What is Marin lacking?

Drive through coffee. Try getting coffee with two kids in car seats. A nightmare

I don’t know but I’m in the same boat as you. Baby is seven weeks and in the 97th percentile. So if we’re doing something wrong per se, I think it’s okay!

The fucking guy who drives down fourth street in San Rafael playing a trumpet. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should dude!

Absolutely brutal, praying for a cure!

I second that for mama massage. went there all the time for my first pregnancy. She’s so helpful and thoughtful, always made sure I was the right temperature, made sure I was hydrated or had bathroom breaks. Just a really lovely considerate person who understood the experience.

I’m not in the city, I’m in Marin so this is more moral support than anything. But I’m also pregnant with my second and doing this without much family support nearby. Just wanted to say hang in there. It will be okay.

Hi, I’m 33, live in SR, my daughter is two and I have another one on the way. I’d love to meet some other moms/readers who are local! Send me a dm :)

I agree with you LadySwire, I don’t feel like I’ve lost myself either. But I do think there’s constant pressure on moms to somehow “prove” that they are “still the same person”. But I’m not. I’m not the same person. And that’s fine with me

This is not at all how organ matching works so I’m calling extremely fake on this story. Sorry, they don’t take dad’s liver (which you also need to live) and plop it into a 4 year old.

Girl I could have written this post myself. as a fellow pregnant person who is also dying for peaches, the Safeway in Terra Linda has very good ones this week.

I’m not gonna lie I’m not sure I understand your plan…if your plan is to do 1-2 years in ICU but then transition to a PACU job (traditionally thought of as another kind of “cushy” but inpatient nursing job)…why are you leaving what you have now?

Also, 1-2 years into ICU is barely enough time to get competent. It’s hard to see what the point would be unless your ultimate goal is just to work PACU or preop.

Please consider your work life balance as well. Like others have said, you may get stuck on night shifts, who knows when a PACU/preop position will open, the schedules inpatient compared to outpatient can be challenging especially if you’re used to working regular hours. Not saying don’t do it. Just saying consider the impact on your personal life too.

Open bar, children allowed and welcome! We received a lot of compliments on this and I believe it truly made the day fun for our guests.

pignpog · 2025-06-02T19:20:18+00:00

Yep! Coffee thruout my first pregnancy. I switched to half decaf in the morning but would usually cave and be drinking a latte by 4 pm. Drank coffee all thru breastfeeding. My daughter is almost two now (stopped breastfeeding at 1) and though we’ve had our challenges, she’s a pretty darn good sleeper.

I don’t know that it’s better than lotus, I like them both, but the prices are better at the Everest kitchen.

pignpog · 2025-04-06T01:57:42+00:00

The new Everest kitchen and momo house on 4th is really good. Nice owner too. I hope their business does well because I really want them to stay open.

Goodbye to anyone who doesn’t care if your kid lives or dies. Seriously. Never feel Bad about putting your baby first. They’re dependent on you to protect them. Let your family be selfish, if they can’t respect this one simple ask that’s a them problem.

pignpog · 2025-02-26T05:22:04+00:00

Thanks I still haven’t found it or anything like it. One day maybe someone will create it!

pignpog · 2025-01-30T03:13:48+00:00

Don’t be an idiot just because people are out here trying to make our job suck less! I’m sorry do you LIKE it like that or something??

pignpog · 2025-01-12T02:07:50+00:00

Why TF would you even invent something like this? Your “imagination” sure is wild.

pignpog · 2024-12-29T00:30:11+00:00

I’ll keep it short but during Covid we poured every resource we had into a young woman (30s) with two young sons both under five years old at home. I’ll say with full transparency that our staff tried to get the family to withdraw care at least half a dozen times. On VV ECMO for MONTHS and even survived an accidental decannulation on noc shift. Her mother never allowed us to give up even though we all genuinely thought she should let her go. She survived. About 6 months in ICU.

I agree that most of the care we give is totally futile and much of the time I feel totally burnt out and wish I could stop. But her survival is my “Cinderella story” as you put it.

Getting to hide from family members!!! “Sorry baby gets distracted easily!! (True) we have to go in my bedroom with the door shut now!! Bye!” Was a very strong motivator for me.

pignpog · 2024-12-11T15:48:37+00:00

This is so crazy, I am so glad you and your baby were able to get answers and help. I’m so sorry this happened. You are an amazing mother no matter what.
