just came back from the hospital. this is my 3rd day of Obstetrics and Gynaecology posting. a bit tired. but i'm not assigned to the labour room just yet. can't work on those ten deliveries yet. i still have one more to observe before i can conduct any delivery. for these two weeks, i'm assigned to the antenatal ward. it's where pregnant mommies go when there's any complication in their pregnancies or just before they go into labour. so all i do now is practice palpating the distended foetus-filled abdomens. but i still cannot appreciate the development of those babies.
gerrrrrammm sgt. tak pe. i have to be patient for the time being. i know i'll learn to master it in due time insyaAllah. we haven't even had a any briefing on the do's and don'ts of this posting yet coz the doctor incharge seems to be ever so busy. kene terjun je and do what we can. there's so much abbreviations. try guessing what ANC, BF (no, its not boyfriend), FM, ROM, PP, USOD, FKC stands for???
clueless?? try finding 'em in O&G books.
orait, i'll cut u guys some slack.
ANC : ante natal care
BF: breastfeeding
FM: fetal movement
ROM: rupture of membrane
PP: placenta previa
USOD: unsure of date
FKC: foetal kick chart
best gak ble dah tau. everyday i learn a new one. dulu when we went to visit anyone yg baru give birth, sape yg dah lepas O&G wud ask these new mommies macam2 and i nganga je lah kat situ tak faham pape. now tak faham gak but i'm learning.
kay, wish me all the best!
