OB fun

Well, today when I was post call, I got home at 8:30 am and had started to relax and nearly fell asleep when I got a page that my first continuity OB pt was in labor. Now, the page came in at 10 am and we thought, the R2 and myself, that surely a person delivering her 4th child would easily pop #4 out in no time so at the most, I would be there for 3 hours. So I went back to the hospital. 3 hours later she was still pregnant and the stubborn kid was refusing to come down into her pelvis. Meanwhile I was now really tired having only slept 2.5 hours on call. I felt bad leaving and also wanted to deliver this baby but I just couldn't stay awake. So I left, had a little nap, then cleaned the house. So I missed my first opportunity to have a continuity delivery. Argh. I wonder when she delivered...well, tomorrow I'm going in to round on mom and baby so I guess I find out then as well as the sex of the baby.
