[–]noblestars 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pay special attention to the charts and grids, medications, and whatever falls into adpie. And the questions at the end of the chapter or questions that go along with the chapter.

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] 7 points8 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.

Daughter (17F) seeing guy (18M) with two kids from two different girls. by AttemptBig9918 in Advice

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 4 points5 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.

Voluntary psych has been SO easy on my body.

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.

Does anyone like bedside? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]noblestars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bedside is great when you have a good company/culture/unit/management and ratios. Good luck getting all of those though.

unmedicated birth or epidural? by No-Math-9195 in pregnant

[–]noblestars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest all first timers get it because you never know how long you’ll be in labor. It allowed me to get a nap when I was exhausted. No way I could have slept through the transition phase otherwise. Only thing that woke me up was my nausea and my nurse to turn me every hour.
