Guest guest Posted December 19, 1999 Report Share Posted December 19, 1999 Sue, I'll trade ya, I had the nightmare 21 year old G4P3 all other children had been taken away from her. she also had 2 younger siblings both were pregnant with her along with their boyfriends ect. plus their parents heck there were so many there I'm not sure if the neighbors dog wasn't there too. each now has told me their own personal experiences in our hospital....all psych admissions. at one time grandma gets mad and says she should take her home to deliver because she helped with puppies before she could easily deliver a baby. now this is all just an hour into my shift.....boy that clock was moving slow! now the fun really starts with all the questions,and comments like be careful your not holding the baby right your not doing this or that right then at one point when changing the baby she says to me be careful your going to hurt the baby. that did it I snapped I very calmly said look this is a hospital and you take care of sick people or people that need help. do you really think we would do something to hurt you or your baby? and I have to go back to this tonight.....I can only hope for early discharge, or at least days got social services in there. thanks for letting me vent!!! its bed time now Alcie " growing old is mandatory growing up is optional " [OBnurses] Full Moon > > > > > > > > > > > Hi all, > > > I just received this from one of my co-workers.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 1999 Report Share Posted December 19, 1999 Social Services come in on a WEEKEND????? We would end up keeping the baby, dc'ing mom and awaiting a social service consult for Monday, unless we could get a temporary hold from HRS/Children's and Families on the baby. Just curious, who had her other kids??? Hopefully not the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 1999 Report Share Posted December 19, 1999 It was something else at our hospital, too! Gay Marie Having the courage to ask for what you want is half the battle.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 1999 Report Share Posted December 19, 1999 no the other 2 were in foster care. But what greets me as I walk in the door last night? 5 of the family. the grandma told me the whole nasty story of how the other 2 were taken away. now to show you what I was dealing with grandma says we want to spend as much time as we can with this baby in case they take him away too. and here is a real kick in the tail the mom says I'm not going to have my tubes tied because if they take this one away I can have another. all I can say is thank goodness she is out of there today Alcie " growing old is mandatory growing up is optional " Re: [OBnurses] Full Moon > From: Kemper1974@... > > Social Services come in on a WEEKEND?????

Guest guest Posted December 19, 1999 Report Share Posted December 19, 1999 Alcie, This one made me laugh : ) It sounds like you work at my place!! This describes a good many of our patients. One of my favorite questions is the old " Will this medicine hurt my baby? " ( " Not as much as the crack did " ) [OBnurses] Full Moon > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > I just received this from one of my co-workers.
