; Such a small price to pay when the end
result is a healthy baby.
I myself planned on natural birth, was totally against being induced
into labor, and was entirely set on exclusively breastfeeding. Well,
wouldn't you know it--I ended up having to be induced, the induction
failed so I had a CSection, and my baby had to be suplemented with the
evil formula because he couldn't get the hang of breastfeeding and was
losing weight rapidly. Go figure. All that considered though, I have no
qualms over how it all went. Sure, things didn't go as planned, but do
they ever? All in all, as I've mentioned before, my baby is healthy and
that's all that matters. People come into this wold in various ways,
under differing circumstances. Yet we're all here, all the same
All Best,
Bernadetta
