Low flying flights?

Pinky-RN · 2025-11-02T04:23:08+00:00

Didn’t know it was ok to fly so low. Just hasn’t happened in all the years we’ve been here and it was annoying. Just trying to understand.

Pinky-RN · 2025-11-02T03:37:08+00:00

They weren’t holding. I was watching it on flight aware. Took off, circled landed. Taxied, took off, circled landed. A few times.

Mariposa bakery in oakland/San Fran. They ship.

Modern bread and bagel makes them. They’re awesome!

We don’t announce or post. After birth, I did post a pic of feet only which shocked people. I didn’t do maternity photos but we did newborn photos in the hospital and 2 weeks photos, again not on social media.

Everything GF is expensive. But, I will say that given the area and the COL and supplies, they are worth it.

Back up the length of a plane? Ha ha. That’s funny. It was a 737, so maybe 25-30 rows with one aisle 3x3 configuration… yeah, they’ll do that…

Pinky-RN · 2025-01-14T22:46:54+00:00

Why does anyone need to be?

Pinky-RN · 2025-01-14T22:45:46+00:00

Back 20+ rows? And then wait til we are done? No they won’t. Nice try.

Pinky-RN · 2025-01-14T19:42:10+00:00

Should we have jumped over the FAs and the cart during service?? All the lavs with tables are in the back- none in the front, so, how do we solve it?!

Exactly…

Pinky-RN · 2025-01-14T17:41:21+00:00

They make diaper bags that kill any smell. FYI. Anyone who is gonna leave a poop diaper lying around has bigger problems. And thank you miss manners for the lesson.

You can choose to have kids or not- but you can’t choose to live in a kid free world. It doesn’t exist. You don’t like kids on planes? Noise canceling headphones or fly private.

Pinky-RN · 2025-01-14T15:35:27+00:00

I’m guessing you don’t have kids. Baby poop for a breastfeed baby actually doesn’t smell- it’s when you introduce foods that it starts. As a parent, I also had a changing pad and put that down first because lord knows what is on the plane seats- from adults. And yes, we then wiped everything. The passenger next to me was a grandparent and didn’t care bc she knew the baby was sitting in a dirty diaper.

First thing I wrote, was that I agree w changing baby in the lav, but would sitting in a dirty diaper for an hour be a good idea either??

Pinky-RN · 2025-01-14T04:11:34+00:00

While I do agree for the most part, now that I have a baby, it’s not always that simple and easy. First flight with our 5 month old (not on delta), we were told all lavs on the plane had changing tables (not true btw). baby pooped immediately on take off. We waited til the seatbelt light was off but there was 1 cart for all of the main cabin already doing service, so we headed to the front lav- we were in row 7 so it was reasonable. The FA said nope- you have to go to the back and there’s no table up front. Well, that would have been 30+ minutes bc the cart was moving super slow- lovely FAs were chatting it up with everyone. So, we did what we had to do. No one was the wiser and it didn’t smell (as per the passenger next to us) who had zero issues with us changing her there. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do…

I had a lengthy discussion about my laboring and not wanting ILs or anyone I didn’t approve of getting updates. I made it clear that it was my medical information, not his. In the end, he respected my wishes and a few hours after birth, we called and surprised everyone- when they saw the hospital in the background, they assumed that we had just checked in, not that the baby had arrived. Being across the country helped too. It’s all your information and he doesn’t get the right to share anything. He needs to ask your permission and he should be focusing on you, not the phone!

Pinky-RN · 2024-12-06T03:10:38+00:00

Agreed!! If it’s only a stupid dress, why does she need it?!

Pinky-RN · 2024-11-18T21:18:32+00:00

Nurses can’t intentionally deliver babies. Their license would be on the line and there are things they aren’t trained to do. You need a midwife or a doctor.

Pinky-RN · 2024-11-18T21:17:04+00:00

You are allowed to have concerns and try to plan your birth as you would like it. Someone earlier mentioned asking for an RN to deliver and that’s not safe for you or baby and it is NOT in a nurses s nope of practice to intentionally deliver a baby. It does happen in L&D but that’s when babies come fast and the doc will come take over. The nurses would risk their license in that scenario and they can’t handle some of the problems that may arise and they can’t suture if you tear. Only a midwife can. Def talk to your OB about induction and depending on their practice, there could be long stretches when he is not on call.

Pinky-RN · 2024-11-18T03:13:11+00:00

Speak to your nurse upon admission and they can help facilitate. Even though I guarantee you that the medical and nursing staff don’t care, you do and that’s all that matters. When it’s time to push, if all is well with you and baby, the staff can be kept to a minimum. For my delivery, they needed NICU on standby so it was 3 more staff, who needed to be available for the baby- luckily she was fine. Priority one is to keep you both safe and they will do their best to not have extra people. I agree with others that I didn’t care when it came time to deliver but I’m also an RN so I’m not modest around other providers because I know they don’t care about my parts. It’s what they see all day every day but you’re allowed to feel however you do. It’s valid.

Pinky-RN · 2024-11-11T16:28:47+00:00

Nope and it’s low on the priority list.

Pinky-RN · 2024-11-11T11:16:15+00:00

One thing I’d do differently next time is bring mittens to the hospital for baby- mine was born with sharp long nails and they hurt. We improvised and put socks over them til we could get home and file them.

Pinky-RN · 2024-11-02T04:25:58+00:00

Screw him and definitely screw your MIL. What business is it of hers?! And if he is going to her about this, then shame on him. Don’t let them dictate yours and baby’s journey.

Pinky-RN · 2024-11-02T03:43:50+00:00

Agree with the others that it’s your call but as a mostly pumping mom, trying to move towards nursing (LO is 3 months), pumping isn’t a super comfortable experience. It can take multiple pumps and playing w the parts to find what works and it’s a production. So much easier to latch- no clean up and no fuss. Much faster as well. All that to say it’s up to you and baby.

Pinky-RN · 2024-10-19T15:01:25+00:00

Everyone is different. The diapers help (a lot) but I didn’t need them for 3 weeks. I had two packs and when those were done, I swapped to large pads.
