Postpartum Spanish Terms (Need Assistance please)

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

Hi there,

Any PP nurses who know medical spanish or who are spanish-speaking, would you be able to help me out here? Or direct me to somewhere on the web...

Just started out in a PP unit and I'd like to be able to get some better Spanish skills on board. Thanks.

For example, how would you say (in simple yet understandable terms) things like:

-are you breastfeeding or formula feeding?

-have you breastfed the baby recently (within the last two hours)?

-any dirty diapers? stool or urine?

-anything else you might want to throw in

-have you urinated? Have you had a bowel movement?

-please call me when you want to go to the BR so I can assist you.

-I'm going to palpate your uterus.

-I'm massaging your uterus.

-have you had more bleeding?

-what is your pain scale 1-10 with 10 being the worst pain?

Just wanted some input. Thanks so much!

I can't remember if I said thank you already but all the spanish phrases thrown in by everyone have been very helpful. Muchas gracias!
