I'm sure it's so hard to see it so often, but sometimes it turns them cold.<br /><br />My main nurse during delivery of my Cora (we had confirmed it the day before and I was induced) cried with me and took me in her arms when I broke down sobbing while trying to push. I'll never forget her.<br /><br />((hugs))Brittaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163482845611038936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299081402172544281.post-62799317016525050502010-03-23T00:03:03.341-07:002010-03-23T00:03:03.341-07:00Hi, I want to thank you that you are a caring midw...Hi, I want to thank you that you are a caring midwife... I lost twins still-born at 32 weeks. The midwives were horrible to me even swearing at me. I wasn't allowed to see my girls. 41 years later, I still grieve and have regrets that I could have been more forceful in making them show them to me. (They weren't deformed) I was 16 years old. I thank God that there are caring medical staff like you. Somehow, reading this was healing. Blessings.

I got close to some of the people on L&D, so I spent a lot of time up there. <BR/><BR/>One evening I was off the floor when there was a code up there. We responded to all codes except code Browns... ;)<BR/><BR/>I made it onto the floor in time to watch a woman who just delivered triplets die. It chokes me up every time it comes to mind.<BR/><BR/>That, too, was rough.DJKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077813900350300205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299081402172544281.post-87308278897599743822008-07-11T02:58:00.000-07:002008-07-11T02:58:00.000-07:00are there no ventilators at the hospital you work ...are there no ventilators at the hospital you work at for babies born this young? or no nicu at all? i was transported to one an hour away...thankfully i could hold on that long, so that my 24 weeker could be born at a level III NICU. <BR/><BR/>poor girl...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299081402172544281.post-4842538040452576192008-06-29T18:33:00.000-07:002008-06-29T18:33:00.000-07:00As a brand new nursing student who wants to be a l...As a brand new nursing student who wants to be a labor and delivery nurse, this is my worst fear.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325659103684003144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299081402172544281.post-77571726383885145632008-04-01T13:59:00.000-07:002008-04-01T13:59:00.000-07:00Losing a patient is never easy....I can't imagine ...Losing a patient is never easy....I can't imagine it being a 24 week old baby.

With no urge to push, feeling of pressure, or signs of impending delivery, the md was facing the table putting on gloves when the pt started projectile vomiting all over me and herself. You can guess the rest... After 'retrieving' the baby (it was a forceful delivery to say the least), we were stunned that the baby was moving and had a heartbeat. The new year shift will never be the same.
