[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can they possibly hire a consultant who knows something about childbirth? With Janine, they cut that cord without clamping it. Now, she’s in labor surrounded by blood soaked sheets—that’s not normal and would mean an abruption or serious complication. It’s a show about a childbirth centered culture so you think they’d invest in someone to get the childbirth part remotely correct. [/quote]

I didn't think it looked like that much blood. [/quote]

Most of the bleeding in childbirth happens in the immediate postpartum, right after the placenta. I’m a midwife and if I had a client lying in a pool
of blood like that, I’d think her placenta was abrupting or her uterus was rupturing. [/quote]

+1. There definitely shouldn't be a pool.of blood during the first stage of labor. Some bleeding in the 2nd stage is possible if you are tearing as the baby comes out. But when I saw that pool of blood, I definitely thought she was bleeding out. Not sure how she even got outside, then back inside again.

She should have shot the Waterfords and stolen.their IDs and car and hightailed it out of there. No one else even knew she was missing....[/quote]
