Although it causes no symptoms, high blood pressure boosts the risks of leading killers such as heart attack and stroke, as well as aneurysms, cognitive decline, and kidney failure.

If you dont have a very long maternity leave from your job you may be wondering how soon an infant can start daycare. The answer varies significantly from daycare to daycare so you will need to do some research to find out the policies of daycares near you. Most daycares, however, wont accept an infant until at least six weeks of age. And this must be a full term infant. If you have to go back to work after two or four weeks then that might leave you in a bind. There are some home based daycares that might accept your young infant and there is also the option of hiring a nanny until your child is old enough for a daycare. Then again, some daycares are open and available for infants as young as two weeks of age.
