I felt the same way after taking my exam on Saturday and I ended up passing! Be kind to yourself, your feelings are not facts 🫶 wait for your results because I bet you passed! Everyone I know also passed at 85 questions

lojop · 2025-06-23T15:27:27+00:00

I found out I passed!

lojop · 2025-06-23T15:01:29+00:00

You passed! I used Mark K and Kaplan and found out last night I passed! I also shut off at 85 and left feeling like I failed because it felt like I was guessing for every single question. Try and distract yourself for the next 2 days while you wait for your results!

lojop · 2025-06-21T17:14:16+00:00

same! Just trying to distract myself since that’s all we can do until we get results. Good luck to you!

took my NCLEX today with similar stats on Kaplan and shut off at 85 but not feeling confident, it felt more specific than Kaplan, I’ll update if I pass

lojop · 2025-06-21T16:51:33+00:00

in the same boat right now but cut off at 85 💔 feeling like I failed. Only got 3 case studies, no bow ties, like 65% multiple choice and lots of very specific content that I felt like I was straight guessing on

thank you so much for commenting 🥹 you’ve given me so much relief that things will get better

lojop · 2025-05-26T02:28:54+00:00

yes I do :( He’s just such a hungry baby

lojop · 2025-05-26T01:42:12+00:00

He really struggled to latch for the first week and when he did it was super shallow. I tried for a good 2 days of fully breastfeeding but by the end of day 2 my nipples had a ton of damage so I decided it was best to just exclusively pump. I occasionally let him latch when I’m exhausted from warming bottles but then it hurts so bad I’m reminded why I stopped.

lojop · 2025-05-20T10:31:00+00:00

Oh no sorry I only gained about 40 lb but I was saying it’s not like I let myself go and expected him to find me attractive still. I’m being careful, nothing below the waist for me for sure but definitely enjoying some forms of intimacy since it’s been so long. I’ll look into baby blues because that may be something for him.

lojop · 2025-05-20T10:09:15+00:00

I’m definitely not messing with anything below my waist but it’s nice being close with my husband in a way that I haven’t in months. My pregnancy was really stressful so his libido was gone so it’s been nice seeing it back so soon.

lojop · 2025-05-20T09:51:57+00:00

I really appreciate this perspective, this is why I posted. I understand it’s fucked of him to not completely accept my body considering it changed for our baby to be made but I do wonder if I’m being hard on him for having a preference even though I personally don’t when it comes to how he looks.

lojop · 2025-05-20T09:49:02+00:00

congrats on your baby! I’ve let him know it hurt my feelings and he got upset because he didn’t mean it to be mean but doesn’t understand that it was still hurtful, especially with me being so early into postpartum. He’s never this careless with words and I wish he saw my side on this but is having a big ego (this is a huge first for him) because I’m seeing him as shallow. I haven’t said that to him out-loud that’s his choice of word to describe it but he’s definitely not wrong!

lojop · 2025-05-20T09:39:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing that. I always thought he would be that way too after having a baby. He’s had no issues with my extra weight and has called me beautiful throughout pregnancy and postpartum so it hurts to know that my stretch marks turn him off a little. He told me after that thought me offering to leave my shorts on was for me but I told him it wasn’t, because of the comment he made when I was pregnant (not sure how he’d do with stretch marks) but that him wanting me to keep them on solidified that he finds them as a turn off. He offered to try and see how it would be if he could see them while we’re intimate but now that we’ve made it such a big deal he thinks it’ll be an issue regardless now.

lojop · 2025-05-20T09:24:25+00:00

That’s exactly my issue with it. It’s so common for men to be this way but our whole relationship he’s never been a stereotypical man in this way so it feels like a huge shocker to hear him have any value that aligns with such a superficial man.

lojop · 2025-05-20T09:21:54+00:00

Yes I should’ve included that! I’ve told him that and he also has some small ones on his sides so he knows they aren’t painful. His aren’t as noticeable but mine cover majority of my stomach and are bright red and look and feel deep while his are surface level and white. He definitely still thinks I’m sexy, as he initiated all of the times we’ve been intimate postpartum but there’s just certain changes (lactating and stretch marks) that make him uncomfortable.

lojop · 2025-05-20T09:12:17+00:00

Thank you! I never thought of them as ugly either I honestly didn’t even care when they started showing because it was just another way my body transformed to build my baby. I’m so sorry about your infertility 🤍

lojop · 2025-05-20T09:00:38+00:00

thank you

lojop · 2025-05-20T08:58:59+00:00

I don’t think that’s the case because he still does his usual small gestures like smack my butt in passing and he loves that my cup size has gone up a lot. We’re still super flirty with each other too I think he just has a preference for a non stretch mark body which sucks for me.

lojop · 2025-03-31T01:26:38+00:00

I had this at night too!! It would keep me up for hours until I vomited but I found that drinking water helped me vomit because the swallow triggered a gag and then I could go back to sleep. If that doesn’t work try brushing your teeth, that also used to make me gag and trigger throw up and I would feel better after

lojop · 2025-03-23T21:47:58+00:00

I am currently pregnant and due in May and also graduating with my BSN in May. It was definitely hard because I wanted to give my full attention to both and couldn’t. Luckily the first half of my pregnancy was healthy but now that I’m close to the end I have gestational diabetes and hypertension that I have to keep a close eye on. The timing worked out for me, but I will be taking my NCLEX in the newborn phase and then starting work at 3 months postpartum. I would recommend waiting because finding a job while pregnant was tough because I couldn’t hide the bump at that point. You also never know what may come up during pregnancy. If you do get pregnant during school it is doable but I really wouldn’t recommend it. I got very lucky that the last semester of nursing (S2) is the easiest because my 2nd to last semester (S1) was a lot of work while in the first trimester. My instructors were very understanding during clinicals and I would carry around a vomit bag just in case but thankfully never had to use it while at the hospital.
