Thank you everyone. Lisa- sometimes there is a huge reward around the corner. I just thought this was *THE* corner, you know?? I have read of your struggles as well and yes you are right we have much in common! It is really comforting for me to know that someone really pays attention...

My deepest sympathies are with you at this time. I know firsthand how hard it is to lose a parent and what a life-shaking experience it is. You will never be the same. And you will forever cherish the fact that you were with her in the end. You are a good daughter; your mother was lucky! I will...

I am working through the grief of my miscarriage today after my D&C and really would like to make a memorial plaque in remembrance of our baby. I managed to get an ultrasound pic so I thought I could use that and pick out a poem or something to go with it. I just don't want to have nothing to...

Thanks everyone. I know it's pretty hard to miss a 12 week old fetus on US. It just irks you...."what if". There are stories on the net of 12 week old fetus' being missed. But you never know what you are reading, I know. At the very least, I have to go back in and have it reexplained to me...

Well, very sad to report that there was no heartbeat found at my visit today. There really didn't look like much of a baby either---at one point the US tech said he thought he saw the "fetal pole" and I knew that wasn't good (not at 12 weeks).... I was just trying to process the information. The...

Wow, so I am totally freaking out today. As an RN, I realize odds are in my favor. Odds are I am still healthily pregnant, baby is fine. But I am so anxious. First prental visit at almost 10 weeks OB could not hear baby heartbeat with doppler. Went back last week, couldn't hear hb again...

I am VERY grateful I have not thrown up. Also, while food doesn't always sound great right before I decide to eat, I haven't had any real food aversions. I can pretty much eat anything. Just had lots of cravings. LOVE the hard boiled egg idea!! I will do that. Actually all those tips are...

Thanks Valerie. What you are saying is what I suspected. But jeez...sooooo boring!!! LOL. Throw me a bone will ya. Some sign that the nausea and constipation are all worth it, lol. So, from a different perspective....I will consider myself LUCKY if I don't get an ultrasound before 18...

I know Melanie. I would have died if he talked for 90 min. LOL. I was just commenting more than complaining. Suprised, really, since we all aren't educated on health topics and because, NO, I don't think they knew I was an RN, but whatever. As long as I hear the heartbeat next week I will be...

RE: WOW!! Thanks, everyone! You Rock, A jock!! Congtrats and here's to many more years!!:P

I am almost 11 weeks PG and I eat breakfast and two hours later, at 10:30 am all of a sudden all I can think about is hamburgers and french fries. Then two seconds later I am so nauseous that I am almost going to puke and then I have to eat but nothing sounds good. Repeat this cycle...

This is my first pregnancy, so therefore my first prenatal visit ever. They threw a "goodie bag" at me (w/o explaining it BTW) and the doc came in, shook hubby's hand, gave me a hug, did the usual pelvic thing. He said pretty much nothing unless I asked a question r/t PG. He told me I was...

All over the internet I see pregnant women talking about their ultrasounds at week 9,10,11, etc but my doc only does one at 18-20 weeks. What gives? So basically, all I get to hear is the heartbeat at week 12 (hopefully) and nothing again until week 20. Is that how most doctor's do it? I...

Wow, I can't imagine how hard this is for you, Rae. You will be in my prayers. (((HUGS))))

I am so sorry.;(

Well, what a difference of opinions we have here!:o :) Thanks! Shannon..congrats with baby #5! Wendy...I am sorry you are so frustrated. I hope you find resolution too! Well, I PASSED NCLEX! In 75!! I am officially an RN, whether that is good or bad, lol!!!;-) And.....for those...

You all have been so helpful and understanding. Thank you. I am still going round and round with the hubby. Finances...and therefore careers.....seem to be a big bone of contention for us these days. I don't know what the compromise is.:-( I took NCLEX today. It stopped at 75 q's. I also...

RE: Pretty sure I just wasted 2 yrs of my life in nursi... Thank you everyone. I think at this point I am almost over feeling stupid to my family but I fret over looking back and regretting quitting. Also, while I can make money in my other job, it is not as much, and the fat paychecks of...

Diana, I totally hear what you are saying with getting the 1 yr in and all. I totally don't expect to feel comfy for atleast another year or more but I hate that feeling as well. I feel so stressed out in general that basically being tortured for another year sounds like a death sentence. If...

Ok, wasted is a strong word. I did finish, I do have the degree, I do have options. But.. Here I sit, my first RN job ever and newly pregnant, and finally realize 100% that nursing is not for me. In fact, it never was for me. I just kept letting my head override my heart. And I never trusted...
