Hi List,
I have gotten into trouble again for something I said in a class. In the
community I live in, whenever my teaching does not jive with what makes
things easier for the Docs, I hear about it...and most often am forced to
change what i say.
BTW...my teaching is so wishy-washy and watered down already because of all
the restrictions I am almost to the point where i just want to say "do what
ever you doc says...he knows best and call me when you have problems!!!!"
The latest infraction was a mention in class that any meds including
epidurals have the potential to effect the initial nursing experience.
I have the documentation to back my claim....what i am looking for is info
on what everyone else who teaches breastfeeding classes or child birth ed
is saying. Am I being difficult as the MDs claim?
This situation was complicated by the fact that the mom in question who
told her MD about the info I gave was a 46 year old 1st time mom expecting
twins.....she came to class saying she did not want an epidural, before we
even discussed meds and her opionion did not change after class, however it
is this MD's standard practice to give all moms epidurals when they are
delivering twins "just in case". In the end it was a moot point as she
deliverd by scheduled C/S.
Thanks in advance
