I work in L&D so let me see if I can help you with this: They look at a mother's H&H post delivery to compare to her pre-delivery H&H which is considered your baseline. Because during a delivery a mother can lose a lot of blood so to ensure the mother doesn't still have a slow bleed or is hemorrhaging they always check to sure the safety of the mother's H&H levels. This way they know if they need to infuse blood or not. Platelets also is checked after the patient is admitted because a lot of times anesthesia does not feel comfortable placing an epidural on a patient if the patient's platelets are below 75-80. Hope this helps.

Try Danskos. I wear them all the time and LOVE them! I believe they have an all white one.

85 miles a day. Twice a week!

My husband bought me an Ultrascope Adult, it works perfectly! And you can customize the Ultrascopes with whatever head and tubing colors you want.

I work in L&D now as a US so I would want to become a L&D Nurse one day and eventually become a Labor and Delivery Clinical Educator.

Due to the restrictions in the program I was just accepted into through my hospital we are required to work 32-36 hours at an absolute minimum to stay in the program. I'm not going to lie, it's a little intimidating but I've heard since there is one lecture day and one clinical day a week that it's doable. Good luck to you!
