  2. What is the visiting policy in your L&D?

    Zhlake replied to bam_bam's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't have a real firm policy I would say. Generally it is up to the nurses and docs discression. Usually quite a few can be in during labor (4-5 or so) and then during pushing 2-3 can be in...

  3. Wishes Regarding Students in Birth Plans

    Zhlake replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    On my birth preferences sheet I requested no students as well. It wasn't that I was afriad of them doing something to me--I wanted to be as comfortable as possible while in labor and felt that the...

    He is very archaic in many many ways. AND in fact, he retired TODAY. this was his last day. He wanted shave and preps with every labor patient. Always always always did an episiotomy. I was in a...

  10. What comments do you hear from OB's about birth plans?

    Zhlake replied to becca.utns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We still have a doc that does routine enemas---so it is not completely out of line for a mom to put that! For my birth in March, I had a birth preference sheet. Obviously, I knew what things I...

  12. Do you count?

    Zhlake replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really have had great success with open glottis pushing. With an unmedicated or minimal nubain mother, when they feel the urge to push--the only advice I give them is to go with what feels right to...

  13. Question about HCG levels

    Zhlake replied to prettypaws's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With both of my pregnancies I had bleeding from 5-12 weeks. Whenever I would try to get some reassurance online--I would always hear from women who spotted once or twice. But I bled continusouly...

  14. Need info on colposcopy-please help

    Zhlake replied to Michelle_nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Nearly all dysplasia is caused by HPV. It is funny you posted this. I had a LEEP today to take care of dysplasia. I had a bad pap during pregnancy, biopsy after I delivered and LEEP today to get...

  15. Do you count?

    Zhlake replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did use open glottis pushing when I pushed out Brenna (my 9 pounder) in March of this year. And my 9 pounder Gavin 3 yo ago now that I think about it! (Neither one with an epidural either) I am...

  16. Do you count?

    Zhlake replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What I was trying to point out is that research shows that open glottis pushing is more effective and better for the mom and baby. There is no need to old your air in--this would be closed glottis...

  17. Do you count?

    Zhlake replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here are some articles to read on directed pushing: "Women will be encouraged to use exhalatory open glottis pushing versus forced pushing or Valsalva maneuver and discouraged from using prolonged...

  18. Do you count?

    Zhlake replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I never ever count for moms that have not had medication or very little of it. Their bodies know how to push better than I can teach them. For moms with epidurals I do usually count since they...

  19. Do You Home Launder Your Scrubs

    Zhlake replied to Stephanieoder's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We wash our scrubs at home and wear the scrubs in. For C/S we wear hospital washed scrubs. We buy our own

  20. Fact or Fiction? Father beats up RN w/o badge

    Zhlake replied to LauraLou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That is our policy as well. No carrying the babies in the halls--can be in crib

  21. Can you get hired into L&D right out of nursing school?

    Zhlake replied to Natalieboo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was hired into L&D right out of school. I know some hospitals do not hire new grads for labor

  22. Crash Sections

    Zhlake replied to Mofe'ny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well the only thing she mentioned was asking to not be offered pain medication at all and then said "you know the type." I don't think there is anything wrong with asking to not be offered pain...

  23. Crash Sections

    Zhlake replied to Mofe'ny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am just wondering what "type" exactly you are referring to? I am due in 8 days and part of my birth preference sheet is "do not offer any pain medications or anesthesia". I was just wondering what...
