we lost a baby today

[Cindy-OB RN/CCE]

We lost a baby today. My first and the doctors first. Strip looked great all the way. No one knows what happened. It was devastating for all involved. The poor parents were in shock along with the staff. I can't imagine that this will ever get easier.

Latex free gloves!!! Wouldn't it be nice if that's all it took to fix all the issues at hand..................... (no pun intended)

God, this is such a travesty. I don't understand is any way , shape or form, given what you have described, why ANYone would even consider treating you this way.. SOMETHING is amiss....

Cindy, I am truly sorry for the loss. I must say it don't get much easier. Just take each day at a time and know that these things happen for a reason, even though you don't realize what the reason is at this particular time. I have been doing L&D for about 10 years, and yes it still gets me. My dad always told me, " when it no longer gets to you, its time to get out." Take care.
