Mother & Baby at NEMC

My client, a 25 yo mother, was C-sected at midnight and had no c/o pain. On post-partum assessment, the fundus felt just like the tennis ball in the dummy!! Her FC had been removed at 11 am and she was encouraged to void (RN to measure x3, in/out cath if no void by 6 pm). Baby was healthy with red marks on the back of the neck, mongolian spots on sacrum, and a nice large formed green/gray mixed stool during examination:) Day 2 she was moving great with no c/o pain. I was able to teach her about newborn and post-partum care during discharge. Mother and baby went home at 3:30. I went to Nursery Duty, gave a shot of Hbig to a 4 1/2 lb baby and watched another get her tummy suctioned. Overall a good experience.
