baby girl

Today is the last day of my obstetrics cycle. I’m very glad coz, we don’t have to sit for the credit test, and instead we went and witness a vaginal delivery. Well, I really want to thank GOD for this opportunity to have me be the witness for such an event. When we reached the classroom, our teacher came and asked us to be ready with our mask, secondary shoes, and medical cap. There was a woman, with approximately 6 cm of cervix dilatation. Well, a normal delivery would require approximately 10 cm for labor.
So, off we went to the pre- delivery room. We saw the woman, was actually resting on the bed. After and hour of waiting, the woman started to yell. She was then sent for vaginal delivery. Earlier on, our teacher, who was the doctor on duty, performed amniontomy on the patient.
What is amniotomy?? Short description here…Amniotomy is a simple procedure which can be used alone for induction of labor if the membranes are accessible, thus avoiding the need for pharmacological intervention.Amniotomy is frequently performed on women who labor in hospitals for the purpose of speeding up their labors, The procedure is simple: a hospital attendant inserts an instrument like a crochet hook through the cervix, and snags and breaks the amniotic sac
Probably is because of the amniotomy, the woman felt extra pain, when the vaginal examination was done. After the examination, the nurse asked her to go back to her bed and wait. Poor woman, she was in great pain, when the cervix started to dilate little by little in approximately each 2 min, and she just got to bear with such pain for few hours. She was given the spasmolytics – Noshpa, intramuscularly. After, 3 hours, approximately 12.45 pm, the woman was sent to the delivery room, and was prepared for labor.
We were there with her, anticipating seeing the newborn. She pushed very hard, the first time, the second time, and finally the third time; the baby’s head was finally delivered.
A baby girl!
After sometimes, the placenta was delivered out too. Then, my teacher sewed the tear- perineum.
Wow, what a process!
Everything went on smoothly. Both mother and child are in healthy condition.
Hallelujah!!
