diane227, LPN, RN 1,941 Posts Specializes in Management, Emergency, Psych, Med Surg. Has 32 years experience. Apr 13, 2009 This story tells me absolutely that I made the right decision not to do OB after graduation, but I did however deliver a few babies in the ED. I had a guy come in one day saying that his wife was in the car having a baby. He told me that all their babies came quick. He cannot remember where he parked his car. This was a huge hospital and there were multiple sites where a person could park. We started waking around the building and finally found his car. The wife was in the front seat, holding the baby between her legs. I felt so bad for her husband. He felt so bad. But the mother and baby were fine.
