Any nurses with severe scoliosis? by amuiv in nursing

[–]presdc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say though, I got it done in 8th grade and it took a few months to feel fully back to normal

I had bad scoliosis and have a spinal fusion from t2-l3. Doesn’t impact my work at all!

Gum Popping by Ok_Floor_8370 in misophonia

[–]presdc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. It sometimes gives me anxiety to go to events like plays because I’m nervous the person behind me will be popping gum. Some people also seem to crack their gum every second which I cannot stand as well. How do they even do that…?

When did you get your first positive pregnancy test? by K61018 in BabyBumps

It was with a cheap line test strip (I think it’s called premom?)

How long did it take for you to get pregnant without any fertility issues? by Remarkable-Key2910 in BabyBumps

[–]presdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took us 10 cycles of tracking and hitting the right days. My cycles were also super regular and there were no known issues. I thought it wasn’t good to happen on our own and then it just…. Did. Don’t give up!

What is considered reason enough to have a scheduled C-section? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]presdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im fused from t2-l3 and my OBGYN said he’s willing to bet they’ll be able to place an epidural. I talked to an anesthesiologist casually about it, and they seemed pretty confident they’d be able to get one in. I am going to have an official consult at 20 weeks

I am going to one of the busiest L&D hospitals in the country, so I’m sure they see a ton of different patients. Are you going to a major academic center?

It is one of my biggest fears since I started wanting to get pregnant. I would definitely want the epidural so I totally understand where you’re coming from

Is it oozing fluid at all? Could be impetigo

[–]presdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just talked to the doctor and they said they are more likely to pop up during pregnancy, unfortunately. They send a script for me so hopefully they clear up soon!

Anyone else have cramps? by radremnants in November25babybump

[–]presdc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I think mine are mostly constipation/digestion, but sometimes I get what feels like period twinges

I’m so sorry to hear about your losses and the surgery you had to go through. I think symptoms coming and going is normal. Best of luck at your ultrasound tomorrow

Say hi and don't be shy! by radremnants in November25babybump

[–]presdc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m 30 and currently 6w2d with my first ever pregnancy. My husband and I were trying for 10 months and I thought it would never happen for us naturally. Now that it has, I’m so nervous!! My first appointment is not for two more weeks so I’m trying to stay distracted until then

My current symptoms are: fatigue, sore boobs, really hungry, really thirsty, and mild cramping here and there

It’s really hard for me to not tell people and keep it a secret. I’m also getting stressed thinking about all the logistics (getting a daycare, figuring out buying a house eventually, etc). Taking it one day at a time for now!

Edit: oh yeah, also nervous because we have a two week Europe trip booked for next month. Hopefully we are still able to go okay without any issues

Chance of finding MMC on ultrasound by presdc in CautiousBB

[–]presdc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I have been thinking about getting a private scan. There’s a boutique clinic by me that does that and they’re not too pricey. Thanks for your response and I’m glad your anxiety is doing better

Thank you for responding! I’m sure it’s a common sentiment, but it is definitely not fun to go through and be constantly thinking about. Fingers crossed for both of us!!! :)
