1. Deadly Epidural

   Kaseyrn2b replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in Ob/Gyn

   3) Nothing in life is without risk. Getting pregnant entails risk. Avoiding pregnancy entails risk. Driving a car and walking across the street entail risk. Like it or not, every medical procedure has risks, and there are NEVER guarantees as to o...

2. How about a thread for baby names you liked?

   Kaseyrn2b replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   My dd is Sydney, my ds is Jack and my soon to be dd will be named Natalie :) I also like Katharine, Sam, Caroline, Max and Charlie. Jen

3. drug testing AP and IP

   Kaseyrn2b replied to cnmmsn's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I agree. How 'bout the married woman whose spouse cheats on her? Or the woman whose had an STD since high school? No correlation to risky behavior there. I am assuming ALL pts, not just OB get drug tested, if not then this too is very discriminatory....

4. C- section/ Opinion question...

   Kaseyrn2b replied to Kaseyrn2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks again for the advice. Actually, I saw my OB thurs and he said even if my placenta doesn't move at all, its not dangerous enough to warrant scheduling a c/s. He said we'll let you go into labor and only do a c/s if you start bleeding. Sounds fa...

5. C- section/ Opinion question...

   Kaseyrn2b replied to Kaseyrn2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

   U/s tech said it wasn't previa, just low-lying. I don't completely understand the difference, and I tend not to trust what I read online ( not here, just in general) but, I have my OB app't Thursday, so I'm sure to be picking his brain then :) My OBs...

6. When circ's go bad...

   Kaseyrn2b replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hmmm very interesting thread. I guess there's no easy answer here. My ds had it done, 3yrs ago now. I was very reluctant, but in the end DH 'won' that argument. DS had anesthesia and pain relief afterwards. I can honestly say if it weren't for the fa...

7. C- section/ Opinion question...

   Kaseyrn2b replied to Kaseyrn2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Visualization doesn't sound weird at all My DH will be there regardless, but if I know I will need a c/s, the grandmothers have already said they'd come before hand to watch my other 2. I am hoping it 'moves' I think maybe they should have waited a ...

8. C- section/ Opinion question...

   Kaseyrn2b posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hope you won't mind me asking this, complete opinion Q. If I end up needing a c-section ( I am 28 weeks, placenta as of today is still low-lying) which I know my drs aren't sure of yet, what would you recommend bringing to the hosp/ having after deli...

9. Doula Thoughts on L&D (long)

   Kaseyrn2b replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hmmm, this is a very intersting disscussion. My thoughts as a mere 2x pt are as follows; I think there are perhaps some uneccessary procedures pushed on pts, I also think unfortunately a lot of anti MD and RN vibes are out there. On my expecting boa...

10. Don't Rough My Newborn Up!!!!!!!

    Kaseyrn2b replied to capribry's topic in Ob/Gyn

    YES! thank you thank you!!! I have heard RAVES about these from my NICU RN friends. I hope these work w/ her highness We'll see in July!

11. Don't Rough My Newborn Up!!!!!!!

    Kaseyrn2b replied to capribry's topic in Ob/Gyn

    THis is a little OT, but where CAN just a regular mom like myself find those magic pacifiers? I am absolutely going to try the swaddling thing too. I tried w/ my 2nd, a very coliky ds, but the blankets I had always seemed to be too small ( he was 9 l...

12. How many pregnancies are too many?

    Kaseyrn2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right now, I'm thinkin three is enough...but that's just b/c I sit here 26 weeks pg w/ my third w/ an aching back, sore hips and an in the way belly:lol2: Seriously, I agree that what ever you can mentally/financially take care of is fine. I also hav...

13. bottle vs breast feeding

    Kaseyrn2b replied to evansj2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think babies play a big role too. My first, my dd, was so easy to nurse, I thought people were nuts for having all those 'problems'. Enter child #2, my DS. He was just harder, i think he never really did latch on right, even though I bf'ed him for...

14. What do patients say that irks you?

    Kaseyrn2b replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Superfly, I totally get this, which is why I said, in my pp I know they are just doing what is necessary! I never thought for one minute it was just to annoy me I am just saying, its silly of any pts to think they'll sleep much in the hospital, just...

15. What do patients say that irks you?

    Kaseyrn2b replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Mom get Sleep? In a L/D unit? Are you kidding? it wasn't my babies who kept me up in the hospital, it was the nurses ( I know, I know, its their job, not saying they were doing anything wrong, don't flame me) ! I had a nurse coming in every 2 hrs to...
