  1. How do you deal with anti-OB people?

    ayndim replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

    Asking about pain is one thing. But when a mom has said "Don't offer me pain meds, I will ask" then no one should be asking if the pt wants pain meds every hour. I am not talking about discussing...

  2. How do you deal with anti-OB people?

    ayndim replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

    By trying to force women to see it "your" way you are using the same tactics as those you describe as nature nazis. It is possible to have a birth without pain meds (if a woman so chooses) or other...

  3. Co-sleeping?

    ayndim replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    thanks for the great

  4. Nurse presses charges against ER pt and wins

    ayndim replied to Nurse Ratched's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Good for her.:yelclap:

  5. Co-sleeping?

    ayndim replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What people against co-sleeping don't realize is that it is very hard to roll over on a baby when you and your spouse are teetering on opposite edges of a KING size bed because said baby is stretched...

  6. Public Breastfeeding

    ayndim replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is the way Q's original post was. I had to go back and change my quote to take your name out of

  7. Public Breastfeeding

    ayndim replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Where is the mouth agape smile. So it is okay for bf moms who have great breasts to do so in public? But if your breasts are sagging and ugly, you need to nurse in private. Guess what!!! If you...

  8. Public Breastfeeding

    ayndim replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Then only function, imho, would be if birth was imminent (sp?). Can't think of another reason to do so in the mall. Otherwise you would get

  9. Public Breastfeeding

    ayndim replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    If I was about to give birth in the mall I would do it in a heartbeat. Baby's gotta come out somehow. Luckily, most of us don't give birth in the mall. I did prefer my nice quiet room with my...

  10. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    ayndim replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the next time a dr refers to a ma as a nurse, a good reply would be "I went to this other doctor once for ?? and she said the samething. Well actually it was a NP/PA but doctor, np, pa there...

  11. Public Breastfeeding

    ayndim replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    All of this fear of a bare breast has me wondering what on earth is wrong with us (here in the US). Why the big hang up, it is after all a body part and men show their breasts at the beach and pool...

  12. Should nurses return to wearing uniforms?

    ayndim replied to hellerd2003's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea of a large patch that says "RN". Great idea! Or even a seperate badge that says "RN" in large letters, not just under the person's

  13. Public Breastfeeding

    ayndim replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I actually had someone walk up to my baby to admire them and said "sorry" when they realized I was nursing. Guess I was pretty discreet if you couldn't even tell I was b/f until you got 6 inches from...

  14. "Nurse Quacktitioner."

    ayndim replied to URO-RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    At first I was offended. Then I thought that I, as an adult, was reading too much into it. It is simply a nurse practioner that is a duck who quacks. How many kids, who would want to play with it,...

  15. Public Breastfeeding

    ayndim replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I had only one problem in the 6+ years that I nursed three children. There was little to see but the lady was offended anyway. I find that in most of the stories of someone being offended it is a...

  16. Public Breastfeeding

    ayndim replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, even w/o a cover there is very little to see. I don't want strangers to see my breast anymore than they want to see them. Second, if you don't want to see someone b/f then I suggest...

  17. Co-sleeping?

    ayndim replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With our first, the teletubbies were our romantic song.

  18. sister baby was just diagnosed with downs

    ayndim replied to gthurma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While pursuing a special education certification, I had the joy of working with several children who have Down's Syndrome. After the behavior and temper tantrums of many of the other special needs...

  19. When circ's go bad...

    ayndim replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think we all have our opinions. I personally think a circed member is disgusting. Always staring at you. :rotfl: But my husband is circed and I love him anyway. And our sex life is okay. Of...

  20. Caesarians and evolution

    ayndim replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This seems to make sense -- except that true CPD is actually very rare. Drs just don't seem to want to help by having mom change positions. Everyone knows that lying flat (or nearly flat) on your...

  21. Co-sleeping?

    ayndim replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It probably does affect snuggle time with my husband but I am a mom first and a wife second. My husband and I will never put our own needs before that of our children. Besides it won't last forever....

  22. Relocating to idaho falls area

    ayndim replied to grasshopper1972's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I did see the LPN program but didn't realize they were going to be offering an RN program soon. I have all of the prereqs done, except A&P II, for the college here. I...

  23. When circ's go bad...

    ayndim replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The main reason many adults are circed is because U.S. doctors don't know of alternative treatments. If there is a problem here the urologist seems to be a little cut happy. In other countries,...

  24. Relocating to idaho falls area

    ayndim replied to grasshopper1972's topic in General Nursing

    We are living near Phoenix (Surprise) and have put our house on the market. We are looking to move to Idaho Falls. It seems like it is an undiscovered gem with reasonable house prices, good schools...

  25. Co-sleeping?

    ayndim replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am all for natural weaning. I have no idea how long I will nurse for. My milk dried up with my daughter just past two, my son self-weaned earlier than that. And unfortunately I see my baby boy...
