I just had my personal record today. Three NSVDs. Ugh, I'm tired. Luckily they were all multips who pushed for less than 10 minutes. I had 1 at 9:30, 1 at 1:30, 1 at 5:30. Every 4 hours, like clockwork!
I've done 4 labor patients in one 12 hour shift but that was not the busiest ... the busiest was when I did 18!! triage patients in one 12 hour shift. Earned my "triage queen" crown that shift. Where I was working at the time had a 4 bed triage unit so as you can imagine it was pretty much full all the time that shift.

Working in the newborn admission nursery today...we had 14 delivered babies; 12 of them came between 0700 and 1300. It was myself and one other nurse. I'm not sure if it was a record, but it sure felt like one this morning! I'm blaming the Superbowl...
