1. Baby in a bag!

   JessiD replied to elizabells's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have seen it often in smaller babies, but never in a term infant. One of my patients progressed to pushing while still intact. The sac did not rupture until the head was pretty much even with the ears, when it did rupture everyone in the room 'took...

2. meeting with the hospital attorney next week

   JessiD replied to tavalon's topic in Ob/Gyn

   If it is just the hospital attorney you are meeting with and the hospital is not the plantiff this will be the best time for you to judge how much the hospital is going to support you in this case. If the plantiff's attorney is not there there is no ...

3. meeting with the hospital attorney next week

   JessiD replied to tavalon's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am sure you have already had the meeting by this point, but a meeting the the attorney doesnt call for an attorney of your own neccessarily. I have met with a hospital attorney before and it was nothing more than me telling exactly what happened in...

4. Skin to skin contact

   JessiD replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

   And I dont mean the pediatrician determines it for each case, but there would be a standard set by the peds of the facility as when and when to delay cord clamping or which peds like clamping and which do not.

   JessiD replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Not so much coming from our antipartum untit but we have had a lot of preterm pts come in and we just cant cant seem to get them stopped, or they have already progressed to transition, or have ruptured membranes. We usually get a trickle, but it seem...

7. What's the weirdest baby name?

   JessiD replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I didnt actually see this, it happened a long time before I came to work. But a nurse in WBN told me one time a mother looked at the crib card and saw Sim e Fe (Similac with Iron). She was very contemplative and didnt say much for part of the day. Th...

8. Why is it so hard?

   JessiD replied to Nishababy23's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Dont give up. I did my practicum in nursing school in L&D, but moved after graduation so I did not have a job in L&D right after graduation. I worked in NICU for about 10 months before transferring to L&D. I talked with the nurse manager ...

9. Everything I do is wrong!

   JessiD replied to teensmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It sounds like your unit is very unsupportive. If the nurse said she was going to be his assistant it was fitting that she was helping him by massaging the uterus. Although, it would have been good for you to be involved in that sort of situation ins...
