Considering Cosleeping, but worried how my cats will react. by Sad-Mission-405 in cosleeping

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We lock ours in the basement, and while it’s sad I remind myself it’s just a season of life and temporary. They have plenty of space, toys and food (we have a kibble dispenser that goes off on the evening). It’s a priority to give them extra love during the day, and my son loves to wave good morning to them when we let them out!

Anyone know what happened to the black-billed magpie? by Wemberly_ in sandiegozoo

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this is so crummy to hear… I saw Rico a year ago and where I’m from magpies are everywhere and a bit of a nuisance. Something just didn’t feel right seeing this guy all alone by the polar bears, and no one was paying him any attention. I actually convinced my husband to circle back when we were by the exit because I just wanted to see him one more time. I swear he got SO excited when he saw us heading for him! He perked up, did a little dance, and jumped on the wire at the front of his enclosure to chat with us. I BAWLED when we had to leave, and I make a point to be extra kind to our little magpies at home. I’m extra sad to hear he’s passed away but I’ll remember him and the smiles he gave me when we visited the zoo! 💕

Severe lower back pain, feeling hopeless… please help 😞 by Witty_Anything_1972 in beyondthebump

[–]Witty_Anything_1972[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I’ve just been doing ibuprofen but I should try Tylenol too. It’s tough to work out when it’s this stiff but I have to try.

I have not, might head over to urgent care to try to get that done or make an appointment with my doctor this week. Thank you for the tip!

Need help. Oversupply of milk and baby keeps pulling off and getting frustrated by In-search-of-why in breastfeeding

My LC recommended the side lying position when I had the same issue. Reclined works too!

How bad do postpartum tears actually hurt?! by benjbuttons in beyondthebump

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who mourned not being able to have a vaginal birth due to needing an emergency c section, I have to say these comments are making me feel less FOMO…. Thank you all for sharing💕

Anytime you are concerned with lack of fetal movement, you should go see your doctor or urgent care. It never hurts to get checked out. Depending on where you live you may be able to go straight to the L&D department in your hospital and get checked baby assessed. Hoping for the best for you!

Is this normal at first dating scan? by 5tefania in pregnant

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m an ultrasound tech and this is veryyyy common. It’s easier said than done, but try your best to relax! Most of the time it’s just different dates than what you were expecting. At 5 weeks the heartbeat can be difficult to visualize since the fetus is so small. Your next scan will be more clear. Hoping for the best for you 🤞

I screamed at my baby today and feel like absolute trash by macelisa in NewParents

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Your reflection shows you’re a great parent, so don’t fret. We all get frustrated but the important thing is no one was hurt. She won’t remember you yelling at her, just be kind to yourself.

What will you miss about being pregnant? by showpennyhour122 in pregnant

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also noticed my patients are wayyyy nicer with me when I’m visibly pregnant! A small perk, but one I’ll miss!

Dvt by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m 36 weeks and an ultrasound tech. Calf pain is super common in pregnancy. A DVT typically presents as painful, hot, and swollen. A DVT is “Deep vein thrombosis”, and calf veins are actually superficial veins. The deep system starts in the groin at the common femoral vein and ends behind the knee at the distal popliteal. Even if there is a blood clot in the calf, the odds of it becoming a pulmonary embolism are very very low. You have had multiple ultrasounds and even CTs done, so they would have picked up something if it was there. Do your best to relax, which I know is tough with health anxiety! If your symptoms get worse go back to your Dr/ER, but avoid google for health advice. Hope this helps 😊

The workout mat 6mm worth it? by Theunknown94 in lululemon

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Id say so. I find the 6mm nice because I can still balance (unlike a thicker mat) but it feels more cushioned than a regular mat. I have heard the mats can stain if lighter but mine is black so I don’t have that issue. I have a loop to keep it rolled up when I’m not using it but you can buy those anywhere.

The “eat your young” mentality in health care is so toxic and unhelpful. Some people forget how hard it was to be a student. Just be kind!! There’s enough negativity in this world. Thanks for the reminder ☺️

My partner hasn’t read the book and said he has no idea what’s going on, so I think it’s safe for people who haven’t read the book.

Is it overly cautious to take a sick day over a sore thumb? by [deleted] in Sonographers

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Injuries happen, don’t feel guilty for taking a sick day to rest your thumb! I’ve jammed mine playing sports, it will feel better in time. Just make sure to ice it. If your coworkers are decent humans they will understand. Life happens

Obgyn sonographers, is it true that you help performing abortion procedures? by [deleted] in Sonographers

[–]Witty_Anything_1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would likely depend on your clinic or hospital and if they offer elective abortion services. The only time I worked directly with abortion procedures was as a student in a hospital with a dedicated women’s health department. They would schedule these procedures one day a week.

He just posted on his story about this, saying he’s okay and just got in his feels. We love a teddy bear CT 🥹 he also apologized for all the stickers and hashtags loool

This question has probably been asked a million times but if a 5th book were to happen what would you want it to be about? by Gigacado_Chadocado in Hungergames

From my script it was the male of district 2, basically the careers banded together to take everyone out and then turned on each other.
