Hello. I was just curious to get some opinions as what anyone thinks of working with a laboring patient whose baby has died. How often do you encounter this? Do you tend to shy away from these patients (if you have any choice in the matter)? Do you encourage the mother to hold the baby?
I don't work in labor and delivery, but I have delivered a stillborn and had excellent nurses take care of me. I was just wondering what some of you thought.
