Salisbury Pediatric Assoc. and L&D

On 6/7 I went to Salisbury Pediatric associates, my day there was boring. There weren't many patients the morning was very slow. On Friday I was in labor and delivery at NEMC. I enjoyed my day in L&D. I observed a 15 yo primagravida deliver a 6lb 9oz baby girl at 1048. The delivery was a vacuum assisted vaginal delivery. The doctor had to use the vacuum because as the baby was being delivered her heart rate dropped. The baby had a nucal cord, the doctor was able to unwrap the cord from the neck, and after mama saw the baby respiratory came and took her to the nursery. Another patient was a 29yo multigravita. Gravida 3 Para 2. She came in at midnight on Thursday. Her contractions had stopped by the morning, so the doctor performed an AROM and oxytocin was started. When I left she was 100% effaced and at 5-6 centimeters.
