Do You Know Medical Terms Doctor and Nurses Use?

Question

Answer

First time pregnancy and I have no idea how to count contractions and tell what the ultrasound is talking about all I just see is the baby and all the dilating stuff is confusing right now maybe it's because I'm not there yet... I feel clueless.

Answer

I'm a nurse and sometimes it sucks when you know a lot of stuff. It makes me feel more anxious just by remembering how it looks like to deliver a baby and cut someone's perineum (horrible) just to think that it might happen to me too. But nevertheless knowing things helps you too.

Answer

I don't know all the medical terms by any means, but my docs and nurses usually stick to medical terms that explain the bigger term, so I can follow!

Answer

I'm an lpn and I still feel clueless as a first time mom. I know the language but never worked with obstetrics so I'm as lost as everyone else lol. Lots of research. But always always ask your ob if you're concerned about anything.

Answer

Well you can always look them up or.just plain ask, I asked they don't expect you to know they just forget people not in the.medical field don't understand certain words. Once you learn what they mean you will remember. I always just researched stuff if I came.across something I didn't know or understand and I wasn't at a doctor appt.
