Labor Week

So I got to orient in L&D for a week. It was very cool. I got to help with 9 vaginal deliveries. Yes. This is DEFINITELY what I want to do with the rest of my life! One of the ladies did it without an epidural - by herself. How awesome is she? She didn't even make all that much noise until she was crowning. I was very impressed. As opposed to the lady who did have an epidural, but one that didn't work all that well. She just didn't get complete pain relief in her lower right abdomen. She was screaming so loud that she was scaring the other patients. Labor is definitely different for everyone. I will spare my readers the gory details. So much fun!
