    I can totally understand why this is frustrating, but here is the same scenario from the patient's perspective: First pg., started to efface and dilate at 24 weeks, bedrest at home followed by...

  2. Question about Bloody Amniotic Fluid?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to LnDNurse2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I can say that I had a cerclage that tore through my cervix and it was very, very bloody. So that would be my uneducated guess. Hope baby is doing well now, and preventative cerclages placed...

    wannabeL&D73 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

  7. 30 weeks, 1 cm. dilated, betamethasone?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to wannabeL&D73's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    OK, Fergus, you make a pretty good argument--for some reason it carries more weight for me coming from a nurse than my dr., go figure! I too agree with evidence based practice--most of the time. I...

  8. 30 weeks, 1 cm. dilated, betamethasone?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to wannabeL&D73's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you Fergus. I know those are the current recommendations...I guess I just disagree with them, and was hoping some NICU nurses did too, LOL! I had steroids every week for 4 weeks prior to my...
