As a doula sometimes my peers will reach out and ask for my opinion on birth situations. I just want to share this because I want women to be empowered. Let your body do what it needs to do. All of these unnecessary interventions often lead to problems. This mama is likely gonna end up with a cesarean. (Term/abbreviation explainations in the comments)
"Is it me or.....
At a birth with a first time mom. She was admitted w/contractions, 4cm. Fetal monitor applied, PT confined to bed. About 2 hrs later, she requested an epidural. I asked if she could wait, she said no. Epidural applied. About an hour later, pitocin started. Another hr later, AROM. Now 2 more hrs later she has fever and "chorioamniitis". Started on antibiotics.
Was this entire situation "created"? Can't help thinking too many interventions."

@santistevanmommie yeah all of my babies were sunny side up
I'm glad it's never kept me up at night! She was also face up instead of down. And they had turned her once already during labor
@santistevanmommie i wasn't there but it does sound like the right choice was made. Sometimes ice can be applied to the cervix to attempt reduction in the swelling, but sometimes it isn't worth it.
I often wonder if I opted to c section to quickly being a first time mom. Caleighas head was swelling and she wasn't in distress but my cervix did swell as well. I was an 8 then down to a 5 in an hr
@arivera64, oooo ok ok thanks
@november6th no not at all. Pitocin is a drug to induce labor
@arivera64, i never knew you could get pitocin and an epidural isnt pitocin a pain medication too
@bria yeah. I hear you. Just don't get pregnant and end up with a winter baby cause i dont doula in the winter 😂😂😂 not in CT
I have nothing bad to say about Danbury hospital itself but I want to try another ob office next time I think. Sucks cuz I like 2 of the obs there
I went from 3 to 6 cm in literally a matter of hours. By the time I was admitted I was 6 cm. By body was doing its work. I was in so much pain from contracting for so many days that I took the epidural but next time I know better because it was like they knew I was stuck and had total control over everything and I didn't
@bria smh yupp
I knew she broke my water too quick and I asked her why she was doing it why I couldn't wait for it to break on it's own and she said "to speed things up" really bitch is that why I was there overnight before having my kid
@arivera64, it was so messed up I will definitely be waiting next time
This is what the doctor did. She talked about a csection ran out cuz she had to do an emergency c section, came back and said "I just did a c section and don't really feel like doing another one so we're gonna try pitocin but we have to do it really low and slow cuz I don't wanna blow out your uterus" WHILE IM STUCK IN A BED 😠😠😠😠 I wanted to kill her
