    alphafe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Everyone, This is a personal post and I appreciate any and all responses. It's been hard for me to face this for years. Right after my dd was delivered via C-sec (15 years ago) I complained of...

  3. Young, Unfit, Drug Addicted, etc. Mothers

    alphafe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess that about says it all! As a future nurse -- possibly L&D -- I know I'm going to have to work very hard to deal with/support women who really shouldn't be having babies. Please share your...

  4. Record for most babies

    alphafe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    ...I mean by one mother! How many of you have worked in L/D long enough to have frequent fliers and how many babies have they had?! Same dad, different dads? Tell you stories! I'm also fascinated...

  5. Cape, Anyone?

    alphafe posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'm so lucky to be living on the Cape for a year. Long story, but it's great to be here for the off season. I'm a mid-life career changer who feels an inexplicable (kind of) call to...

  6. CP twin, one normal...?

    alphafe posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi everyone, My 15 year old daughter just got her first job as a personal care assistant for a 5 y/o girl. This is what I know: Child is developmentally 9 mos -- wears diapers, crawls, has feeding...

  8. CP twin, one normal...?

    alphafe replied to alphafe's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks everyone, for helping me understand this. Can this be evident at birth - obviously if there is great discrepancy in weight or birth trauma there would be but some of my online reading said...

  11. nuchal translucency thickness

    alphafe replied to Chevelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This concerns false positives and a strange experience I had when pregnant. I was a great, compliant healthy patient. When it came time for the AFP test I had this **gut** feeling that I would get a...

  12. Old Ladies Having Babies

    alphafe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, we'll just ignore my earlier thread about my missed period last week while on the pill and pretend I'm writing with an interest in the 50-something women in the news recently. The 57 yo who had...

    alphafe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Did anyone happen to catch The Learning Channel's documentary about the Duggar family of Arkansas? It ended with Ms. Duggar birthing their 15th

  14. Labor, birth and spectators

    alphafe replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is a really interesting thread. I've been struggling about whether to post my observation here because it's so hard to know the whole story. I come to this board with a background in family...

    alphafe replied to alphafe's topic in Pediatric

    ooh, I'm not a nurse yet, but I'm trying to figure out what you are getting at! No dd (dear daughter) doesn't have any other symptoms. She has improved dramatcially by using orthotics. The...

  17. APRN (psychiatry) versus MSW: pros and cons

    alphafe replied to elijah's topic in Psychiatric

    Hi Elijah, I took the MFT route and I would do things differently knowing what I know now. I have not been in practice for over a decade, and what has changed the most since I left is the integration...

  20. Missed Period On Pill

    alphafe replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I presume I'm perimenopausal and one of my concerns about going on the pill was "how will I know where I am" in perio-menopause. Does the pill interfere with the beginning of missed, light periods,...

  21. TLC Special Duggar Family

    alphafe replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got a very strong feeling that there's a *very* disturbing agenda at play here. Cults and this family have a lot in common: confirmity (dress), rigid routines, punishments for deviating or...

  23. SHAVING & WAXING

    alphafe replied to barkley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Now I know I'm old. But I go to day spas and stuff. So, who does this waxing? Estheticians? Derms? Does it hurt? Isn't this really high maintenance. I hate armpit and leg hair too and "the...

    "...It's really become the 'style" with the generation that revels in their sexuality and explores it to the fullest without shame..." Wait a minute! That was MY

  25. SHAVING & WAXING

    alphafe replied to barkley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, but the idea of shaving pubic hair COMPLETELY off is essentially saying "I'm a child..." Pretty sick when you think about
