3. Would you have a child because you thought you would regret it later on if you didn't

   smack050505 replied to smack050505's topic in General Nursing

   I would like to have one now, however finances and the fact that I'm in school would make that an unappealing situation. I grew up in a low income family and have always said that I wouldn't have kids if I were not in a stable situation. I have a g...

   The more I think about it, the more I see that I try to talk myself into it a lot. My best friend is expecting right now and it is so exciting for her. It's exciting to me too. Most of the times that I think I want one is when someone is pregnant ...

   Great advice. I was in Wal-Mart last night and I swear every 4 year old in town was in there pitching a fit. All their mothers looked like they were minutes away from going postal!

   Absolutely! Two of my good friends got preggers within a month of getting off the pill. Talk about hormones. They've both got me on speed dial and are driving me crazy!! Will this be your first?

   smack050505 replied to smack050505's topic in General Nursing

   My husband has a child. I know I'd be a good mother, I'd like to have a child, and I know I wouldn't regret it if it happened. I guess I just worry about all the things I'll be giving up. I worry about finances and time and my relationship with my...

13. Nurses with children.....

    smack050505 replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Moutain_rn - How do you and your dh deal with childcare as regards to your schedules? Do you work days and he work nights on the same day? I thought about that but then he'd be at work while I was trying to sleep with the kid wide awake!

14. Nurses with children.....

    smack050505 replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are any of your spouses nurses as well? My dh and I are thinking about starting a family but were worried about how we were going to handle childcare.

    I've seen my gyno yearly for the past three years with regular pap smears and she's never mentioned it. I never did because I was never aware it wasn't normal. Surely she would notice. The bumps anyway if not the discharge. Sometimes it smells ki...
