Re: Embarassing midwifery moments! Oh! another time, I actually got soaked when mom's water broke. We wore very thin white uniforms and it was from my belly down (mom was on side of bed, leaning over me for her epi, doctor had bed raised so I was on a stool sitting in front of mom helping her bow her back). Luckily, they had some extra scrubs on the floor for the OR so I didn't have to walk around showing off my undies. Kinda freak accident, my nurse said she'd never had that happened to her.
Oh, and another time I had mom leaning over me, mom got sick down my back and in my hair. Funny when you throw up during labor, lots of times you don't even know you're going to do it. Only time I've been puked on.
