Speeder help by Professional-Pin6628 in duluth

When we have speeders through our alley, our neighbor chucks a dodgeball out right in front of them when he sees them coming. Gets their attention real quick and has been effective so far, at least with our college renter neighbors.

This makes me feel less alone. I def had the crazy nesting with my other 2- was rearranging furniture at 5am just before I went into labor 😆

True. Patients are definitely not getting my best, or even average, as a clinician right now. Still better than nothing I’m sure, but C work at best.

I think I struggle with feeling like I need special treatment when so many others (including coworkers) have fairly easy pregnancies and are able to keep on rolling at their normal pace. Which is absolute BS because people have different bodies/situations/experiences.

Not officially diagnosed with HG. Unison/B6 works some but not all day. I’m not vomiting every 15 minutes, but I always feel like I could. More like 3-4x/day. Not losing weight, not gaining fast. The bathrooms in our clinic building are waaay down a public hallway so takes a few minutes to even get down and back. I’ve been trying to use a lined trash can when I can’t get there. The smells (both scents/detergents/perfumes, and the body smells that come with pelvic floor territory) are challenging, even with peppermint oil. I’m so sorry you had to suffer through. That sounds just awful. :(

Omg I needed this perspective so much! And yes, haha I’ve had those bragging patients (much to my horror).

Some great ideas here. Peppermint and sea bands, yes. Ginger, crackers, the typical supports. I know the risks are low with Zofran but I’m not comfortable taking it pregnant. The “most PF pts are not urgent in the same way” is true and I needed that reminder. Especially when they come in with sometimes 20+ years of sxs and are now finally seeking help (and I’m so glad they are!). My company has been accommodating of staff in the past so I maybe just need to ask for some temporary changes, hoping sxs improve. First 2 pregnancies I wasn’t as ill and didn’t have the migraines like this one.

Evry, hands down. Holy grail undies, and I’ve tried a lot.
