  1. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

    CEG replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just had a baby in November and the "breastfeeding support bag" I got did have Lansinoh, nursing pads, and La Leche League stuff in it. I can't remember what formula brand it was (a label on the...

  2. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

    CEG replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First off- it's a sensitive issue with me. I BF my DD, thinking all was okay (other than a fussy baby). Went to the ped after one week and my 8lb 11oz baby was 7lb 2 oz (despite nursing every hour...

  3. BC Pills & Miscarriage

    CEG replied to slu_rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am just a student so this is not a professional opinion, but if antibiotics make the pill ineffective against pregnancy I would think they would also allow for breakthrough bleeding? Continuing to...

    CEG replied to Aneroo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't give you a nurse answer yet, but my personal experience. I was induced with my first child and it was a difficult experience. I was always being poked and prodded and monitored. I didn't...

    CEG replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

  6. Applying Oxygen when O2sat is 99% on RA

    CEG replied to SC RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

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

    CEG replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

    guess i should clarify- i didn't mean to make it sound like i thought all ob's were evil liars- just wanted to show the other side of the spectrum. i think ob's in general are people who enjoy their...

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

    CEG replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm not a nurse yet, and I might just be one of your "nature nazis" but here is my take... First off, I get my pregnancy advice from a CNM, I wouldn't see an MD unless I had some kind of...

    CEG replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    CEG replied to sugabuga's topic in Ob/Gyn

  13. Is doula training useful?

    CEG replied to BonnieSc's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a nurse yet, just a student. I took the doula course a year ago and it was wonderful. There were a couple of nurses in my course and they seemed to really enjoy it too. I took the DONA...

  14. Flu Vaccination During Pregnancy

    CEG replied to zambezi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    CEG replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am student, not a nurse yet, but I am 33 weeks pregnant and I sleep on my stomach. It is starting to require some creative maneuvers and use of pillows but I sleep so much better that way. I did...

  16. Bras

    CEG replied to guest27716's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wanted to give you my point of view: if you were an A cup you wouldn't be able to buy a nursing bra. At all. Anywhere. I mean, sure, no one would notice if I went without a bra:) but I would...

  17. Some questions for me....

    CEG posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. Some questions for me....

    CEG replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I trust my midwife absolutely and have discussed my preferences with her (she also caught my DD). Unfortunately anyone could be on call, and I have heard some bad stories about some of the new docs....

  20. Any websites discussing hospitals?

    CEG replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    but there is www.hospitals.com. It looks like a pretty extensive site. Good luck, I am also planning to be pretty mobile once I graduate because of my DH's job.

  21. Daughter told to do her own cultures...

    CEG replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My midwife had me do my own. She did tell me not to go "inside," just swab around the lady parts and rectum. It came back positive, so I either did something right or something very wrong LOL. I am...

    CEG replied to reese_cup's topic in Ob/Gyn

    CEG replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn
