Taking Iron During Pregnancy Nurse Jackies 5-2-20 weekly tip

Posted on by

You’re having a baby. Your Obstetrician starts you on iron medication daily for your anemia. What is the recommendation for taking this medication by mouth. Which answer is correct?

  • 1-iron medication needs food to activate it so take it with a meal
  • 2-Iron medication should be taken with milk
  • 3-Iron medication should not be taken with food
  • 4-Iron medication should be taken before you go to bed.

Answer 3 – Iron medications should not be taken with food. The reason you should take iron on an empty stomach without food is that an acidic stomach helps with iron absorption.(unless your physician says otherwise).

Ruptured Membranes – Nurse Jackie’s Tip for 4-24-20

Posted on by

You are going to have a baby. You are sleeping comfortably on your left side. Suddenly you feel some wetness coming from your vagina. Did you pee on yourself or did your water break?

Pick the 2 statements that are accurate regarding Ruptured Membranes..

  • 1 – Amniotic fluid has a distinctive odor 
  • 2 – It’s not near your due date so you could not have broken your water. 
  • 3 – The fluid keep coming out of your vagina.
  • 4 – You are not having any pain  or any other signs of labor, so your water must have not broken .

Answer is 1 & 3 – do not have to be in labor to break your water. It’s called Premature Rupture of Membranes.  You can break your water before you are term it’s called  preterm premature rupture of membranes.   Amniotic fluid has a distinctive smell, different from urine.  Fluid will continuously come from the vagina sometimes, sometimes it will leak for a short time, stop and then do it again.  Bottom line – don’t guess notify your provider immediately because they are a better judge if you broke your water, don’t be surprised if they ask you to be seen either at the office or at the hospital.

My newborn – what part do I not wash?

Posted on by
what part of a newborn baby not to wash

You just gave birth to a baby with good color, breathing is great, cry is loud and strong and baby is moving about well. Which part of the body should not dried?

  • Head
  • Back
  • Hands
  • Legs

Answer: (3) The hands. Amniotic fluid on the hands help baby find the breast. A babys hands have the scent of amniotic fluid on them and will help your baby find her mother’s nipple, which has a similar scent. For this important reason, your baby’s hands should not be dried and, it’s recommended that you do not wash your nipples before your baby breastfeeds.” This is a beautiful experience to watch!

Dr Lisa Eng – Hero of the Day

Posted on by
dr lisa eng doctor hero

HERO OF THE DAY

Dr. Lisa Eng is the amazing physician that delivered all three of my babies (well maybe technically not Aubrie because she came too quickly🤪, but she was taking care of me during my pregnancy). She normally gets to be a part of what would be the most wonderful and exciting time in a women’s life. But given the current circumstances, this is a scary time with the given threats we are all facing. Please join me in praying for and thanking Lisa and all our labor and delivery staff that show up for our families in the midst of this battle!
