Creative methods you have experienced by a doctor.

Hi JenInTN Creative... Doctors I am not sure. I think all the doctors whom I am in the company of get creative only after putting me under the anesthesia. When I woke up - the first time, they revealed I had Ulcerative Colitis, the next time they said - I will never have any other ailment but this (UC) and the most recent one - they told me - I have stones in Gall Bladder and kidneys too Btw, I must say the doctors at your place are much better and seem to be genuinely more creative

Wow! The doctors and nurses have probably done this afew times. Cool to have the mom and dad work together like this. One cool thing about my daughter's birth and her first child was that the same doctor was doing the birth of both. I was surprised to see his ID and had to double think myself. He was tickled to hear it too.

This too me does sound quite creative, and probably a Good way to save some money on their part as well. Considering the way insurances are with paying anything these days, I am sure this might be part of the reason they considered trying something like this. But if it seemed to help with the Deliver, maybe this is something that others could learn from and incorporate as well.

I have never heard of that! So how did it work? I mean....just pulling did the trick? My doctor hasn't done anything creative...not in a situation like that!

That is something that I never heard, but if it works, that's great!!

I wish I had something positive to say about doctors but all the ones that I met when I got sick left something to be desired. I haven't gone to see ones in a few years as they almost killed me with their medications that didn't help and only made things worse. Some years ago(about 36 years ago) when my second daughter was born prematurely and jaundiced, the doctors at the hospital wanted to give her a blood transfusion (which I don't believe to be good medicine), I did meet an amazing doctor. Now I'm not sure where he came from, even if he was a doctor or an angel. However he came out of the blue to suggest an alternative, ultraviolet light. It did the trick and my daughter is 36 years old. Yes, there are amazing doctors here and there. Glad that you had one of those when your granddaughter was born.

What a great idea? I have never heard of anything like that. Gets the hubs participating and gets Mum's mind off the pain of the contraction....maybe a lil bit. When I delivered my first bub an older "sister" came to my head to whisper words of encouragement to me. I was on my side with one leg in a stirrup . I grabbed the woman with each contraction and used her to pull against while I bore down. LOL. I pulled her off her feet a couple of times, I knocked her veil off. I'll bet she never again got that close to a woman delivering her baby.

Wow! I have never really experienced something that creative with a doctor or a healthcare person. However, I am amazed at the creativity of such a doctor and the patience. Here in my country, most would just opt for a c-section not only because it's a lot easier but also because their professional fee for a c-section is higher compared to normal delivery. Is the doctor fairly young or an experienced one? I know for a fact that doctors or OB Gynes who are older and more experienced are more patient and would rather have a normal birth because they say mothers are more satisfied when giving normal births. Have a great MyLot experience ahead! Congratulations as a new grandmother!

They wern't very creative 51 years ago when i had my first son. In fact if i had been able i'd got up & whipped the nurse who was in the delivery room w/me, lol. What a BIT** SHE WAS. i'M GLAD THEY HAD A BETTER APPROACH W/YOUR DAUGHTER.

im trying to picture how the sheet would help her labor? its been 32 yrs since my last was born and 30yrs since i saw a birth. my first grandchild. things have obviously changed a lot. it seems more like the doctors are going back to more ancient ways that could have been a better way. like squating. thats how native women did it.

I have never heard of this tug O war method. It sounds very interesting. I bet it was exciting to watch. Different birthing techniques are emerging every day. It is all for the better for women going through difficult labor. Congrats on the new baby!

Wow, that was indeed creative way. I haven't had such experience but your story is really wonderful. My doctors are supportive anyway, and I thankful for them. I had all my kids deliver thru c-section and all op were successful.

Congratulations on the birth of your grand-baby. Hope the new parents are recovering from their efforts. I have never heard of anything like this, but I don't have too many friends giving birth these days. The most creative thing I ever saw a doctor do was use a hot paperclip to open a hole in my toenail to release pressure after I closed a car door before my foot was out of the way. The toe was so swollen it was threatening to push the nail away. I was amazed when the doctor heated a paperclip to redhot and then burned a hole in the nail with it. I guess I was expecting the lastest in technology.
