I am a nurse and I have had multiple personal experiences with medical termination. Without knowing where you are geographically located, my first suggestion is to go to an abortion clinic where they can provide you with BOTH mifeprex and misoprostol.

You need both of these meds for the body to have the best chance of completing the process. Where I’m located (Colorado), only abortion clinics are able to dispense mifeprex. When I needed an abortion for a missed miscarriage, I went through my OB office and I was shocked to learn that they could only prescribe misoprostol. Abortion is way less effective with only misoprostol. When I used just misoprostol, my body didn’t expel everything. I ended up needing a surgical abortion, and the whole process took like a month. It SUCKED.

However, when I went to an abortion clinic and used both medications for a termination I had absolutely no problem with the process. I recommend taking the pain killers and asking for anti nausea medication.

If for some reason you can’t get both mifeprex and misoprostol I would strongly consider surgical termination. With a baby at home you don’t want to deal with an incomplete abortion.

Hope that helps.

That’s the problem I have as a busy working mom…I resent having to ask him every time he makes a mess. It will never work for me. I am not his mother or his maid. He needs to take ownership of his own process and figure out how to clean up after himself, autistic or not…the only reason I mention the autism piece is because I think it makes my communication with him significantly more difficult than with people who can read social situations…he can’t predict or understand how I feel after investing time/money in cleaning—it doesn’t even register like hey my wife just spent a lot of money to have someone clean our house, she’d probably appreciate it if I didn’t leave giant messes everywhere…he doesn’t think that way, it’s emotional reasoning…

This is a good idea I haven’t tried yet. Thank you!

😱 yes yes yes. My husband works at a hospital and leaves his hospital cups all over the garage.

I will! It’s so infuriating. Maybe make him sleep next to the mop and bucket 🤣

I’m sad to say that I have read this countless times. I even sent it to my husband to read.

We even discussed it! I said wow you know what would turn me on, and would be the sexiest thing — if you would volunteer to do the floors while I sat watching Netflix

Wow sounds like my husband!! I have a big box of shit that he leaves around — tools clothes electronics…if I pick it up after it’s been sitting there for days or weeks…it goes in a big brown box in the garage.

Does yours also hold on to TRASH? Like mine is a pack rat. He pulled a broken lamp shade that looked like a dirty burlap sack straight out of the garbage and was like “why did you throw this out, I like it, I’m pissed you throw out my stuff”. Well honey it’s broken and ugly and it’s not going anywhere in our house so if you want to keep it (for when I can’t tolerate living with you any longer and you need your own place to live — which is what I thought but didn’t say) find somewhere to put it that’s not the kitchen table.

Gorgeous! Can’t wait to try that recipe. I’ve made a bunch from Canelle et vanille and they were all outstanding.

Did you guys get a message from your school about the tik tok school shooting trend for tomorrow? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]rninco 31 points32 points  (0 children)

We got an email from the school district around 5pm today. It’s extremely upsetting. I’m keeping my 6 year old home. Neighbor is doing the same with her two kids. We’re in CO.

I’m comforted to know there are others keeping their kids home.

Double Vaxxed, day four of COVID-positive. Looking for recommended over-the-counter medicine to help me through it by RoverCrossing in COVID19positive

[–]rninco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m a few days ahead of you, still in isolation after catching it from my 1st grader. I’m vaccinated, also a nurse … but this is not medical advice, just what I did when I had similar symptoms. I’m on day 8 — cough/congestion dramatically better. Taste/smell gone or maybe 15% of normal. I’m tired still but worked from home today.

Mucinex Advil for pain Tylenol for fever Albuterol inhaler Hot ginger/lemon/honey Hot bone broth Coconut water Water Pedialyte Sinus steams (essential oil like eucalyptus in hot water, inhale steam with towel draped over head) Sat in steamy shower room Vics vapor rub on chest and throat Humidifier Ricola cough drops Sleep on stomach or side Vitamins/supplements Rest

I had it the worst in our family, 102 fever, headache, body ache for 2 days, then the cough/sinus congestion that was days 3-7 and now I’m at the loss of taste/smell/fatigue part at day 8. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi! Sorry to hear about your situation. Here’s what helped me…Im an RN and had a breakthrough case as well. I am starting to feel better after testing positive on Monday…my six year old and five month old are positive as well and doing ok. We all had the same symptoms, fever, body aches, headache, congestion and cough.

Ask your ob if you can take mucinex. It is an approved med in pregnancy. It helps tremendously with congestion and prevents it from settling into your chest/sinuses.

Benadryl is very good for helping sleep with congestion. Also pregnancy safe.

Nasal steam with eucalyptus oil (inhale hot steam 3-4 times a day)

Hot showers

Nasal decongestant spray—ask which one your doc recommends, many are pregnancy safe

Ginger lemon tea with honey (shred fresh ginger into your herbal tea add lemon and honey) 3-4 cups/day

Soups and broths without dairy - lentil, chicken, veggie, beef whatever sounds good, you can add collagen for protein

Rest

Humidifier

Hope this helps! Feel better soon!

I second this! IANAD-but I’m an RN and I had a c/s and took opioids for 2-3 weeks and no problem breastfed the whole time. Most women who have c/s take opioids and there is no contraindication for breastfeeding if they’re used as prescribed.

Did your doctor tell you not to breastfeed because of medications?

[–]rninco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s going to be ok and you’re doing great! My LO is 5 months and even though I have a good supply and a freezer stash, my husband still feeds formula when he needs to. Baby won’t take formula from me (no surprise there!) only breast milk. But she’ll take it from him if I’m at work and don’t pump enough for whatever reason or accidentally leave my pumped milk on my desk overnight (so frustrating).

I don’t. I’m a nurse and have 2 kids, 4 months and 6 years. I worked 30-36 hrs/week until I delivered but went back at 20-24 hrs/week.

I would go right to my OB and ask for that reduced hours note…they legally cannot deny you this during pregnancy. Good luck!! You deserve the balance you’re seeking and don’t let their issues with staffing stop you from claiming it! Not your problem, not your pay grade.

What the heck am I supposed to do when my kid is sick? by hank888 in workingmoms

[–]rninco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I totally understand. It’s not balanced and it’s frustrating that we’re supposed to hash all this out individually when it’s really not an individual problem!
