Crying?

Hello! Ok so I am doing my OB clinical rotation right now in school. I definitely know after doing my rotations so far that OB is for me!!! Now, I've done postpartum mother baby care and 2 days in labor and delivery and love them both so far. However here's my problem... After the 2 lady partsl deliveries I've seen, I've cried happy tears after the baby comes out!!!! Did anyone else do this and be able to control their emotions once getting a job in labor and delivery? Maybe when it's my own patient I won't have the time to get so emotional??

Just wanted to know if there's any other criers out there and if it eventually went away!

    I have been at it for seven years, and I work postpartum, not L/D. However, there are still times when there's a baby that's just so beautiful s/he brings tears to my eyes, or I see a daddy kangarooing his new baby girl, or a new young mom is so amazed that her baby responds to her voice, I do get a little misty-eyed.

    The fetal demises are still hard, but I don't always cry at them either. Some patients' situations just touch me a little deeper than others do.

    With time you will be able to cry when you need to as well as get the job done. :)
