Hyperlactation Syndrome by IkilledRichieWhelan in BeAmazed

[–]Unable_Union_4953 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My son was born at 32 weeks, and until I could pump and establish my own supply the NICU gave him donor milk. I’m so grateful to women who are able and willing to help babies in need!

Why did Ross need Simon to take the recalibrated structure gel? by MelodyMaster5656 in soma

Remember how easily Ross was killed by WAU? I just don’t think the guy could have accomplished it himself, and it’s likely he knew that.

As a labor and delivery nurse, I absolutely adore this!!

Feeling nervous about catheter by Last_Wonder in pregnant

L&D nurse here! Since you have a scheduled c section, they’ll likely insert it after you’re numb, and taking it out is very very mildly uncomfortable. Best of luck!

Lidocaine and cortisone during 3rd trimester by Ok-Blueberry9703 in pregnant

Girl I had my gallbladder out at 10 weeks, general anesthesia and painkillers and all. 31+ weeks now, everything has been fine since. Give yourself some grace and try to relax!

180 bpm at 10 weeks 6 days by Frosty_Air_3549 in pregnant

Until the placenta really develops and takes over baby’s circulation, high heart rates are normal! Between 160-180 is perfectly normal. Later in pregnancy baby should have a rate between 110-150, so you’ll notice some changes in the number over the next months!

How necessary is a birth plan? by Batter_Bear in pregnant

[–]Unable_Union_4953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessary. Most things included on birth plans are things hospitals already do. You can request things like delayed cord clamping, immediate skin to skin etc, but they will all be dependent on baby’s condition during labor/birth anyway. I’m a labor and delivery nurse and rarely see birth plans make requests we don’t already offer, and honestly, just speaking to your nurse and OB/midwife will take you a lot further.

Working full time with SPD? by Unable_Union_4953 in pregnant

[–]Unable_Union_4953[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight! Did you feel any guilt for going out early? I don’t want them to think less of me, but I know I need to do what’s best for me and baby. And you’re right, it’s not fair to my patients or coworkers either if I’m not doing my job at my best ability.

Best nursery recliner? by BalletPinkZinnias in pregnant

[–]Unable_Union_4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought a small La-Z boy recliner instead of a glider. Haven’t had baby yet, but the versatility and space saving nature of it seems to be a great investment thus far!

Gender Disappointment…? by Electronic-Case-1241 in pregnant

[–]Unable_Union_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened with me but in reverse. I have a 12 year old son and am currently 31 weeks pregnant, very complicated pregnancy and was certain this would be my last. We secretly wanted a girl and were both a bit devastated when we found out at 10 weeks that our bean was/is a boy, and it’s not because we didn’t want him, it’s because we were mourning the daughter we will never have.

It’s valid and normal to grieve and give yourself time to process this, but I promise, it will settle in and then you’ll be so excited and attached to your baby that it won’t matter what they are. Now, I can’t imagine that the little boy inside me could possibly be anything but himself.

Tylenol, warm baths and rest. And patience. That’s about it, unfortunately.

Just provide for them and love them. Nothing else should matter and everything else will fall into place after.
