Some of my friends who are reading this are considering a midwifery trip to the DR in the fall. Here is a list of complications that I was able to see in one week. These are things that we read about in our text books but rarely get to see. Here we had a hands on experience with all of these:
Neural tube defects
Club feet
Premature babies (2lbs)
Anencephaly
Twin c section
Several normal c sections(every shift)
Fetal demise/still birth (every shift)
HIV
Hep B
Chlamydia
STIs
Pre eclampsia
HELLPs
Malnourishment (mother)
D&C; 1st and 2nd trimester
Retained Placenta
Hemorrhage
Broken Cord
Shoulder Dystocia (my first catch)
