Sometime within the next 3 days, Mommy's total blood volume will have increased from 17 to 21.5 cups in preparation for birth. Blood loss in childbirth is inevitable since, among other things, the placenta has to separate from the uterine wall. With a surplus of blood, some can be lost without undue risk.
Parenting Tip
In the summer, cover your child's car seat with a sheet, towel or receiving blanket when not in use. The seat can become very hot and burn the child's tender skin. Use a car shade or apply solar film to the window near the car seat.
