   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=489776&in_page_id=1879 I'm not sure so I thought I would at least post it here.

2. Why do other floors think OB isn't real work?

   Nice2MeetU replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

   My Mom is a 78 year old RN who has been licensed since she was 21 years old...licensed on her 21st birthday, to be exact. Yep, do the math. She works part-time in pediatrics now. And NEVER, EVER, in my life--I'm 45--have I ever seen, heard, or kno...

3. What's the weirdest baby name?

   Nice2MeetU replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I had a teacher named Harry Weiner. My friend had a co-worker named Harry Ball. I almost forgot: the person who worked with Harry Ball worked at a hospital as an alcohol rehab coordinator. She met an OB-GYN from another country while arranging tr...

4. I made my patient cry (long)

   Nice2MeetU replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm not a nurse, but I have some insight regarding this situation. One of my best friends worked for the Attorney General's office in our state capital. She dealt with domestic violence cases from time to time. Of course, be sure you document eve...

5. What would you do?

   Nice2MeetU replied to Nice2MeetU's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thanks to all of you. I have taken steps to get the air cleared with all parties involved, and I think we might be able to at least have a peaceful discussion without too much fighting. I can't ask for more than that. Your insights were helpful. ...

6. What would you do?

   Nice2MeetU replied to Nice2MeetU's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you for your time, consideration, and input. It's a challenging decision in more ways than one, and there are many perspectives I don't know anything about due to my limited life experience in this area. I have a decision to make that will di...

7. What would you do?

   Nice2MeetU replied to Nice2MeetU's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Ok, so I am not totally alone, which is how I have been feeling. ITA because I just get this feeling that I *couldn't* get through it. I mean, I have great respect for those mothers who can make it. But dang, I don't see myself getting through th...

8. What would you do?

   Nice2MeetU replied to Nice2MeetU's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Pain control is an issue for me. I've been reading the thread about epidurals, and there seems to be some very mixed opinion about the use of it in birth. Some posters seem to like it; others feel it is overused; others seem to feel it is a bit dan...

9. What would you do?

   Nice2MeetU replied to Nice2MeetU's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I guess I'm trying not to be offended by your description of birth as bad and horrible and your wondering why women would want to go through it. Clearly you *don't* understand the mentality of women who do it. My four natural births were the most won...

10. What would you do?

    Nice2MeetU replied to Nice2MeetU's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's a definite problem. I couldn't believe how bad the process of childbirth was. It was stunning. And hers was a normal birth. After that night, I have never been able to fathom why anyone would want to go through that process, even once, unles...

11. What would you do?

    Nice2MeetU posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    A few years after I graduated from college, a friend of mine invited me to be one of her supporters at her first birth. Her husband and a few other family members were there, of course. I was flattered. Neither one of us are nurses, but my mother ...
