So... I'm finishing off L&D, and I loved it. But I have no desires of becoming OB/Gyn.
And so my question is, in the real world, how does it work for FP's who deliver babies? Do FP's have a room or two in the FP center/clinic devoted for monitoring and delivery? Does the FP send the patient to the hospital L&D, and if so, does s/he just sit there until they deliver? What happens if you're in the middle of labor or delivering, and you realize that she needs to get cut? Is there usually an OB back up in these situations? When patient gets admitted to L&D, does the OB also see the patient or do they wait until crap hits the fan to say hi?
At my school, I haven't seen FP's around... and all the normal vag deliveries are done by midwives.
I just don't know how it works... Hope someone out there knows.
