Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    I saw my first up close birth of a baby.

    Last night was one of the craziest nights I have ever experienced at the hospital. I was waiting to assist on a hernia operation, when my instructor tells me "Do you want to do a C-section?" I said "No, I'll do the hernia." 30 sec's later I changed my mind and ran down to the labor and delivery floor. I met my preceptor and he says "We have 20 minutes to setup." I thought to myself "That's good, at least we have some time."

    So we walked into the operating room, the second my hand touched the supplies the door flew open. The nurses were bringing the patient in and "Code Purple" was being announced. Code Purple means the mother is in distress. So it went from a calm room to organized chaos. There were doctors and nurses running in, the mom was crying, everything moved at the speed of light. I was opening supplies and throwing the wrappers on the floor and the nurse was cleaning up behind me. They get the mother on the bed and announce "The cord is around the baby's neck." Once the mother was put to sleep it took only 3 minutes to get the baby out. It was so weird actually seeing a live birth, it looks way different than tv. The baby was a little purple, but once the doctors started working on him, he started crying just like a newborn does. After the baby was out things calmed down a little, but the mother was still bleeding heavily. Once the bleeding was stopped it seemed like time went back to normal. In the end both mom and baby are ok.

      So you got a chance to slap that baby to make it cry? It should have been fun
      You said it took 3 min to get a baby out? It's rather quick (I can't tell anything since I didn't have your experience)..is it because the mother was put asleep?

        It was an emergency c-section. Once the mother was put to sleep, the baby has to be taken out as quickly as possible. If it takes to long to get the baby out, the drugs that were given to the mother will travel to the baby and that's not a goodthing. Plus the cord was around the baby's neck, so that made it even more of an emergency.

              It wasn't a vaginal birth. The baby was taken out through an incision in the lower part of the stomach. So the vagina looked normal, nothing came out of it.

                    I liked reading what you posted Emil. Not sure why, but maybe it has to do with a beautiful thing (give birth) a woman can do. Just too bad that not every woman can give birth. :-(

                    The baby was a little purple, but once the doctors started working on him, he started crying just like a newborn does.
                    Now THAT is a big relief. To hear the baby cry that is.
