  1. Why all the rag on technology in L&D??

    CEG replied to deann52's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    :yeahthat: I had the chance to meet Marsden Wagner and hear him speak at a conference recently- very interesting issues he raises, particularly with his background as an MD and working for the...

  2. Home birth vs. hospital

    CEG replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am planning a homebirth for my next child. Watching countless babies welcomed into the world to lay on a warmer alone for an hour and get shots and eye meds before they have even been on the breast...

  3. offered and accepted Triage and L&D position

    CEG replied to Gennaver's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Gen, You may remember me from the Direct Entry thread of so long ago. If you don't mind sharing where you got hired, I am also looking for a job in the area and am looking for midwife/patient...

  4. Why all the rag on technology in L&D??

    CEG replied to deann52's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Point taken about the NICU, but it is incorrect to say that babies in other countries born at early gestations count as miscarriages- there is a precise definition of neonatal, perinatal, maternal,...

  5. Why all the rag on technology in L&D??

    CEG replied to deann52's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Well, I am only a midwifery student, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I have never met a CNM who turned up her nose at someone who was informed of the risks and benefits of procedures and...

  6. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    CEG replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    That's good for most who are concerned, at least. Unfortunately in our Military Treatment Facility they have the old kind and do not order the thimerosol-free only because the parents request

  7. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    CEG replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind that while companies are no longer producing many vaccines with thimerosol, the shelf like of vaccines is very long and most being currently given still contain it. Also, Hep B vaccine...

  8. I feel so bad

    CEG replied to LovebugLPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't believe I am typing this on a public message board but I am another nipple tweezer with no issues :imbar Just a few dark hairs, but I have never had a problem with ingrown

  9. red raspberry to increase milk supply

    CEG replied to GingerSue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've never heard of RR used to increase milk supply. RR tea is generally used in pregnancy to tone the uterus. The tea is actually made from red raspberry leaves. You have to be careful when buying...

  10. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    CEG replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    Hi I am a MDC'er too!! I mainly lurk, but occasionally jump in. It's amazing the difference in attitude there, vs here, vs a mainstream birth

  11. pulsatilla as a homeopathic remedy

    CEG replied to GingerSue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That book sounds strange. I have only heard of pulsatilla for positioning issues. Also Vitex (chasteberry) affects the estrogen balance in the body and I would think should NOT be taken at all...

  12. side effects of lanolin??

    CEG replied to abracadabra2886's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can you explain this further? Is Lansinoh organic? Otherwise I don't see the

  13. Foley Balloons for cervical ripening?

    CEG replied to RAIZIE's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Mine didn't hurt at all and I went from 1 cm to 4. Is is the placement or the whole time it is in that bothers people? Just curious,

  14. side effects of lanolin??

    CEG replied to abracadabra2886's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I second the wool allergy. I had a doula client who was allergic to wool and so couldn't use

  15. Postpartum care plans

    CEG replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a nursing diagnosis handbook too- it has diagnoses divided by conditions in the front- its by Ackley and Ludwig. I would probably go with risk for ineffective breastfeeding, risk for infection...

  16. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    CEG replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I am a nursing student and my kids are not vaxed. I am "vaxed to the max" given my military service and nursing school. My daughter was fully vaxed until about age 1.5. My son received his 3...

  17. Scheduled induction???

    CEG replied to km5v6r's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is common. Many patients are induced for "dates" at 40 weeks. If a woman is tired of being pregnant and the OB says they will induce early it is hard for them to resist. Personally I think it is...

  18. Foley Balloons for cervical ripening?

    CEG replied to RAIZIE's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Interesting SBE, it was a military CNM who did mine. Also to the PP, it was not at all painful. The worst part was the tape on my

  19. Foley Balloons for cervical ripening?

    CEG replied to RAIZIE's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BTW, I jsut noticed you're in NY. My foley induction was in NY. Maybe it's a regional

  20. Foley Balloons for cervical ripening?

    CEG replied to RAIZIE's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was 42.1 weeks. 1 cm. Induced for postdates obviously:) (the real postdates, not the on the due date postdates we see so much) I had the foley placed along with cytotec around 10 am. Around 2 pm I...

  21. Foley Balloons for cervical ripening?

    CEG replied to RAIZIE's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With my first child I had a foley cath placed, filled with saline by my CNM. Was 4 cm a couple of hours later, AROM. No pitocin at that time- started it

  22. Do you ever deal with pregnant patients who "flip out"?

    CEG replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm digressing a little bit, but if mom said no shots, then no shots, right? When our pregnancies my friend and I got what we called pregnancy rages. Just huge bursts of temper over things that...

  23. Deployments in military nursing

    CEG replied to mistyval's topic in Government, Military

    I am former active duty, currently a reservist, being involuntarily mobilized. I am in nursing school and that did not help me one little bit in terms of being mobilized, although my unit is trying to...

  24. Waterbirth question

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

    I haven't seen a waterbirth yet in the baby factory where I am doing my clinicals but on videos I have seen midwives use a small fish net type thing to remove any unwanted guests in the

  25. Interesting places where women have given birth

    CEG replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would love to UC, I just don't think DH's tolerance could extend to that. After forcing him to read several books and reports he has agreed to a homebirth for our next child. I will hold out hope...
