I’m finally watching the first season of Severance. You can tell Mrs Selvig is a fraud because she gives terrible breastfeeding advice.

Ok, I’m officially a Spinning Babies convert. Got a patient who had prolonged SROM, labor hadn’t started despite pitocin for 18 hours. I decided to try the Spinning Babies circuit AND I’M NOT EVEN KIDDING SHE PUSHED HER BABY OUT TWO HOURS LATER!

Does anyone else feel like dirty dishes reproduce and multiply behind your back? I swear I’ll wash a sink full of dishes and then turn around AND THERES A WHOLE OTHER LOAD! I’ll get those washed, look around AND THERE’S MORE!

Whoever says “don’t cry over spilled milk” has clearly never had to triple feed

This is the time of year where I’m truly amazed at my body’s incredible ability to make snot

Patient question of the day: will this position dilate my cervix?

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

Had a patient recently that had planned to not get an epidural but was facing a pitocin induction. She was asking me “is the pitocin really that intense?”

I put on makeup today. Last time I wore make up I forgot about it until 2 days later when Chris asked why I have smudges around my eyes

Learned two cool things recently
1- you can get pregnant after menopause with IVF and a donor egg
2- menopause causes changes to the cervix which may keep it from dilating
