Regarding birthtimes.

[Guest guest]

Often times I see some astrologers radically "rectify" a recorded birth time

on the plea that nurses and doctors are not mindful of such things or the

importance of birth times.

 

The following was sent to me by a client who is a delivery room nurse. What

she says is a lot different from what those astrologers have said.

Regarding birthtimes. As a new Registered Nurse in a labor & Delivery Unit

I can say with strong conviction that once the baby is "out", ie, cleared of

the mother before the umbilical cord is cut, the nurse is looking at the big

clock on the wall and noting the time, since that time has to be entered in

the paperwork, in multiple places. We also note when the placenta is out

which is generally 2-5 minutes post-birth. The Dr. announces this so we can

record it as well. Once the Dr leaves the room they need the birth time,

placenta time, and birth weight to enter immed into their paper work. So

knowing the birthtime is vital, since it is entered in so many places.

The same routine is followed at each birth so after a while the nurse

becomes quite good at noting birthtimes. Margin of error would only be 1 or

2 minutes, but again, we are so good at gauging time that even if we were

involved with resusitating a blue baby we still know how many seconds passes

and can say :Baby born at 8:39. The hospital where I work is in New York

City and we do approx 2000 births a year, including c-sections.
