She's 9 cms? She's very calm! Has she already had her epidural? I thought I was watching intently!

BalloonSlayer · 07/03/2011 21:36

Wish they'd say how long she had been labouring before they decided on the caesarean.

hellymelly · 07/03/2011 21:37

Why a c-section so soon?

NotaMopsa · 07/03/2011 21:37

dreadful!!

Ellie02 · 07/03/2011 21:37

not dilating sheep

darleneconnor · 07/03/2011 21:37

why does she need an EMCS?

It hardly seems like an emergency.

coinoperatedgirl · 07/03/2011 21:37

Who cares if he ate fish and chips, maybe she was instructed not to eat. If I was in a room for 12 hours plus and was then let loose to eat, I'd probably buy fish and chips too.

is it mean of me to think "ooh I'd laugh if it's a girl" to the couple who bought a year's worth of boy's clothes!

'Poor woman having to wait an hour and a half for an epidural.'

I had to wait 4 hours for one. Twice.

She's having an EMCS 'cos her placenta isn't moving i think.

Was her baby in distress in the lead up to the EMCS?

sheeplikessleep · 07/03/2011 21:39

can't they give her pethidine? for the lady who is waiting for an epi? maybe?

NotaMopsa · 07/03/2011 21:39

he is SOO bloody annoying 'shhhhhh' yourself

headfairy · 07/03/2011 21:39

late to the party but why can't the poor woman waiting for the epi get in a bath or something to help her?

therealmrsbeckham · 07/03/2011 21:39

Ooh poor woman FGS give her some more pain relief Sad

BalloonSlayer · 07/03/2011 21:39

That's awful Expat Sad

crikeybadger · 07/03/2011 21:39

She's not dilating Sophable- 'failure to progress ' was the term they used.

DH has just had to fill me in as I didn't see why she was having a ecs.

darleneconnor · 07/03/2011 21:39

so?

who says the cervix should dilate 1cm per hour, women's bodies aren't all the same, allowances should be given for different people

she'd be dilating faster if she was upright

Did he just shhh her? Angry

Meglet · 07/03/2011 21:39

That bloke in the pink shirt is a tosser.

noeyedear · 07/03/2011 21:39

Doesn't seem to be explained very well- First she had a show and nothing else, then suddenly she's 9cms and not progressing, but seems fine. Unless she is high risk for some reason?

Heathcliffscathy · 07/03/2011 21:40

she just said failure to progress. which is a bullshit reason.
