I would label your header to something related to OB's so it attracts their attention. ...Just thinking it'll get you more answers/traffic.

I think you should know that many people here don't like doing others' homework. Why don't you go on on your own and just look into google for some hints.

Good luck,

That was a rude reply....If you did not want to answer you could have skipped the post rather than speak for others on this board.

I am looking for an EXPERIENCED OB nurse and this is why I can't just type it into google. Also no one is doing my homework for me because your answers I have to research the topics and support your answers. So I really could use help it'll take you a total of two minutes to respond and then it'll take me at least a week to put together. I would really appreciate it if someone could answer me back!!!

Okay, I'm an ob nurse and I really question some of the things that go on at my hospital.

1. Inductions because it is more convenient for the pt or dr-often ending in c-sections

2. My hospital has at least a 50% c-section rate-often for the dr's convenience, no one is in distress, just easier.

3. Pitocin use in every delivery

4. The intervention rate, 24/7 monitoring, fetal scalp electrodes, intrauterine pressure devices, etc.

5. at my hospital, we do not let c-section pts do skin-to-skin with baby

Good luck on your project.

Do you mean no skin to skin in the OR or at all??

That's right, no skin-to-skin in the OR or in recovery. Usually pts don't get to see the baby for about 4 hours.

YIKES they don't even see the baby for four hours? I work at a baby friendly hospital so we are big on skin to skin but we don't do it in the OR mostly b/c of the low temps. But baby stays with mom in OR until shortly before transfer to RR. Then mom in is RR for about a half hour (if no complications) while baby goes to nursery for shots, etc. Then both are reunited and skin to skin/breastfeeding is encouraged. Total time apart is ideally a half hour.

Wow! That is horrible....what about nursing couples? How does that impact nursing at your facility? Do you think that it has a negative impact? Can a mother request her baby while in recovery if she wants to nurse or just wants to bond?
