I already answered on the other thread.. but i'll post it here too.
I'm an LVN (going to go for my RN though as soon as i get the chance). Have been one for 2 years now and loving it.. (kinda lol).. I actually lost my job recently in a horrible way for a dumb excuse.. i think they just wanted me gone from the get go, so they used any excuse/reason to fire me. I know I haven't been a Nurse long, but i've been through a lot during my time. I went to nursing school right after high school graduation.. so i'm very young and i'm happy i decided on becoming a nurse with my husband.
Right now im going to be stepping into pediatrics, but my passion, or what i'd like to do is either OB/GYN or Forensics (i know it's nothing like CSI). but it's hard to get into OB here where i am if you have no experience in the field.
Some of you who know me, know I just had a Preemie baby girl, and i'd like to add my 2 cents..
I had a c-section, not by choice, because my baby was not in the correct position. and I had IUGR so they wanted her out.
My main problem was healing time, I felt like i got ran over by a bus afterwards, and i ended up tearing my muscle 5 weeks after the c-section. It's been almost 8 months, but it STILL hurts.. they say it can take up to a year or two to heal fully on the inside.. I scar easily so it looks HORRIBLE
Not only that, but it's so much harder for me to lose weight than most of my friends that have had vaginal deliveries.. why!? lol..
i know that there are some people that have had c-sections and be fine the next couple days, and others like myself just take forever to heal.. i think it really depends on you and your body.. if i could i'd really like to have a VBAC.. i do not for the life of me want another c-section ever.
but regardless, having a baby was the best thing that ever happened to me.. and all the pain you feel goes away once you see your baby.. I know you'll do great
i panicked during the operation lol.. but that's a whole nother story.
enjoy your pregnancy!
and whichever way you deliver, i'm sure youll do great
