  1. My first Birth, what should I bring

    CEG replied to sunnym's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe a little bottle of lotion or massage oil would be nice. A good back rub, foot rub, or pressure on the lower back or hips always feels great. Also maybe some chapstick. Ad I agree, CD and...

  2. Help- Need a little information

    CEG replied to sunnym's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think ultrasound is considered to be pretty unreliable in estimating weight- about 25% variation on either side at term is the common margin of error is what I have read. As far as estimating weight...

  3. VRE and MRSA screening

    CEG replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just curious what the benefit of placing moms on isolation is in this regard. Is it to solely protect the other moms/babes from MRSA? And why is this not an issue with term moms? It just seems...

  4. Deadly Epidural

    CEG replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think the saddest part is that this woman and her family probably had no idea that there was this kind of risk involved with an epidural. I have met very few people who had any idea of the...

  5. Hidden/Unexpected/Extra Cost of Grad School

    CEG replied to lovingpecola's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I had to fly across the country three times for interviews/house hunting/ finding childcare, etc. Those application fess kill you, too. And paying for the GRE. And extra score reports. And...

  6. Funding question: Direct entry MSN programs

    CEG replied to romie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am at UIC now and we get everything at the grad rate. I am also using the Grad PLUS loan which I think is new. It seems like a pretty good program.

  7. VRE and MRSA screening

    CEG replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Funny... are all patients treated that way? Seems pretty strange to assume someone is VRE or MRSA postive. Is it assumed an infection has caused the PROM? I am not a nurse yet, so I am

  8. Why do they bother coming in anyway??

    CEG replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's too bad, I did Bradley with my babes and it was great. People who are rude ruin it for everyone else. Maybe they wanted a homebirth or birth center and their insurance wouldn't cover it. I...

  9. Lactation/Childbirth Educator& L&D Job

    CEG replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the info. I actually have two under two myself right now, so no doula-ing for me for a little while I will look into that. I was planning to take the online course since there were none...

  10. celebrity deliveries

    CEG replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry everyone :offtopic: J's girl this is going to go off topic, but I couldn't not reply. I was an officer in the Army, I am now a nursing student/future CNM. I would love to go back into the Army...

  11. Easterners, Waterbirth?

    CEG replied to tinyscrafts's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know West Suburban MEdical Center does them. That's the only one I know for sure though. Editing to add, I actually didn't like the tub with either of my labors, but I walked around for hours and it...

  12. celebrity deliveries

    CEG replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's sad about your military care, TraumasRus. I had both of my babies in the military system and was treated great. Hopefully things have improved. My CNM actually made a point of telling me how...

  13. I'm pregnant and starting a new job, do I tell my employer???

    CEG replied to RNTX2002's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wanted to add that in the state I live in pregnancy cannot be considered a pre-existing condition and must be covered. In most states if you have insurance coverage prior to starting your new...

  14. I'm pregnant and starting a new job, do I tell my employer???

    CEG replied to RNTX2002's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I probably wouldn't tell them until after the interview. I did the same thing with nursing school and although everyone was a little shocked when I showed up to orientation 8 months pregnant...

  15. Why Hepatitis B Vaccine for Newborns?

    CEG replied to indigo girl's topic in Pediatric

    But if I am not going to take my baby back to the doc for shot #2 and 3 then does having shot #1 do the baby any

  16. Why Hepatitis B Vaccine for Newborns?

    CEG replied to indigo girl's topic in Pediatric

    I also declined for my kids and got it later. I tried to keep them from dirty needles and unprotected sex for the first couple of months. I can see the high risk pop (moms with status unknown)...

  17. Pronunciation

    CEG replied to tinyscrafts's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I used to live in Marti-NEZ! Once when I was younger some friends and I were joking around and pronoucing fajitas "fa-JI-tas at a restaraunt. A lady came and scolded us for talking that way in...

  18. Concerned, and now confused

    CEG replied to J'sGirl82's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    My babies were both delivered by an AD Army midwife who was FABULOUS! It seems like midwife jobs are available. There is a website called www.midwifejobs.org that lists jobs all over. You can also...

  19. Childbirth class question - looking for info

    CEG replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a nurse yet but the class I took with my first pregnancy combined some Bradley, Lamaze, and natural pain relief techniques, then threw in info about meds, hospital procedures, etc. It was a...

  20. Pronunciation

    CEG replied to tinyscrafts's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't mean to be rude. What I actually meant was purposely affecting a French accent to say it the way they do because that's where it came from would be pretentious. Just prounouncing it that way...

  21. Pronunciation

    CEG replied to tinyscrafts's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In French it would be "centimetre" pronounced "sontemetra" with a throaty "r" sound and just a hint of the "a" sound at the end. So as a French speaker the sontimeter thing just sounds pretentious to...

  22. Doula Thoughts on L&D (long)

    CEG replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, except that you don't actually hold your breath when you swim. You exhale in the water and breathe when your face hits the surface :) With my first child I tried to exhale when pushing and I...

  23. Exercize while pregenant

    CEG replied to -Midget-'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    There was actually a thread on the yoga in inverted positions on the ob-gyn nursing forum a while back. Try searching for it, I can't remember what the conclusion

  24. Exercize while pregenant

    CEG replied to -Midget-'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think we have officially hijacked this thread, but I just have to tell you my DH was in Mosul, too. This is crazy. I also got out and caused trouble, although now Dh is out too so my FRg days are...

  25. Exercize while pregenant

    CEG replied to -Midget-'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    My Commander never did PT with the Company ! LOL, My 1SG was on Profile getting ready to retire so what would he know ???? The M-16 and rounds aren't dangerous to the baby, it's the CLP. Hence why...
