This happened when I was younger.
A mother was being placed in the examination room attached to an Oxytocin drip, and her baby has been about 3 days dead? Anyway, the doctor had already told her of the unfortunate event and the purpose of the oxytocin to induce labor of the dead baby, and had given her time to cope with it. She had been attached to it for a few hours before I came in. It was the start of my shift and me and another colleague were just trying to change to our scrub suits. Then we heard a cry that "the baby is coming."
So yeah, me and her went hurriedly into the room, and there she was, we could see the hair. We opened and prepared the needed materials, donned gloves. We agreed that I will hold the perineum while she holds the baby's head. We kept encouraging and encouraging the mother, cheered for her that she's doing great and she should push out some more, and yeah, she did.
When the head finally came out, so did a large amount of brown amniotic fluid. And with all her pushing and the oxytocin, fluids squirted all over me and my colleague. We were drenched head to toe with a dead baby's amniotic fluid and blood. I could even taste it in my mask, feel it dripping in my face and stinging my eyes,and it even went inside my gloves and soaked my hands. The scrubs were painted with dark brown. My friend drank some of it because she was talking at that time. The mother said she was really sorry, and she decided for our good deed of handling a dead baby she named the baby after us.
The doctors were appalled to find us both drenched and bloody and smelling really really bad.
Why did I read this? I was eating the most delicious cheese and chicken enchilada. Might I add, the sauce was a bit brown or rather redish brown. I almost threw up the entire portion I had just swallowed. I don't even want to eat, smell, look, or touch it anymore.
I'm sorry for ruining your appetites.
