Forgot to mention...the booger suckers are amazing to have--you can shove them in their throat & up each nostril to suck the goo out. Don't be afraid to put it in their nostrils..I would have been but I've dealt with 3 section kids in the past & it's of the most importantance to get that gunk out of the airways on them so the vet showed me how it's done. Just squeeze it before inserting it, then release it so it sucks everything right out of the airway. Swinging upside down also helps a lot.
The 2nd kid came out butt first and the goo seemed to be built up on her face, I could hear her gargling and knew I had to get that out that out quick so it wouldn't get into her lungs.

You did super great!!!! I have watched all births today and have learned much from you...thank you so much for sharing this with us:))) Good to know about swinging and suctioning the goo...will add that to my birthing kit for sure!

Congratulations on all the kids today and doing a great job...and I do hope the rest will take the night off so that you can catch some sleep!

I feel like I'm getting to know these sweet Mamas:) Saw all the births yesterday and that was awesome! Glad they are taking a little break in birthing...yesterday had to be an exhausting day in the delivery rooms!
