I wished I had the extra long gloves.? I was a bit concerned about going out to dinner last night that I might not have scrubbed enough after the delivery. Its incredibly odd not being able to see what you are doing when the head crowns, being disoriented when you try to figure out which way is down for the anterior shoulder, but no tears, EBL of 100 at most and a great baby. BTW, if the goal is to get out of the tub to deliver the placenta, I would caution against doing anything to the cord clamp.? It looked like a massacre in the tub when I just moved the clamp a bit.

AFI of 37, bilateral hydronephrosis with right ureteral obstruction. The local midwives really didn't feel comfortable doing this delivery.? Their regs say they need to consult with an MD for poly.? I brought her in for amniotomy with needle. I've been (ready for flames) been thinking about water birth for a while, since I've been watching a whole host of midwifery 'propaganda' movies recently.? We have a birth tub but no policy.? She got in the tub for labor and with the CDM help we had a water birth.? That situation totally flies in the face of AWHONN standards and protocols. Glen ?
