      Exactly.

        My guess was new mothers were kept awake at night wondering why a pediatrics office in 2011 was still using pagers.

          No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

            Not anymore, actually, but the term has stuck.

            Apparently so. It gives me a tic just thinking about it.

              A good shaking loosens the little buggers right up. No constipation worries.

                  I was gonna say "foreign object" but that's adults, isn't it...

                  The only time we called up the pediatrician and wanted an appointment pronto (this was mid-weed, during normal hours) involved blood. A tiny amount of blood that was, ultimately, nothing to worry about, but blood nonetheless. And THE BOOK we own said there was a small chance of blah blah blah so better safe than sorry and all that.

                      Blood in the stool, by all means, call.

                          Now, I want any my fellow Polytubbies to guess what is the most common complaint that prompts mommies (almost always mommies) to call their pediatrician outside of office hours.

                          I'm guessing we don't get to the right answer until the third page.

                            As a healer , you have little patience and compassion for your patients.

                            Your nurses should be teaching and explaining.

                              I didn't think this thread was only about first-time parents. I was referring to parents in general.
