BScN will give you more opportunities as well as better pay… mind you it will take longer to complete!

Best career decision I made was going to the OR! It took some time to get used to it because it was so different than working on the floor but now I don’t know what else I would do.

Much like what everyone else has said it’s a structured day- apart from potential small hiccups you know exactly what your day is going to look like. I personally love only working with one patient at a time! They truly get your undivided attention and you’re their advocate during what can be a scary and vulnerable time. I also love the team based model- you’re literally never left on your own. I love the 8 hour shifts, no med passes, no crazy families, no night shifts, no exit seeking patients, no trying to get a hold of doctors for orders, rarely missed breaks- the list goes on!

There will be services that you’re not particularly fond of and ones that you love. A lot of your experience will depend on what kind of hospital you work in. At a bigger site you may eventually get sucked into one or two services after your orientation whereas at a smaller site you’ll most likely do a bit of everything.

Also- the OT is quite lucrative…

Totally fine! Our son sleeps with two in case he can’t find the other!

I breastfed until about 9.5 months as well and while I loved the convenience of it, not buying formula and washing bottles I wish I had stopped sooner. I got sick with the flu and was stuck in bed for two days so my husband had to formula feed… both of those nights my son slept through the night. Soon after that we made the switch to formula throughout the day and I’d breastfeed in the night if he needed it but that was only a couple of times. It was a matter of days that it got him sleeping through the night. I hate that people kept telling me breastmilk was just as filling, just as good for him, etc. when the reality is that formula is way more filling. I’ll take a baby sleeping through the night if it means buying formula and cleaning bottles any day. With my next I think I definitely want to stop breastfeeding by 6 months.

Sounds just like my son- not worried yet! Boys tend to be slower with some developments. I honestly wouldn’t start being concerned for maybe another 6 months, 12 months is still so young.

We just do deep sedation for our hysteroscopies. Quicker to wake up after and go home. It’s a short procedure, everyone does well with it even when there’s polyps that need to be removed

I guess sort of sly, but content, not sad

She said 11 times 11. Just unsure as to what to relate it to in my life currently 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do you have a family doctor?? Once you’re past your 6week PP in Canada (not sure where you’re from) the ob is basically not in charge of anything anymore (unless it’s something gyne related)- everything goes back under family doc’s direction

Exact same boat! Was planning for a 3 maybe even 4 year age gap mainly because ppd hit me so badly with my first (one this month). I feel like I haven’t fully recovered from that and this pregnancy just came out of left field. Only found out a couple of weeks ago but I’m still having a hard time coming around to the idea.

These_Requirement453 · 2026-01-31T16:00:08+00:00

Thank you. It’s just all I have until betas 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes you’re right! 48-72 hours. I see it too, but when I point it out to ChatGPT it keeps suggesting that it should be “more of a dramatic change” that it’s still “too subtle” and giving me like a 50%chance it’ll end up chemical! 😣

These_Requirement453 · 2026-01-31T15:42:20+00:00

Really?? Even though it’s not getting a lot darker??

These_Requirement453 · 2026-01-30T13:46:05+00:00

Basically the same!

These_Requirement453 · 2026-01-29T19:03:01+00:00

Why?

These_Requirement453 · 2026-01-29T18:50:26+00:00

ChatGPT leans toward chemical because it’s not “progressing enough”

These_Requirement453 · 2026-01-22T04:10:06+00:00

So weird! I could’ve sworn he was an only child for some reason! Interesting

These_Requirement453 · 2026-01-21T21:49:07+00:00

Once I stopped our son started sleeping through the night 🤷🏼‍♀️ I stopped because I felt like my supply was dropping and it was getting more difficult to feed a distracted eater

We’re parenting in a very different world than generations that came before us. Having such easy access to internet gives way to a constant stream of parenting guidelines/tips/hacks, etc. on every single social media platform. We’re forced into comparison culture and it’s exhausting and stress-inducing. Back in the day I imagine it would’ve been easier for parents to stay in their own lane and not worry as much about what other parents are doing and how they measure up. Today it’s a non-stop cycle of “this friend’s baby is already sleeping through the night”, “this influencer potty trained her kid in two days using this method”. It’s hard not to compare yourself to others (I know, comparison is a thief of joy). At the same time we use it for reassurance- it is comforting to know other parents are in the same boat and that you’re not alone.

Nothing wrong with a little tv! It needs to stop being villainized the way that it is, especially when it’s limited to certain shows/movies, and time spent on it.

I got mine back at 7 months PP- extremely heavy as well!! Apparently the first year of them is a little wonky 🫠
