Was the OB upset that the nurse referred to him/her as a baby?!?!
(Wow, this site really brings out the snarkiness in me!)

How? Say what? I don’t even… that’s just SO ignorant!

It would be more accurate to say trying to birth flat on your back is bad because it’s backwards and it confuses your uterus. Ha!

When these comments are made – either they think we’re stupid, or they are stupid.

You can’t deliver in any other position than lithotomy because it will confuse the nurses!!!!

Uh huh. ‘Cause the baby has done this before, and would recognize the differences?

This is my all-time favorite… so far.

Hahaha – laughed at the first comment – but seriously, was the OB upset that the nurse called him a baby?

I have not laughed at any of these becasue they were too sad but this one is just perfect. THANKS for sharing.

Whacky.
That’s the only way I was the slightest bit comfortable – in the hospital. 8-S

['specially for baby]

OMG Moron alert

When I went to experience a birth centre in Florida, a lady told me her OB had said that for every day she refused induction of labour, the baby’s chances of developing down syndrome were increased. Speechless!

With a constant stream of new nursing graduates, it is a constant teaching process. They were blown away yesterday when I helped a pregnant woman get into position on her knees–to help get the pressure off her back. More blown away when I delivered a vaginal breech. (I know the WOMAN delivers it)

I love it when I ask them–is she having a contraction? they look at the monitor!! Have to teach them to actually put their hand on the uterus.

We were all young once–and ALL of us–EVERY SINGLE ONE of us has said things that they may regret later or didn’t come out right.

Use the opportunity to teach someone–it goes a long further than belittling them–this includes nurses and doctors—they may get a positive experience with it and pass on the information to the next generation.
