None of our patients were allowed to eat cause if a c-section needed to be done or if the patient got knocked out somehow, aspirated stomach contents is never a good thing to deal with. That still didn't stop some of our patients from secretly eating whoppers...they hid the sandwich then left the wrappers in plain site and with whopper breath denied having eaten the food. did I mention these weren't the most compliant of patients?
OT, while I don't recommend you staring at the exit door for long periods of time (it will only give you PTSD), at least take a peak when the kid's head is finally out since the rest comes out fairly quickly and my male classmates said that was the best part to watch when their kids were born. But then again my dad says the best place to be is not in the delivery room...he can't stand the sight of blood and bodily fluids.
Hmmm...reading my posts I just realized why my mom and my bro's mother in law made me promise on my life and future success not to tell my sister in law anything about what I have seen and learned in medical school about babies and having them. She may never have another kid if I share.
