   I went to school with a boy who was one of 19 kids (all singletons) of a farming couple. He was one of the younger ones. Years later, when I worked in the local Family Planning clinic, several of the young women who were clients were the grandchild...

   I just wanted to thank all that have responded to this post--I just finished my 1st two (12hr) shifts of orientation for mom/baby and had come home with my head spinning! This thread has helped me relax a little and remember that even the most exper...

   momtotwinglesx5 replied to kellye's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Let's see...I had healthy, full-term (38.5 wks) twins at age 35, a healthy full-term baby at age 38, and another healthy, full-term baby at age 40. All normal, uneventful vaginal deliveries. So you can do it! The only thing I will say is, the olde...

   momtotwinglesx5 replied to juliey's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I worked as an RN and then NP in a Family Planning clinic for 13 years and had many, many clients with pap results like yours. Pap smears are merely screening tools, and often, the reality is NOT as bad as the pap report would suggest, however it's ...

   momtotwinglesx5 replied to momtotwinglesx5's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hmmm, that's kind of what I was afraid of. I wouldn't mind working post-partum at all, but I don't think they have separate post-partum rooms. I'm not exactly sure how the staffing is set up in these 2 hospitals, but I know they are all LDRP rooms. ...
