    “Date Rape Drug”, GHB, Rohypnol – Parents Beware

    By Jacaranda On May 30, 2009 No Comments

    This news and piece of advice may not be applicable to new parents or to those who only have young childrens or babies. This is specifically for parents who have a young woman, a teenager or someone who goes out a lot. Please be aware that there is such a drug called the “Date Rape Drug” or what is called Rohypnol, Rop Can, La Roche, Ruffies and others.

    What is Date Rape Drug or Rohypnol?

    Rohypnol has been associated with date rape, and has also been called the “Forget Pill,” “Trip-and-Fall,” and “Mind-Erasers.” In combination with alcohol, it can induce a blackout with memory loss and a decrease in resistance. (definition from Jacaranda’s Rohypnol post)

    Low Blood Pressure During Pregnancy Experience

    By Jacaranda On May 19, 2009 No Comments

    Low blood pressure during pregnancy. This is for the information of the new parents out there, specifically for moms-to-be,  who are looking for answers as to why they are having low blood pressure while they are pregnant. First thing’s first, there is really nothing to worry about. As far as I read, low blood pressure during pregnancy is normal.

    What Is Low Blood Pressure?

    Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure. You have hypotension if you have a blood pressure of less than 90/60

    Dizziness and Lightheaded During Pregnancy

    Most of the times this is normal. I did a little research and found out that these happened occasionally on pregnant women.

    When you’re pregnant, your cardiovascular system undergoes dramatic changes. Your heart rate goes up, your heart pumps more blood per minute, and the amount of blood in your body expands by 40 to 45 percent.

    Read all about low blood during pregnancy on everything daddy! But again, there’s no need to be alarmed. Relax.


    Proven Strategies in Baby Safety

    By Jacaranda On May 16, 2009 No Comments

    Baby proofing your home is an important task when you have a baby.  It’s a good idea to practice baby safety as soon as your baby comes home and it begins with getting down to a baby’s level and looking for hazards in the home.

    This will give you an idea of what a baby sees and would be attracted to.

    Why You’ve got to Look out for Hazards

    Hazards are everywhere in the home and you’ll first need to look out for sharp, small objects that a baby can put in his or her mouth.  It can involve things like dust balls, cigarettes, coins, staples, paper clips and any other object which is smaller than one and a half inches diameter.  Make certain that, for baby safety, the knobs on your TV and chests of drawers are completely affixed and cannot be removed by the baby.  As an obvious aside, you should keep all knives, scissors, razor blades and potentially broken glass away from your baby.  Throw out hazards but don’t put them in an open trash container.
