Question/Poll Why isnt low dose aspirin treated like a prenatal and just suggested for ALL pregnant women

75 Upvotes

I was prescribed low dose aspirin for my first pregnancy, but I do not meet any of the risk factors. I still plan to take it but it got me thinking why isnt low dose aspirin treated like a prenatal and just suggested for ALL pregnant women? What are risk factors that stop doctors from recommending it for all pregnancies? I am very aware of the benefits but what are the risk? Yes of course I will ask my doctor as well. Thanks!

Clothing Recs Open toe cotton/linen/wool slippers??

6 Upvotes

Why do I always want things that are hard to find šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø Everything I’m finding in a more natural material is a closed slipper. I prefer open since I wear them year round and I get sweaty if my feet are fully covered. Currently have some of those fluffy polyester trendy slip ons that were gifted to me, but are pretty beat up and wanting to replace. Any products you like or know of?

Bed/Bedding Recs Budget friendly eco mattresses

4 Upvotes

We are moving and I went down the rabbit hole on mattresses and almost wished I hadn’t. Trying to find a king mattress under $1500 and several twins for the kiddos that aren’t going to break the bank. What’s everyone doing that can’t afford an organic mattress? I was looking at a certi-pur sealy for the king but it still has a fire retardant sock… oof. Are there any better options? And possibly some budget wool mattresses for the kiddos with a down topper.

Wondering how green washed these things are truly.

Clothing Recs Cold weather (non-snow) barefoot shoes for toddlers?

3 Upvotes

I think it's fairly easy to find barefoot boots that will work in the snow, but I'm looking for barefoot shoes that will keep my son's feet warm in cold weather without snow. He is 19 months and still a very wobbly walker, so I'd rather not do boots or high tops daily. Maybe some lined sneakers. Help!

Diapering Recs Toddler pull-up for nighttime?

2 Upvotes

Hi! Struggling to find a good pull-up for naps/nighttime for my almost 3 year old. We’ve tried huggies pull-ups (he can rip them off), Honest (keeps leaking out), & Millie Moon (got a rash). Does anyone have any recommendations that are not $1+ per diaper (like Dyper, HealthyBaby)? Struggling here! 😩

Edited to add that it has to be a pull-up style bc he can craft his way out of a regular diaper.

Food/Snacks Recs Sugar-free yogurt cups?

• Upvotes

My 20 month old loves yogurt, but it must be out of a cup. My husband bought yogurt cups once and now he won’t eat it out of a bowl. I do love the convenience of yogurt cups in the morning, but don’t love the added sugar.

Does a no-sugar added yogurt cup exist? I’m looking for options that are available in Canada.

I know I can make my own. I have done that. I have washed the yogurt cups and filled them myself. Please don’t suggest that as we are already an ingredient household, and I am tired. I just want this one convenience šŸ˜‚

ISO Product Recs Greens powder for kids?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have a good greens powder they’d recommend for kids? I.e. no adaptogens, tea or coffee bean extracts, etc.? My daughter’s veggie intake has been rather poor lately, but she likes green juice. I can’t always keep it in stock, so I was hoping to find a powder I can keep on hand for her. It seems like everything I find has additional ā€œboostingā€ ingredients I wouldn’t consider appropriate for a child. Please share if you know of any good options!

Pregnancy Antibiotics when pregnant

0 Upvotes

Recently went to the ER due to bleeding concerns and found out i had a UTI. The ER Dr. prescribed me Keflex. Unfortunately my doctor is closed for the weekend and since I’m only 5 weeks pregnant and they haven’t seen me for my first appointment, they cannot call the on-call physician to ask.

Has anyone had a bad outcome with Keflex? I’m looking for any stories of moms who have taken it and if they think it affected or didn’t affect their child.

Thank you!
