At rrmc this week I was in postpartum care. I had a 1st time mom who delivered a 6lb 5 oz baby girl. I enjoyed helping her because it gave me opportunity to teach her in several areas. She was very appreciative and receptive to the information. She had a C- Sec delivery and was getting around very well, but because of her past exercise habits (3x a week) I felt it important to tell her to not over do it when she gets home. I told her about s/s of infection to look for, breast care because she is nursing, and other stuff too. I was also able to take out her staples and give her a MMR shot before her discharge. The nurses were willing to answer questions for me when Ms. Phelps was busy, and that was nice. Overall a very nice experience.
