[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had both my kids with the midwives at GW. During my 2nd labor, the midwife bought me a few extra pushes to get the baby out myself and for that I am thankful. My husband said the OB team was literally in the doorway ready to wheel me to surgery.

My first labor I was the last L&D bed at GW before they started diverting to Sibley. My labor was long and my doula told me frankly “if you had gone to Sibley, that baby would not have come out of your vagina” [/quote]

Story 1: how lucky you are to give birth in a hospital and to have a medical team ready to help your baby to be born safely. What good fortune to live in a Western country with good medical care and access to obstetricians who can be called upon immediately to ensure your baby is born alive and doesn’t suffer brain damage. Women in developing nations literally die for lack of access to OBs and C sections, and develop fistulas and deliver stillborn babies for lack of this access. Your perspective that somehow the OBs wanted to, what? Rob you of an experience? Avoid your kid having oxygen deprivation and ending up brain damaged or with cerebral palsy is really messed up.

Story 2: That’s total speculation.

Way to weirdly skew this person's experience to suit your own narrative?

PP, I have two toddlers at home and would also be happy to avoid c section recovery if I could do it safely. Glad you were able to do so.[/quote]
