[quote=Anonymous]Have any of those of you who are just fine with all sorts of chit chat in the delivery room actually given birth yet? And had a natural birth? Sure, if you're flat on the bed with an epidural perhaps you are able to concentrate on multiple things at once. When I had both my children it took all my energy to concentrate on the birth, and all my energy to communicate in an effective manner (such as asking for a sip of water). I was completely unable to focus on anything else. If someone else was in the room talking about their golfing trip and distracting my focus from the very important task of birthing my baby I would have wanted to punch them. Of course, I'd have been completely incapable of actually communicating this fact, or doing it. But yes, an OB chatting about other topics while a woman is in the final stages of labor shows someone who has no understanding of the labor process or the woman's needs. I would fire them.[/quote]
