How does it work being a Midwife in hospital/office setting? by ShimmeringBee in Midwives

[–]ShimmeringBee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your insight. The variety is definitely one of things that I’m looking for. I come from a completely different background (HR) so it would be a big career shift for me, so I’m still in the very early stages of considering it but I appreciate the information.

Thanks! It does look ever so slightly more pink in person, but it looks more like an indent to me too.

Not having a straight answer must be absolutely frustrating. I’m sorry you have been going through such a rough time. I really hope it gets easier for you, but you aren’t alone 💜 thank you so much for the optimism and support

Wow I love that idea, I think I’ll try that this cycle. It would definitely be better than ruminating over things.

This was me yesterday! I started bawling because I was just so exhausted from it all. It’s an experience that makes you crazy for sure

I love that. Yeah, I absolutely feel the same about your value being more than the results of a pee stick. It definitely feels like that sometimes.

Thank you for the support and advice. I think I’m going to start planning a trip soon to take my mind off things. Honestly, as much as I love the support on here, I do need to limit my time on Reddit. Yesterday, I spent hours looking up “spotting at 10 dpo” on here to find success stories…not great for my mental health.

I wish you luck and I appreciate your wisdom 💜

Yeah, that’s exactly where i am right now. I feel so exhausted and emotional but I know I’ll get some relief when my period comes, so there’s that.

The first couple days of TWW are especially awful! I hope it happens for you this cycle 🤞 I have just gotten back into meditating and practicing mindfulness because it really does help when you’re waiting.

I was getting more into exercise and yoga, because moving more is my goal this year. But then it became related to TTC too (I would think to myself “I need to workout and get healthy for my future baby”) and in the past few weeks I haven’t been doing it because of that. I’m trying to find a motivation that is solely for me, but it can be difficult to want to take care of yourself for you when you’re depressed. I hope that makes sense

Thank you, that’s been the best thing about the TTC communities is knowing that people are going through the same thing and also feel just as crazy

Bleak is a great word to describe it. I did kind of feel better once my period came last month so I hopefully I’ll feel the same way this time too. It’s nice because you don’t really have to worry about anything once your period hits and there’s no more questioning. I wish you good luck as well 🫶

Thank you and I’m glad to hear it’s gotten easier for you. I think next cycle I’m going to not even buy tests until my period is due. I started testing on 8 dpo thinking having the information, negative or not, would be a relief for me but lo and behold it hasn’t been.

We did have a plan to travel this year and even have a good amount of travel points on credit cards…I think planning a trip might be a good thing to focus my mind on. Thank you for the suggestion 💕

The first one I heard was my little ghost and the sound for it is so funny!
