  1. car seat overload--HELP!

    Yes, I look at the BabyCenter board daily, even if I don't post that much(ususally someone else has said exactly what I was going to say.) My screenname on BBC is MysonBobby. I got most of the information for my posts from the board, with the links a...
  2. car seat overload--HELP!

    Either side is equally safe as far as safety is concerned. When Bobby was first born my parents had installed it behind the driver's seat thinking it would be easier for me to get him in and out so I wouldn't have to go to the other side of the car b...
  3. car seat overload--HELP!

    Yeah, I understand the not fitting in the car thing. I drive a 4 door Saturn SL-2 and even getting Bobby's Evenflo infant seat with the handle down to fit was a nightmare. The main thing with the Graco either the snugride or the safe seat(and I think...
  4. car seat overload--HELP!

    It actually says in all infant seat manuals NOT to ever put the seat on top of a shopping cart because it is dangerous if the seat were to fall or the cart to tip, which is very easy due to the cart now being top heavy due to the infant seat being th...

  6. Stadol Screamers

    I was given Stadol because they didn't want to give me an epidural yet. It was early in labor(about 5 hours before I had my son) so my son had no bad effects from it but still, never again. My husband said I was cussing like a sailor and I know I had...
  7. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    With a pt who doesn't have dementia you can and do have to bring them back to reality when they get off track. About 9 years ago my boyfriend at the time and I were living in Vegas and boyfriend's mom's ex-husband's stepfather(George) who was in his ...
  8. What's the weirdest baby name?

    Ryker. My cousin actually named his son this. Everytime I see Ryker I want to call him 'Numer One.' My ex-husband(a huge Star Trek fan and yes I know the spelling is different) laughed himself silly when I told him what my cousin was going to name hi...
  9. Docs making stupid decisions

    I was induced at 39 weeks for PIH. My doctor wanted to induce me at 38 weeks but luckily the way things worked out I was induced at exactly 39 weeks. When I went in the night before to have my cervix ripened they were super busy, I think I spent an h...
  10. How safe are IUD's?

    I had my Mirena inserted Dec 02 and was not on my period so they had to open my cervix slightly to insert it. Yeah, it hurt but felt nothing like labor pains. I had had my son in Sept that year so labor pains were still fresh in my mind. It was great...
  11. Largest baby

    I have a friend whose last child was 14 lbs at birth. It was a natural childbirth, no meds and vaginal. Her child is now around my age(27) and was born in a military hospital and she says she thinks that is why he was born vaginally instead of via c/...
  12. Are you afraid to go to the ER?

    I ended up having to go last week for severe nausea, diarrhea, mid-ab pain(8/10 a lot worse than early-mid labor pains.) Vommitting, oh I wish I could have vommitted I think it would have made me feel better. Sadly, I'm a retcher and a heaver and whe...
  13. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    If you have a 'pimple' in your perineal area that starts growing, weeping, and gets really hot and painful you should prolly go to the dr and get it checked out since chances are it's staph. LOM didn't and ended up losing his penis and testes and end...
  14. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    This is a case of the truth being stranger than fiction. He wanted a divorce and got a girlfriend the next day(I have a feeling she had been on the side for a while) after he told me he wanted out. I really could have cared less that he had a girlfr...
  15. can gallstones return?

    I had mine out at 25 and I went in at 6 AM to get everything done and was out before noon. I spent several days on the couch watching TV. I will say if you watch TV do not watch anything that will make you laugh, that really hurts. I turned on a Geor...
