My first day with N* was fantastic. The first woman we visited was the first woman whose birth I would attend. N* asked me to take D*'s blood pressure. I felt like a complete wally when I couldn't hear anything and Noreen turned the stethoscope head around.
D* was 38 weeks, gravida 3, and easily palpable. Next time I do a palpation I should really do it without watching N*, or before N*. D* will have a planned induction on 8 August if she does not go into labour prior to 40 weeks gestation. Baby was ROL. D* may not have much support for rest prior to the birth.
A* is gravida 2 and at 24/40. She had an amniocentesis to identify risk of Down's Syndrome. Amnio came back negative and identified baby is a boy. She has difficulty with her daughter C* who requires a special diet. The concern is in respect to family dynamics and risk of problems if baby is difficult. Constipation a problem. Decision points covered.
