observation

I am just finishing my first year in an ADN program. We are in an OB rotation. I was at a birth yesterday, the unit was jumping. The charge nurse was helping with a birth, primip ready to push, until the other nurse could come in. Well, there are several people in the room getting ready, My clinical instructor was in there, she is an employee there. The OB is at the nurses station just waiting to be called in. She seems hurried and is moving fast, starts coaching on pushing, cheerleader style (lol), and has her hand in this womans lady partsl opening doing the stretching sweep. She gets a call on her hospital phone, takes the call and talking while she still has the other hand in fussing, briefly stopping conversation to say "thats it. Pushpushpush....." Meanwhile dad is off in corner. I told him he could go be by her side, he did. This poor woman, legs in stirrups, and at her perineum a woman on the phone in one hand, hand in her lady parts with the other. HIDEOUS. I am a doula and was a midwifery apprentice at a birth center. Trying not to be judgemental. I think all these woman working there truly care about the patients, but maybe the pressure and job get to be so great that they forget about the woman giving birth. Your thoughts?:eek:

Hello, just to clarify, I am the original poster of this thread. I am a nursing student, not a doula as of now, and it was a nurse who had her hand in the woman and phone in the other. I don't know if this matters......:)

It matters to me and you are the person to whom I primarily directed my comments. Good luck in school; I wish you the best whatever you do decide.

Thanks for clarifying. I think my original statement, made to you, holds.
