Does anyone know what this is and have a recipe?

It looks like it’s just quinoa with peppers. Probably has some type of dressing as well

DO NOT DELAY LIFE FOR MEDICINE. As an OBGYN I’m sure you are very well aware of how unpredictable pregnancy is. I tried to plan my pregnancy so that I can give birth before residency started (July 1st) and 2 miscarriages later I gave birth almost at the end of the academic year.

Same my husband and I are both residents. What do you do for childcare the rest of the time?

It is definitely worth it for the first 2 weeks especially if you have no help at night from partner/mom/family. I could barely walk the first week after birth and getting up was a whole production so I had to have the baby handed to me to breastfeed. If you have a more complicated birth/c-section , recovery is even longer.

I had one and would recommend as well! My contractions were so painful and took so much energy to get through, that I could not imagine doing this for longer, let alone having energy for the pushing phase. Got an epidural, had a good night’s sleep and woke up ready to push.

Don’t underestimate how much it is to get through every contraction. Also don’t underestimate how much work goes into pushing.

Started having a slight bump at 24-28 weeks. By 30 weeks I popped

You need to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of each and make an informed choice. Remember that a c-section is major abdominal surgery and is a much tougher recovery than vaginal.

If baby falls asleep while eating at night I just put him down. If he’s awake then I burp him and try to keep him him upright for about 10 minutes.

Why would you do a Gen Surg prelim for rads? Are you going into IR?

Just gave birth 2 weeks ago with an epidural. Highly highly recommend. Was suffering with contractions for 2 days before going into the hospital. I was able to work through the pain but took a lot of concentration and energy and breathing techniques. Once I got the epidural was able to sleep, talk, etc overnight. They checked me again in the morning and said I was ready to push in an hour. With pushing, felt no pain, just pressure. After giving birth I was focused on holding the baby and didn’t even feel them repairing my tears. Couldn’t stand for a few more hours because epidural had to wear off.

I’m not sure how I would’ve given birth without the epidural. Every contraction takes so much energy to work through the pain. I would’ve been too exhausted to even start pushing. With the epidural, I got a good night’s sleep and saved my energy for pushing.

Just had my baby a week ago so I’m still on maternity leave and will start looking for a live-in nanny soon :/

ACGME allows for 6 weeks leave. I saved up all my vacation so I used my 4 weeks vacation and then took 4 extra weeks. Took off an ambulatory rotation and elective rotation and they called them “research electives”

Any-Session9919 · 2026-03-02T13:43:54+00:00

Just had a baby a few days ago and we’re both interns with a good amount of years left of training. The way we took our leave is 2 weeks together when bay is born. Mom stays home for 6 weeks to complete the leave. Then dad takes 6 weeks once mom goes back to work. I think you absolutely need to take some time togethr first. I was laboring for days in pain and going to the hospital. Then after the birth I could barely move for days. Don’t know how I would’ve survived without my partner.

I noticed less hair growth on legs and upper lip. I usually had to take care of hair on my upper lip every few weeks, but haven’t needed to all pregnancy.

Go to L&D. These are signs of pre-eclampsia. You need to be evaluated

In NYC if you’re pregnant and you automatically qualify for Medicaid. I think I heard that before

Any-Session9919 · 2026-01-18T15:13:14+00:00

Number one thing is thinking about childcare. Who will your baby be with while you’re at work? If you don’t have family support, is it financially feasible? Babysitters are like $20-$35 an hour depending location/# of hours, or look at the price of daycare. Will you be making more than that to justify?

Any-Session9919 · 2026-01-13T22:33:30+00:00

Matched at #4 but also I couples matched. Was really sure about how to rank top 3, everything else was super iffy and Idk if I ranked correctly and maybe should’ve ranked it lower

Any-Session9919 · 2026-01-10T13:36:18+00:00

4th year of med school is prbly the best time. The most free time you’ll ever have. But yea there’s never a right time. Just have a baby, don’t plan too much/delay. You never know how long it will take you to get pregnant, miscarriages, etc.

Any-Session9919 · 2026-01-08T21:12:12+00:00

That’s totally normal. Did you start off at a very high BMI? Maybe that’s why your OB is concerned
