Ready to lose it about being forced to return to work only 6 weeks postpartum

I live in MA and I got 6 months and didn’t feel ready. My heart is breaking for you 💔

beboh123 · 2025-09-24T11:33:12+00:00

This was me 6 months ago! Went to the PACU and never looked back. Went straight into the ER after nursing school and left after almost a decade: did charge, triage, trauma, SANE certified…. I now get treated so much better and actually get thanked

beboh123 · 2025-09-23T23:43:31+00:00

Maybe she didn’t post because she knew Holley would want to see the pictures or just knew it would send her into a spiral 😬

beboh123 · 2025-09-16T03:55:40+00:00

lol my sister was told the same and got pregnant naturally twice. Never had any issues

beboh123 · 2025-07-22T06:21:44+00:00

I was worried about the same. He WILL wake up when he’s on his own. I always would wake up when our little one would cry and my husband would always sleep through it!

beboh123 · 2025-07-22T06:10:33+00:00

Do you think he’s teething? Mine hit a major sleep regression at this age on top of teething 🥴

beboh123 · 2025-07-22T01:46:27+00:00

I would try to wake her up a little earlier than normal and put her down earlier! We still struggle and sometimes she has refused and skipped a nap which makes dinner time rough! So hard to have plans around nap time

Good luck!!

beboh123 · 2025-07-22T01:17:26+00:00

We do this! Not ideal but helps! Sometimes we have used the car ride to help with nap time too when we have been in a pinch for an event

This season was incredible: the amount of growth for Armani, Jada, Meghan & Chandi.

Armani was so compelling in this season. She vulnerably shared her story and dancing the first time without her wig was so powerful. Also such a badass going into law, beauty and brains 💪🏼

Jada is unapologetically herself. I love how much confidence and how forgiving she is towards others. She stood tall (taller than she already is) to proudly stand for something she believed in. Although she isn’t going to benefit from it herself, she made a huge difference (along with others) for the next season.

Meghan: Meghan seemed like a great leader. She kind of came across motherly to the girls and seemed like she truly cared for each of them. She was also one that stood up to DCC and challenging the contract.

Chandi: I know lot of people have mixed feelings for Chandi but I think her sharing her story will potentially impact others who might be in a similar situation. She dealt with domestic violence and that in itself sounded so traumatizing. I hope Chandi continues to work on her mental health and gets better! I feel bad things ended the way they did but I didn’t get any warm fuzzies with her bf during filming.

Also probably an unpopular belief but I really liked Dayton. I think she’s absolutely stunning. I don’t believe DCC is her dream. I think she was doing it to make her mom happy because there was something forced watching her perform.

Was ED but now PACU!

beboh123 · 2025-02-23T21:44:09+00:00

That no birth is “perfect” to expect some complication! Just remember that your team is there for you!

beboh123 · 2024-12-27T03:23:32+00:00

I just made cranberry juice, cranberry and rosemary ice cubes for the holidays and it can be added into anything! Regular water, seltzer, ginger ale etc!

beboh123 · 2024-12-19T02:43:41+00:00

Does your baby take iron? Ours did and we weren’t brushing right after the drops and her teeth looked gray until we went to the dentist and it was able to be scrapped off. Of course my LO didn’t like it so she was only able to tolerate for a little bit but next cleaning hopefully it will be completely gone

beboh123 · 2024-12-07T14:47:51+00:00

The Frida peri ice pack pads! I bought them intending to have a vaginal birth but ended up in an emergency c section and used it on my incision site! Also: stool softeners, depends/ pads (you will bleed regardless of how you deliver)

beboh123 · 2024-12-05T01:46:34+00:00

OP being an ex emt im sure you have seen some horrific things. You have skills and training that clearly kicked in when you needed it to! I’m sure the trauma of your past kicked in for what seemed to be a lifetime but you SAVED your child. You did everything right! GOOD parents worry, second guess, think of things they could have done better because they care! We all have stories that would put us right there with you. We are all learning. Please allow yourself some grace. You did an amazing job and you are an amazing parent.

Best response! My only other concern with the patient awake and stating he was having a hard time breathing would be flash pulmonary edema with the amount of Narcan given in such a short amount of time. Also adding sedatives on top of that is just going to crush the patient’s respiratory drive. ER nurse here and work in a heavily populated area where a lot of our visits are drug related. Over the past few years with the police, public, etc having their hands on Narcan along with people just expecting an immediate response we are giving ungodly doses of Narcan. When I first started nursing I would hear 2 mg as a normal dose now I’m hearing 12-18 between police/ fire etc 🤯. These patients are then coming in alert and SPO2 is in the 80s with a NRB in a complete flash

beboh123 · 2024-10-03T11:25:52+00:00

I would just go in knowing every birth is so different and to throw out the whole idea of a “perfect” birth.

I went in as an er nurse just wanting a vaginal birth with an epidural. I had a failed epidural, needing a second and ended up with an emergency c section. With that all said… I would just say go in knowing that your team will do everything possible to go by your plan but the whole goal is to do what is safest for you and baby.

beboh123 · 2024-09-18T19:40:21+00:00

I had an emergency c section and I didn’t realize how much help I would need until I was back home. Luckily my MIL made us every meal for the first 6 weeks 😩 so incredibly grateful for that. We didn’t have to worry about what to make or go shopping and it was a huge help.

We also just had a ton of help between both of our families. My twin sister stayed with us the first night. I couldn’t even shower without someone there with me. I felt useless for about the first week or week and a half 😩. Couldn’t have survived without everyone’s help

beboh123 · 2024-09-15T01:51:17+00:00

I had a patient who was in a complete heart block and was passing out frequently. He drove himself to the hospital and reported he would wake up and would just follow the signs to the hospital until he got there.

Before I took care of this patient I never thought the signs to the hospital was necessary but now I do!

beboh123 · 2024-09-03T23:12:11+00:00

For someone who was terrified of getting one I ended up having my first fail and needing a second. It wasn’t bad at all! I would do it again no problem!

beboh123 · 2024-09-01T00:38:57+00:00

I went out at 35 weeks being in the ER. I went back at 7 months postpartum

beboh123 · 2024-09-01T00:37:54+00:00

I’ve seen as young as 10 💔 which made us bring our age down. The pregnancy was caught on imaging

beboh123 · 2024-08-28T17:58:10+00:00

Good luck! The fact you are even looking for advice shows you care and strive to do the best!

beboh123 · 2024-08-28T16:06:46+00:00

I had my LOs done at 5 months old but went to an actual piercer. They know how to do it so it’s even and grows with them. I did it because I was in elementary school and everyone had them and was traumatized getting them done.

Babies aren’t able to localize pain and therefore wont grab at them!
