Here it is! My #tweetorial on my experience of pumping during MS3 rotations.

Read on for tips to successfully pumping as a medical student (applies to residents too!).

#medthread #medstudenttwitter #MedTwitter #mamainmedicine 2/9

My baby was born in May; took @TheUSMLE Step 1 in Aug (applied for extra break time to pump); then started rotations.

I pumped all of MS3 - you can too if it’s important to you. It helped me feel I was taking care of my baby when we were apart.

Easy? No. Worth it? Yes.

Hey #medstudenttwitter! I just finished a virtual #familymedicine rotation, and wanted to share something I learned.

When should patients take their blood pressure pills?

#tweetorial #medthread #medtwitter @umnmedschool 2/8

Patients often ask when they should take their medications. The answer often depends on side effects, such as drowsiness (take these meds at night).

Did you know there's evidence that blood pressure medications actually WORK BETTER if taken before bed?

The #COVID19 pandemic has #pregnant women reconsidering their delivery plans.

Here's my first #medtwitter #tweetorial on birth options in the time of a pandemic.

(SPOILER ALERT: #homebirth is NOT a good idea in the US)

It’s scary to deliver at a hospital during #COVID19, for many reasons.

All hospitals are restricting visitors right now, but most in the Twin Cities, such as @MHealthFairview, allow laboring mothers to have one support person.
