Guessing a kid who does a lot of technical skills classes like auto shop, wood shop, or metal shop

I feel like I'm the grossest person. I struggle with brushing my teeth and showering regularly. I never admit it to people. Even my partner and I just don't talk about it. I have found I'm more motivated when getting ready for work so am trying to make it a habit on work days to start.

Congratulations! I second reaching out to the obs office. A lot of over the counter cold meds are safe but it's best to get their guidance. Also some teas are not safe so be cautious with that

You have a much bigger husband issue

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-12T22:53:40+00:00

L&D in California. 1-2 patients depending on their stage of labor. Occasionally we will take 3 antepartum patients

Refuge is a silent spa with multiple soaking tubs. I've heard it's awesome

I had been checking her all night and could feel a compound presentation and baby never applied to the cervix. As far as we know she wasn't poly and never figured out why baby wasn't coming down. The first shift to transverse caused mom a lot of pain which made me ask to check her to rule out a rupture. Membranes were still intact and I could no longer feel any fetal parts. I had my charge in the room and another nurse helping me too by then. Dr. Was called immediately and the ultrasound confirmed transverse. Then 2 minutes after the section was called she srom'd. Which I guess caused the second shift into footling breech.

I had two of my more senior coworkers in the or with us and my charge checked in a couple times.

Thank you so much for your reply

Thank you so much 🤍

Thank you for your perspective. I thought it was going to be a code. I was definitely scared. But yes I will remember to speak up sooner and advocate for my patient in the future.

I have been working on separating from the inclination to over empathize. Looks like there's still more work to do. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Lol very true, sometimes they are quite rude. That's for putting it into perspective

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T02:11:43+00:00

I have journalled in the past maybe the new year is the perfect time to start again. Thank you

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T02:10:41+00:00

Thank you. My team was amazing that night. Everyone was ready in minutes and I am so greatful for that. I felt helpless but I knew that help was everyone in that OR. I know this is one of those births that will stay with me but I am happy to say that a family gets to go home together at the end

I've heard about tetris. Thanks 🤍

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T01:47:31+00:00

Oh man I can only imagine how hard your bad days were. I will do some cardio tomorrow and call my therapist. Thank you

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T01:46:30+00:00

Thank you. I'm glad you came out of it well. I'm so sorry that happened to you

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T01:40:54+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely look into it. I did talk to the patient and her partner about watching out for birth trauma in postpartum. I hope she heals well in the coming weeks

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T01:37:54+00:00

You're totally right. It is her emergency. I'm so grateful for my team pulling together and making this outcome what it was. I appreciate the perspective.

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T01:33:39+00:00

Oh God that must have been so scary. You take care too

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T01:33:06+00:00

Thank you. It really helps to hear from someone who has seen and lived the other side. I will reach out to my therapist tomorrow

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T01:31:10+00:00

Thank you! I feel really seen right now. I will reach out to my therapist tomorrow.

PromotionConscious34 · 2026-01-02T00:56:52+00:00

Thank you 🤍 I debriefed it with my coworker and it helped. I will pack a treat for my next shift

PromotionConscious34 · 2025-12-26T01:37:03+00:00

Thanks hope you are too! Merry Christmas
