My baby kicked well after each contraction. The only reason we went to the hospital was that I began to have trouble staying hydrated, and was confused as to why my contractions were literally on top of each other yet I was stuck at 5 cm for over 24 hours. *Turned out my cervix has scar tissue; once it was massaged out I was just fine and progressed to 10 cm. Not ONCE at the hospital did my baby show any signs of distress (at the intermittent EFM checks). Stop giving such outdated information! Do you also believe the cord HAS to be clamped immediately??? *eyeroll* Tams, I labored at home for days, eating and drinking. My baby kicked well after each contraction.

Clearly the baby was fine and the doctor was annoyed. If the baby was in distress and the doctor was standing by the nurse’s station, then the doctor was an idiot.

A homebirth hating doctor essentially went to a doula hating head nurse and I was pushed out of my volunteer position in a L&D. Not even sure I want to go back anymore. Oh well, the effort to destroy my doula career has backfired on those particular medical personnel...I have never had more women calling me to serve as their doula! I don't know how these women found out what happened but it seems everyone wants the doula that got "fired" by the head nurse. Similar incident happened to me.

My son was born completely healthy. Obviously, even four days was not "too long." Yes, like my four day long labor that went totally fine other than being long? My son was born completely healthy.
