    jarrn03 replied to Lola77's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. How hard do you work to remove all vernix?

    jarrn03 replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. Replacing amniotic fluid to raise HR

    jarrn03 replied to kbclary4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    jarrn03 replied to stephera's topic in Ob/Gyn

    jarrn03 replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn
