"At 6cms dilatation it is not normal for a baby's heartrate to be dipping with EACH contraction in a normal labour."
They told me that the heartrate only dipped to between 90 and 100 after epidural admin. It could be possible that had she shifted her weight or lay on her side that this may have stabilised but we'll never know now. Basically, this SOB was looking for any excuse to section her. He then had the gawl to say to her that he thought her pelvis might be too small. She had had a posterior labour so that would account for labour being longer than average but also her progress whas inhibited by hourly vaginal exams just as she was getting comfortable and in a rhythm. At least she knows it was not her fault. I really hate it how obs have this knack of making a woman feel like there is something wrong with them. Gotta go and put Liam to bed.... Cheers, Cas.
