Thank you so much. You both have been such a great help. I appreciate everything. Nurses Are The Best!

Thank You so much Fergus! You have been such a great help! Thank You!

Thanks Fergus, that helpeed alot. I think I actually had that in giving birth to my first son. As I said before, my doctor wasn't very good at explaining anything. He didn't even ask if my husband wanted to cut the cord. I saw hime once during my whole pregnancy. But, thanks to him, I will be speaking up when this child is born. One more thing, I plan on having an epidural. Should I still ask for the heparin/saline lock?

I am not a nurse. Nor could I ever be one. I can't handle blood. But as I go into my second pregnancy, I wanted to learn more about the different things that happens in the birthing room (LDRP). The first OB I had was really bad. If it weren't for the nurses I would have been totally lost. I printed out some questions to go over with my new doctor. One of the questions states " If I need an IV, I would like to use a heparin or saline lock." I have looked every on the web and I can't find out what this is. Can someone help me out. Do I want one of these?
