We had one last week that delivered within three minutes of arrival... head was out as she transferred from wheel chair to bed! CRAZY!

I also reaching that milestone this year. I am also believe it is unethical to tell a woman in this situation not to push. I know wonderful nurses do this out of fear (of a complication and of getting thier a** chewed out for catching the baby) and honest concern. But laboring women can not control thier bodies when they get to this point anymore we can keep ourselves from throwing up when we have to (you I'm sure can really relate to that right now). I love your approach of explaining that if they need to push thier provider will likely miss the delivery. I usually tell them that thier body knows what it is doing and not to actively push, but not to fight their body either. I'm going to have to keep in mind how you approached it next time I find myself in this situation. <br /><br />Good Job!Aletheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04639814301020489364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-45931786771822216322009-08-15T16:08:04.979-05:002009-08-15T16:08:04.979-05:00Really, it doesn't happen too often that the R...Really, it doesn't happen too often that the RN's have to catch. We don't have residents or anyone in-house 24/7. It happens more at night, you can imagine, because everyone is home sleeping and don't move quite as fast. I also think moms try to wait it out, thinking "ok, this is false labor, I don't want to get up in the middle of the night, so I'll wait it out". Then they are sittin sideways in the wheelchair and crowning when they get in. I also had a mom precip on me because she vomited. Doc was out at the desk, too!Nurse Lochiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137987823813922532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-26289673275695975922009-08-15T13:19:45.572-05:002009-08-15T13:19:45.572-05:00Nice catching job!

I know we have an OB laborist who is in house, down the hall 24/7 and so we're not supposed to do any catching. Somehow though, I've only been a nurse for a year and I've caught 2 1/2 (doc came out after the head was out...) babies. I caught the baby my first delivery "on my own" after orientation b/c the doc did't come fast enough and mom puked (great valsalva!!). Then I caught another nurses' baby b/c she was just standing there shaking so I put on gloves and did it. I LOVE it!!! I found out really quick that after you catch a baby the next ones are near as scary!! <br />Is there a doc or two who would maybe coach some of the newer nurses through "catcing" a baby? Maybe that would ease some fears...BirthdayNursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962150294351033563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-45133294377959710802009-08-15T01:05:18.351-05:002009-08-15T01:05:18.351-05:00Aah, I always wondered whether as a LD nurse you d...Aah, I always wondered whether as a LD nurse you did the regular catching or not, not being familiar with the US qualifications and whether midwives had extra training and were employed. I hear more about LD nurses than midwives (CNMs or CPMs).<br /><br />Nice work on the catch. A quickie like that is always nice as long as Mum is not screaming in panic. I had a quickie last week where earplugs were needed and my ears were ringing! Nice birth though.Laura Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299523378009842115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-79293266458182992262009-08-14T22:41:25.036-05:002009-08-14T22:41:25.036-05:00wow that was facinating...your job sounds exciting...wow that was facinating...your job sounds excitingLivingDeadNursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330559010315448255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-73666080270662504672009-08-14T20:56:08.953-05:002009-08-14T20:56:08.953-05:00How cool that you delivered a baby!
