I don't remember many of the nurses looked like, but three of our four were delivered by a male doctor. I will say I remember having a few crabby nurses. And of course what makes it worse is they have to come in every so many hours to check vitals. No sleep was had by anyone, including mom, baby, and dad.
Our second the labor was overnight. Admitted to the hospital around 9-10pm during a nice summer thunderstorm. I know I probably got more sleep than hubby, which wasn't much for me. She was born just before 5am with significant health issues so life got a whole lot crazier after that. The lack of sleep and food and amount of stress gave hubby a horrible migraine. They took him down to the clinic to give him a shot and then tried to get him some rest before he headed off to Omaha later that day (where she had been transported to--lived in Carroll at the time).
I don't think the doctor will be putting on a rubber glove up to their elbow to assist with the birth.
Our fourth grader and his two classes did presentations tonight of people they were interested in. My son did davey Crockett due to the Alamo. Other kids in the room we were in did, Jesse Owens, Walt Disney, Jim Bowie, and John Deere. They gave some life backgrounds, short video, also had to have some “fun” facts.
Son told us one of his buddies said there were no more famous people left after the other 40 kids picked. He wasn’t in our room. So he did his on...............Hitler. Is there anybody worse to do fun facts on than hitler. Think the teacher would have advised that there are better options out there. They had to have something they were known for. My kid had a coonskin cap, Bowie kid was ok’d to bring a replica knife, and such. I just hoped the kid didn’t draw a mustache on.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!!!! Jsb just inform us that her and box are travel companions now??
About to watch someone get arrested as they get off a flight... Plain clothes officers waiting at the gate.
CWW #3?
It isn't far off from that. They wear a medical scrub thing over their scrubs, and put the gloves over top off that so they are basically as protected as the arm length glove.
I don't remember from when you've mentioned this before - but were you aware she would have those issues going into birth or was it a nasty surprise?
Hers was a fun surprise for us. It can be detected at the 20wk anatomy scan, but she was frank breech at the U/S and we saw later in the U/S notes that the abdomen was difficult to view. Guess where her defect is.
If we would have known I would have been considered high risk and would have delivered probably in Omaha to begin with, with a room full of specialists on hand. Des Moines did not a specialized piece of equipment that they sometimes use with babies with her defect (an ECMO machine--basically oxygenates the blood by pumping it outside the body through this machine). She did not end up needing to go on ECMO, but you want it on hand if needed.What thread is this ? I know Pants has hit on her a few times.

wow, I bet things did go very quickly from 0-100 in that room!

Let’s just say, at the moment of delivery, each of the three times, I only prayed they were healthy. We didn’t know the sex or anything of the babies, we were having them no matter what. All I cared about was health.
Carroll is a mid-sized hospital, but not many specialists on hand. She was delivered by our family practice doctor, the birth center did not even offer epidurals because they only staff a nurse anesthetist. The hospital/birth center had JUST gotten an infant respirator--she was the first patient to use it (she did not breath on her own until weeks after birth and surgery). And like I mentioned, it was storming out that night/morning so they could not get life flight in to land. She had to go to Omaha by ground.
Given all that, I had a friend in town who gave birth a little while after she was born. Their baby had to go under the oxygen tent for a few hours after birth because of some breathing difficulties. She says to me, "Gosh, now I know JUST how you felt!" I probably just smiled and then mentally slapped the **** out of her.
