  1. Pain Meds and Epidural's during laboor

    CEG replied to Act238RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I remember this article- this was an extreme case where the doctor was extremely verbally and physically abuse- using profanity and yelling at the patient and staff. He forced the patient to labor in...

  2. New grad here- Tips on inserting Cytotec?

    CEG replied to Cassideca's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Others might disagree with me on this, but I don't think it matters. Studies have shown Cytotec to be equally effective taken orally. In fact inserted lady partslly it is not working directly on the...

  3. NRP- getting in too deep too fast?

    CEG replied to applesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm surprised to hear the NP said people don't pass. NRP is extremely basic, think CPR for neonates. I wouldn't worry about it at all. In fact I took it for the first time as a nursing student and...

  4. Recovering newborn in OB PACU???

    CEG replied to KimEveRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is how we do ours too. Same set-up and about the same #

  5. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    CEG replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sadly it is not always the

  6. Since we were talking about birth plans....

    CEG replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

    These are all reasonable requests, but at my former facility they would have refused most of them and probably kept baby away longer out of spite. I would talk with your midwives from the BC about...

  7. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    CEG replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Often that is simply not possible- insurance restricts many women in their choice of provider and location. Doctors often tell patients what they want to hear in terms of policies/delivery. Hospital...

  8. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    CEG replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know many other OB nurses hate birth plans but NOTHING you listed there has been shown to improve outcomes. In fact both multiple vag exams and electronic fetal monitoring worsen

  9. When the mother is type O and the infant is type A blood.

    CEG replied to oramar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know this is an old thread but as an FYI midwives give Rhogam. If they are in an area where they are not oracticing legally or able to prescribe I believe Mom just needs it within 72 hours of...

  10. Community hospitals????

    CEG replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We're lucky enough to get our MDs to come in to catch the babies, coming in to discharge labor checks would definitely set them over the

  11. Common wives tales

    CEG replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't have time to read your links but in the past I have heard it explained this way- babies of ethnicities other than caucasian are more likely to be born with lots of dark hair AND their mothers...

  12. Common wives tales

    CEG replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    True! As a woman gets closer to menopause ovulation goes a little haywire. Fraternal twins become more common because while women may not ovulate one month, they may release more than one egg...

  13. Discovered a breech baby for 1st time

    CEG replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually the risks of delivering a frank or complete breech baby lady partslly with a skilled provider are about the same as the risks of a c-section in an otherwise healthy mom/baby. I would not have...

  14. Tips for getting past the Recruiter?

    CEG replied to HeritageRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was thinking the same thing. Or even stroll through the unit and talk to the nurse manager. Good

  15. Help with a Brain Teaser

    CEG replied to Dani8962's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think its unlikely she would reach advanced dilation at that stage in the pregnancy. I have seen pre-termers deliver at 4-5 cm and that's considerably bigger than a first trimester fetus would

  16. Help with a Brain Teaser

    CEG replied to Dani8962's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here is a link detailing HCG levels in pregnancy. It looks like that although they level off they are still incredibly high at the end of pregnancy....

  17. To Bulb Sxn Or Not?

    CEG replied to LD123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At my job they suction everything that moves, bulb, deep suction, nose mouth whatever they can get suction into. At my recent homebirth my baby was not suctioned at all and did just great. I notice...

  18. Breastfeeding and painkillers "will it hurt my baby?"

    CEG replied to Conejita's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I say that it is safe for two reasons: 1) these drugs are used in infants and children for pain relief so if some gets to the baby it it safe 2) the amount that gets to the baby is so small that it...

  19. Stirrups?

    CEG posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just curious how many use stirrups for delivery? I am a relatively new nurse and just started OB at a new hospital. I am surprised by the fact that everyone- epidural, no epidural, etc delivers in...

  20. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    CEG replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :yeahthat: I think we might work together... I agree with you on

  21. Anterior lips and future deliveries

    CEG replied to Chixie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually my hospital (a large teaching hospital) does VBACs after more than one c-section. There is no evidence that it is any more dangerous as long as the mom remains low-risk in other

  22. Does a CNM do post-partum repairs?

    CEG replied to justme1972's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    :yeahthat:

  23. The skinny on working nights

    CEG replied to UNC_nurseL&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work nights and I am surprised to find I like it. I would never have described myself as a night person but rarely do I get tired at work. I work 3-12's so the first day off is a little tougher- I...

  24. Exams

    CEG replied to KT-Jay731's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why not try checking your own cervix to get a feel for what it is like? A non-pregnant cervix and a pregnant cervix are very different animals but it might give you an idea. I checked my cervix for...

  25. Hispanic patients

    CEG replied to RNfromMS's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OT but when my first child was born I was breastfeeding her at a work picnic and was just finishing and putting a pacifier in her mouth when my boss's (Puerto Rican) husband walked by and commented...
