I have done this before
It was just past midnight and I was delivering a mom by myself. I had paged faculty several minutes ago that the baby was ready, but for some reason, neither my faculty nor my upper level residents had come. I waited. I stalled. I paged again. Still no one came. And it was time to deliver.
Seventy babies delivered this year, and I still have a second of panic at the moment of delivery. Then, what has been drilled into me kicks in, and I move automatically.
Protect. Pull down. anterior shoulder. pull up. protect. posterior shoulder. Place on mom. Clamp, cut, massage the uterus.
The baby cried, the room cheered. I smiled behind my mask.
The smile faded when I realized that something was wrong. There was too much blood. Where was it coming from? I have done this before. I felt the uterus. atony. Page faculty again. I called for pitocin as I pushed my whole hand into the vagina and placed the other on her abdomen. I squeezed the uterus, praying the blood pouring onto my shoes would stop. I have done this before. Pitocin was in. The uterus did not firm up. More pitocin, and get methergine. I asked mom, distracted by her baby, if she had hypertension. She said no, is everything ok? I replied as calmly as I was able, you’re bleeding more than I’d like but we’re going to take care of you. Give the methergine. Pray. Squeeze. Wait. The uterus began to firm and shrink. The blood slowed. I began to breathe again. I have done this before.
