  1. Running into the room for every D-cel

    CEG replied to waterfall99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am student so bear with me... I am thinking variability is irregular fluctuations between 5-25 bpm. As opposed to decels which would be a decrease of at least 15 bpm for at least 15 seconds. So...

  2. Running into the room for every D-cel

    CEG replied to waterfall99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What I witnessed was a patient experiences a decel and everyone sitting around the desk looks at the monitor. Nurse goes in the room and changes position/adds O2. Residents run in, do a lady partsl...

  3. Elective Primary C/S

    CEG replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually the infant mortality rate hasn't changed significantly since the 1980's, aside from slight fluctuations. It certainly hasn't improved relative to the rise in the number of c-sections. We...

  4. Running into the room for every D-cel

    CEG replied to waterfall99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's the same way at the place I did my clinical. It made me crazy and set the moms on edge since as far as the residents and nurses were concerned those babies were on the brink of death. Of course...

  5. Pregnant but Negative Urine Preg?

    CEG replied to RunnerRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would tend to agree that it probably negatively affects the body to be on the pill for a really long time, but actually the suppression of ovulation and it's associated hormones has been found to...

  6. NRP Classes

    CEG replied to USC2001's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I took NRP at The Farm in Tennessee. I think they offer it a few times a year. Their website The Farm would have more

  7. Emergency C/S with local anesthetic only

    CEG replied to kathiecnm's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She probably waited because she didn't want a c-section. Most people believe that if they show up far enough along the doc will go ahead and deliver. I can't imagine how traumatic a c-section under...

  8. Prenatals???

    CEG replied to Jocie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From personal experience I would recommend a midwife rather than an OB/GYN. Natural foods stores tend to have a huge selection of prenatal vitamins. I am not sure how the RX and OTC ones differ but...

  9. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    CEG replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually it all comes out BEFORE delivery I can attest to that. The castor oil has to do its magic first to actually put you into labor. I just remembered being told that a baby boy makes mom...

  10. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    CEG replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a friend that did this and it worked for her. So I tried it and I went into labor (strong contractions 3-4 minutes apart) about 2.5 hrs later. I think there is a scientific basis in the effect...

  11. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    CEG replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for all that info, hijack or not. I do not vax my kids but am in nursing school and get a lot of funny looks for my views on

  12. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    CEG replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a note to the side thread- most of the people ill in these disease outbreaks ARE vaccinated. It has nothing to do with the unvaccinated people. Also, if you do some historical research you will...

  13. Doula services for Fetal Demise, Miscarriage, Stillbirth

    CEG replied to SuzieQ_Scrapper's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are some organizations that offer services like bereavement photography. I don't know if their services are volunteer or if they are paid for their time, but it might be worthwhile to find out...

  14. Doula services for Fetal Demise, Miscarriage, Stillbirth

    CEG replied to SuzieQ_Scrapper's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it's a great idea. Remember that the woman also doesn't know the nurse she is getting and probably doesn't know her doctor really well. Having someone who's sole goal is to take care of her...

  15. Those Baby Shows

    CEG replied to LiveZen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, a "natural" way to stop PPH is to breastfeed and massage the fundus. But I am guessing the that that midwife and most others, like mine, would use pitocin, cytotec, IV fluids, and have someone...

  16. 60# weight gain throughout preg

    CEG replied to blee1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know about with twins, but I gained about 60# with my first and about 45# with my second. My CNM was not concerned as I exercised regularly and ate healthy. I also lost the weight quickly....

  17. Epi Question - Stops working at 9 cm?

    CEG replied to Redlady's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a nursing student and doula, my best guess would be that she was just feeling the pressure that comes with baby's descent. The urge to push can be very strong/uncomfortable. I can't think of a...

  18. I didn't know this actually happened

    CEG replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not getting involved in the argument as most people I see here on public assistance are hardworking people or immigrants who are doing what they can to survice. My patients are usually very grateful...

  19. Evidence based practice

    CEG replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have done evidence-based papers on fetal monitoring, use of galactogogues to aid breastfeeding, homebirths, and outcomes of midwife attended deliveries vs md attended deliveries. A good way to...

  20. English Midwife

    CEG replied to Tanvi Tusti's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The American College of Nurse-Midwives (www.acnm.org) has a section for foriegn midwives who want to practice in the US. I think the minimum requirement for licensure is a Master's degree, except for...

  21. Moms who want to feel absolutely NO pain

    CEG replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had to do a double take. My husband thinks he is funny when he says that,

  22. G's and P's question-mom has had twins

    CEG replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, she would be a G2P1002, so is the G2P? the number of term deliveries or the number of living children? Just when I thought I had a grip on this. ETA: According to my nursing text she is a

  23. Oh wise nurses of the world.....

    CEG replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We've resorted to calling some of the larger local hospitals and asking them if they have any OB conferences coming up. It works pretty well, and a lot of times they are free because they are geared...

  24. Nursing Student

    CEG replied to cedargrove's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Same here. My mind knew that I was cleaner with everything the way nature intended... but five days later I just felt cleaner with things "teken care of" down there. Especially when all I got was a...

  25. anyone seeing this maneuver?

    CEG replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I looked up Ritgen's maneuver in my Maternal-Child nursing text and found it to be applying downward pressure to the chin after the head had been born. Perhaps these residents are confused? Nothing...
