taking baies away from mom at deliveryFrom: Babycatchers@aol.comThu Jun 22 19:26:02 2006
Not always are true. My niece had her baby a week ago and the baby never left the room, until they were discharge. It was a tertiary center in Kansas. She breast fed and held the baby for the fist 30 min before the nurses had to give the Vit K and erythromycin. But baby was always in the room under the watchful eye of my sister, a hemoc-oncology pediatric nurse manager. Even she was impressed. Deliveries in our hospital (30-40 del a month) vary some between the OBs deliveries and mine. I give mom the baby and she gets to hold it as long as she wants. The baby is only out of the room for maybe 2-3 minutes to weigh it ( we are getting the radiant warmers with scales, so this won't happen all the time any more). I don't care how the woman labors and have done deliveries standing, squatting and on all 4s. The docs are more traditional. If a patient wants me for delivery, I usually go in no matter who is on call. (kids are in college, so no one misses me). The docs like it because it is one less they have to manage. There are also people who don't want a midwife (they still think I am like the old granny midwives and not professional medical person). I don't mind that either because I have a lot of people who request me and it means I get to sleep. Little by little the docs are learning from me and I learn a great deal from them. It works out great for us. Vicki Vicki Smith, CNM, MSN West Virginia Midwives- changing the world one baby at a time.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
