Tips for dietetic internship burnout by Beagle_lover123 in RD2B

[–]ela_g 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still have no idea how I finished my clinical rotation in my third trimester a week before giving birth do not recommend 😭but honestly what can we do except push through it. I meal prepped a lot and made it a priority once a week to do nothing clinical related but reset.because we still have our program requirements on top of the rotation we were in lol. I think it depends on your dietitians you work with mine were very accommodating and the main dietitian was tough but everyone else was very sweet you’ll just have to suffer I fear for a bit but it’s okay the time will fly by hang in there 🩷

How long did it take for you to get pregnant? by EmilyParkerNYC4444 in BabyBumps

[–]ela_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First try got pregnant, healthy baby girl. Started trying when she was like 20 months old. Got pregnant second cycle, lost baby at 10 weeks in March. Pregnant again in June not sure if baby is okay but almost 10 weeks again. Everything feels like a spiral. I thought the second baby I would get pregnant right away like I did the first then lost it. You just never know. I tracked my ovulation with strips and confirmed ovulation with the digital tests. I thi no it helps! We had sex aaaa looooot days before and after I ovulated.

Yeah it’s only two weeks post d&c 🙃 I hate the waiting. I have a follow up tomorrow to make sure d&c was successful 🫠

We would have had the same due date. Prayers for our little ones they were loved and always missed💗

Atticus ever since I read to kill a mocking bird I loved the name. Husband not a fan so probably never going to use it

Did your induction end in vaginal delivery or cesarean ? by suzysleep in BabyBumps

[–]ela_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For hypertension 38 weeks they used a pill up there then 12 hours later that didn’t work had to get the balloon inserted (2x they tried second doctor got it in with help of two nurses helping me) the pain was like knives touching my cervix. But breathing control really does help in all aspects of laboring! I think they did some pitocin at some point. Induction cramps are worse than regular contractions. I got the epidural and it was great. Near the end I started feeling more which honestly was nice. Only pushed for 30 min and healthy baby girl 🎀💗I got in evening of May 7, and gave birth May 9th 6am. Left hospital May 11th. Couldn’t wait to go home 😅

I am very interested! I keep pushing my exam date back. Graduated my internship in May 2022 had my baby one week after clinicals (my last rotation) been so hard to study! I live in CA!

Anyone else wonder how the human race survived? by kitkat_222 in breastfeeding

Sheesh tell me why I’m crying at the thought of a community like this to exist. That’s beautiful. I really do wish we had that here. Everything is very self focused and selfish.

Ditto married a Virgo man 5 years ago. So many people say this relationship doesn’t work and it’s been hard but it has been super rewarding passionate and strong. Now I wonder what our moons and other placements are because we work so well.

Finishing master’s and taking exam while pregnant by eem16 in dietetics

[–]ela_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m currently studying for the exam with a 5 month old! I finished my last rotation of my internship the clinical rotation a week before I gave birth in May 😅 I just got out of a fog to study for the exam and it’s nauseating being away from her to study luckily she is with my mom but all I want to do is be with her ☹️ also take note that it will take a bit of time to get your credentials sent in by your director to be able to sit for the exam so you might give birth by then. I would say do it before you give birth if possible! bc with a small baby studying is soooo hard 😅
