I would like to announce that I have just missed 2 deliveries in a row...yes TWO. The first was in no way my fault. The pt arrived complete and delivered within several minutes. The second wasn't ENTIRELY my fault. The nurse says, "she just went from 6 to complete so quickly" um yeah, she said she took quite a bit of cohosh...who knows what she's going to do...plus this isn't her first baby...uhhhh! What is a midwife to do with these nurses. I had called 1.5 hrs prior and was told the pt wasn't really contracting and would probably need pitocin and then this....GRRRR.
And now on to our regularly scheduled fall decor:
Up first a few outdoor shots (we have a cute little flag as well but it was too dark to see it well)
Before I go. I realize that if I had just stayed at the hospital the entire time my patient was there I wouldn't have missed that second delivery. This patient had frustrated me quite a bit earlier in the day and I wasn't really looking forward to hanging out with her, if you know what I mean. I do however find it ironic that I called just a bit before to check on her (intuition) and was told everything was A OK and not to worry she wasn't doing much of anything...lession learned, trust MY instinct and don't listen to those nurses from afar!
