Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 2)

[Robino1]

RJ, I hope you and your son make it home tomorrow.
I agree, at least he is at school and not stuck at home alone.

April, I hope you don't get an influx of patients at the last minute.

Ahhh finally home.

Good for you! There are days I wish it would go back to the old-days when dads and family sat in the waiting room.

Agree! I wouldn't let my Mom come back with me. She wasn't happy about it. She told a lot of people details of my sister's delivery that didn't need to be shared. I just told my nurse when I got there that no one was to be in my room when I was being 'checked' or when the baby came. They ran her out quite a few times! L&D nurses are awesome..

April I went in when my daughter delivered our little Nellie because she asked me to. Was glad in the end I was with her as she had a few challenges...but I really didn't need to see that Delivered three myself but that's a whole other angle..

I was in with my daughters second baby. The way her body is, she broke her tailbone with the first two babies. I heard the pop when it broke with Kylee. When she was pregnant with the third, Lena, she went with a c-section. She said it was easier to recover from Lena's birth than the previous two.

I knew what to expect though, I was with my sister when she had her first child. It is different on the other side of the coin, so to speak.

I play the bad guy often. There's always someone that insists on being there that the mom doesn't want, I make up some policy and that way the family can be annoyed with me, not the patient. It's a fun job, everyday is different

I pretty much stayed out of the way. Although at one point the nurse said she could see the baby coming. My daughter looked at me and asked if it was true. I took a look, had no flipping clue. I couldn't lie so I told her 'the nurse knows what she's talking about'. By that time my daughter was so ready to have labor over with.

Robin My blood sister told me about when she got to see her first Grandchild born. The pain this poor little. remember little. Was unbelievable. Torn from front to back. My sister and the girls mom threathened to doctor within an inch of their life. My neice is only about 5 foot tall and might weigh 90 pounds dripping wet. The next child was done c second. First Great nephew was over 8 pounds. second great neice was around 7 I believe.
My sweetie and I aren't able to have kids.
OK this is for the Guys here. IF YOU HAVE A CHILD THAT A WOMAN HAS BROUGHT INTO THIS LIFE. Then you need to love her and treasure her for all of time.

God Bless all you Ladies that have children. You have a fantastic gift.
Bows with respect to the ladies of the Army. And yet you can do it all.
I could go on about how amazing women are but you already know. So

Heck in my former job. Well I was things I'm not allowed to talk about in a public forum. I was a first responder, and a armed officer at a college. WOW. Glad I don't have to do it anymore. whew

“My sister was in labor for 38 hours! 38 HOURS! Man, I give up on a poop after 20 minutes!”

I'm back too. Geez, nearly 2 hours to get to work today and it's only about 5 miles away! I keep tell folks that in Bangkok, they don't measure car speed by MPH or KPH (kilometers per hour). They measure it MPM or MPK, minute per mile & minutes per kilometer.

Using that formula, I was traveling a mind boggling 24 min per mile! Very exhilarating ....





.... not!

Which makes it hard to stay awake at the wheel if you've had a short night's rest.

You could not pry me away!!

My wife was in labour for 18 hours. She came down hard with a fever about 5 hours in and Chloe's heart rate started getting erratic. We went with the epidural at that point, and had to get her in an ice bath to lower her temperature before things finally slowly stabilized. We were touch and go for a while..

Watching those spikes on the monitor that keep track of contractions was the scariest thing I've experienced.

Hats off to her team, because we got there when her doctor was finishing her shift and she stayed back with us from 5:30 in the morning till 11:30 at night.

That was also my wife's 30th birthday!! Chloe and she share the same birthday..

It was a horrendous experience that I would never want to repeat, but at that time, I would never have left her side..no way, no how!!

The father of our kids would not be in the room with me.
Good for you for being there for your wife and daughter. That is something I would have loved to have......support.

No mother should have to go through that ordeal alone..

Of course the lady in the bed next to us in the recovery ward came in and had her baby in 30 mins.. Oh yeah, her previous one was a whopping 45 minutes. She was all perky, and I swear my wife would have strangled her if she could walk over to her bed.

Ok this is for the fellows here. (sorry ladies). Now that I made Tresa mad enough not to talk to me I can finally get some things done. She went to her bedroom and door is closed. Now I can finally finish what I wanted to do 4 hours ago.

Been there, done that...
