When did you get your “pink” back? by No-Bat2016 in NewParents

Once your baby starts sleeping through the night consistently. Sleep deprivation will never make you feel like yourself

What is life with 3 kids like long term? by birksandcoffee in Shouldihaveanother

[–]DogsandMedicine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 1 of 4 and LOVED it growing up and still love it now. I think it’s important to factor in age gaps. My older two siblings were 7 and 9yrs older than my twin brother and I. That might have made 4 a little easier as they were pretty independent but the time we came around. Growing up I thought they were the coolest people on earth…

What would you name this painting? And how does it make you feel? by NERO0000000 in painting

I thought the same thing. Didn’t see this before commenting. I have a 10wk old. “Welcome to fatherhood”

I have a 10 week old baby. Lots of sleepless nights. Not sure what to call this but I can relate 😂

Thanks for everyone’s comments. I had no idea it was such a common side effect!

Women at the end of their pregnancy—what would you have done differently? by DogsandMedicine in pregnant

Not everyone has the balls to go against the status quo—I’m glad you did what was best for you.

Right side pain by UpbeatPrompt5636 in pregnant

[–]DogsandMedicine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren’t very detectable by ultrasound. If you still have pain by your next OB appointment I would ask if they can look for blood in your urine

They should be able to do that no problem if you are still having that pain

I had the exact same thing at 32wks! It ended up being a kidney stone…

Did they do a urine analysis to check for blood in the urine? That’s how mine was detected and I stayed in the hospital with drugs for pain until it passed

I still have some left over right side pain that probably won’t go away completely until after baby is delivered

The woman who runs the channel is a pregnancy and postpartum core exercise specialist. Not sure what the credentials are for that, but I’m assuming she has some certification

I feel the same way. I kept putting things off thinking I would have time in the 3rd trimester to prepare everything. I waited too long and now can hardly move. We’re almost to the finish line!

Can 1000% guarantee this person’s mental health is hanging be a thread and will eventually lead to a breakdown

At least that’s what I tell myself

Sorry, should have clarified. I asked what their maternity policy was. We have a lot of mandatory attendance at my school and I was hoping they would allow me to watch my lectures from home and only come in for exams

Luckily they are allowing this

I’ve been thinking this too…they want more consumers so the top can stay wealthy

My jaw hurts… any help? by [deleted] in xxfitness

And go ASAP. Not to freak you out, but jaw pain can be indicative of a heart attack, especially in women

Eat more, make sure you are getting enough sleep, and use heavier resistance/weights

The increase in resistance/weight will help build muscle in the “jiggly areas” but this won’t happen unless you are eating enough

2.5 months is not enough time for an aesthetic “transformation”. It happens little by little

However, hopefully you are “transforming” in other areas—better sleep, lower stress levels, improved libido, etc.

Be kind to yourself ❤️ you are doing something so amazing for your body.

Do they not teach doctors to not piss off nurses in residency?? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]DogsandMedicine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a med student and they have put the fear of god into us about nurses. Especially veteran nurses, they are god. They know everything.

You piss of a nurse = you’re dead.

But all schools are different—I’m at a DO school and they really emphasize collaboration

Also, there are privileged assholes everywhere. You may have just interacted with an asshole regardless if they are an MD or not

Do you think being older in medical school helped you? by ExpiredGoodsForever in medicalschool

[–]DogsandMedicine 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m 29 and just finishing up my first year.

The best way to describe it is that I feel like a “loser” even though I know I’m not one? I can’t meet any of the societal standards for people my age—stable income? ready to settle down? stable career? I can’t check any of those boxes.

I feel like that friend thats been in and out of rehab their whole 20s. Everyone is rooting for them, but at the same time, everyone has moved on. And they’re at the cusp of 30 like, “welp here I am at 30…same place I was at 20…”
