This might seem like an odd question. I’m a L&D + postpartum nurse. Having a high risk pregnancy and a 29 wk premmie we’re traumatic for me and it took some time for me to work through this. Since I had my baby, I don’t want to work in L&D anymore. I had my baby where I work and I had an emergency caesarean. I just don’t want to be a part of all that anymore because 1. I think it could be triggering for me (being in the OR, seeing more premmies and/or bad outcomes) and 2. I don’t feel like I can handle and don’t want to deal with that level of stress anymore. Can anyone relate to this feeling? I’ve already made the decision not to do L&D anymore but just wondering how others feel and sometimes wonder if I’m ‘overreacting’ or something.
