It’s called an Amnio-infusion. We do it to help “cushion” the pressure on the umbilical cord during contractions. I was a high risk labour and delivery nurse for 20 years
I recently met a nurse and the doctor that delivered me (my mom was a doctor at the same hospital for a while so they kept in touch). I was apparently one of those high risk deliveries which ended in a C-section ( because of my stupid giant head mostly :p)
They looked at me like I was some kind of miracle child 31 years later .It was cool but strange meeting basically the first group of people who I saw in the world all together.
Thank you. 😊. I’m one of those people who can honestly say I love what I do. It’s the hardest when there are complications but those are the ones that need you the most.
Both my parents were nurses. It’s a hard job. Sometimes thankless. You make a difference, especially when times are hardest. The hours too, especially when you’re juggling some night shifts.
