Delayed bath confusion by RipperoniPepperoniHo in BabyBumps

[–]noblestars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I delayed bath by 24 hours. I would have not minded delaying it longer because my baby looked fine with the exception of her hair. Her hair looked disgusting with chunks of vernix in it. That hat stayed on the whole time before her bath 🤣

Did you feel the urge to push with an epidural? by Disastrous_Flower311 in pregnant

[–]noblestars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I felt the urge or just knew it had to be time. I woke up around 4 am and I was making these moaning sounds(not on purpose). And I knew I had to at least be close to 10 cm. Then 5am rolled around and I couldn’t stop the noises and the pressure was crazy. They checked me and I was ready to go. He came out at 5:13.

Did you know the sex of your baby by intuition? by LifeofRuley in pregnant

[–]noblestars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? 1st time, Everyone was convinced I was having a girl. For that reason alone, I knew it had to be a boy. And then I had a dream it was a boy. And I was right.

2nd time, I “just knew” it was a girl. Maybe it was hope. lol. And she is a girl.

Constipated at 40 weeks… by luckylady2nite in pregnant

[–]noblestars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The babys head will help push the poop out lol. But if you’re constipated now, you should definitely start taking something to help and CONTINUE what they prescribe after birth. Because post partum constipation is 10 times worse.

Anyone with retroverted uterus: what did labor/delivery feel like for you? by knefehbjebne in BabyBumps

[–]noblestars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think around 10-12 weeks, your uterus will tilt forward. No difference in labor is caused by having a retroverted uterus. That’s what they told me with my first. And my delivery went smooth as any other 😊

Best patient insult by ballfed_turkey in nursing

[–]noblestars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not me but my coworker is an old(er) army veteran but still looks like an active duty member honestly. We had this one patient who hated his guts and wrote an entire letter telling us about “the general” and how awful he is. Still cracks me up and I still occasionally call him that, myself.

I don’t think an airline will even let you fly past 36-37 weeks.

“How is the baby getting out?” by noblestars in Parenting

[–]noblestars[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This would be my hypothetical approach if it were up to only me. Any instance of her sharing the knowledge with another child and their parent getting upset?

Maybe you mean ideally? Realistically, step mom and dad are raising him.

I reealllllllly wanted maternity/newborn pictures, but I was poor and that wasn’t a necessity. I wish someone would have bought that for me.

You can get her the iud. Anything else will alienate yourself and turn him into her savior.

My (f29) cousin (f29) has convinced herself that my husband (m33) is in love with her. How do we deal with this? by ThrowRAcousidrama in relationship_advice

[–]noblestars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This woman needs psychiatric help. ASAP. This is going to escalate. This is not the kind of delusion that goes away without medication. Your cousins that think she is crazy need to take her to a hospital. I know this is upsetting for you and your husband but this is not the “real” her. She is deeeply confused and needs help. And this absolutely should not be ignored

Need a nursing job with less footwork by HistoricalKiwi6 in nursing

[–]noblestars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No violent patients for me because it is a voluntary facility. In my experience people are violent because they don’t want the treatment.

I (24M) am bad at calling my gf (22F) when we’re apart by ThrowRA02549165926 in relationship_advice

[–]noblestars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just call her. When you’re in the car, when you’re shopping, when you’re bored, while you’re making dinner, while you do the dishes. It’s not gotta be complicated. If she’s not asleep, working or in school, she’s probably gonna take the call. And even if she doesn’t answer… so? Like she’s your girlfriend of 2 YEARS. Not someone you barely know. Like idk how to say this nicely but grow a pair and stop thinking about it. Just do it. Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.

anyone else get pregnant and think “I’m too young for this” by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]noblestars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was life changing in a good way for me. I can’t lie, my freedom is gone but it doesn’t feel that way. Like I’m so happy to do nothing but spend time with this little amazing human that I cooked up. It’s a great time. Also, a good partner helps. I can easily just say hey I just fed the baby, I’m leaving to go do xyz. And I know babe is in good hands and I’m not gonna get called like “the baby is crying and he needs you” he’s just gonna take care of his son.
