Can you change your babies position from ROP (Right Occiput Posterior)?

Posted on by
Right Occiput Posterior

In Right Occiput Posterior (ROP), baby is head down and the back is to the side- the mother’s right side. This position can be deceptively reassuring. ROP is the most common of the four posterior positions. Right Occiput Posterior – Baby’s back favors mother’s right side and the back of baby’s head is towards mother’s posterior. The baby would end up delivering facing the ceiling which gives you the challenge of delivering the baby with largest diameter of the head. Very often women take over 3 hours to drop the head down enough to deliver, especially the first time mothers. How can you change the baby position from ROP?

  • Acupuncture 
  • Use of a Peanut Ball
  • You can not change an infant position 
  • Lying on your side with your leg elevated on pillows between your legs

Bloodclots after birth – is this normal? Nurse Jackies Tip of the week 9-7-20

Posted on by
blood clots after birth

You just had your baby.  When you go to the bathroom to refresh yourself you see blood clots. Is this normal? Which are the correct answers?

–Blood that doesn’t immediately pass through your vagina and out of your body may form clots. Sometimes these clots can be especially large immediately after giving birth. While blood clots are normal after pregnancy, too many blood clots or very large blood clots can be 

cause for concern

  • No, this is not normal and should seek immediate medical care
  • This is normal and you should massage your Fundus and make sure it is firm
  • You show lay down immediately and elevate your legs.
  • The clots should decrease in frequency and size over the next few weeks
  • You may not be resting enough and increasing the tendency to bleed this is why resting the first 4 weeks is so important and especially the first weeks

OMG I am pregnant! Nurse Jackies tip for 6-23-20

Posted on by

I am pregnant now what?

It’s too early  I don’t need to see a provider yet, do I ? Which Answer is incorrect!

1 No you do not need to see a provider,  because there is nothing they can do for you now. You are just too early!

2 Yes you do because the first few weeks of pregnancy are the most rapid time of development for the embryo. There isn’t a huge window of opportunity, but adding vitamins or adjusting certain medications you may be taking are important to look at as soon as possible.

3 Yes you do because the earlier the sonogram the better estimation of due date and that is important because some of the genetic tests rely on accurate dating.

4 The obstetrician or midwife can only deliver what you and your body  have developed.  Given good and proper care early right from the beginning will give your unborn baby the best start possible. 

Remember we now have online virtual and in-person classes for childbirth, newborn care, breastfeeding and BLS (basic life support) –  Take the classes and be prepared!
