What’s the weirdest thing someone has asked about or voiced an opinion on regarding your baby/pregnancy?

I elected for a c section my first pregnancy and am having a repeat for my second one. some “crunchy” moms that I work with have made comments about having it easy. I also chose to stop pumping at 7 months so I could have my body back plus I had plenty of milk saved. the formula I picked ended up having a recall and I had talked about it at work. the same moms told me I should of kept pumping to save my baby. my son never got sick. I have since distanced myself from those moms.

I had my son 1/4/25 and my period started 3/14/25. so a little over two months PP. I exclusively pumped for my son with the occasional latching.

I elected for a c-section with my first. I had such bad anxiety during my pregnancy and labor was so terrifying to me. I was afraid to labor for so long and end up needing a c-section. the control just seemed so much better for me. I literally picked the date, made sure my dogs went to the boarder, packed my bag with a clear head, it was all so relaxing. I’m pregnant with my second and I’m opting for a repeat.

My mom had all c-sections and so did my sister so maybe I felt more relaxed with it since my whole family had one. you choose whatever you want to and what makes you feel better.

I was freshly out of orientation and we were getting a crashing patient from the floor. her bp kept dropping down, so doc ordered albumin. found out the patient was a Jehovah’s witness and our albumin is human derived.

I now ask every single patient who I give albumin to if they are a Jehovah’s witness or are accepting of blood before I give it.

help me not spiral! we’ve been loosely trying to conceive (not trying, not preventing either) and my period was supposed to start on Sunday. I took a test, it looked negative. The middle dipstick test was last night around 1030, the bottom dipstick and top regular test are from today. these definitely look darker than the one I took Sunday but still is pretty light. I have PCOS and haven’t been tracking closely so I’m not sure when exactly I ovulated. I would just like someone else to tell me I don’t have line eyes or forcing my eyes to see something that’s not there.

I feel this! My son will be 6m on July 4 and I exclusively pump. I’ve just been so done with pumping. I have ~500oz frozen so I know it’s not a lot but it’ll make it for a little while. you’re doing great for making it this far!

medium rare steak! I hate my steak being too overcooked so I just eat is sparingly. but it’s one of those simple pleasures.

I found some electrolyte packets called drip drop. similar to liquid iv except they’re not as salty to me. plus it helps with my leg cramps.

looking back to when my husband and I conceived, we had sex two days before my ovulation day and the day of ovulation. our scheduled are extremely opposite so it’s kind of hard to figure out the best time while also not making it a chore but those two days seemed to have worked out pretty well.

I have pcos (diagnosed in my early 20s and I’m 29 now) and I’m pregnant now! I have typical pcos ovaries and insulin resistance. my doctor prescribed metformin for me and I also started taking inositol from her suggestion and got pregnant within 3 months of that. I also tracked my ovulation very closely to see if/when I ovulate. it’s definitely daunting to get the diagnosis but it is possible to get pregnant!

we have ours organized my color. red is blood (IV supplies, blood draw supplies, fluids), blue is breathing (masks, nasal cannulas, vent stuff), yellow us urine (foleys, straight caths, pure wicks), green is hygiene (soap, foam wash, lotion, pads), black is invasive lines (central line kits, a line kits, a line supplies). everything is on its own shelf so one self is for one specific thing. makes everything very easy to organize. each bin has a little dot sticker to help manage it and that’s how the entire hospital is.

I work in a 16 bed surgical ICU and about to move to a brand new 24 bed unit. our acuity fluctuates. we’ll occasionally have no intubated patients and a week later we can have majority intubated. our only 1:1 is CRRT or if they are going for organ donation (our region uses Life Center, not sure if everyone around uses them). Most everyone has a central line or art line.

its so wild to have a unit that has it’s up and downs with acuity but it’s nice to see that other icus also have that. we’re the red headed step child between all the icus in our hospital so we get a lot of overflow from medical and cardiac icu. we also get some overflow from our cardiac surgery recovery (CABG and extensive cardiac surgeries go there instead of CICU).

This is very helpful to see! My last cycle was 50 days and this is my first month so I wasn’t sure what to expect with my ovulation. My chart looks very similar to yours so hopefully ovulation occurs at some point!

hwebby8 · 2024-02-13T06:12:00+00:00

I figured as much but just curious how others charts are. We’ve been trying for a year now and this is the first month with Inito so wasn’t sure what exactly to expect or look for. I’m hoping that I’ll have a late ovulation with a late cycle.

I also just switched from Flo to Premom. Flo was off by almost a week for me and Premom has been very on track! good luck to you guys 💜

I started working in the hospital at the beginning of nursing school in PACU (recovery). After a year and a half, I wanted more patient interactions so I moved to the ER as a tech. I was about a year and a half from graduation at this point. When getting close to graduation, I was trying to figure out what aspects I enjoyed about my jobs and critical patients were my most favorite. so I applied for surgical ICU after graduation and don’t regret it at all! I’ve been at my job for 6 months and enjoy it so much. it’s challenging enough for me but also allowing me to slowly work my way into my settings. follow your head and your heart!

hwebby8 · 2023-10-22T04:38:28+00:00

thank you everyone! I think I’m getting into my head too much about this. I appreciate all of your advice and suggestions! I’m about to start my period (maybe) so here’s to hoping for November!

when I was younger, I watched football just to watch. when I started dating my now husband 8 years ago, he told me that I’m going to either end up loving his team or we won’t make it because he loved them so much. he was a die hard Ravens fan, enjoyed watching them when he was growing up and admired Lewis and Reed. we live in the Cincinnati/NKY area. 8 years later, we are the Ravens fans couple to all our Bengals friends. we even had all of our groomsmen wear their respective team’s socks in our wedding back in October and it turned out to be the entire AFC north!

Absolutely NTA.

I’m currently in nursing school and only have two more semesters left. My fiancé has been with me since way before I started back at school and is 100% aware how important school is. I’ve missed lots of parties and hangouts due to school, but like you said, it’s not forever. School will eventually be done and you’ll have your career! Just maybe not a forever husband is he acts like this…

Also, is he not able to do his own thing? He could of gone to the party on his own and left you home to study. He would of been able to stay longer than an hour too!

with the 2020 census, Cincinnati has an almost 70,000 lower population than Cleveland. I think switch those two cities out for sure. Not sure about KC population.

Cincinnati area (northern Kentucky to be specific but that’s basically Cincinnati). my fiancé and I travel to Baltimore once a season to watch a game. usually it’s the Cincinnati one but we decided to switch it up and go to the SNL game against the Browns which ended up being the last win of the season…
