anyone around who can translate jargon and abbreviations from birth notes pretty please?

[Tutter]

am workin through my copy (just arrived) of ds1's notes

first question: what does SROM mean? (in context of show)

spontaneous rupture of membranes

Spontaneous Rupture of Membranes

thank you

next: VE (in context of VE findings/VE to assess progress)

vaginal exmaination

btw, there's a little circle before SROM - i take it means SROM didn't happen? (i had to have my waters broken by the mw)

and later it says "tutter reports ? SROM"

In that case,if in the context of a show, maybe it means there was no sign the membranes had gone...?

you must have told them you thought your waters had gone...and then did they check you ? and then they broke later ?

Did you think they'd gone and said that to the MW?

was your show quite liquidy??

hmm ok thanks. not sure. can't remember thinking they'd gone

sorry for drip-feed of questions, but next:

BO ++

ARM discussed

CTG commenced

not sure about BO ++

ARM - artificial rupture of membranes

CTG - monitoring of foetal heart rate and the contractions

maybe i was really smelly

oh no

could the B stand for bowel [horror]

BO ++ = Bowels open & lots of poo

yikes

gulp

indeed i know that the mw had to, er, change her apron a couple of times

[horror]

poo is part of childbirth tutter !

is the B0 ++ your blood group as in O positive?

vertex?

head down

oh Bowels open! I do birth notes as part of my job never seen that before!

lol

are you still pregnant?
