I agree wholeheartedly with
Joy. This is exactly what I did when I was attending homebirths. I think
the most important thing to do in any labour is to LISTEN TO THE WOMAN,
more often than not they pick up variations through their intuition. Mind
you I don't necessarily believe many women in hospital are able to do
that, often because a) their mindset is completely different and b) labour
is masked by a variety of external factors, ie pain relief, CTG's
etc.
Trying to incorporate my homebirth
philosophy into a level 3 delivery suite often brought me into conflict
with other members of staff. Having said that many of the women I looked
after went on to have normal births, I wasn't so successful in getting rid
of all the paraphernalia, I just didn't always take alot of notice of
it!!!!
Still, really found that too
stressful so am working in postnatal, I am getting very good at picking up
the pieces!
