ER visit, ER Nurse
I recently gave birth to my beautiful baby Girl she is 2 and a half weeks old.
She is my second child, my eldest is 4.
This afternoon she started crying uncontrollably, nothing soothed her, it was relentless and continued for a few hours. We called nurse on call who advised we should go to ED or our regular paediatrician. Yes I get babies cry, but nothing settled her at all..and her cry changed and we too the nurse on call advice and went into our local emergency department.
The triage nurse was awful, she said what is with parents who can’t stand a baby crying ? Babies cry you know? I felt so small and humiliated in that moment. Yes this is a new baby and we’re still getting to know her, but also not our first child.
Anyhow turns out the paediatrician thinks it’s just colic, which I thought she was too young for but he said can occur anywhere from 2 weeks. My son never had colic so I didn’t know
Now I feel so stupid for going to the Emergency Department
Not sure what I want or why I posted but anyhow I did..
