  1. Due dates????

    Yep August 13 sounds right to me too. I just add 9 months and 7 days to last period. My last period was 26th September and I'm due 3rd July. Congratulations and have fun telling the family! We will be telling extended family over Christmas too. (th...
  2. Daughter Refuses to Eat Meals

    My daughter is 22 months and we also have this problem. I never look forward to dinner time as I put the plate down in front of her and she digs her hands in, looks up at me and says "ohhh YUCK mummy" but now that she is old enough to understand th...
  3. Hi, I've just got a quick question. My daughter is 20 months old and on antibiotics three times a day, but this morning I completely forgot to give it to her. I've been in a zombie like state all day after only getting 3hrs sleep. She had first dose...
  4. Nurses that give bottles to breastfeeding babies.

    I don't think I agree with that "rooming in" policy where you dont get a choice! I had an emergency caesarian and for the first few days it was very difficult to get in and out of bed. My partner was working while I was in hospital so he could take ...
  5. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

    Well, we got through about 6 wks staying healthy and now she has another ear infection. Just wanted to get some opinions again.... the Dr has put her on antibiotics again and said to come back in 6 days because he thinks we'll have to do more than o...
  6. Mammogram versus ultrasound

    My mum had a mammogram five years ago and they gave her the all clear. She asked for an ultrasound which found the cancer and she had a mastectomy (sp?) a week later. Five years on she is perfectly healthy :) On this topic, if you have breast cancer...
  7. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

    Thanks for your help - I ended up giving it to her when she woke up during the night with some milk and toast. I'm really starting to wonder what is wrong with her though. Today she has been miserable all day, screaming for hrs at a time. My dad ca...
  8. I posted this in the paediatric forum but I dont think theres many people on there at the moment so thought I'd give it a shot here. Hi, I've just got a quick question. My daughter is 20 months old and on antibiotics three times a day, but this morni...
  9. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

    I ended up putting her to bed because she was SO grumpy I couldn't bare it any longer. I figured if last night was anything to go by we'll be up most of the night anyway so I can give it to her when she wakes up. It's amoxil...I'm actually kinda disa...
  10. Missed a dose of antibiotics - what now?

    Thanks for your help, but I really can't keep her up much longer. I've had enough trouble keeping her amused long enough to have dinner. She slept one hour today, and about 5hrs in the last 24hrs. It's driving me absolutely crazy but I guess it's ju...
  11. 13 pound infant...thank goodness it was c-section!

    My daughter was 9lb 5oz two weeks early. I was measuring around 4 wks ahead from 30wks pregnant. No diabetes...just from a family of big babies, and yes I'm already worried about the size of my future babies!!! My younger sister was 12lb 8oz and no...
  12. How many classmates are in your class?

    Ok, I'm a bit confused...I think the classes you are talking about must be different to ours. To begin with we had 350+ enrolled, I can't remember exact numbers. The lecture hall where we have our Anatomy & Physiology lecture holds just over 300 ...
  13. Thinking ahead - Jobs!

    Hi, I'm wondering if any fellow Queenslanders can give me any info about jobs after graduating...and anyone from NSW feel free too because I might just move back to Sydney..who knows! I'm doing Undergrad Nursing at the moment, but I'm wondering about...
  14. Thinking ahead - Jobs!

    Thanks for your help so far! I'm definately hoping to get a decent prac in paediatrics at some stage in this course..so I guess I'll just have to cross fingers! I'm at QUT...I guess I'll try to talk to someone there and see what info they can give me...
  15. Mothers - Is nursing school realistic for me?

    I think if you have the motivation and support it is possible. I'm 21 with an 18 month old daughter and have started full time Nursing at Uni this year. I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure what your program would be like over there. This semester I've ...
  16. Always sick

    I thought I might see if anyone here could help me since we've been to a couple of Dr's now and haven't got any decent answers. I moved interstate three months ago with my daughter who is now 18 months old. It seems ever since we've moved she's been ...
  17. Always sick

    Thanks everybody for their replies! You've all given me alot to think about... Firstly, about our house...I'm a full-time student and at the moment my partner is living interstate for work basically making me a single mum, so I can assure you it isn'...
  18. Always sick

    oh thanks :) thats a beautiful cat you got there too!! pic was 18 months ago obviously....
  19. Always sick

    I just re-read this post and thought I better clarify...I'm not expecting somebody to come and tell me what's wrong with her. I was just hoping if any of you are community child health nurses or have even just had experience with your own kids, maybe...
  20. The question of Adoption

    Hi, I was just interested in getting some of your opinions on this issue. I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant. When I went to book in at my hospital around 11 wks they did an initial "booking-in" interview. One of the questions they asked me was...
  21. The question of Adoption

    Your right...I'm not married. But my "partner" did come to every appointment and was at the hospital every morning before working and every evening after work when I had her, so they knew i wasn't alone...and we'd had several appointments with the nu...
  22. The question of Adoption

    I didn't personally get insulted by it, but I can imagine some people would. Not necessarily the first time, but asking if somebody wants to keep their baby just because they're upset I think is going a bit far. I would personally never do it, there ...
  23. Assessment frameworks?!?

    I'm desperately hoping somebody can help me. I'm doing 1st year nursing and this is the only thing I'm really struggling with. We keep get these case scenarios and have to choose "the most appropriate framework" for assessment, and I'm completely con...
  24. Student Moms of young children

    I too am a student mum. My daughter is 18 months old and I started Nursing full-time in March. I was lucky with my timetable - I only have to go to Uni three days, so she is in daycare two days and my mum looks after her the other day. It's hard work...
