Why did YOU want a baby?

There are several reasons for having a baby, and as a L&D nurse, I have heard it all. My favorite reason as of late is because "It gives me HUGE knockers, and my 'Johns' love them! Plus I make more money when I have milk". Nice, eh? Poor baby is now in state custody along with her 3 older siblings who were also addicted to meth at birth.


Lovely Labor RN :)

Flying placentas

Have you ever witnessed a flying placenta? I have. Patient had just delivered a baby girl covered in mec, so Doc steps to the table to change gloves for repair. All at once the placenta literally flies out and splats on the floor!! Blood everywhere, the Doc, Me, walls, couch, even poor Grammy's purse ewwwwww. Thank heavens for shoe covers and hospital issued scrubs.
