I was assisting with a vaginal delivery this morning. Everything went well for the most part for the mom and the baby, although a little incident happened and it's all my fault. After we clamped the cord, I was told to collect a bit of the cord blood from the mom for analysis. For some unknown reason I lost control of the hemostat as I was releasing it and I stupidly lifted the cord upward - and voila, blood start squirting all over me and my colleague. We clamped the cord back quickly, but the damage is done. I got a bit of the blood on my lip too but luckily I didn't have any in my mouth.
Well, a good lesson learned.
