Horrible delivery the other day

Holy Smokes!! Sissiesmamma, that is a very frightening experience. I am a new grad about to start my L&D experience.

Yes, it was a horrible day, the outcome that no one wants to see. Thank goodness, this one was the only REALLY horrible delivery among all the great ones that brought a smile to my face, and sometimes a tear of joy seeing another beautiful little one brought into the world. It was always worth it seeing a new mom and dad holding that sweet newborn- a life so full of promise.

Halo - good luck to you starting out in L and D. It is truly exciting - I am an ER nurse at heart, so I just never really started to truly enjoyed the unit. I got back out of it and went back to my ER. I hope you enjoy your experiences there.

So, what is the difference, or I guess, the deal with the vertical incisions? Just curious because I had 2 c-secs and they were both vertical- from belly button down. 1st one was 22 years ago. Daughter was breech- like laying sideways, and they tried to turn her from the outside (owwie). It was a tough one. 2nd was scheduled.
