Baby monitoring: vigilance at all times

Even when they are very small, babies can, unfortunately, fall victim to an accident and require a quick reaction from those around them.


  • Choking and discomfort are things that scare young parents.
  • How to react when confronted with them?
  • In order to have the right reflexes in case of an accident, it is important to learn the "life-saving" gestures.
  • In addition, it is essential to ensure constant supervision.
  • To make your baby's daily life safer, don't hesitate to invest in a baby monitor.
  • There is now a whole range of them, with or without cameras for example.
  • Something to relax you a little!

Had a doctor's appointment today. Wasn't awesome that's for sure. Blood pressure was high and baby weight is low ?‍♀️ he is only weighing at 2.3oz ? so now I see the high risk Dr. 2x a week for monitoring and ultrasound. Basically depending on how my appointments go they can send me to the hospital for an extended stay till they deliver or send me for an immediate delivery if my blood pressure keeps going up, baby doesn't grow or the blood flow to the baby changes. Ugh.. I'm so stressed... I am praying we can at least make it to 34 weeks ?

Stay positive hon. Same thing happen to me Wednesday at my appointment. Went back yesterday and there was a big change with the numbers so I go back next week got another check up. I woke up this morning exercise took a shower had a cup of garlic tea, some eggs and crackers and I’m feeling a bit better. I’m remaining positive that everything goes well.

An Update: So i’ve been in hospital since i PPROM’ed at 31 and 4, Today i am 33 and 3 Everything had been going good until last night , i went to the bathroom and there was green on my pad which they had told me before is bad because it means the baby pooped, it’s called meconium which after googling it ( i should not have done that) is associated with all sorts of bad stuff happening , so i called the nurses in immediately and they checked for his heartbeat and found it so that is good , they then hooked me up to the monitor for an NST to make sure his heartbeat is accelerating like it should and they called my doctor to see what he wants them to do , the monitoring went good ,they drew my blood and that came back as everything being fine and no sign of infection , so they sent ultrasound up to do one and just make sure everything is ok. i am losing my fucking mind, i don’t know how much more i can handle, literally every single time we get over one hurdle and i feel like i can breathe again something else happens, and it’s been like that my whole pregnancy , no fucking joke i swear to god i’m going to have ptsd from this whole experience , i fucking hate it , i can’t wait til the day baby is out of me and is stable and ok and i can then finally hopefully breathe a sigh of relief. I had cramping starting in my lower back and coming around to the lower front of me all night so bad at times it woke me up, i’ve had a headache since last night as well . so now they have me hooked back up to monitors and just put an iv back in to get fluids into me, i heard them saying to each other i might get “sectioned “ which im assuming means a c section , but so far they haven’t told me anything for sure , Now im waiting for my high risk doctor to come and see me when he makes his rounds this morning and he will make a decision on what to do, they had set my induction date for June 16th so we will see what he says, please if you pray say a prayer for baby boy and i or send good vibes and positive thoughts our way ?

What were your signs of preclampsia if you've ever had it. I was border line when I did a starter protein test a couple months ago, so they said they are monitoring me for it. I recently started having headaches and shortness of breath and nausea. Havent had nausea since 2nd trimester started so I didn't know

Well I was sent to L&D for more monitoring because her heart rate dropped to 90 for 20 seconds during the non stress test.

Yes from my experience it is completely normal. In fact it’s the first time I ever had that problem. I recommend Metamucil and miralax. They’re both pregnancy safe. Mine got so bad that if I hadn’t gone to the bathroom soon they were going to give me an enema?

This might be a controversial post.. it is what it is. I am a medical card holder and completely stopped smoking when we found out I was pregnant. I wasn't a heavy smoker.. mainly took edibles for pain and usedtropicals, so my tolerance is very low. Fast forward to all my issues with my high blood pressure and hospital stays with monitoring my blood pressure at home. I decided to smoke a little bit yesterday waited an hour and took my blood pressure.. it was the first time in weeks that I had a normal reading... I'm not on BP meds just a baby aspirin daily. I'm quite torn on what to do.. because I refuse to have this kid early if I can prevent it with medicinal medication. And with all the water I drink the THC doesn't stay in my system long at all since I don't smoke much at all.

Ngl... I still smoke, but without it my baby and I would be very underweight and malnourished because I wasn't able to keep any food down for over 2 weeks. I'm planning on stopping once I hit my 3rd trimester and I don't smoke enough to get me couch blasted. Just a hit or two to help with the pain and nausea, and I also have a super low tolerance.

I wish there were more studies done... I know so many babies that are born perfectly healthy and the mom smoked the whole time. It just needs to be federally legalized already !!

I don't know if my anxiety is going to be able to handle this pregnancy! First we went through the scare of the doctor not seeing the baby on the ultrasound, which they sent me for blood work and my hcg is going up. (I'm 2-3 weeks according to it) Now I've been having light pink bleeding, only when I wipe, on and off for the past 2 days! Doctor said if it becomes dark red to go to ER, so of course I've been monitoring it like crazy! Anyone else have light bleeding? Please help ease my mind!

I tested positive for covid-19 today and I’m currently 28 weeks. ppl keep telling me to take Tylenol. Regular Tylenol pills or the Tylenol cold/flu? whatever helps to make this easier and pass so baby and me will be okay. so far my only symptom is a super bad sore throat and runny/stuffy nose. I’m monitoring my temperature and as of now, it’s staying normal. same with my oxygen levels.

C'est décidé après avoir fait un premier monitoring aujourd'hui, je vais me servir d'une portion du rythme cardiaque de ma fille pour mon deuxième tatouage sous le sein gauche au niveau du cœur. Des Moms qui ont fait ça ??
