Those who pushed for a long time

Was your doctor in with you the whole time you were pushing? I pushed for 2 hours and my doc was there the entire time. I'm just wondering if this is normal and if I switched OBs for the next kid if I'd likely get the same amount of attention.

Re: Those who pushed for a long time

  • No. Usually they just come when it's time to catch. He was there the lady twenty min or so BC it was his lunch break
  • With my first I pushed for about an hour and a half and my OB was in there the majority of time. But it was 11 at night and there was nothing for her to do.

    I don't think it's the norm, especially if your delivery falls during office hours.

  • I pushed 2 hrs 11 min and she was there the whole time, but baby's heart rate was dropping with each contraction. Also she is a midwife, not sure if that makes a difference.

    I pushed for 3 and a half hours and my OB stepped in a couple of times but not for long. I ended up with a csection so there was no catching to be done.

  • I pushed for 2 hours and mine was there for the last 20 minutes or so. This is what I expected though. She was actually in surgery for a portion of my pushing.

  • I only pushed for 30 minutes. Nurse asked me to do a practice push. And called my OB. I pushed a couple of times before she got there. They made me stop because I was about to push him out and they wanted me to wait on my OB. So I had to wait for about 5

  • I pushed for four hours with my first and the doctor was there the whole time. I think she stepped out once or twice to check on her other patients but I guess there was nothing urgent because she came right back in.
