just recently I have been with several women at birth who have birthed
the head and then the contractions have gone walk about. Now I am a
very patient person at this time but have had one particular one where
the baby was that lovely shade of navy that they go that even made my
adrenalin levels rise (more than usual).
Last night the baby maintained a good colour but after waiting at
lesast five minutes for the next contraction it was not a very
effective one and the baby decided to do a little dance and squirm but
not move forward. The shoulders definately were not stuck I just dont
think it got the anterior shoulder onto the pubic bone to act as a
fulcrom to pivot on. I was a bit sceptical about how long it might be
till the next contraction but with encourgaement Mum was able to move a
bit and use enough effort to get her out. Of course she cried straight
away but I feel like I have another grey hair.
Question: how long is the longest people have had to wait for the next
contraction at this stage?
