While working in Newborn Nursery/ postpartum we had a new mom call out and ask if she could feed her newborn a grape:uhoh3:?!? I quickly went to check on the baby. Sad thing was that she worked at a day care. Ashlee
I did not do this personally but we had a nurse do something similar on an OB patient. She could not figure out why the woman was crying in pain but she could not pic up any contractions with the toco. It was on the womans breast!!! We all had a g...

Hi all! I forgot about this thread! Since my last post I had the EGD, it was a piece of cake:p Dr found nothing. So finally as a last resort he set me up to have my gallbladder out. I had it out on June 3rd. I ended up having to stay overnigh...

We use Stadol 1-2 mg with Phenergan 12.5-25 mg. We are a small hospital so we don't use epidurals, we use intrathecals. We only use the stadol for early labor and the intrathecal when they get to 4-5 cm.
We do glucoses on all babies at birth and at 2 hours. I have seen many that never showed any signs of hypoglycemia but had a BS of 30 or so. We have standing orders that all the ped dr's have agreed upon so we don't have much of a problem with it.
Thanks for the info. My gynecologist is a great DR. I work in Labor and Delivery with him, so I trust him 110%. I have an appointment with him On March 15th. I am not trying to get pregnant, but I want children when I am married.
