I know that I really didn't have to do anything for my baby to just slide on out. <br /><br />It is true that doctors get paid either way. One of my papers, though, has the nurse's name that delivered my baby. I thought that was cool and funny!Elizabethhttp://thedoubleds.typepad.com/speculative_speculum/#tpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-18046990932951195912010-05-22T11:40:23.618-05:002010-05-22T11:40:23.618-05:00Oh, wow!

I learn something new every day. :) Kudos to those ladies and to you for presenting them with a choice. I guess it is good to breathe through a few to facilitate slower crowning despite when the doctor is arriving. ;)apvegmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11396874906754202595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-54969431135325016862010-05-21T07:50:23.243-05:002010-05-21T07:50:23.243-05:00But, I do want to add, that generally, if a baby i...But, I do want to add, that generally, if a baby is coming that fast, there isn't usually a problem. And it was a matter of 1-2 contractions these women "blew" through. I'll say, I never thought the discussion would go down this path after posting about a couple of awesome births!Nurse Lochiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137987823813922532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-89306952406473949742010-05-21T07:02:57.343-05:002010-05-21T07:02:57.343-05:00Doc's get paid for the delivery whether or not...Doc's get paid for the delivery whether or not they do the catching or not. It's nice to have them there just in case there is a shoulder dystocia...I have had patients where the doc almost didn't make it in time and I was thankful afterwards that they did - bad, bad shoulder dystocia that I am not trained to handle as an RN. Doc's are trained in all those maneuvers, and even in a couple of those cases, it was a LONG time waiting for those shoulders!Nurse Lochiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137987823813922532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-13257438073395578912010-05-20T20:56:27.812-05:002010-05-20T20:56:27.812-05:00I was told by EMTs and nurses not to push, which u...I was told by EMTs and nurses not to push, which upset me, but it hurt to push and my body was doing it anyway. I have heard stories (grandma's generation) about women being forced to cross their legs and wait for the doc. The babies suffered brain damage sometimes. Call me cynical, but I have to think that being told to wait until the doctor arrives has to do somewhat with the doctor's big "pay" off.apvegmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11396874906754202595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-4696779944857928772010-05-20T10:30:30.824-05:002010-05-20T10:30:30.824-05:00I'm so glad I found your blog.

And my poor husband got to be the only one there as the baby was out to her ears before the ambulance arrived. :) I really did not want to push, believe me, but my body was doing it's own thing. <br /><br />Thanks for a great blog and doing such a service to the women in your hospital.NHMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01889524559483656336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-45854201854837183222010-05-19T13:21:50.915-05:002010-05-19T13:21:50.915-05:00We're supposed to do what we can to get the do...We're supposed to do what we can to get the doc there for delivery. I don't tell moms not to push, I refuse to holler "NO, don't push!" like some do, sometimes the baby is coming no matter what...I tell them that if they want their doc/midwife there, and if they are able to hold off, then the doc/midwife will deliver. If they can't not push/or don't care if their doc/midwife is there, then she can do what every fiber is her body is telling her to do. These women really wanted their docs there...most women don't care who catches the baby at that stage and go ahead a push, or their body does it for them and there's no stopping. I know that if it were me in that situation, there's no way I wouldn't push, but this way I've given the women their options and I've told them that it's likely the doc/midwife won't be there if they push. And that way, no one can accuse me of intentionally having mom push so I could deliver the baby.Nurse Lochiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137987823813922532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-86181228812963799642010-05-19T13:10:13.628-05:002010-05-19T13:10:13.628-05:00Why do you tall them not to push?Why do you tall them not to push?NHMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01889524559483656336noreply@blogger.com
