Can I vent just a bit...
Right now, we have a teen mom in labor who, herself, has a repaired septal heart defect. The sono she had in pregnancy was suggestive of heart defects in her baby. She did not follow up with a level 3 sono, nor go downtown when finally in labor. (we only have level 2 1/2 nsy - no level 3)
She says she came here because our hospital is 'prettier than the ones downtown' :trout:
-- OH... AND (now @ 43 1/2 weeks) that 'she didn't like the other hospital because they wanted to induce her labor'. Ya think?!
WHAT IS WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!! :uhoh3::uhoh3::uhoh3::uhoh3:
...The heart thing and not following up with the better sono - not the first time this has happened. About a year ago, we were wondering why new, term baby was crying vigourously and not pinking up with O2 BB. Mom: 'Oh yea - the doctor said something about one side of his heart being bigger than the other' She never went for her follow up sono either. OB didn't make her, or tell her she should deliver downtown. HOLY $#!& PEOPLE!
Catching babies these days is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.
