Question for Parents

[Kitte]

So I am bored watching maternity ward one of the babies was very hard to deliver and was stuck for a while. It has a very pronounced cone head and I was just sort of wondering about how long it takes for the conehead to go away?

See what happens when I get bored.

 

[TWB]

I hope she continus to want the baby instead of changing her mind later on.

I think she will...not that I am an expert, but the look on her face when she thought the baby was sick...I dont know seemed very telling to me.

this was her third right?
She was afraid of caring for 3?

Yes she is a single Mom and was saying two was hard enough. But I think now that she is in Mommy mode...she will make it work. But again I am no expert. I am just hopeful.

ok, between LIT and cleaning, I had missed some.


Thought it was funny when the flakey gramma thought for sure it was a boy.

Those two grandmas were soooooo flakey!! When they left the room the Mother appologised to the drs and said "Sorry they are like Dumb and Dumber!"

Was the baby French? Because French people sometimes have coneheads.

I didn't see the episode you're refering to, but being a delivery room/ neonatal nurse, I just have to reply.

It is amazing how fast those little coneheads go down. Most of them are due to "molding" like being stuck against the cervix too long. Those will generally go away in a day or so.

If a physician uses a vacuum to extract a baby, in a perfect world, it goes on the crown of the head, and the babe is literally sucked out as the mom pushes. Those kind of cone heads are called caputs. Those go away in a couple of hours, but leaves one helluva hickey on the poor baby's head. It can also throw a baby into hypovolemic shock. Not a good thing, but a necessary evil in the eyes of physicians.

The third type of conehead is called a cephalahematoma. It is a one sided bleed that generally takes a couple of months to several months to go back to normal.

That is probably more than you wanted to know huh?

No such thing! Thanks for the info never know when a girl may need it...I watch the baby shows all the time. I could spout off all my baby conehead knowledge next time!
