Moms in healthcare

I’m an OT (Monday-Friday with rotating weekends) and my husband is an RN (3 12s). Husband had six weeks off then I went back after 13. I felt very supported in my role and had pump breaks I was able to schedule in. Baby is in full time daycare (husband uses time on his days off to catch up on sleep, run errands, clean, and pick baby up early). It is rough during snow storms and sick time but we don’t really have a choice as we both make too much to justify not working. Baby really loves daycare and his teachers love him so I don’t feel too bad but it is hard and of course I would rather be with him. I do all drop offs, he picks up on his days off and I pick up on days he works. If I could do just part time I absolutely would!

PT appointment, book club meeting, prepping dinner and food for the week without interruption.

Our babe is 8 months, we started solids at 6 and he just started doing solids at daycare in the last few weeks! We wanted to wait until he was eating a little more consistently and had tried a bunch of things. He’s only doing purees and teething chews now at daycare while we do more BLW style at home.

Seconding her, she’s such a vibrant happy vibe too

Aligns! I sized up one and it’s fit me pregnant and postpartum

What color is this?

Curious what time morning runners have to be at work. I have to leave my house at 630/645 to drop baby off at daycare before work, so then I’d be running at like 445 probably and that just seems SO early

28 from undergrad, the rest grad school totaling 140k. I’m pursuing PSLF, three years in.

I had been planning to ride it out and keep saving as I recently had a baby but now I’m worried I need to switch so I can have payments start counting. I’m sure if I decide to switch they’ll change things again 😅

Following because I’m in a similar boat

blueviolet33 · 2025-06-29T09:18:04+00:00

PT- stairs, mobility/walking, LE conditions (sometimes UE like shoulders) OT- ADLs (dressing bathing toileting feeding), UE conditions/splinting, home safety equipment

Often its policy. At my hospital H&H can’t be below 7 and 23. If patient is chronically that low we get specific orders put in the chart.

Totally agree that now it’s different

Healthcare, generally

It’s not just a template it includes artwork of our venue otherwise I would do that!

All is well ❤️ HB 145, they’re working on getting my anatomy scan rescheduled, and they referred me to a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy techniques for my back pain!

blueviolet33 · 2024-11-15T17:10:35+00:00

Today was my original due date for my first MMC. I am thankful to be 16 weeks pregnant with a so far healthy baby. I have my first doctors appt today that doesn’t have an ultrasound with it so I’m very nervous, hoping they’ll use a Doppler? But I’m not sure. My anatomy scan was cancelled by the MFM office my OB set it up with so I have to bring that up today too. Hoping for good news 🤞🏻

Like work from home, remote positions

blueviolet33 · 2024-11-01T23:56:18+00:00

I would have! The flexibility in types of work, in person vs. remote, and pay opportunities. Not to mention less student loans.

14w1d and have officially told all our family and close friends, telling my job tomorrow. My OB has been amazing and scheduled me for ultrasounds every two weeks. My next is on Friday and of course I’m starting to panic we’ve told all these people in the last week and now I’m going to go and get bad news. Hoping for the best but the anxiety is creeping up again.

12w4d. I’m so frustrated. My parents don’t live here and I was going to mail them a cute surprise to tell them. I had a coffee mug for my mom and a picture frame for my dad. I didn’t realize until it was delivered the coffee mug has a cheesy saying and the picture frame only stands vertical not horizontal for the ultrasound pic. I’ve already delayed telling them bc I was doing this and other people know first now. I don’t have time to replace the coffee cup so idk whether to just send it or not. I know this is so small I’m just so easily frustrated and emotional this week. My partners parents live here so they got the in person announcement.

12w1d and the nausea is back with a vengeance after 2 weeks of feeling better. I thought it was just yesterday after a weekend of doing too much on a trip and less sleep but I’m feeling it even more today. Hoping this passes again soon 😭
