How to Prevent Preeclampsia?

- Regular Excercise -
In Parenting.com's article, Can You Prevent Preterm Labor, says regular exercise "can reduce your risk of developing gestational diabetes and recent research suggests that it may help prevent preeclampsia as well. One study found that women who walked for exercise during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy lowered their risk for preeclampsia by a third" (Singer).
- Stretching - 
According to Fit Pregnancy's article, Stretching May Help Prevent Preeclampsia, "Vigioruios exercise can lower a woman's risk of developing pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia. But a new study suggests an even simpler tactic, stretching. Stretching may be especially good because it releases more of a special kind of protein called transferrin, which protects against stress on the body" (Stretching May Prevent Preeclampsia).
-Vitamins-
Vitamins, such as Vitamin C and E are said to help reduce the risk of preeclampsia. According to www.drbarbaraluke.com, "The ideal dose is 1000 mg of Vitamin C and 400 IU of Vitamin E. For better absorption of Vitamin C split the dose in half, taking 500 mg in the morning and at night" (Luke).
- Minerals -
Minerals, such as Calcium and Magnesium also, help during pregnancy. According to www.drbarbaraluke.com, "Calcium helps reduce the risk of developing preeclampsia and Magnesium help prevent premature labor by minimizing uterine contractions" (Luke).

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...
