Now my schedule revolves around nap times and meal times, and preschool schedules and soccer games. The window in which I can see my friends has become ever more tiny. And it only takes one unexpected poop explosion or one bad traffic afternoon to totally obliterate the chance of quality time with friends. But today on the blog, I’m talking about how to have real friends as new mom and spend time with them, too.

In today’s post, you’ll learn what you need to know about preeclampsia, if you’re pregnant (or hoping to be one day). Also: my symptoms, when they presented, and how they progressed. preeclampsia, preeclampsia symptoms, hellp syndrome, pregnancy, pregnancy education, first time moms
