The last few deliveries I have seen or heard of the doc was very impatient and acted as if they had better things to do. That attitude frustrates me to no end, but sadly I will have to keep bitting my tongue if L&D is what I want to do. It was a very productive day! <BR/><BR/>BTW, I am loving the blog, I only just found this great way to kick back and relax and read about other people's days. I am loving yours!Somenursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993829987747165967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-9426213407392799282008-02-21T20:39:00.000-05:002008-02-21T20:39:00.000-05:00What will you do to help your depressed new-mother...What will you do to help your depressed new-mother (of 4!) get through the post-partum period?<BR/><BR/>I'm a bit mystified why someone who is depressed would want to take on a new baby -it's an awfully big challenge even for the cheerful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-39037989496024401072008-02-19T13:59:00.000-05:002008-02-19T13:59:00.000-05:00I am so happy to hear you had a good day. I think...I am so happy to hear you had a good day. I think it's great how you helped women that day with births they chose. It's wonderful for an OB to do that. I know my OB has her opinion on things, but she's always supported my decisions when it's safe. Unfortunately, coming from a large group with on call docs, and that I have babies at night often...and quickly once I'm there usually, I have yet to have my OB catch a baby of mine. I've never had an OB there for the pushing stage. I did have the yelling RN's this last delivery. I hated it, but couldn't say anything as I was busy with their demands. They even said, "you can do this, you've done it so many times before." I WAS doing it, didn't need them to tell me what to do. When baby was OP none of the pushing was doing anything. OB on call declared baby "high" even though I was only 10 minutes from delivery...all the pushing was just putting baby up against my pelvis or whatever it was doing. No progress...still high and floating. Then, when he told the nurse I could move, it was 10 minutes and bam, baby went from being "up high" to born. I think you OB's are in a tight spot often, between nurses who follow hospital rules and style and patients who have their wishes. If you're old school and medical interventionalists, nurses probably fight you as do patients, if you are more toward patients letting their bodies work, you probably get flack for that or see how you are undermined there. You get blamed for things the nurses do, or for what the patients don't understand. I'm sure it's tough. You actually remind me of my OB (why I've stuck with her) as she is very caring and cautious when she feels she should be. I don't always agree with her, but she lets me do what I think is best if it's still appropriate. She respects my choices. Still, because an OB has missed delivery the last three times and nurses have caught, I may go with a midwife if I ever get pregnant again. We'll see...<BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/>DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-53156246124166698522008-02-18T17:08:00.000-05:002008-02-18T17:08:00.000-05:00It's lovely that you posted about your wonderful d...It's lovely that you posted about your wonderful day, thank you!<BR/><BR/>I had an endometrial ablation about three years ago.
