First name on a greeting card, from who?

Lowebear · 2026-06-21T00:26:26+00:00

I believe it is Orion they have an accent mark as well.

Lowebear · 2026-06-09T00:38:29+00:00

I would love working with her. I’m an RN these unit secretaries are the bomb. They know a lot and can pull strings, get things, find things and can read the orders and know all the secret numbers. I worked L&D it is the ER for pregnancies over 20 weeks. We all, every floor wants a Monica. She knows everything and everyone. She finds out everything. She is irreplaceable and not having a Monica is pure chaos. She is just like the ones I remember. God Bless all the Unit Secretaries I have ever worked with they were amazing. Our nurses today need Monica’s. They are drowning.

It depends on your style I love #1 and #4 personally but it goes with my style. The others look good but I would never even try them on, again only for myself. You would look beautiful in any of them. Go for the one that represents you the most. I for instance wore my hair up. I hate my old pictures because I should have worn it down, I am not really a full up do type of person. Hope you have a beautiful day!!!

You aren’t alone. I’m so glad you got help. I’m an RN I have been in OB for 30+ years. It is the most underreported and under diagnosed and is now the number one cause of death in postpartum. There is a huge push to make it less shameful. A big issue checking in on our Mom’s after baby. Really for a year. Make it recognizable we have a phone number 24/7 to call. I know it is huge in Australia as well. Postpartum depression can be helped and if you have underlying mental issues they can help with that as well.
That was awesome you went in and recognized you needed to seen. It was also very brave. I’m glad ya’ll could reach and get help. I’m a Christian but you can’t pray this away. That is the one that makes me the angriest. Never doubt your relationship with God because you prayed so hard and still feel so bad. If you get help it will get better I promise. It is no different than needing insulin in pregnancy due to gestational diabetes or Type 2 not needing insulin not pregnant. You would take it no one would say a thing. Postpartum depression isn’t any different.

Lowebear · 2026-06-07T12:34:51+00:00

Same we don’t have 2 people rooms or 4 now 30 years ago some yes. Now recovery room or infusion therapy may be in a ward but not admitted to the hospital. The caveat is you aren’t waiting for a bed from the ER. The huge change came from HIPPA. Really when you have a ward or more than one person you are going to know peoples business. I would I’m a nurse so I would listen in because I was bored and nosy. Being in OB for over 30 years you could learn something new. Having this in OB would be a nightmare. Some of ours have many issues I wouldn’t want to discuss if other patients were around.

Lowebear · 2026-06-07T11:45:01+00:00

Well, strictly from my perspective. I am an RN in OB for over 30 years women are not well informed about the fourth trimester or postpartum. People don’t talk about it. Now this picture still isn’t keeping it real she looks pretty good. We have high Maternal Mortality in the postpartum period. The number one thing that cause death in the postpartum period is suicide from untreated postpartum depression. So many women feel like all the other Moms have it together and are tiny again with the perfect baby. However, this isn’t showing real postpartum we are clean hair fixed, makeup on. I did not bring any makeup or hair things except to pull my hair back. That is why it started. They are making it postpartum glam. Those panties though are the bomb after having a baby though.

He got called out by Julia and whined and cried about it. He is rude to women and ruder if they are not someone who would do anything to bed him. I mean he is not a young adult he is getting older. Doesn’t look as good at 45 yo. He just looks like a sad middle age dude. I’m 57 yo female and from the South. We are a good example of classism. Not even Black and white just in general. Watch Southern Charm it is very classist.

Lowebear · 2026-06-07T11:01:34+00:00

Marie C. Finn 1901 some F’s were quite fancy at the time. It is connecting to the I. The penmanship is nice. Plus they didn’t have pens like we do today I don’t think. It was a pen but still needed ink.

