Did you notice the woman pushing down on "Noelle"'s stomach? They kind of pulled the baby out too, didn't really wait for the shoulders to deliver on their own. To look on the bright side though, did you notice at the end, when "mama" and "baby" were together, it looked like she was nursing.

The Crash Dummy? That is, quite simply, the scariest looking dummy I've ever seen. I would think that it would be far more useful (and probably cheaper) to just give the nurses extended training by having them attend actual births, with live women! Who got her pregnant?

Someone comes in during the night and just pops a baby right under your skin! LOL She was nursing at the end... which is a bight side to the weirdness. I guess as a nurse I don't see it as so "weird" as we use simulators for all sorts of things (starting IV, packing wounds, putting in caths, etc). At least they will be ready when something happens... but it would be nice if they also used the robotmama for different real life none complicated births and different normal birth positions so they could learn other was to deliver babies ( like on hands and knees, standing up, squating, in the water, on the toilet, etc) instead of just the poor woman laying on her back. Heather in Tucson I had no idea that is how you got pregnant! Someone comes in during the night and just pops a baby right under your skin! LOL

There's a big difference between the reaction when you know you're looking at, say, a prolapsed cord, and the reaction when it's a surprise. And it's not like people walk into the hospital saying, "Hi, I'm seven weeks away from expecting to have this baby, but I'm going to present footling breech in the morning." (That would be me!)

No, lol that thing is creepy! Happy Halloween, nurses! Has anyone see those "reborn" dolls? Those things look dead. I could throw a picture of my daughter (stillborn) in with them and I bet no one would bat an eye. “Am I the only one who thinks that robot looks like an animate corpse?”
