  2. Coaching women during childbirth has little impact

    OzMW replied to URO-RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly what she said.........:yeah:Why do women need to be "coached" to push a baby outta their lady partss? Oh that'd be because they're numb from the waist down and stuck on their backs on a...

  3. Wedged baby during C/S

    OzMW replied to lapink55's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You see it needed sometimes with second stage sections if the PP is low in the pelvis. These sections are bad news as dragging that baby through the pelvis can extend the angles of the uterine...

  6. Vitamin K administration legal/ethical nightmare!

    OzMW replied to IndigoCarmine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How come this isn't done in the delivery suite in front of the parents? So do the parents not get to see the first bath? The parents and the baby are actually separated so admission procedures can be...

  10. Vitamin K administration legal/ethical nightmare!

    OzMW replied to IndigoCarmine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Completely agree with you, but I guess I can understand why they do come in waving lawyers letters around (and I of course come from a very different practice setting where litigation isn't as big of...

  11. Vitamin K administration legal/ethical nightmare!

    OzMW replied to IndigoCarmine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So as nurses are we all aware of the facts in relation to vitamin K deficiency bleeding in newborns? Maybe these parents who came armed with the research are the clever ones! I welcome parents who...

  12. Vitamin K administration legal/ethical nightmare!

    OzMW replied to IndigoCarmine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Vitamin K isn't a vaccine, its just that...a vitamin. I'd suspect your ethical /legal dilemma lies in giving a substance to a newborn that the parents have not consented to. Where I am you'd have a...

  17. What do you think? CPD?

    OzMW replied to paintedbison's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Stuff I'd wanna know: where was the head? what were her contractions doing? what was the position? how long was she left from fully dilated? was there lots of

  18. Well baby nursery at night

    OzMW replied to akacyndi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our elective section babes go to recovery with mum and then to the ward on the trolley. They stay beside mum who buzzes when the baby wakes. Emergency sections go to our Special care nursery from OT,...

    OzMW replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    All well said mombabyrn! And we do have the power....we only need to use it for the right purpose.......supporting women. Not the crappy system that feeds them

  20. How to answer questions about doctors and delivery preferences

    OzMW replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    patient choice cs is such a interesting term. here's some research on the subject. health professionals have such an influence on this and then turn around and say "pt choice" and when i say hps i...

  21. How to answer questions about doctors and delivery preferences

    OzMW replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No issue with any of that, my post was unclear obviously. My concern was with the ethics of knowing a woman faces a likely CS (which she doesnt need or maybe want) after her Dr railroads her into it;...

  22. new to l&d...question???

    OzMW replied to Fairy5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Research shows that this is the stuff that exhausts women and causes fetal distress. Encouraging a labouring woman to hold her breath for 10 seconds is potentially detrimental to fetal...

  23. new to l&d...question???

    OzMW replied to Fairy5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Depends on whether they have an epidural. I never count. Gentle encourage with each push. And when they don't have an epidural the best is to leave them push spontaneously, no cheer leading. Just a...

  25. Well baby nursery at night

    OzMW replied to akacyndi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We got rid of our well baby nursery many years ago. I don't think this was a good thing, although there were particular midwives who would automatically send all the babies to the nursery at night for...
