8 Hours in Labor & Delivery

Things I've learned today while shadowing in L&D:

1. Vaginal births are more disgusting than C-sections. Way more blood than I thought, meconium and poop. 

2. First time parents are precious. Sixth time parents are not as inspiring. 

3. OB doctors are awesome, great teachers and down-to-earth. (Whoa...they're like primary care doctors!)

4. The birth canal is an awe-inspiring place. 

5. Placentas are underrated. 

6. The smells of OB....o.m.g.

7. Motherhood...and fatherhood are gifts from God.

8. Can't wait to do it again!
