   Well, I should clarify that I think the OB-GYN that put it in did not put it in correctly, as my strings are not hanging out. It's been an issue for a couple of years, and for all I know it has embedded in my uterine lining and that is why it didn't...

   No, it's not that it's bad to deliver there. It is one of the top places to deliver in our area. I wouldn't have picked that place to work if it wasnt. In fact, I delivered my other two girls at the county hospital (by a CNM) in our old city we li...

    @Rainn- I called immediately, I'm going in tomorrow because of the high risk of ectopic pregnancy. To all of you- Thanks for the replies. I appreciate hearing this. If this is a legit pregnancy (i.e. not ectopic) it would make #3 for my husband ...

    I just wanted to share my experience. I just graduated in May and officially accepted a position as a nurse intern at one of the major hospitals in Houston in labor and delivery. It was very VERY competitive and they only took 3 into L&D. Fir...
