This. I mean seriously what was he thinking!
Definitely. I'll quite likely have one but ignorance is bliss re: the size of the needle and such.
The birth plan couple made me want to choke them through the tv.
Yes, you can "plan" but in the end do what is best for your CHILD- that was what the nurse was trying to do!
I totally agree. You can go natural if you want, fine but let them check in on the baby to make sure all is well. You never know if they are in duress. Without monitors I wouldn't have known that by laying on my left side I was crushing DS's cord that was around his neck. As long as I labored in the other positions he was fine. They need to monitor the baby.
Wow....
Natural birth is one thing - denying an internal exam at 42 weeks after 18 hours of labor is just IRRESPONSIBLE. Your birth plan is more important than a healthy baby at that point. Holy moly...
And WOW on Tasha and Devin. Who brings a stroller into L&D?
Was very very interesting to say the least!

THIS! I was watching and thought they were crazy. I totally support having a natural birth but the way they acted toward the nurse was rude and unjustified. If you wanted such a "hands-off" approach as their doula put it, then maybe consider having an at home birth or somewhere that blends better with your plan. The nurse wasn't doing anything out of line by asking to check the baby. EEEEEK..sure makes you have more respect for L&D nurses.
The Birth plan couple were making me crazy. My doctors offices has a strict no Doula policy, and after watching that I can totally see why. I also do not understand why they did not drive the 30 minutes to the natural birthing center. They obviously didnt want any medical attention, there is a point that you should want to make sure that baby is ok. Like the nurse said, I can see how you are doing, but I have no idea how the baby is doing.
More power to the women that go natural, but if you really do not want medical involvement then either do a home birth or a birthing center...
Irresponsible based on what? As if 18 hours of labor is somehow outside the norm - for a first-time mother especially! What action is the doctor going to take based on the result of the internal?
Your doctor's office would deny you a doula, which is proven to reduce the incidence of unnecessary interventions, including c-sections? That sounds like pretty bad practice to me.
