   Thank you for well wishes, But I am not rushing out to the hospital just yet. I was just reading all the post on here about people "crying wolf" that they were in labor, when they are barely dilated. I don't want to be one of "them" LOL.

5. Overdue baby testing?

   burger914 replied to burger914's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I realize that 2 weeks either way from your due date is the norm. And most first babies are closer to the 41-42 week mark. I was more concerned with the health then the actual date, because I read the other post about the non-stress test. This mornin...

    Hello, I am sorry to bother all you OB-Nurses with a personal question, but I am confused. Yesterday, I had cramping all day, menstrual like cramps. They were not painful, just uncomfortable. Also, had bad heartburn and some nausea. The cramps are go...

    congrats on passing the boards and on the baby!! I do agree with the other posters..ignorance is bliss. I am not an Ob-Nurse, but I do remember my rotation quite well. The female body is made to give birth. I remember being so amazed and blown away b...