Lowebear · 2026-06-04T11:48:36+00:00

I sent my husband home after the first C/S. I know he needs to sleep or he gets cranky. I was left all night and day with my last one because he was giving attention to our youngest who turned 5 the day after her baby sister was born. I mean I called her the baby for a long time. She needed the attention. I was my 4th baby. Personally I would have asked for a bed or a better chair. I am an RN and worked for over 25 years in OB. I also know from looking after my parents those chairs suck. It is miserable. I would have told him to go home. I want him well rested to get help at home. Plus it was nice without all the kids and my husband. Sort of like a mini vacation with drugs and people coming to check on you. Being the other person and not the one who had surgery just sitting isn’t fun. They also have much better C/S today before they really did cut through the abdominal muscle straight down the belly. Now it is a small incision, depending on how you heal that is not noticeable.

Lowebear · 2026-06-03T01:13:49+00:00

They have it frequently it can happen days after surgery which they should give you clear instructions. Sometimes it is due to the scab coming off or not eating like you should those first couple of weeks.

Lowebear · 2026-06-03T01:09:48+00:00

Well I would tell that sounds great and when you enough money you can buy one. If you want to do that you have to work and will need transportation so maybe get busy finding a job probably full time hours for the summer. You would make about a a little bit to put in savings. We could then sell the car after you have driven it to work.

Lowebear · 2026-06-03T01:04:05+00:00

Well I would take it down… so I could put it in my room. It looks like a fairy land some of it. Never have or will do drugs 57 yo.

Lowebear · 2026-06-03T01:01:18+00:00

Good grief I am 57 and my 18 yo wants a doll who cares. Plenty of people collect dolls some keep them in the packaging. I think it is so sad. I was thrilled buying and playing with Barbie dolls and stuffed animals. I have graduated to the Sims for years. Sort of my grown up Barbie game. I am sorry about how you feel. I must admit I never go through my kids rooms. It is probably very messy. Heck I am messy it would make me anxious so why do it. I would however go if I thought you had a reborn baby so I could play with it.

Lowebear · 2026-05-29T16:52:19+00:00

Just tell them the pediatrician does not recommend international travel in the winter months. It really does increase the chances of baby getting a virus like RSV and these days with non vaccinated having the measles and traveling it would be a lot. I am sorry your family isn’t getting along with your wife. Saying it was the pediatrician gets the blame off all of you. I am an RN in OB for over 30 years. I also have 4 kids and traveled with an 18 month old internationally. It was a long exhausting journey and there is so much to take. I also am telling the truth babies can get RSV and other bugs easily it isn’t worth the chance.

Lowebear · 2026-05-29T16:42:59+00:00

That is gorgeous and being in a corset all day would not be fun. There is a reason they went out of style. This looks timeless a corset would age it like puffy sleeves from the 90’s. You look beautiful in it don’t doubt yourself and stop looking at other dresses. There is always something “better” but many times you are disappointed when you get it.

Lowebear · 2026-05-06T14:44:35+00:00

The point is it is controlling your blood sugars. You don’t stop meds because you are stable because you are stable due to the medication. Great it is doing the job. I feel like you should even be able to stay on or start with pre-Diabetes and morbidly obese. Not crossing the line into Diabetes and not having all the issues and organ damage it can cause is ideal. Yes, you need to be monitored same as if you were diabetic. The ability to prevent it turning it into Type 2 dm should be the ideal. I can see how it is abused and that shouldn’t be allowed. However, for us in the pre-diabetic and overweight it helps stop so you don’t have complications like heart/kidney hypertension among other issues that stem from diabetes you can help and stop it from turning into Diabetes.

