I'm so excited I can't stand it - what a cool experience! We had a lady who was about 5 or 6 cm, they broke her water. She never really complained much about pain, but then I was sitting in there with her and she was grimacing more during contractions and then she wanted to push. I went and got the CNM and my preceptor. They had me check first. I wasn't sure, but I thought I felt a bit of anterior lip. The CNM checked behind me and the lady went to push at that time. CNM was like, we have to get the med student in here, he wants to help deliver this baby! She goes towards the door, and she crowns. I was the only one with gloves on, so the CNM guided me and let me deliver the baby, cut the cord and deliver the placenta! Baby and mom were fine (no lacs), and everyone was so supportive. Even mom thanked me!
Just had to share - my DH doesn't understand how exciting this is for me (he works with computers, and doesn't like to know all the details!).
