This made me laugh out loud. How funny, this OB obviously has some issues.

Man, I am so sheltered here in the great Northwest. Not everything is perfect by any means, but I don’t know of a single hospital in Seattle that still puts antiseptic on a mom’s perineum. Even the two epis I’ve seen, they didn’t do that.

I hope they’re thoroughly swabbing down her entire chest with anti-septic and making her wear a face mask before she’s allowed to hold & feed that baby, then!

I really get annoyed when they wash the perineum with antiseptic. Thank you SO much for washing off her natural lubrication so that now she can tear….

What does this genius think is going to happen when he hands the baby to momma, and momma puts her *nipple* in baby’s mouth! OMG, baby might get her COOTIES!

LMAO!!! This one is just funny. Contaminate.. the baby? What difference does it make touching the baby’s head when its half out vs when its all the way out? Unless touching it when its half out means that the germs are automatically going to climb up the baby and into the uterus and give you an infection? Riiiight.

My unrealistic fantasy reaction would be to touch my babies head again and then wipe it on him somewhere.

Sounds like that doc was ready to cut an episiotomy to speed things along.

Um, hello? The baby is SUPPOSED to be colonized with mama’s own flora during birth. Get the antiseptic away from her. And gloves are there on purpose to avoid contaminating the hand inside them. What was he planning to do, keep it?
