[Jo & Dean Bainbridge]

Tina, FAILURE TO PROGRESS  the old 1cm per hour thing.  As the OB that sectioned me for FTP for stalling at 8cm for 2 hours with an OP baby after they made me lay on my back for monitoring 'just in case' , bc baby may go into distress (and of course it was MY failure to progress not their poorly timed ARM or time restrictions, or the enforced standard beetle pose, or the OB desire to show the medical students how he can 'save' me from the perilous dangers of labour....  oops! was I being facetious again?  Ungrateful person I am.   FTP often mistaken for FTW Failure to Wait!