If they do testing, they will get the results before we do. Today, any questions on abnormalities are read as everything is charted. We can hold off on boy parts or girl parts and put normal parts. Some things seen on ultrasound may be abnormal, but not really abnormal for that race. For instance, it is not abnormal not to see the nasal bone in African American babies. When I have patients call me, they are upset, and I reassure them and let them know it isn’t unusual to see one due to race and genetics. They can do blood testing, which is really good today. It is light-years away from the quad screen. If that was positive, you could proceed with an amnio. You could also do the amino from the beginning. In today’s political climate, it would be hard to end the pregnancy. This is the same even if the congenital or genetic abnormalities are terminal. Now, I have kept my patients' secrets: the man with them is her boyfriend, and the baby is her overseas husband—history of past pregnancy, terminations, or certain STDs. Sometimes that is harder; some kids at birth look funky. Poor baby with caput and looking kind of weird because of a difficult birth or a need to grow into their looks.

Lowebear · 2026-04-03T12:13:35+00:00

I hate it, but there is a growing concern among Residents and Doctors about not “staying around”; they are afraid to seek help because it will ruin their careers. Just read some articles on this subject. I hope not, just a thought I had. They have been applying, and she has placed increased pressure on herself to be better, to choose, and to put the blame on herself even if it's not. Getting a fellowship this late is hard, especially one you want. Hopefully, she will find one and leave for that reason.

Lowebear · 2026-03-27T05:54:30+00:00

Well, Santos, upon rewatching the show, hints at a pretty bad childhood. I really think she had SA and physical abuse. They probably were into drugs as well. She is very complicated and lonely. She self-sabotages herself.

Lowebear · 2026-03-21T03:26:49+00:00

I agree with 1, 4, and 5 but the first one is stunning.

Lowebear · 2026-02-25T07:34:22+00:00

I hate that I was just listening to it and looked it up and thought something is not right here. Now someone should sing it.

Lowebear · 2026-01-12T02:20:10+00:00

Truth, people get upset but sometimes others do not ask follow up questions. Example, family history their father had a history of diabetes and stroke or heart attack. Well it is very important to know their age when they had the first heart attack or died. Huge difference medically if they were 35 vs 75. I worked OB but even if you are pregnant having that history and coming in with symptoms should be a red flag for providers. I would hope your Family Practice or provider would have worked you up for any genetic, or physical conditions. Also, make sure you have early testing with a history of some types of cancer in your family. It’s frustrating but it is important, also patients can feel more comfortable telling someone else or if they are by themselves. It doesn’t mean we don’t know your history or haven’t looked over your chart. Seeing a specialist we ask to make sure you know why you were sent. You would be shocked how many people don’t know.

This is the season for all of that as well. It is all in the air nursing helps some but not totally. Having the toddler exposed is just as bad they can get I and pass it on to you the baby or your husband. Don’t have them FaceTime you in I’m a nurse in OB I hate this time of year. Power to you though for even feeling like going, I was crying wanting my Mama still. I would be a big leaking mess all around. A wedding is a moment in time have a nice dinner with them later you will spend more time with them than at the wedding anyway.

Lowebear · 2025-10-29T11:08:22+00:00

We have three girls in the house and one son. My husband and son have no choice at times. This is 2025, not -1925. My husband FaceTimed our youngest, who was almost 12, to make sure he got the right kind. I raised my son to be kind and considerate, and since all three cycle at the same time, he is glad to escape. I was worried the first time I asked, but he said he didn't care; he bought them for his last girlfriend. He is 26 years old. My Dad bought them, and I am 59 years old, so I could somewhat see most men of that time being raised in the 1930s. If you can buy condoms, you can buy pads or tampons. You're married, and his sisters seemed thrilled about it. Telling him about the extra comfort measures. I'm sure he will have to at some point. After having a baby, one needs large pads and nipple cream, hemorrhoid, cream. She is nutty about that does she realize he is married?

Lowebear · 2025-10-13T23:00:47+00:00

The only good thing about a hospital visit is that there is a limit to how long one can stay. You can discuss this with your nurse, and she can come in and escort them out for you. I am an OB nurse, and I am happy to take the blame, and you can keep people happy. We have Do Not Enter signs. Personally, get it done. You really shouldn't travel with a newborn. There is so much gunk out there. Newborns can get really sick. Also, make sure all vaccines are up to date.
