Should I delivery solo or not?
I am due in about 7 weeks and I still haven’t decided if I want anyone with me while I deliver my baby. I am really annoyed and irritated already and I can only imagine I will be worse while in labor. Has anyone ever delivered without anyone besides the doctor and nurses in the room?

I have no kids right now. But many people only have their boyfriend/ husband with the nurse and doctors in the room, thats it. I wouldn't feel comfortable with the family in there, thats what the waiting rooms for. good luck with your choice.
2 :
I delivered for kids 3 of them solo the last one with my sister in law giving birth is undescribable it is truly a miracle labor is what is rough delivery is a breeze if i had the chance like my kids i would share it with the ones closest to me no one was aloud in when i was pregnant i was with my girls you could not give me a billion dollars to miss it the baby is a miracle giving birth is a blessing good luck

Usually it's common to have the father of the child in there or, if you don't want them, some women have their mothers. Really it is all about whatever is going to make you the most comfortable. You delivery is about you and the baby, you don't need any other added stress, so if you do have someone, make sure they are someone who supports you.

When I had my daughter my mom would not leave the room and I was so annoyed (my husband was there as well). So when I had my son I didn't tell anyone until after he was born, I didn't want the madhouse that I had when she was born. I was like you and really irritable and I even told my husband that if he did one thing to annoy me he was getting kicked out. He ended up being just fine and even helped catch our son and cut the cord. I suggest inviting ONE person in there because you want someone to be there for support but don't tell anyone else until after the baby is born.

i just had my mom and one nurse. if i had to do it all over again i would make sure there was another person in there with me. i only had one person holding my leg..my mom...and it was so hard. i dont care if i have to pull a stranger out in the hospital to hold my other left next time around...i will do it! my arms from holding my legs hurt the most after having my son. so make sure there are two people holding your legs. there wasnt but one nurse in the room with me until i was about done.

I was the same way when i was about to have my son. i had been arguing a lot with my boyfriend(his father) and wasnt even sure if i wanted him there when he was born. he was and i am glad that he was there to see our son be born. everything is good now

How many professions do you have? How hard is it
How many professions do you have? How hard is it?
We'll I'm just started college. After I graduated Nursing, I wanted to take Architecture then. And possible fine arts or music. How hard is it having many professions. Then I will build a hospital with my own design and a music theater more like of an orchestra where I can make my first solo concert. If its possible though.

What are some good songs to sing at a nursing home
What are some good songs to sing at a nursing home?
4/5 people. 2 male basses, 2 female sopranos, 1 female alto. I would prefer mostly solos, but a duet or two, and even a song we can all sing together would be good. Musicals, classical, etc. Please help. :)

What are some ideas for activites for an elderly man with dementia
What are some ideas for activites for an elderly man with dementia?
My Grandpa was just put in a nursing home. He suffers from dementia, and I was trying to think of activites (preferably solo) for him. Some hand-held game ideas or something? Oh, and just and FYI, he's mainly in the nursing home temporarily for his severe broncitis, not his dementia. And we visit, but we can't be there 24/7. So when we aren't there, i wanted some ideas for him to entertain him.

He would benefit from group activities and get to know the other residents. Solo games just sound so lonely.
2 :
Depending on how severe his dementia, it's good to involve activities that keep the mind working and clicking. Except, you've got to be sure it's not over-working and confusing the poor guy. I work at an adult family home and our gentlemen like to put together small puzzles, bounce balls back and forth, play cards, word searches or crossword puzzles, read books that evoke some nostalgia...etc. Hope I helped at least a little! i'd like to know more about what I can do to keep dementia and alzheimers people engaged !
3 :
There are a lot of hand-held games he might enjoy. Also a personal cd player with some of his favorite songs. Big bands, etc. I did this for my aunt, but she threw everything in a drawer & never used it. I'm in another state, but her 2 children are there.----e-mail me if you want.
4 :
Just visit him. He isn't a child waiting to be entertained. He lives in his MOMENT and to help him is to spend time in that moment. Persons with AD do not use HAND HELD apparatus for entertainment.
5 :
From my experience, unless your grandpa was interested in the hand held devices before, he'll probably find them confusing and frustrating now. I think it would be best to base his activities on his known interests. For example, if he was a card player, then try to find him a card playing partner. If he was a wood worker, a birdhouse kit or something like that might keep his interest. I don't think that this is the time to be introducing complicated activities, but it is a time to build on his own interests.
6 :
From working in an Assisted Living facility, I found that helping the elderly color with crayons in a coloring book is good. While they may not color the entire picture themself, you can entertain them by doing it. Warning though, if he acts like he isn't interested in 'whatever' don't push it. What may happen is you'll have an elderly man w/dementia in a fit of rage.
7 :
My dad had dementia, and more and more he lost his interest in life. He previously liked to read and play cards, but he gradually enjoyed tv, watching musical activities at the assisted living home, and just sitting and watching people. He didn't enjoy interactive activities with others, because I think he realized he couldn't keep up. Everyone is different, but he didn't have the agility or concentration to play hand-held games. Good luck. Ask him, and read up on what is available.
