Thank you. Yes, I was looking for which resources are helpful in making these decisions. I know it would be nice if I could just ask you guys to tell me what to do! But I'm a little smarter than...
I need some direction. I graduated with my BSN in 2000 and have been very happy as a staff nurse since then (currently in L&D). I have always worked in Women's Health and would like to maintain...
Did she have prenatal care? Why did the OB stop her labor, and how? These are questions that are important to know. There are many. We can't offer legal or medical advice here, only support. But...

On the floor where I used to work we did TAs (therapeutic abortions). At one time we did them up to 24 weeks, but by the time I left anything over 20 weeks was subject to a board review. That being...
You can have her look up Dr. Anthony Johnson in NC. He is one of the foremost practitioners in this field. That said, I do agree with another poster that ultrasound weights can be off. She needs to...
I went from a gyn/gyn onc floor to L&D. It was a great transistion. I knew some of the nurses from transfers to the floor and from being a charge nurse. The others I met along the way. I...
A couple of years ago we had a grand new Women's Hospital built onto our hospital. They took away PP beds and added them to L&D. At the time I was working on GYN and there was a lot more PP...

Here's my story: DH and I are at a crossroad. I have a profession where I could get a job in about any city. I do love L&D and the hospital I'm at. However, I'm young and can move. DH is...
I think I may have this. I know as nurses, we aren't licensed to give diagnoses. But I was just wondering if anybody out there had experience with this, and if so, what as a nurse who works on her...
Does sound like the MD might have been having a bad day. Well who knows? But I know that I ask questions and always double check call orders that are close (and this one, depending on your unit, could...

Thanks for all your replies! It's reassuring to know that others have seen prolonged 2nd stages w/good outcomes. I just wonder what the attending meant when he said that over 3 hrs leads to...
