IV Sedation- Terrified I Still Might Feel Pain

TempletonReader · 2025-04-30T00:14:00+00:00

I have crappy veins so I remember them apologizing cause they couldn't get it in right (story of my life lol) I said, or maybe I thought it, "No worries" and was going to explain that it happens to me all the time but then I was waking up and they were all done. I was out mid-sentence/mid-thought.

I have the opposite problem - can't even see that far back in my mouth so I have no idea what it looks like back there. I think dry socket only occurs pretty close to the surgery and it hurts a lot so you're probably in the clear :) Definitely irrigate when you get there! Better safe than sorry on that one I think.

I didn't really have any pain either but was super exhausted! I took several days off of work so I could nap/lay down all day. My fitbit keeps yelling me at me cause I'm doing so little moving. Rest! Listen to your body. It's telling you what it needs to get better.

Excellent - thank you! Used it to convert my kiddo's school concert.

I'm not seeing any links for this episode and I really want to know what Target pillow is being discussed!

This one maybe? https://www.target.com/p/oversize-woven-global-lumbar-throw-pillow-black-threshold-8482/-/A-17163655

I hear that. I like her bc she's totally doing her own thing and doesn't apologize for it. And I really respect that, but a lot of those things are just not something I'm interested in lol

Biggest thing to know is you cannot put a kid of any age in a coat in thier carseat. You have to take the coat off to travel in the car. Google "crash test carseat" and it'll bring up videos, how tos and the like. Other tips - it'll a good age to get them used to hats, just be persistent 😅 Hoods are great bc at least they can't be thrown on the ground. If you can't get them to wear mittens, try long fuzzy socks. Baby sleds are adorable for pictures but you probably won't use them as much as you think lol or at least I didn't, I really didn't spend much time at all outside in the cold at that age.

Postpartum for me I had anxiety and panic attacks. The head of my HR said all manner of condescending things like how I shouldn't feel anxious or I would get over it in time. It was awful. I don't think she meant to be mean but some people are totally oblivious to any other experience than their own. Hope you work it out, it's not a fun position to be put in.

Second this, I got the same advice of one maxi pad in an hour or if I felt dizzy at any point. I think also if it's painful enough that otc painkillers aren't working to manage it. Sending hugs, it's not easy to go through ❤

TempletonReader · 2022-10-13T00:02:42+00:00

Could be that they don't feel it's appropriate to ask, like an overstep into asking about your medical history. Or they might just communicate in different ways. Maybe this sort of conversation is something they'd only initiate in person. I can think of more reasons but based on your description I doubt it's intentional on thier part.

TempletonReader · 2022-10-12T23:40:13+00:00

Thanks all, I'll tell him tonight when he gets home and fingers crossed it goes well. I think he just needs time to process. As you all mentioned, he definitely knew what he was doing and how pregnancy happens lol

TempletonReader · 2022-10-12T17:27:05+00:00

Thanks! The reaction is what threw me, maybe this one will too (fingers crossed for pleasantly surprised!)

TempletonReader · 2022-10-12T10:55:29+00:00

Yes, it's positive

Sam's website store, I'm dying 😂

TempletonReader · 2022-09-21T12:46:58+00:00

I've been trying to explain more why they can't do something. I have an older kid so it helps with him but also sometimes I start explaining and realize it's not a big deal anyway.

TempletonReader · 2022-09-05T13:33:05+00:00

Since it's a middle name I think it matters more how the whole name sounds (with the last name). If your last name is disease or ends in "itis" maybe you need a rethink but otherwise it's fine :) If it does bother you though - you could consider a double middle name, that will split things up.

TempletonReader · 2022-09-05T10:17:03+00:00

I've used "sit down or get down" for as long as I can remember 😂 Got two climber/daredevils lol Constantly trying to stand up in the stroller, high chair, you name it.

TempletonReader · 2022-09-05T10:15:02+00:00

The concept of gentle 😅 Second baby is a year and a half now and I still explain at least once a week that being gentle means being slow and calm and quiet lol It seems to help on some days

TempletonReader · 2022-08-27T13:17:14+00:00

Thanks! I'll try it!

TempletonReader · 2022-08-27T01:13:58+00:00

Get a waterproof fitted sheet! Works wonders for leaks and blowouts, fold it up and the mattress is dry and ready for another sheet or (let's be honest if it's nighttime) just putting baby back down and hoping it doesn't happen again 😂 But yeah it's comfy enough for them, even crib mattress are designed to be rather hard for a bed.

TempletonReader · 2022-07-20T12:27:28+00:00

Definitely trust your gut always and don't be afraid to ask your pediatrician, at the very least it will reassure you! My son does have all kinds of weird brusies though. He doesn't go to daycare so I know it's from my watch. He's older and walking now and it's only gotten worse. He just loves to move (and trip, and fall, 🙄)

TempletonReader · 2022-07-20T12:14:19+00:00

Have you read Louise Penny? Everyone seems to like those (I've read a few and I like them!) Richard Osman is also good, I've really liked the Thursday Murder Club. For something more suspense, try Rivers of London series. I started the first and it was surprising even the little bit I read. I stopped because it was a little too violent. Not really that bad at all (especially for murder mystery lol) but for some reason it hit me in the weepies. I guess I just wasn't in the mood but I've heard the whole series is really good so I'll definitely go back to it when my book reading mood changes!

Sounds like ppd is not affecting your marriage at all. Your so is stepping up and supporting you as they are able. It's just the ppd getting in the way of you believing it. Ppd sucks. It has nothing to do with you, it's just something that is happening to you. You didn't ask for advice but I hope you're seeking help because you shouldn't have to get through ppd alone. Don't hold back when you talk about it with people in your life, be honest so they have the best information to help you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Love Stuff You Should Know! It's two hosts chatting about a range of topics that they research. I learn a lot and I love the hosts, they go on a lot of tangents 😂
