In this jaw-dropping episode of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne sits down with Dr. John Ozimek to unpack a once-in-a-career case: a full-term abdominal ectopic pregnancy that defied every odd and expectation. What began as a positive pregnancy test and a growing ovarian mass quickly unfolded into a 37-week miracle. She had severe preeclampsia, a 22-pound tumor, massive hemorrhage, and a baby developing entirely outside the uterus. Dr. Ozimek walks us step-by-step through the clinical decision-making, the ethical weight of prioritizing maternal safety, and the power of a well-prepared, collaborative team in the face of the unprecedented. For labor and delivery nurses, this story is a masterclass in breaking complex crises into manageable components and a reminder of how we can function even in uncharted territory.
