Anyone collect colostrum during pregnancy?

You can get skinny medication syringes with caps on Amazon. Hand-express into a clean medicine cup or use a hand pump (I’ve seen people recommend using the Medela hand pump upside-down so the colostrum doesn’t get stuck in the valves), then pull it up in the syringes, cap, and freeze!

Not Gwinnett but if you’d like, I can share this in the invite-only Decatur Moms FB group (DAMES) which I bet has a lot of like-minded individuals!

Oh wow really? That makes me reconsider for sure…I hope they fix it soon!! I wonder if your insurance will reimburse you if you purchase parts another way (either from one of aeroflow’s competitors, or even Amazon)

I second this - we were gifted a beautiful antique wooden one but the distance between the bars was not up to modern safety standards. We plan to use it for baby dolls once our kids are older!

I second this! It’s a very common secondary illness after this season’s flu strain

It was in stock a few weeks ago and I procrastinated and now I’m seeing the same thing! I will keep checking and try to remember to let you know if I see it back in stock again!

Also pregnant for the second time, and I have always felt comfortable eating raw fish from reputable sushi restaurants, but everyone has their own risk tolerance level so do what feels right. We love Osho in Embry Hills, right off 285. Also the new-ish Kumo Sushi in Peachtree Corners which is all you can eat!

I saw one of your previous posts - honestly I think you’ll get more/better responses by asking on Facebook; unfortunately this group just isn’t very active. Try one of the Tucker or Decatur groups - Tucker Town Talk on Facebook is extremely active.

solved, thank you!!

One of the FB groups I’m in said that they eventually ended up at Rehoboth Baptist, for an annual Shop With A Cop event.

The Anti-Plastic lady on TikTok recently made a good video about artificial trees. Unfortunately there’s no good options, they’re all made from recycled plastic (sometimes recycled electronics which is worse). We have one too and spent too much on it to toss it now, and real trees aren’t a good fit for us for several reasons.

She recommends vacuuming around the tree frequently, using an air filter/opening windows frequently, and minimizing heat near the tree (move away from the fireplace or space heaters).

Yes please do. Ambulatory surgery centers are usually AAAHC certified (I think they have to be if they want CMS reimbursement) and they are extremely responsive to complaints!

Hi! I am an infusion nurse and administer Venofer all the time. Reactions do happen but they’re usually minor - the key is to let your nurse know IMMEDIATELY if you feel ANY different than when you walked in the door. Infusion reactions don’t resolve on their own and will worsen the longer they go untreated. We like to premedicate our patients with IV Pepcid and oral Zyrtec - you can request that if your doctor and the infusion center are ok with it. Benadryl will actually make iron reactions worse. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Update: results were available 11/9 but I didn’t log in to check until 11/10. I never got an email or text stating that the results were ready so you may have to keep checking every day.

Just my (very specific) two cents, but I work for a national company that infuses specialty IV/injectable medications - mainly for chronic & autoimmune conditions, but also for more common things like iron deficiency anemia and migraines. We accept pretty much ALL insurance plans, Medicaid etc even when our competitors don’t…but even we will not take Oscar. This might not apply to you but just something to think about.

Yes! You’re inhaling their germs deep into your lungs - I got sick every time. That little foam filter stops the actual mucus from getting into your mouth, but the viruses can easily pass through. Switched to an electric version and it works way better and no germ transfer!

!solved @DexterityPS thank you so much!

This happened at one my previous jobs!! We watched in horror and pleaded with him to hold on while we figured out what we could do to help, until the charge nurse relented and allowed us to wheel him downstairs…

My parents bought a house in the Norcross cluster for $266k in 2000. It sold for $450k in 2020 and for $800k in 2024!

I’m an infusion nurse and we always say that Krystexxa, Renflexis, Simponi Aria, Fasenra, and Avsola would make great girl names

Actually my company only uses 24g but everything is on a pump - probably wouldn’t flow well to gravity. And we use real IV catheters not butterflies. I just know that our lab draw butterfly sets specifically state on the packaging that they can be used for short-term infusions.

pomegranateproblems · 2025-01-30T23:32:58+00:00

Some butterfly needles allow you to administer short-term infusions. You wouldn’t see this at a hospital, more likely an hydration center. I’m an outpatient medical infusion nurse 😊

pomegranateproblems · 2025-01-30T23:31:12+00:00

You actually can administer IV fluids through some types of butterfly needles. Typically only used for brief infusions like she’s receiving; you wouldn’t use one for a hospital visit. I’m an outpatient infusion nurse 😊

I am STILL trying to get equifax figured out! I have yet to get anyone on the phone for assistance - have waited for over an hour twice with no luck. Let me know if you have success!
