hi i have this weird question perhaps its more concerning clinical students rather than step 1 takers. but here goes:
ive just recently started my clerkship and observed this during my obgyn lab rotation:
the lady was in labor and she had on her gown (but it didnt cover her chest) and her legs werent covered either so she was all out there in the common ward with 3 obgyn specialists around her, 2 other nurses and 3 other residents (me and 3 other friends were far in the background because we didnt wanna crowd the area even more). now as it was shocking to us that the lady wasnt covered efficiently, the culture shock didnt end there for us. here (where i am studying currently), they stimulate the production of oxytocin release by massaging the lady's breast so she would milk whilst asking her to push. bearing in mind that she was already given an ergotamine jap, we dont understand the need for the extra oxytocin stimulation? also, if she starts milking before the baby is delivered, wont that be her colostrum and then when she starts feeding, the baby wont have it because colostrum only lasts 20 mins rite? did i get this rite?
now my question:
is this the same procedure for child birth in the US? cos in malaysia (where i come from), this is a law suit at hand. disrespecting the lady for one, but milking her?? she aint got udders.
