1. male labor and delivery nurses

   Nefertari1279 replied to booluvstrains's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I do not understand why male nurses are "shunned" out of L&D. If women have male OB's delivering their pup, why would it matter if their nurse was male. Doesn't competence matter MORE than gender? I understand that in some cases a patient would j...

   m2be: Last I checked, a woman cannot be forced back on to the moniter. "punish" you, was she serious? What were you, five? I'm sorry you were put through that.

   Trauma: Its an honest question. Say if you find cash on a patient, do you return it to them or not?

   Curious, if you guys find money on/in a patient, do you return it to them or confinscate it?

   NurseyBabyo5: Thanks, its been a rough couple of weeks. Aside rom the nurse, I was treated very well, my Dr was almost reluctant to do anything, but after four hours I was getting exhausted and the contractions were not consistant, so he asked if he...

8. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

   Nefertari1279 replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Cradle: That's just it, had you clarified that in the OP, I doubt you would have recieved such heated replies. The extreme one's are annoying, but a little positive , non patronizing communication can go a long way. I had a pregnancey loss two weeks...

9. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

   Nefertari1279 replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

   "Yes, I'm old and rickety...but, I HATE birth plans!! Especially those that include NO vag exams unless she needs to push (wth), or NO IV access (wth), or NO fetal monitoring (WTH!!) etc....." If the birth plan is reasonable, it shouldn't turn into a...

    Nefertari1279 replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Unless I was ASKED FIRST, the Dr would get a nice fat kick in the face or groin if they did that. Sorry that is just not happening, LOL

    "Post-op, the 18-yr-old primip pt did fine, didn't seem traumatized or even seem to realize that what happened was not normal, from what I heard" Poor thing was most likely in shock, I'm glad Mom and Baby are "ok" but something about this just doesn'...

14. 17 teens make pregnancy pact

    Nefertari1279 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First off, I think it is incredibly sad that these girls felt that "having a baby" would be the only way to be accepted and loved. Sick really. Also sad that the school nurse could not have intervened and at least talked to the girl about what they...

15. opinions about homebirthing

    Nefertari1279 replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I definatly believe it is a valid choice for low risk healthy women. As far as the "unassisted crowd" I also think that should be the woman's choice, as long as she educates herself about the risks thereof and is willing to own the outcome, than who ...
