Of Night Calls

ah, now i see the allure of blogging in the wee hours of the morning. heh.

have just seen one delivery. came quite suddenly actually - the p2 patient was 5cm dilated and i was told that she'd probably take an hour or so at least before she delivered. so i went down to seven-eleven for a stroll, and when i came back up, she was already being prepped! hadn't had a chance to request for permission earlier because she was in much pain before that, but she was kind enough to let me witness the birth. she pushed and in about fifteen minutes the baby boy was out and crying lustily. amazing.

five more hours to go. meanwhile gossip and discussion about plans for the future and the lecture notes on gdm are my entertainment for the night.

it's time to get out of the mo room before i freeze to death!
