Just a thought -- perhaps I'm too cynical, but there wouldn't be -- ahem -- obs, midwives etc who'd -- ahem -- 'punish' women for making them work on their holidays??? Oh, surely not?

I was in attendance at a Christmas day birth. 41 week  34 year old primip, everything normal in pregnancy, but endured severe pain in early labour and was unable to 'break through' this. So, 24 hrs after SRM, and 12 hours of severe pain, 3 cms and needing help. Light mec with some tachchardia. Arrival at hospital at 7.30 am First midwife (older and 'very experienced') declared baby to be either breech or OP. Wee in this cup she demanded to a woman who was screaming in pain. Lie here then and examined her through a contraction ...probably OP ...   ---   Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
