So I'm standing out at our front desk talking with the charge nurse about the 32 week triplets that we've been waiting half the night for, when she gets a phone call. I see her face kinda go all pale, eyes get all big, and she says that she'll "be right there". Now I assume that the phone call was from L&D... something about a triplet being out already...
Nope.
The call was from our AP unit. Evidently a Mom who was 28 plus weeks (who was just there for some prolonged monitoring) had felt some gas pains, went to the bathroom, and out dropped baby. Dad actually said that he heard a "thud". Yikes...
So our team rushed up there, brought the baby down... He's doing great so far, on NCPAP +5, 21%. Hopefully his head didn't hit the ground too hard when he fell to the floor...
Now I've heard about babies being born in the toliet, but always term. Anybody else ever had a preterm do this (or something similar)???
