Thanks a lot, my friends. I feel really better now. That's why I love this forum. I can just speak out my feeling, release the depression, and get so many friends' comfort and encouragement. Thanks girls.

Hey dR.M what month are u on...when are u due...........I think I knew it at the back of my mind but just didn't realize. Good Luck and take care.grin

Hi! Dr. mum,

Congrats my friend. You are greatest! studying, working, carrying a baby! and a family to manage! I really admire you. Most important right now is take care of yourself dear, just dont stress yourself. Biochem is a little wierd, but dont loose heart, keep going slow and be persistent. I really did not know you were carrying. When is the EDD?
I got my score and it says 92/227, finally I am done with one step.smiling face
take care of yourself and your baby. take plenty of rest and never get stressed.
you have a uneventful happy pregnancy and good luck with your studies

Hey Asha that was amazing. CONGRATULATIONs don't forget to write ur views...experience. Good luck with the next step.gringringrin

  #133

Asha, you did great, congratulations. Wow, you will be busy soon. When are you going to start your step 2?

Thanks my friends. I will have my new baby in May. If you don't see me for a long time in May, don't be surprised. grin

Didn't touch books at all. And, today I even didn't rush my work. I guess my stress came from my imbalanced hormones. grin So, I will just listen to my body, relax for a while.

My husband and I both take Friday off, so we are going to have a long weekend. I plan to go shopping ( but not in the crazy friday morning) and clean my yard, which is horribly covered by leaves.

  #135

Hey Dr. Mum hope u are feeling better. Happy Thanksgiving.nod to u and other's who visit ur thread.

  #136

hey are u ok? what's up Mommy? all well?sad

  #137

Sorry for not showing up. I had a good weekend. Everyday, I slep so well like a happy pig. grin Yesterday, I had a docter's appointment and had too much work to do.

Now, back to normal. Have to catch up. my time frame for the test? Study one subject each month (hopefully)----have a new baby----have a traditional 2 months post partum rest ----- study full time for 3 - 4 months ------ give the exam a final shot.

After I have my new baby, my parents in law will come to help us for several months till I finish my exam. So I can study 10-15 hours a day.

Hey Mommy don't get so pampered that u forget to read. U sound so like a happy pregnant woman right now. I don't have the gets to go for another baby till i'm done and my husbands says he's done!grin

I've been at micro this week. Next week have to start path and pharm big time. u study ok....while u can. tc.


  #141

Hi! Dr. Mum,

how 're you doing? looks like you are doing wellsmiling face I am happy for you. You seemed a little bit frustrated over biochemistry, have you been reading kaplan notes? I would suggest that you go through that first and later you can supplement with lippincot. that will be an easy method. most of the questions in the real exams can be answered if you know kaplan biochemistry. so dont worry about it.
eat well and take plenty of rest, when I was carrying my kid I was in my postgraduation, and used to have hectic schedules, finally ended up getting a 2.5kg small baby. so please take plenty of rest. my daughter is on 95 th percentile (weight) now , but till now I always felt I should have concentrated more on eating nutritious food and rest when I was pregnant.
take care then,

  #142

Thanks, mytime, I won't forget reading. But I will slow down a little. In the past several days, I tried to compare with other people. I forgot different people have different background and situation. I used to skip break time and to shorten dinner time to have 2 hours study time. And when I came home, I studied till 2 o'clock. I have to get up whenever my son wakes up. That's too much for me. My family plan is to have 3 kids before I am 35 years old. I have to hurry up. USMLE to me, it is important, but not as much as family duty. grin But I won't give up. I am a snail, slow, but steady.grin

Thanks, Asha, I will slow down a little, but will do more when I feel I can. Hope you study well on step 2.

No time to report. Time to go home.

I like reading this thread. Seems like there is a lot of women bondage going on here.

Keep up the good work ladies!

Finished chapter 17 + 18 these days. I am still reading Lippincott. I just want to finish it. I feel so uncomfortable to leave work half done. If other people can do it, I can do it. The difference is I maybe need more time.

You are absolutely right dr.mum :

"If other people can do it, I can do it. The difference is I maybe need more time."

I fully agree with you. We may take more time than others but with the grace of God we will be done with it one day . nod

  #147

Hi! dr. mum

how are you? how are you reading? I see you have not posted recently, seems like you are busy.............well take care of yourself.

  #148

Thanks, mytime and Asha. I'm OK. Just too sleepy everyday, couldn't open my eyes. The temperature outside is going down, but inside is going up, which makes me even sleepier. I have to take 15 or 20 mins nap when I am working by sitting still with eyes closed. When I go home, I tried to read more, but after 30 mins, I fell to sleep in the coach. Just like my first pregnacy, I always felt sleepy and hungry.

Just finished chapter 19.
