So this week has been SUPER busy in the Labor & Delivery part of Hillcrest. So many women come in every hour to have thier babies. There are also a ton of women who have already delivered. These patients need to be visited every hour to make sure everythings okay. The nurse and I are assigned 4-5 patients everyday (both pregnant and not). We go around and give them medicine, change thier IVs, and check the baby's vitals. We also check the heartbeat of the babies in the women who are still pregnant to make sure thier hearts are healthy. This week there have been a lot of sick babies being born. There was a set of twins born premature over the weekend and one of them has been in the intensive care area for days. Another baby that was born last night was also sent to that area to be given special treatment. This nursery is far from all the other babies and is closely monitored to make sure that all the sick babies are doing okay. It's really sad to see the babies in there because they're so small and there is nothing they can do! It's really heartbreaking. There is also a lady who I've been helping take care of who is in the hospital for the next 2 months (or whenever she delivers) because of unusual bleeding. Although she is not hooked up to IVs, she had tubes in her arms so that she is ready at all times to be hooked up if something happens. She is closely watched all day; we visit her the most. We check her bleeding and give her all sorts of medicines. We also check the heartbeat of the baby every few hours to make sure everything is okay. Even though there are a lot of sad things to see, the baby delivering part of the hospital is really fun and exciting! :)
