Remember I did a teaser for you about a feeding problem a few months ago?
Here is a childbirth story for you and see if you can guess what happened next. I will be back with the answer later. Real life story...
A midwife colleague asked me to look after her in labour. Her first baby was an elective C/S for placenta praevia during which she haemorrhaged badly and needed a blood transfusion.
What she hoped for was a waterbirth and a 6 hour discharge back home.
She called me last night thinking that she might be in labour and she wanted to be examined before she went into the hospital. Her contractions were irregulaer 2-3 every 10 mins and she felt quite short lasting. She had had a show and was using a TENS machine. She was nervous about labour and was not sure she would be able to cope when the contractions got stronger.
She was also bouncing on a gym ball when she got a contraction but was coping really well.
She was delighted to hear she was 6cm dilated and off we went to hospital....
What do you think happened next...
